The place was very busy. Service is lacking. I had the minced chicken and hubby had the cashew chicken. Both were flavorful and portions were huge. My issue was the minced chicken. I think if it was sliced, I would have enjoyed it better. The Thai coffee was delicious. read more

Came here on Valentine, and the foods were good. We ordered the tomyum soup, duck with holy basil, and softshell crab with yellow curry. Every thing was good and no complaints. Though there are comparable restaurants around. Just wished there were crispy duck items in the menu. There was a deposit system where you have to deposit AUD $20 to reserve a table. We thought that Valentine could be crowded, so we made the deposit. Should have paid at the counter so they deducted the deposit. read more

I wish I had a better experience, but it was ruined by a confusing menu and the staff's complete refusal to correct their own mistake. The menu has the same number listed for different dishes. When I ordered by the number, the server brought the wrong item. I politely pointed out the mix-up, showing them the confusing menu, but they were incredibly dismissive and unapologetic. Instead of fixing the order, they insisted it was my fault.​ They refused to replace the dish with the one I actually wanted unless I paid for it all over again. I was forced to buy a second meal just to get what I originally ordered. It's unacceptable to blame a customer for your own confusing menu and then make them pay twice. The food wasn't worth the frustration or the terrible service. read more

Great place for Thai food and just as long as you know it is extremely busy in the evening so it can be chaotic. The portions are large and the 4 star rating holds true as some things are quite not on par with Thai but all in all a pretty good value for Sydney dining. Spicy basil chicken was good and dessert with shaved ice was lacking flavor. read more

Really good Thai food. Large portions and full of flavor. Place was busy and crowded. Tables were on the smaller side when ordering 2 meals an appetizer, rice and desert. Would recommend if you're craving Thai food. Also if you're with a group this is a good venue to share something family style. Also the fried donuts were tasty. read more

Home Thai Restaurant - Doughnuts thai style - Thai Near Me - Sydney, NSW

unfortunately my husband reacts to msg (ajinomoto), which is a flavor enhancer not normally used in Thai food. We thought we were safe in a Thai restaurant, but, to be safe, we talked with the waitress about his reaction , and the waitress, kindly, changed our order to avoid any possibility of msg. We are currently in the emergency room, because he has a very bad reaction to the food. Despite the waitress' assurance, the cooks avoided all flavoring EXCEPT msg. My food was bland. His was bland, but it contained msg, even though we specified no msg and even though we said he was so allergic he needed to go to the hospital. We will avoid Home in the future. Service was good except for the msg confusion. Ambience was good. read more

Came here looklng for Indonesian food for dinner early evening. It was busy and we had to order from a large menu and pay before we ate. We tried to change the order since the waitress forgot a dish, but we couldn't. We ordered chicken Pad Thai and seafood glass noodle Pad Thai with 2 beers and a wine. The meal came at different times, so m wife had nearly finished her meal when I received mine. Quality and quantity was good - with a lot of noodles. The cost for 2 came to $75 which is relatively good value read more

As others have stated, Home Thai Restaurant is a sprawl of culinary efficiency that's become a hot spot in Sydney, and while I developed a tremendous amount of respect for their speed and friendliness, I wasn't particularly blown away by their iteration of my all-time favorite Thai Dish Panang Curry. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? By Sydney Restaurant standards, Home Thai has some serious real estate, and they fill the space with some pretty high density seating. While you won't be knee to knee or elbow to elbow with your neighbors, you'll be able to hear every word they say, so maybe find a different location for an intimate date. However, if you're fine with some close quarters, you can sit back and watch the smooth efficiency with which Home Thai is run. Yes, the queue can grow long, but they burn through it quickly and from there can easily have your food out five minutes post order. It's all very impressive. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? There's great value to be had at Home Thai. Good sized curry dishes are priced as low as $12.00 AUD, which is blissfully cheap especially if you're coming from the States with a very advantageous exchange rate. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? My Panang Curry had all the potential in the world with the right mix of fresh ingredients and some fluffy accompanying jasmine rice. However, the consistency was a bit of a strike, with a more watery than creamy textures and a flavor profile that didn't quite pop in the way that I typically expect any yellow curry to do. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Home Thai is a great experience, but their dishes fall a bit short of other Thai I've had. No Star . read more

This place definitely lives up to the hype! There was quite a line when we stopped by but the service is stunningly efficient here and the line moved quickly.

