We went to Sky Thai on our first night on the Northern Beaches. We heard good things and Sky Thai mostly lived up to it.
1) The service was super friendly and they accommodate BYOB and happily provide wine glasses
2) the menu offered good variety so there was definitely something for everyone
3) the pineapple cashew nut fried rice with chicken that I ordered was very good. It wasn't spicy but the juice from the pineapple provided some flavor depth. if anything it was bland but after my experience at other Asian restaurants in Sydney where even the no-chili powder request leads to a fire in my mouth the food from Sky Thai was very welcoming.
4) on the negative side their Chicken Satay wasn't very good and appeared to be deep fried rather than cooked on an open flame as is traditional. on the plus side though the peanut sauce on top was top notch and hit the flavor notes from the best places I've tried in Singapore and Malaysia.
5) they're cash only, but are solving that within the next 30 days. read more
