    LOVED it! Went twice during a short trip to Sydney and it was just so good. Has the betel leaf appetizer, tom yum and beef massamun both times. Beautiful presentation and delish. I will say that they are not so good with modifications to the menu I prefer mostly broth in my tom yum and mostly gravy in my curry. In the US, restaurants love me because they get to save on meat. Here they acted like they completely understood but the dishes always came out like the menu photo. Lol. It's all good. The beef is delectable and the soup is beautiful.

    Wow this place really does live up to its name! The lay-out of this restaurant is really nice and clean and the service was great. We ordered spicy beef for entree, green chicken curry and crispy chilli chicken and WOAH was it spicy!! I love love love my spicy food and am always craving more spice. All our dishes said they were medium spice but they were wayyyy spicy than I expected. Don't get me wrong, the food was really good but just a warning is that it is very hot! We took some home for the next day and the curry was even better the next day.

    Roast duck massaman curry. Spicy but delicious with that crispy duck skin...

    Fast service, professional chef, good atmosphere. The roast duck massaman curry - oh ma God - so good! It's different and I don't even like spicy food, but I smashed that dish. Only $1 difference from normal beef massaman. So, totally recommend. Though, in general the prices are a bit overpriced. You can work it out by ordering some unique dishes tho as there are plenty of selections, so it makes it worth the price.

    Food was pretty good - massive selection which always frightens me a bit as tough to keep ingredients fresh with so many options. I digress - food was solid, service was terrible. Unfortunately just a clear lack of interest in the guests. Regardless, if takeout is available I would definitely go that route.

    I'll be honest, despite being one of my fave restaurants we've tried in Surry Hills, Bodega sort of turned me off to pork belly.

Towards the front the tables are rather crowded together but one step up going towards the back it's more spacious. Their menu is rather complete even with a selection of 5 different rice preparations including a turmeric or black sesame infused. They also have 8 Chef Specials and 5 Duck Specials in their listing along with various seafood and curry dishes. As they seem to handle some take out you'll find people coming and going and for whatever reason the wait staff seems to get involved, so service tends to rather goofy. As for the quality of the food and what I had, I'd say basic Thai, rather good but I didn't have anything that I would consider to be of particular note or exceptional. They note that there food is prepared medium in heat unless you request spicy; however beware of those tiny little red chili peppers. The prices are reasonable and I found it to be a comfortable place to eat especially as I had a window view of Macleay Street which is really good for a Potts Point people watching.

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.
