If you're looking for a special Thai restaurant in Brisbane look no further than Betong! This place…read morewas phenomenal!!! If you want Sunnybank level Asian food without the attitude, this is the place for you. Since the restaurant is quite new in Portside it wasn't very full, however I do expect this place to become more popular as time goes by. The first thing I noticed about the restaurant was the wonderful decor, it was stylish and modern with slight oriental influences. The food was fantastic, no other way to put it. It was like Thai food in Bangkok but less spicy (though you can ask them to spice up the food for a more authentic experience). I had also ordered a lemon lime and bitters (which they made from scratch) it was awesome! The gold star for me though was the super attentive service, water was consistently refilled in everyone's glasses and we were asked how everything was. It was a wonderful night and I can proudly say that this place is my favourite Thai place in the city! P.S the chilli basil fried rice is a must!

If you've got $20 to splash out on some Thai food go give the friendly folks at Thai Ways a crack…read more I've been there with friends a couple of times before hitting the town and it's been right on the money. Personal favourites of mine of mine for starters (if they have any) are the Crystal Balls or stuffed chicken wings. Mains I usually attack any of their massamam curries or the tom yum soup. The staff are always around and looking to serve you and fill up your water. Another great thing about Thai Ways is that it is BYO and the closest bottle shop is about ten meters down the street. The food is pretty simple, not totally authentic as far as other Thai restaurants around Brisbane but that probably helps in keeping the prices down. That and its an absolute pleasure to dine there. I recommend it to everyone.

I got there just after 15 minutes and I was actually late. I didn't have to wait. I ordered the green curry, coconut prawns, drunken noodle, basil chicken and fried rice. They all tasted great. So far this is the best food joint I have visited in Albion and 4011 post code region combined. The food wasn't bland, it had full of favors and the serving size was excellent. Definitely would be back for another takeaway and eat in (decorations are amazing).

I wasn't super hungry the first night I went, so I just had chicken satay. The chicken was tender and the sauce probably the best I've ever had. The next time I went I had pad see ew with chicken -- with this dish, the chicken can sometimes get dry; again, the chicken at Pochana was tender and the sauce delicious. Elizabeth Street, where Pochana is located, is basically restaurant after restaurant -- so there are many choices and options. But if I return to Brisbane, I would go to Pochana again over a new restaurant if given the choice.

Found this place, walked in and noticed there were lots of locals meaning that it will be good. We ordered amazing gyozas which had great sauce. Im not sure what the beef dish we had was called but it was gluten free and also amazing. It had a salad that came with it and their sauce also good. Whenever you are in a place you have never been you taking a chance whatever you choose to eat. This place was a great find. Highly recommend!

My brother and I went to Baan Thai one night after a long day moving house. We wanted to eat…read moresomewhere nice to reward ourselves for the day, but also somewhere casual enough for us to relax after a sweaty day moving. Baan Thai was exactly what we were looking for. The restaurant has a lovely interior and a paved, outdoor eating area with umbrellas. The table beside us was occupied by a foursome of indie kids on their way to the valley and the guys weren't wearing shoes. So this place is fancy enough to dress nicely, but casual enough to go shoeless! We rocked up pretty late, at around 8:45pm, but the staff were welcoming and let us stay until 9:30pm. That said, they did accidentally switch the lights off while we were eating, but it was fair enough considering we were sitting in on their pack up time. The food is perfect, but a little pricey for me, with most mains ranging from $15-$20. We got the red duck curry ($18.50) and Som Tamm salad (carrot, cabbage, and dried shrimp). The salad was packed with chilli, so be warned if you've got a delicate palate! Lunch hours: Baan Thai is open for lunch on Monday - Fridays, from 12-2pm.

With such a close proximity to those surrounding me, I couldn't imagine what it would be like eating in there in summer. We are seated quickly and orders taken. No less than five minutes have gone by and our entrees of chicken satays skewers are served. They're succulent to eat and the sauce is one of the best I have tasted in a while. I really can't concentrate on anything else. With the volume ever increasing whist more people are seated its difficult to have a conversation without potentially ruining my vocal chords. Yes that is an exaggeration but not to far from the truth. Just like how quickly our main meals arrive at our table. If there's one thing to praise Thai Kitchen for, it's definitely the urgency to get orders out. I don't think we've gone more than five minutes without food. I get into my (beef) Gang Massaman and my friend starts on his (duck) Gang Ped Yang. Mid way through the meal we sample the others dish and come to two conclusions. The first is that both dishes are pretty damn fly and the second is that the sauces for both dishes kind of taste the same. It's weird. When the last grain of rice and final drop of sauce has been consumed a waiter is there to swiftly take up our plates, offer deserts (which we decline) and pour us waters. We pay our bill and walk away feeling like we've just been efficiently fed processed and set free.

I wouldn't recommend eating in at Thai Kitchen because the premises is very cramped and noisy, but for takeaway it's perfect. I always phone in and place my order and it's usually ready to be picked up in about twenty minutes. They're very accommodating about customising your meal and are happy to leave meat or seafood out of dishes for vegetarians. They alway ask if you want your meal mild, medium, or hot so if you're not a chilli fan you don't have to worry. I wish their kitchen stayed open later, though, because even though they're open until 9:30, last orders are at 8:15. I love their vegetarian red curry and vegetarian pad thai, and my meat-eating friends recommend the thai beef salad and duck curry. It's reasonably priced, friendly, and delicious and obviously has a loyal following since it's still going after so long. There's short-term parking on the street out the front so you can dash in and grab your order, and if you want to eat in there's parking out the back. Thai Kitchen is much better than your average suburban thai place, and whenever I feel like thai I don't even think twice about where to go.

Despite ordering at 7pm on a Friday night, the food only took 15 minutes to make. They were pretty full when we arrived to pick it up. There's seats inside and a couple of seats outside, and there's parking around the back. It's in a pretty busy location, so there's not always street parking out the front. One of the highlight dishes was from the specials menu - PraRam Chicken ($14.90), Satay chicken served with stir-fried vegetables, with peanut sauce and topped with cashew nuts. I haven't had this dish anywhere else before - it was a brilliant mix of Pad Med Mamuang (Chicken Cashewnut) and Satay.
