    This is Thai with a sandwich flavor. Not literally (because, ew) but numerically. There is Thai food here and there are sandwiches. And banana bread. And fruit juices. And my God, it works. Kuk Thai is not made for the idle person. There's seating but it's sparse (there are enough seats for about six people) and the others come and go. And come and go. And come and go. It could be Central Station in here (perhaps more Chatswood). I always sit because I want to savor. I get the Pad Gra Pao (chili, basil, garlic and capsicum) with chicken and brown rice (what a delicacy that has proven to be in Sydney) and it is phenomenal. Really fresh and really collourful and really tasty. The Pad Kee Mao noodles with chicken are also a stand-out. If you want a sandwich you're also in luck. They have everything you would expect from a sandwich bar and it's cheap. Juices here also look great. One other thing you need to do. Go for the lunch special. $10.90 for a meal and drink.

    I ordered The Yellow Curry for take-away but when I opened it, I only saw literally one slice of potato. For $15.60 Full-Serve, one should expect good serving. The chicken strips were thinly sliced that you can really sense the stinginess in their serving. Very disappointing and I would never recommend this restaurant at all.

    Excellent take-away and delivery. I would strongly recommend Kukthai over Eat Thai.

    "Treat your special lady to a special cocktail"…read more So says the sign above the men's urinal. Curious... The food here isn't in the same ballpark as the many great Thai places I frequent. I expect spicy heat and despite ordering that it delivered almost none. The two mains we ordered (duck and pork) had no love, they were presented poorly and contained little flair. The entrees however were quite well done. The prawn pastry shells, and the betel scallop were both tasty. The accompanying refreshments had good variety however they were also expensive. The ambience is pleasant, and the wait staff are friendly yet struggle slightly with the language barrier. With the bill topping $100 for 2 (nothing extravagant ordered) you can see why I won't be heading back anytime soon. In closing I would like to share a personal message from my companion, which read: "Hey Dan !!! The one ? Pleasent for eating many Friendship apopse" ... kinda sums it all up really :)

The staff are very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Peking duck pancakes and chicken san choy bow - probably the only reason this place is not getting a 5 is that the duck pancakes did not have enough sauce. For mains we went with two of the special options being the chicken yellow curry and the crispy pork belly - both were delicious and had the right amount of spice. These dishes with rice and two beers came to $87. The restaurant has seating options that would work well for both groups and couples - if in a group I would book ahead. Parking can be a bit of an issue in the area but you will find one aslong as you are willing to walk.

This was…read morethe first place I got quickie takeout from after landing in town both last year and this year and it will be the last thing I eat before I leave. It's probably actually my favorite restaurant of any kind in Sydney. Nestled between a clock shop and an adult video (? or something ?) store on Oxford Street, this restaurant offers classic Thai staples in hearty portion sizes for prices well below what they probably should be. It's nothing fancy, but they are always quick to bring out water, happy to accommodate your BYO option for the meal, and the décor inside is bright colored walls with tasteful scattered plants, posters, mirrors and dimly lit candles on tables which provide just the right amount of ambiance to make it feel special for an evening date. They are usually pretty busy and can be packed at lunchtime, but they do a swift takeout order if need be. This place is good enough and the staff are so friendly, I don't even mind coming to eat lunch here by myself once in a while. My favorites are the curry puffs as a starter and the red curry chicken as a main. My partner loves the lad nar with tofu and vegetables. I also recommend the spring rolls or fish cakes as starters, tom kha gai as a soup will do for a main too, or any of the basics like fried rice, pad kee mow, or pad thai as mains. The dishes range from $10-12 roughly, based on the meat you select. I haven't had anything thus far that I didn't like, and most of it I found to be simply delectable. I leave stuffed every time, feeling like I probably shouldn't have finished the last few bites but I can't help myself.

It has recently undergone renovations but still in traditional theming. I've been many times and the Pho is amazing, very authentic. This time, however, I was with a colleague and her young son so we had child friendly food - fresh friend spring rolls, chicken with cashew nuts and mushrooms (the owner was kind to add vegetables for me for no extra cost), and crispy chicken, moist chicken with a crispy skin, side of oyster sauce and rice. All very tasty, very fresh and quickly served. Probably one of the best restaurants in Waverley. Not too expensive either.

It's small so definitely need to book for dinner, but usually fine to call a couple of hours in advance. Service is warm and attentive without being overwhelming. The decor is like walking into their family room, pictures on ledges, a lucky cat, magazine rack.. But don't be fooled - the food is fantastic. My top recommendations are definitely the pho (beef noodle soup with fresh herbs), whole deep fried fish with fish sauce, lemongrass, lemon and chili sauce, the fresh pork & prawn rolls and the chicken salad. But that's because we use it as our 'guilt-free' healthy dinner option (maybe except for the whole, fried fish, though it's surprisingly non-greasy). But the caramelised fish and the hot pots are lovely as well. BYO and take away are an added bonus. Try it and it'll become a staple!
