I grew up watching FRIENDS and envied the way they used to eat Chinese food out of a carton. I'm…read morenot too fond of Chinese Food (especially in Sydney as they never have Veg options) and prefer Thai food every time. So, when I accidentally found Thai In a Box, I was ecstatic! It is conveniently located just a few stores down the road from Burwood Westfield and within walking distance of the mall or station. I don't order from their set menus as I love making my own Thai stir-fry. After many different combinations, I now like to order Vegan - Wheat noodles in medium Thai sauce, with crushed garlic and sweet basil and lots of cashew nuts. They pack it in cute cartons with chopsticks, just like in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. The one time that I've eaten in store I ordered the Red curry and found it equally tasty!

Came here looking for a Hainanese Chicken rice for dinner. Rushed here as they close at 6pm on…read moreregular weekdays except Thursday when they close at 9pm. Closing at 6 doesn't really give us office 9-5 workers much time to catch them before they close after work. But we made it at 5:30pm. They had already boxed up and were selling their day's hot buffet 'leftovers' at 3 boxes for $12 and flipped their chairs onto tables to clean their restaurant. They were still accommodating and we were still able to order something from the kitchen (Hainanese Chicken Rice $12) with an option to sit in or take away. We opted to sit in but since they were cleaning the inside of their restaurant, we asked it we could sit right outside on the shipping center tables. That was fine. The dish came with poached chicken, soup, sour ginger sauce with a bit of spice, chicken flavored rice. For a shopping center/food court style restaurant this dish will hit the spot when needed. The chicken was done well, rice flavorful (a little hard but expected when cooked in chicken broth with natural fat). Verdict: Hainanese Chicken here will do when in need and I don't want to venture too far.

After coming to the area looking for Korean restaurants close enough to the Giants' Stadium, my…read morepartner and I couldn't help but be excited to find yet another Thai restaurant we'd yet to try. Naturally, my partner went with a massively sized fish and I ordered my usual tofu & vegetable red curry with brown rice. I was quite shocked that they even had brown rice, as nearly every other Thai restaurant I've been to in Australia never offered any in their menus. I truly wish I could give a higher rating as the food was quite good, and they had been SO kind and accommodating when I mentioned my food allergies and dietary restrictions (vegan and vegetarian options available!). The texture and spice levels were beautiful, and not to mention the tofu was done exactly to my liking! But I was a bit bummed out that none of the drinks I tried ordering were available (they were out of nearly every alcoholic base). I gave it a miss and then opted for just water. Though I did keep eyeing the vast number of bottles on display behind me... On top of that, I was never made aware of just how large the 'large' sized rice bowl would be in terms of portion. Normally a cup would be the portion for small, and large would be double that. I received a rice bowl larger than the bowl of curry I ordered. Larger than my head, even! My partner did his best to help me out, but even then it proved to be just too much rice. I think I'd probably recommend that you call in first just to make sure they're in stock with certain ingredients and/or drinks if you're planning meetup anytime in the future. The waiter was absolutely lovely, but it's going to be a miss for me.

The salad was very spicy even though I asked for medium spicy. The crispy pork was nice and tasty. The soup has a lovely smell and taste. The beef could be a little bit more tender.

The place is quaint and has that family ran feeling. Most people take-away. PAD THAI CHICKEN $12.50 (with one prawn) Funny: with one prawn. That's exactly the description on the menu. When the dish arrived, it had exactly one prawn, at least they are honest. The Pad Thai was of a good standard and value. Of course it wasn't not the best ever but still very good for Ashfield. MASSAMAN BEEF CURRY $12.50 (The most famous Thai curry cooked with potato mild curry sauce) The massaman curry was the dish of the day. The beef was super tender and fell apart with a spoon. The result was a stringy meat in a well-balanced sauce. The latter wasn't overly sweet but still had a slight kick of chilli. The potatoes were cooked to breakdown point. This dish was the ultimate comfort food on a cold winter's night served with rice. thai number one ashfield massaman beef curry THAI MILK TEA ~$4 One of the best Thai milk teas after Green Peppercorn. It was well balanced and not too sweet. The signature robust tea taste was there. This is the perfect reliever if you are less chili tolerant. Conclusion Thai Number One is one of the better local dining options in the area. It is a no non-sense Thai restaurant that served great value food efficiently and more importantly tasty for most palettes. It is catered to a general audience as it isn't overly spicy. I will be a regular at this place as they seemed to be one of the better Thai places around Ashfield. They are also on Menulog (look out for vouchers). @thesydneynoob

We were here on a voucher and had a limited menu. The food was brought out quickly and it was very…read moregood too. It is such a tiny place and there was not a spare table in the short time we were there. Also, the passing parade of takeaways never stopped. The parking is a nightmare.

After looking at the real menu and seeing what we were offered tonight, just not so sure it was a bargain.

Thai Style is by far the best Thai restaurant in Burwood. And the great thing is, nobody seems to…read moreknow about it. Don't bother with booking because this place is usually a ghost town. I think they have a fairly strong takeaway and delivery following because the cooks are always frying away like madmen. The service is good, and the waiter always keeps an eye on your drink, which I like. There's nothing worse than having to flag a waiter down when you've just finished your meal and need a jumbo sized slurp. Some of my favourite dishes at Thai Style are the panang curry (in fact, all the curries are good), the pad see ew and the garlic prawn stir fry. The prices are good, so make sure you get some entrees too- the money bags are delicious. Located on the corner of Parramatta and Burwood Rd you're only problem may be trying to find a parking spot nearby. Parramatta Rd is out of the question, and Burwood Rd is usually full. To be on the safe side, just order delivery. They offer 20 per cent off your first order.

I have a bit of a Thai addiction. When I lived in Newtown I tried every Thai place on King St and…read moreeventually found my usual spots (Laddas for Satay and Doytao for everything else). But once I grew up and moved to the suburbs I needed to find a place to fix my Satay shakes. Little Thailand in Croydon Park was my local for a long time and also became my goto Thai place. It is in tight competition with Doytao Thai in Croydon, I think Little Thailand is better for lunch whereas Doytao is better for Dinner. My favourite lunch specials are the Stir Fried Peanut Sauce and Pad Thai/Pad Kee Mow. Currently they have a $10 lunch+drink special. There is parking around the back, next to the school, plus a bunch of on street parking. It does get busy at night but I have never had to park too far away. Inside is fairly welcoming, some decorations and nicely lit. The best spots are the furthest tables away from the door and counter, as there will be a steady stream of people coming in and waiting around for take-away. Rating is probably more around the 3.5 mark, but rounded up since it is one of the better places around the area.

Soft Shell Crab with Thai Basil and Chilli - had to be re-done because it arrived with vegetables and Cashew (nuts which I am allergic to). It came back, not re-cooked but with the nuts removed and represented, hence I am violently ill. In response to the Head Waitress enquiry "is everything OK?" I responded with, "No" and went on to explain why and asked for the bill immediately. She brought the bill, threw it on the table and uttered the word "Malaca" - Can any reasonable person explain this foreign expression without being rude? This Head Waitress was very rude. I confronted her over her term "Malaca" whilst delivering the bill, she replied, "I was speaking to my sister in my native tongue" ... Didn't sound Thai to me. I love Thailand, its people and its food. These people running Little Thailand need to grasp what normal hospitality, let alone Thai hospitality is.