We ordered the crispy pork belly (soo crispy, bursting with flavor and not too spicy) and the pineapple fried rice (fyi it's got seafood in it and the pineapple adds such a unique flavor) - we stuffed our faces and were left wishing we still had room for dessert, which looked incredible! read more

We found Home Thai on Yelp and were not disappointed! We arrived early, just before the line formed, and were seated right away at one of two remaining tables around 5:45PM. It took a bit for a server to take our order, but once the order was in our food came out fast. The massaman curry was amazing! The beef was extremely tender and the sauce was nicely balanced with coconut, spices and peanuts all working well together. Prices were extremely reasonable, but just a heads up that rice is $3 extra which isn't prominently noted on the menu. I'd suggest double checking the bill before going up to pay; we were given someone else's and it was about $35 more than ours. I'd agree with others to not be put off by the line. This is not a place where people come to linger for a long time; people are coming for excellent Thai food served quickly, so tables do turn quickly! read more

I usually love exploring different restaurants when I'm traveling... with that said, I happily came here twice within a week. Some of their dishes, i.e. Som Tum, come in a HUGE portions, while I could've done with helpings more of their curry dishes i.e. their sweet Penang Curry. Their Pad Thai was another HUGE dish that was delicious and served with the traditional sides of sugar, chili, and peanuts. My colleagues and I barely had enough room on the table for all the dishes we ordered (and shared family style). I loved everything that was ordered with the exception of the Tamarind Sauce Fish. Other than that, let your happy self go wild. Home Thai is one of the best Thai restaurants I've eat at outside of Thailand. Jing jing. read more

Very bad experience. First of all, the environment is noisy It's strange that you can't call the waiter to order They can't even count the money wrong. They added a bowl of rice 4.5dollars and gave her 20. She wrote 10dollars and then gave me five dollars and five... Then they told her that she only paid me ten dollars. Is it possible for the waiter to charge more money for the restaurant without paying attention? The price is also lower than that of another Thai restaurant in Haymarket An extra portion of rice hasn't been served for 20 minutes, but it was served after a rush. The dishes of the guests who came later than us were served Then the mango glutinous rice had to be reminded to serve. After waiting for another 12 minutes, the pot was not collected for us, and the next table was all collected. Then we found that the mango was sour and immature read more

We always passed this restaurant on our way home and it was always so busy. We just had to see what the fuss was about! I have never been to a restaurant which delivers your food order soo fast ! I'm not even kidding too. We were so surprised. Our waitress took our order through an app? And then we got all our food and drink in less than 6 minutes. This place was so packed and busy too so it was impressive. There is nothing bad to say about our experience. Everything from the service to the quality of food, there was nothing to falter it. Everything was so yummy and the way that Thai food was supposed to be. The pricing of everything is so affordable too. Dishes are of good quantities that you can easily share between 2 people, and are under $20. I have to say, as a tip: you're best off trying to get there before dinner rush because there was a line of people as we were heading out even after the 8:30 mark. All in all, I'd go back to try everything else, and it would be a place I'd order takeaway from on a weekly basis! Great Thai place :) read more

Arrive early to avoid a long wait time. When we visit Home Thai, we try to arrive around 5:30 to beat the dinner crowd. The food is authentic and delicious. It is quite spicy, so be aware. We always order several dishes to share and have sampled almost the entire menu over several visits. I love the concept of the open kitchen. You especially have a great bird's eye view from the second floor. Be aware, they will not split checks and they charge a surcharge for using a credit card. I find the staff to be rather rude at times and language appears to be a barrier. We virtually have to beg for water refills. They bring out a small pitcher that only fills our 5 small cups once. With spicy Thai, I want water readily available. The place is always hot, so dress for that. read more

Food is fine but ONE SERVER IS TERRIBLE And whoever order this drink ( it is coconut rum malibu + coconut milk ) should drink the bottom and top separately ( please do not mix them cuz the taste gonna be abit weird ) And by the way, I wish i could talk to the owner at that time. Everything was good until i mix my drink together and yes they taste weird , so as a bartender, i know how to fix this thing. I simply ask for 2 pieces of LIME . And the lady who took that order look at me and ask again "2 PIECES ? " And replied "Yes " Later on a man brought out 2 Lamb skewers and i told him that it would be a mistake. Then that lady ( she looks asian and her base on her accent I guess she from Thai ) came out , took that plate from the man and put near my face " WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS " she said ( feel like yelling honestly ) MORE IN PICTURE ( couldn't post the whole thing ) read more

Some of my wife's friends introduced me to this amazing place for Thai food. In terms of value for money it cannot be beat. I would gladly pay more money for a meal from here, but I am extremely glad that it is so affordable. The flavours of every dish I had really pop and I really cannot say I was ever disappointed with a menu selection. Even though I love Thai curries, I never had one from here as I have always tried other dishes and been amazed. If it is your first time, and you are a pork belly fan (lets be honest who isn't.... I mean I'm Jewish and I even love the pork belly). This place makes the crispiest one I know of. Sure it may be fatty, but its so damn good. If you don't like it just take home as leftovers, send me an email and I will pick it up from your apartment. But other than that I'd say get a salad (banana flower, papaya, or another as you cannot go wrong), the pork belly, and a few other dishes with some sticky rice and enjoy. To finish up get the first item on the dessert menu. It is some freshly fried dough and a coconut pandan sauce for dipping. Great finish to a great meal. By the way, I'd suggest going in a big group as it is the best way to try lots. read more

