Thai food without the flavour - and no interest in fixing it. We visited Mashuri Thai expecting bright, bold Thai flavours, but left pretty disappointed. The quality of the ingredients was actually good, but the execution in the kitchen let everything down. The dishes were bland and felt "Anglo-sized," lacking the depth and balance you'd normally expect from Thai cooking. The waitress was lovely and tried her best, but when I asked if the kitchen could add a bit of curry paste or anything to bring some life to the soup, the response was simply, "that's how we make it." After 30 years in the F&B industry and having reviewed everything from local fish shops to Michelin-star restaurants, that kind of customer experience left me stunned. The waitress did try to salvage the situation by bringing a bowl of fresh chillies, but it didn't fix the core issue. When it came time to pay, I was told we'd still be charged full price for a meal I couldn't eat because it lacked flavour. My partner's dish also missed the vibrant, aromatic punch that defines Thai food. The only thing they nailed was the coconut rice, which honestly tasted like it came straight out of a pre-prepared packet from a supplier. There are too many good places in the area to take this kind of gamble. Do yourself a favour and head to the Indian restaurant or Fins next door instead. This one is just not worth the hit and miss. read more

Best traditional authentic Thai I've ever tasted! I'm from Sydney and have eaten a Thai all my life. Mahsuri is on par, if not more tastier than most Sydney Thai restaurants. I ordered their Tom Yum Soup and Massaman Curry with coconut rice and was so impressed, the flavours are spot on, so tasty! read more

Situated in Salt Village this gem has both indoor and a sheltered outdoor dining space. Being a crowded Saturday, we thought it best to pop in that afternoon to make a booking. We were advised they were booked out but that we could be accommodated near the kitchen which we were happy to do. We arrived at 7pm to find the place buzzing & the hostess offered us a lovely secluded table in the outdoor space, stating she would do some shuffling to avoid us sitting inside. The table was promptly cleared and our drinks arrived quickly. They have a comprehensive and reasonable wine list with a good selection of cocktails too. We ordered coconut prawns followed by the classic green curry chicken & combo Pad Thai and we were not disappointed. Portions were generous and flavoursome - without the "fillers" like giant chunks of onion or capsicum. The restaurant was full but we didn't have to wait for our meal and didn't feel rushed to leave either. The outdoor space was stylish with a funky light fitting and giant bunch of lilies in the centre of the room. A great spot for a casual holiday meal. read more

See all

When we got take away we waited over 50 mins. No apology from owner or staff. They knew and just ignored us. Not good enough. Disgusting service. read more

DON'T DO IT !!! overpriced, badly presented by smelly, rude waiter. We went to Mantra last night to try out a new restaurant and unfortunately we picked Mahsuri Thai, I suppose we should have guessed by the absence of table clothes and the lack of hygiene by the waiter. To be fair the entrée was okay, vegetarian spring rolls (hard to make badly) so that was the one star because we can't give no star on the system. We had to wait for over an hour for the main meal and when it got to us it was disgusting for want of a better word; the stir fried vegetables were not properly cooked and the tofu was presented cut in rectangular blocks slopped on top with no flavour seriously no flavour at all, my meal was a panang curry with, you guessed it flavour less blocks of tasteless tofu with gluggy rice. If you could ban a restaurant for being wrong this place is it, YUCK !!! read more

Decent service and good selection of food, great for vegetarians since most dishes can just be tofu and vegetable. The food itself was disappointing though - the chicken hokkien noodle was over-flavoured and the vegetable garlic and pepper stir fry was totally flavourless. read more
