I spent quite a few years living in the Newtown area where $7 Thai is readily available and pretty darn good quality so it's now rare that I now go to eat Thai anywhere else at risk of having to pay above student prices. However, I took the jump and went wth a friend today to Chat Thai and to my surprise, it was pretty good. After waiting about 20 minutes to get a table, I had the Pad Kee Mao, spicy rice noodles with chicken, veges and basil. We also shared one of their desserts which had mango, sticky rice and a red bean sticky rice with coconut milk. I really enjoyed the dessert and the service was good but I'm not 100% convinced by the experience to grow up from my student day Thai food. read more

As the fan of their first store in Capitol Square, decided to do our family dinner here so I can get my favourite Thai in Sydney. We were able to make reservation for a party of 11 at 7:30pm without fuss. Food was good but was a little salty. My favourite was the spicy Thai sausages and the coconut sticky rice with mango. Nice ambience. I probably would prefer to go back to their first store when I'm back in Sydney soon! read more

Chat Thai is one the better restaurants in Westfield Sydney. It takes its traditional everyday Thai meals and street food and give it a good run for its money. Decor is very clean and tightly spaced, you can see that it's always busy and sometime so much so it's hard to walk through the aisles :) The staff are very friendly and place their orders using iPod Touches interfacing with their menu - I've been many times and I'm assuming that they've had this implemented when they started business there. Belonging to a chain also brings responsibility for being similar to the others around Sydney, however each brings it own type of flair - this is no different. It focuses on making a great meal and having that warmth to it as well. This is great for a celebration or just a quick dinner when your out of options. Of all the restaurants on this level it is hands down the best! read more

We made a booking a day before via email, hoping to skip the notorious queues. After receiving confirmation, we arrived at our designated time only to discover that we hadn't been included on the bookings list. I'm not sure what had happened at the restaurant's end. It was very stressful! Luckily another man with a booking had friends who were late so we managed to jump in his place. After this initial hurdle, we weren't disappointed with Chat Thai. The service was friendly and efficient amidst the chaos. And although our mains started coming out before the starters, there were multiple apologies (and in any restaurant so packed we can totally forgive the occasional timing glitch) from staff, and since we were sharing all the dishes we didn't care. The food was delicious. Stand outs were the whole fried fish, the BBQ lamb and the fried prawn mousse starter. Red duck curry and papaya salads were great, but not necessarily amazing. Looking forward to going back to try more dishes on their extensive menu. Also, next time I have to leave room for dessert! 2 starters + 4 mains + 2 bottles of wine + Longan Juice + tip = $200. Brilliant! read more

Terrible service - they closed 30 minutes before posted time, asked me to order dessert after I'd taken one bite of my main, then took the trash out right by me, while still eating! See picture. So, come if you want to be rushed and smell trash while eating. read more

The place was very busy, especially compared to the surrounding restaurants but the wait did not take long. I ordered the gaeng bpu (yellow curry with crab). I was warned it was spicy, but ordered nonetheless. It was spicy. To be honest, I feel that it was overly spicy and it took away from being able to enjoy the primary flavors. Service was okay, but not great. I would go there again, but probably would try another Thai place first. read more

After a long day of site seeing we were having trouble fining a place to grab dinner. Our hotel recommended we try this place and we're glad they did. Directions were super important as it's on the 6th floor of a shopping mall that from the street appeared totally closed up for the night. Our favorite dish was the chicken pad Thai but everything we ate had wonderful flavors. We would eat here again. read more

Great food and good service! Definitely one of the best for Thai food especially during a work lunch break. I ordered the "sukho thai" which was a bowl of spicy thin rice noodles with fish dumplings and minced chicken - boy it was delicious, the perfect balance of sweet and spicy read more

Excellent and affordable. One plate wonders or noodles (proper size portions) for 12.50-15.00 AUD in lunch menu. Tasty!