Thai with an urbane vibe - place was hopping on a Sunday evening. Careful on the spice - wouldn't come if you don't handle spice well. Their 3-star is more like 5-star at other establishments. Highlights Grilled beef - grilled perfectly and very flavorful Pad khee mao - very spicy, but tasty Lowlights Pork belly soup - very sour and spicy. Didn't find this particularly agreeable with our palates. Service was fairly mediocre. We were nearly inclined to cancel our last dish, which still hadn't arrived when we had nearly finished our meal. Restaurant is bi-level, upstairs feels rather crammed - would recommend seating on the ground level if available. read more

Home Thai is one of my all-time favourites but never thought of reviewing them. I went for lunch and they do have a different menu for dinner. SOFT SHELL CRAB W/ MANGO SALAD (Pu Nim Yum Ma Mhung) The crab is perfectly fried acting as the sweet and delicious protein in its own right. Its combination with the Mango salad just works for me. The balance of sweetness and acidity is just right. Textures did complement each other where the fresh veggies have a mix of soft and crunchy freshness with the fried soft shell crab giving the salad that crouton quality and warmth. STIR FRIED CRISPY PORK BELLY W/ PIK KHING SAUCE ON RICE (Kao Rad Pik Khing Moo Grob) One of my all-time favourites, there's just something about tender pork and crispy crackling that is just so yummy but this dish is much more than that, I would describe it as sensory overload. The oil based sauce that comes with it is full of flavour (good mix for the white rice) and has that heat from the chilli giving that kick. The green beans are not just here as passengers - they are cooked al dente they are just the icing on the cake. Good things have to be consumed in moderation, large servings would probably become sickening for some, a lunch portion that includes rice is just right to share for two. SPICY SOFT BONE PORK SOUP (Tom Saab) Amateurs of beef would love this, it is pure beef soup but seasoned with Thai spices predominantly coriander. Although it looked like a generic Asian noodle soup, It does have its own unique personality and distinctively different from Chinese and Viet flavours that may be weird at first. Yum noodles and ultra tender chunky beef make this dish another alternative to pho this winter. Conclusion Before my first time at Home, I thought that Thai food only consisted of Pad Thai, green curry and Tom Yum flavours. I have no idea whether their dishes are authentic or not, all I can say is that they are all delicious and reasonably priced. The salad is an amazing starter, crispy pork belly is a must-have and the best thing is that both are available on lunch and dinner menus. @thesydneynoob read more

Authentic or not, the food was delicious! I loved the Soft Shell Crab and Mango Salad so much that we ordered a second one after out meal! It had a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and salty flavor. The soft shelled crap was fried to perfection. The Pad Thai was also delicious, although back home I usually order chicken with my Pad Thai, the decision maker of our table ordered beef. There isn't much to write home about the beef and there were pieces left over. The actual Pad Thai was really well made, perfect chewiness and not soggy like some. Chili, peanuts, lemon, and sugar were placed on the side of the noodles for you mix to your taste. The dish also came with a lot if fresh bean sprouts. Fresh spring rolls were done very well, the rice paper skin was soft but firm at the same time, however they do tend to fall apart when picked up. This is a nice light appetizer to share. The Satay chicken was another great dish with large skewers of chicken paired with their satay sauce. Although they were large pieces of chicken breast, it was still not dry and tough. My party also enjoyed the Banana Flower salad, it want my cup of tea but it was pretty fragrant and everyone else loved it. We ordered three types of dessert. Oh we were on a food binge. This was for a party of four mind you. Durian Sticky Rice - the worst dish of the night- super sweet and warm, an odd temperature, I'd stay away from this Mango Sticky Rice was great. Both sticky rice dishes come with three types of sticky rice- pandan, coconut, and a dark colored one (not sure what it was). Fried Breadsticks with Pandan coconut sauce was extremely fresh, we actually saw them dry the breadsticks in their open kitchen upstairs. The bread sticks are similar to donuts but lighter. Even when we were stuffed from dinner we managed to fit these in. Verdict- great Thai place with wonderful flavors!! Must return. Tip- go later in the evening or sit by the windows since it's really stuffy and hot with little ventilation other than the windows upstairs read more

