This restaurant used to be TOP notch, pre-Covid. Not sure if they've changed ownership/management/cooks since then but the taste and quality of their food has gone down quite a bit, which why I'm giving them 4/5 stars. I ordered their braised beef in five-spice broth with thin noodles and their beef is still flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. BUT, the five-spice broth was way too sweet (this time around) and the meatballs had a very strange taste to them...almost like they'd gone bad or something. I also ordered their Khao Grapao Gai (stir fry minced chicken) which was supposed to have holy Basil and I was disappointed. It was overly spicy but lacking flavor and their was little to no basil in it. There was not much meat and heavy on the rice. It just was not as good as it used to be even though their prices are a bit higher than your average mom & pop Thai place. Suffice it to say, I will likely not be returning especially when Thai town is but a few blocks away and there are tastier options at a more affordable price point. read more

Such a cute little Jem of a fine as I was walking near Market St I found this place. It smelled fantastic had to stop in. I sat down inside at a table surrounded by hanging plants and such a cool chill vibe. I went with a cold beer and some pad Thai. Service was very fast even though the place was busy. Food was delicious and so affordable. I ate everything... I later regretted not getting another order to go! Fantastic place! read more

Samosorn Thai - Thai Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Heard about the store grand opening on the Chat Thai Facebook page and decided to check it out at the first available opportunity - really wanted to go for day 1 when they were doing $7 for all menu items but couldn't make it out there, a good thing because it was very full. Anyhow, the pricing is very similar to Chat Thai. The only thing different is the place is almost like a typical fast food place where you pay for your food first then, then take a number, then seat yourself anywhere and then they bring out the food to you (which is the only service which is expected). The interior is very well decorated and the water cups have the Chat Thai designs. The food as expected tastes exactly the same as Chat Thai so it delivers on that count. Theres little difference between this and the Galleries Chat Thai (which is order/pay first too), only that this place actually has its own dedicated seating space and fancy water cups - price is about the same. Do go here if you appreciate food but don't really care too much about service other than the basics (my kind of place). read more

Chat Thai is my favourite Thai restaurant in town. However, when I first heard about a "new Chat Thai" opening at the Myer food court, I wasn't too intrigued as this was not the first time that Chat Thai's ventured into a food court; and the quality of food had not been as consistent in their food court shop compared to their actual restaurants. Yet, I was blown away by Samosorn. Must try: pork belly, pad see ew. read more

I don't know what I had. Some noodle dish, that I couldn't pronounce - I just pointed at the picture. And it was delicious. As far as I could tell, it had authentic flavors, but, I don't know what I had. I was walking around this shopping mall in Sydney, as I only brought beach shoes, and my friends wanted to go clubbing. So, the budget for the day, went into buying the stupid shoes. This was a blessing in disguise, as I discovered Samosorn in the same shopping center in which I purchased my over priced, forced-impulse buy shoes. Small, dark, dingy looking place, I suppose it was designed to look like a bunch of food carts. And had some cooked birds hanging in a window - It was these birds that sealed my decision. Service was shit, but hey, food was super reasonable, delicious and the ambience made me think like they were trying to recreate some kind of night market, street fare, experience inside a shopping mall. So, I might have been more bothered, had the service was nice and pleasant. I wish we had mall food like this in the States... read more

I circled the Pitt street food court a couple times before going for this place. Something about this place was different from all the other offerings in the court and it was pulling me in. They made a really good attempt at making you feel like you were not in a mall, but a restaurant in Thailand. I had the Padt Tom Yum Egg noodles with chicken and spicy and sour curry paste (number 5 on the menu) and a Singha beer. I thought it was very good. I have to give them props just on the ambience alone and how they eschewed fluorescent lights! So the noodle dish was spicy and fresh, and the beer was cold. So if you are at the mall, but want to feel like you're not at the mall, go here. But, they only take cash. read more

I have been meaning to try Samosorn Thai since it opened but there is always such a long line but today, there was actually no line so this was my chance. It's owned by the same owner as Chat Thai in Westfield, Haymarket and Galleries but slightly different in terms of menu offerings. I ordered the duck dry noodle which has always been one of my favourites at Chat Thai Galleries but have been disappointed in recent times due to the inconsistency in terms of flavour and amount of food. But this dish at Samosorn was actually decent and delicious as when I first had it at Chat Thai. My colleague had the green curry with chicken, which he said was quite authentic in terms of taste. What I liked about this place was that they give you a number and they bring your food and drink out to you. The duck noodle arrived quite fast and when I was wondering when the green curry would arrive, one of the girls actually asked if I had a problem with my order and when I told her I was just waiting for the green curry, she said it just takes a little longer to cook. The fact that she actually cared was actually good service in my books. Anyways, I will definitely go back again but like I said about Galleries Chat Thai, I really hope that the quality of the food and service doesn't deteriorate as times goes by here at Samosorn. read more

An outpost of the Chat Thai empire of goodness, Samosorn is one of my go to food places in Pitt St Mall. Channeling a Thai market vibe in the midst of the Myers food court is no easy task, but Chat Thai succeeds with aplomb. I particularly enjoy their pad thai, which has a gorgeous balance of flavours. If with a friend, the shared platter is great value. read more

Came in the post lunch rush on a weekday...all of the staff seemed very confused and not very friendly or helpful. The food was good but not the best, the beef curry just had huge chunks of beef in a pretty liquidity less thick curry with no vegetables. Would probably only come here if I was really craving Thai for lunch and worked in the area. It's also CA$H ONLY! read more

The food here is by no doubt totally authentic. I love the combination of spice and herbs they use. Everybody's pallet is different so it would be hard to recommend any dish. The food brings me back to the country without being there. Service is great and the atmosphere is nice. read more

This place has nice decors, tables and chairs. And that's it, that's all the good stuff I have to say about this restaurant. Fail #1: When we arrive at the restaurant, there was only one unoccupied table in front. No one was sitting there but there was a bottle on the table so we were not sure if it really was available. A waitress approached us and she took off the bottle from the table so we can sit down, only to realise a minute later that someone else had already taken the table. The waitresses should know which tables are occupied and not occupied. Fail #2: When I was ordering, the girl at the counter had a hard time understanding what I was saying. As someone who always communicates with the customers, the person at the counter should have at least above average English skills. Fail #3: When my food arrived, which was the braised pork with thin rice noodles soup, I was surprised to see that the decent sized bowl was only filled halfway through. It tastes okay but it's definitely not worth $12.90. I left the restaurant still feeling hungry. Fail #4: When I asked a waitress if we could get glasses of water, she just gave me a blank stare and nodded. Assuming she didn't understand me like her other workmates, I looked at her and waited if she's really going to give us water. Sure enough, she didn't understand me and just went on to do something else. I just had to find the water and get it myself. If she wasn't sure what I just told her, she should've just asked me again...or if she did understand me, she could've just told me that the water is self service. I'm the type of person who is patient and understanding about waitresses and anyone who works at customer service as I work at customer service as well, but this one was really frustrating and unforgettable. The food isn't worth the money and the staff needs more training! read more