I love Thai food. However, Chat Thai in Westfield came down flat. Food portion - small. Price - too pricey for a small portion of a not perfectly spiced food. I could eat somewhere else. read more

This is a good Thai restaurant. The spices and flavors are consistent and authentic. For a quick bite to eat or a late night option, I would definitely be back. read more

Thai is my favorite type of food and this place kinda ruined it for me. They have a weird system where you have to download an app in order to order food. The entrees we ordered were nothing special. The crab spring rolls that we ordered for an appetizer were so bad that we sent them back. Rather than refunding our appetizer they gave us a free dessert- mango and sticky rice-which was yummy, probably the best thing we got from that restaurant. read more

Sooo I really had to think what to write about this chat thai. ...ambiance,. well a little noisy and tables placed cheek to jowl,,( really a little too close for comfort so this is not the place for a quiet dinner) service good and the food fresh and well presented. we had pork belly just beautiful... my favourite" , whole fish with shallots which was also very nice and the usual green chicken curry plus one other dish that obviously did not leave that much of an inpression ..cannot remember what it was.. great for a group of people. read more

What a surprise to find such a great restaurant in a shopping centre. It was a popular night too with our booking we were able to miss the lineup waiting for a casual booking. The ambiance I buzzy and it is a seating plan that is tight so be aware of the closeness of the tables not a problem for our family outing. A very good waiter and quick service for drinks and food. Nice to be able to taste the wine before selection of the bottle too. I have had my favourite dish Massaman Curry in a lot of towns including Bangkok and this was the best yet for me so good I went to the Haymarket branch as well!!What a treat it was and with the rice glorious. I loved this venue such a great place bigger than Haymarket and and a Sydney delight. read more

This review is not against the Chat Thai chain but rather the Westfield restaurant only. Came here with a bunch of friends, because of the size of our group we were a little indecisive with our orders and changed a couple of things around. Boy did the waitress made it clear how inconvenient that was for her. Seeing that it was a busy night we apologised and tried to be nice, nope wasn't good enough she continued to be short with us. Near end of the dinner we asked for our Kor Moo Yang which never came, she as-a-matter-of-factly told us we got it, I advised her we didn't, she insisted we did...this repeated 3-4 times so I asked her to consult her manager because I don't see this conversation going anywhere. She then yelled at me saying she saw "with her own eyes" the dish being collected after we ate it. I asked to speak to her manager again because I refuse to discuss this with her anymore, she continued with her tantrum about how we've got our dish already all while several other waiters came past but didn't intervene. After demanding to speak to the manager, he came around to tell us he'll take it off the bill, no apologies or address the fact that one of his staff was off her nut at us. Their food was ok and the decor is kinda nice but I'll never come back because of the service. If I wasn't so amused by the whole experience I would've walked out, can't say I've had a worse dining experience anywhere else in the world. read more

Yes, eating in a mall is lame. But your likelihood of getting a table is much higher.

Nice Thai food but portions are small and quite pricey. It is located inside Westfield so maybe subsidising their rent. Their service is sometimes ok but sometimes terrible. I guess it depends how busy they are. They have nice fruit slushies. It is super busy so there's always a line. You can order takeaway. Their plates smell a bit because they use the same damp dishcloth to dry them but try not to smell it or think about it too much and enjoy the food. read more

Very good Thai food. But very spicy! So beware. I love spicy food so it was fine for me but if you can't handle spicy you will die here lol. I ordered the ki Mao (fat noodle stirfry), chili fried rice, and pork, chicken, pork ball skewers. All of it was very good. Large portions good for sharing. My favorite skewer was the chicken, it was some sort of curry marinade. The pork skewer had a sweet soy type of marinade and the pork ball was in a sweet chili sauce. Very delicious! read more

I went here a few months ago and the food was absolutely fantastic. I just now signed up for Yelp, so I wanted to write a few reviews for both good and bad companies. Fortunately, this one falls under the category of a good company. The food is very reasonably priced and the waiters were very friendly. Unfortunately, they had run out of quite a few of the desserts we wanted since we went rather late, but they made up for it by giving us some free desserts along with the ones we ordered. They also gave us free rice to go, which was nice since you usually have to pay for it. I haven't been to the other Chat Thai locations in Sydney, but I am hoping they are just as good because I would love to go back! The prices range from cheap to moderate. read more