This place has build its self a reputation as one of Sydney's must visit eateries. Walking past on many occasions I couldn't help but be intrigued as to what it offers based on the crowds that lined up outside. It was a Wednesday at approx 7:45 and it took us 45 minutes to get in. With a wait like that your hoping for something special. We got seated, ordered and without much time to blink we got served our food. Papaya Salad , Masaman beef curry and spring rolls. The spring rolls were vegetarian served with a sweet sauce. They were perfect as a starter. The Papaya salad was a combination of pork, peppers , cucumber and gorgeous crunchy crackers on the side. The salad was really good but oh so spicy . Perfect if your ready for it. Recommend having water on the table for this one . So good that despite the heat I kept eating it. The curry was the perfect dish for taking breaks in between the spicy salad. The Masaman beef had big chunks of beef but it was really tasty so worked really well. Just to overindulge opted to try the mango with sweet rice. Tasty dish. The rice was coloured for fun and had a vanilla sauce over it and the mangos were very sweet. Nice dessert. Overall will be back again for sure . Staff were on point with getting people in and out as quickly as possible and the place has a good vibe with food to match . Thumbs up . read more

This is my second favourite casual Thai restaurant in Sydney...I come a lot, and always recommend it over the other casual Thai restaurants. There's always a queue, but you never wait too long. The vibe is hip and the service is pretty good overall if they're not swamped, and you can easily feed two people for $20 each. Their pad thai is a little different than other locations in that you can make it as sweet as you want, since it comes with a side of sugar. Pad see ew and pad khee mao are good, the stir fry pork belly dishes are all delicious, albeit taste somewhat similar...but still good. I love the massaman curry and duck curry as well. Shoot, everything is good! If you can't handle spicy food that well I suggest you ask them to tone it down when you order. read more

I have been back several times since my first visit and the food and service are still worthy of the rating. This place has great food -- my favorite is green chicken curry. Really nice and spiced as I like it! There is always a line. The key is being patient you will get in soon enough. The number of Thai patrons should be a tip off of the quality of the food. Order a beer, if you get a spicy dish you will enjoy it that much more. read more

So, Australia isn't all barbies and beaches - Thai food is massive, and I just had to try some. There was a 20 minute wait when we arrived, and the process was fairly simple; put your name on the list, how many in your party, and take a ticket. It was fairly windy outside, meaning there was a bit of a chill in the air, but the view into the kitchen kept us entertained for the duration of our wait. We were seated upstairs, which was quite cozy, and settled in with some water. The wait to get our order taken was fairly lengthy, hence the 4 stars - I thought the rest was a 5 star experience. Once our order was taken (on an iPad nonetheless) the food came quickly and piping hot. Everything comes at once and, as we later learned, supposed to be eaten 'family style', with everyone sharing their dishes, but you live and you learn! We tucked into a range of items; chicken satay, deep fried beef, pad thai, chicken and coconut soup, sticky rice, green curry, and beef and cashew nuts. The food started coming within moments of us ordering, and not all vegetables - spring onions etc - were completely cooked through, which was slightly disappointing. The chicken and coconut soup was delicious, really creamy and filling, and with just the right amount of spice. Paired with properly sticky rice, with no need for a knife and fork, I was very happy with my Thai experience. read more

I have traveled all over the world as a pilot. Been to Bangkok several times and I can unequivocally assert that Home Thai is THE BEST Thai food anywhere in the world outside of Thailand! Stopped downplaying the expectations of the dozens of people I've taken here - nobody has ever been disappointed. Totally addicted to the Green Curry Chicken and the Pad Thai is fresh and worth a try even if you're tired of having PT in other restaurants. Cannot recommend a restaurant more highly! read more

If I ever come back to Sydney, this place is a must return. The restaurant has a nice ambience, where 2 to 4 people is a reasonable group to seat per table. But, I did see a group of 7, but it was pinched. Many options to choose from the menu. I ordered the vegetable Pad Thai, which came piping hot, right from the wok to my plate steaming hot. My preference as I dislike room temperature food. The first bite was amazing!!!!!!! Flavours were on point and authentic. It was a bit spicy, so if you prefer less spicy, let them know beforehand. We also ordered the chili fried rice with chicken, which comes grounded. So you can barely see the chicken and it was overwhelmingly spicy. Like you were having just the chili for dinner. For those really spicy lovers, you'll really enjoy this dish. For those who want to taste and enjoy this dish, you might want to ask for less spicy beforehand. And, if you need a washroom, go to one before you reach this restaurant. To get to their washroom, you have to step out of the restaurant, go next door, where they'll scan their keycard to get you in, and then go up a set of stairs. Even then, I wasn't sure when was the last time that washroom was cleaned. And, it's shared amongst the people in that building, including another restaurant. read more
