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!

It is quite popular, but even when there is a line, seating and service is reasonably fast. Meals are usually very flavourful with traditional flavours. I ordered a hot and sour chicken rice dish, one time, that was delivered to the wrong table, when it was remade and delivered to me, it nearly burned my face off. So maybe check about how spicy dishes are. They have a single chilli indicator of hot dishes. I have had other hot dishes there that were nowhere near as hot. Ordering from the lunch time menu usually results in a very fast serving of your meal. They offer alcohol and desserts as well as meals. The menu range is reasonably extensive and includes vegetarian/vegan dishes. I would have scored them a 4 star review if it weren't for the fairly small meal sizes that I have received on occasion. Staff are all friendly and appear to all speak Thai. There is a 3-5 happy hour when there is a set of cheap meals available for $7. Most classic meals are around $16 with more expensive meats or bigger meals up to $22.

After a walkabout around the block at around 8pm when most businesses were closed and options ranged from subway to pie face and pub meals, I chose chilli and spice. The salmon Choo chee curry which I asked to be Thai spicy was spicy the way I like it. Spicy enough without overpowering all the flavours. A massive fillet arrived with some veggies and a thick red curry sauce. For 3 dollars you get a large bowl of rice. The fried banana is an artistic visual masterpiece. Fried banana coated in a golden coconut crumb with mango ice cream was a sweet yet not too sweet dessert. Don't understand the negative reviews. Definitely worth a visit.

The springrolls hot and not at all oily. Red curry and green curry were perfect, if small for American portions, but the Aussies do have a smaller appetite it seems. Fried basil dish was the best of the evening. Cold water arrived frequently, and I filled my smallish water glass many times. Don't be surprised, Aussies, when you go to America and find half liter sized water glasses at your table. This is an excellent restaurant for thin Americans or anyone seeking authentic Thai dinner.

The pad kee mao was a bit spicier than we were expecting, but I think our spice tolerance rose as we ate it. If I had to pick, I would say that I enjoyed the pad kee mao more than the curry. All of the veggies and flavors in it were really good. I also had a delicious white wine from Tasmania. Our servers were all very polite and friendly. They quickly brought new jugs of water when our's ran out. Our food also came pretty quickly. We sat at one of the tables outdoors, which was nice. Having just come from winter on the east coast of the US, it felt so good to be out and enjoying the warmth. The view from the outdoor seating is of lush grass and trees. After our meal, it was nice to stroll through South Bank because it is a cool part of Brisbane. Overall, I definitely recommend going to Siam South Bank if you are looking for a good meal in Brisbane. It is a great option if you are already in South Bank, and just a short walk if you are in CBD.

A first in our lives. They were very good, not the best I have had but up there. The duck slices seemed to have been fried(maybe not) and that was a first also. We split the 6 between the 2 of us and were happy. The Hoisin sauce was awesome. - Pan Fried Pork and Coriander Gyozas served with a soy/vinegar dipping sauce and another sauce that is normally reserved for veggie rolls but was pretty good on the gyozas. Some of the best of the trip. Perfect little browning on the dumplings and the pork had a great taste. Food 4.5/5 Highly recommend.

I really loved the decor inside, everything seemed authentic and looked very well put together. We did have a large round table which really didn't give much room around us but we appreciated the fact they accommodated our large group as best as they could. My dad and I ordered the pork spring rolls to begin, they were so good! Don't know what was so good and different about them but I could've eaten lots more. We all ordered our own mains with the intention of sharing between us all. I don't remember the exact name of my dish but it was #37 which was a lamb stir fry. I didn't even want to share it was that good, cooked and seasoned to perfection. I tried a few different curries that were at the table and can't say one bad thing about any of them. Our servers were quick and polite, although not fluent in English. We brought a cake for my grandma which she didn't know about, the waitress was nice enough to keep it in the kitchen for us and brought it out with the candle lit when we asked. Overall I enjoyed this experience as a first-timer, however, the plates that were brought out with our cake were not very clean. This really upset my dad, there was rice on 97% of the dessert plates. I didn't consider it a huge deal but it was a bit odd. They do charge $6 for corkage! BYO wine only. I am looking forward to the next time I get to go here!

We've always had to book and the centre where the actual restaurant is gets super busy at night, so it's tough to get a park. So book early... because if you don't book you just might be staring through the window or waiting a very long time. The prices here are on the expensive side with although if you have 4 or more people it's $30 for a banquet and they are very reasonable. Let's get this straight. You go to a Thai restaurant and you order the Pad Thai. The one here is magnificent. The ingredients finely chopped, good amounts of noodle and filling and the sauce compliments everything addictively, so you just want to eat more. It's probably a good thing that this dish always fills you up if you have it by itself and for $18.90 you'd really want it to. Also try the Pad Num Mun Hoi with beef (bamboo shoots, mushrooms and shallots) because it's delicately seasoned and very yummy with some coconut rice. This restaurant is pretty, it's got Thai ornaments all over the joint and the staff wear traditionaly Thai outfits to serve. It's a great taste to go on a first or second or third date.

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!

As far as cheap Chinatown asian that delivers on quality, Thai Wi-Rat has got to be right up there…read more Whilst it is generally a tad dearer than most other places around, the quality and authenticity of the food is pretty unparalleled. Despite the fact that it's exclusively counter service, and the fitout is tacky and garish, the food really does speak for itself. Over many visits, I've sampled a wide spread of their dishes, with my favourites being the penang curry, the sai grog e san (a zany little sausage full of flavour) and the pad thai which always pleases. The best thing about this place is that it's BYO (I think technically wine only but the number of times I've bought beers here and have had no issues is many) so it's an ideal stop in for dinner when heading out in the valley, or as a destination in itself. Definitely a must for anybody that would describe themselves as even a mild fan of Thai cuisine.