Thai chicken curry was on point. I've never had a curry that amazing. Service was great very polite and allowed us to move seats when we asked. Best thai I've have. read more

This was a great spot for lunch. Bustling but still a couple of tables here and there in their large space on the 6th Floor in the Westfield mall. We had a cozy table in the corner near the service station which actually was a good spot to sit because the tables are so close to one another and this table at least did not have people sitting on both sides of you! We ordered a really good braised chicken dish with rice and a passable pad see ew with tofu (not great, but not bad either). Service was friendly, perhaps much better than most of the service we have encountered in Australian restos. Water was filled very rapidly and the staff was very helpful. This was also an easy place to have a quick lunch as well! Definitely recommended. read more

Yummy food!!! Service was good also with attentive waitresses. Definitely go back again. read more

The green pawpaw salad is our perfect appetizer, not too hot and you can taste the sweetness of fresh ingredients. We always order pad thai and green curry for our mains. This restaurant offers authentic flavour. Make sure to book before dining or else youll be lucky to be seated after 15-20 minutes waiting. Weve been here 3x and its always full packed. read more

Well, well, well if you have not heard of Chat Thai as of late, where have you been? An amazing Thai establishment that is fast becoming a household name in Sydney. Off hand there is this Chat Thai (the Prada of Thai food, mind you) and a couple of others dispersed around the city as well as in Randwick. With the Chat Thai in Westfield's Sydney though, you find yourself surrounded by a bit of opulence. Chat Thai, you are the Prada of Thai Food in Sydney, while Miss Chu, you are the Prada of Vietnamese food right here in this chic, contemporary and cosmopolitan city. Bingo. Chat Thai, your desserts are just amazing. An item that looked like a slushie to begin with was buried in some quality taro and milk flavours. It took me a while to eat yet I was satisfied, really satisfied. Satisfied to the point that I could not eat any of the canapes at another function I went to (Chat Thai you were a good one-hour time killer) as your food was just great. Or rather I should say, delicious and stunning. Your pork dumplings might be a little hit and miss, yet your dessert and those chicken satay sticks were to die for. Glorious. I will be back. Hurrah! read more

I love great food, including Thai food.. Chat Thai is not one of my favourites. It is good if you like a cheap, quick option.. however the quality of food is poor and the service is not much to be praised upon. I would not recommend for groups as you really can not even hear yourself think in times let alone speak to anyone on the same table. The location is convenient but also lacks the atmosphere and therefore not a favourite for me. read more

Food is not bad but not special either, in my opinion. But then again, I'm vegetarian (I got the pad see ew) and I ordered take out (there were too many people inside and I didn't want to wait). read more

Food is delicious but a but portion sizes are a bit mean. Purchased a bottle of wine for $45 with dinner... was finished the food but still drinking the wine when the bill was dumped on the table as if to say we have people waiting so get out. Was expecting more considering how popular this place seems. read more

We tried this Thai restaurant as we had heard good things. We had a bit of a wait but it was worth it. Every dish was so flavorful and quantities were good. Since they have many branches all over Sydney it might be easy to find one close to you. The one we went to was inside a mall. read more

Food was fine a little bit expensive may be because it's in a mall, I was disappointed with the service. The waitress took a wrong order and blamed it on me for not stating correctly when I had pointed the dish and the number from the menu. I expected a apology and not pointing back at the customer ! read more

First, I'll start by telling you that not all the foods that are supposed to be spicy spicy. Some of them such as spicy soups and spicy salads are of course spicy. Some single dishes with rice are pretty sweet. The place is crowded which is acceptable because plenty of spaces when you are seated. Some other places have such limited spaces. Some of the food come in a really large plates or bowls so becareful with that. Services are ok considering the limited spaces and busy. So getting to you instantly or getting them to noticed is not impossible however. read more
