Don't be fooled by Siam Samrarn's location, as I feel that in spite of appearances it is quite…read moresimply the best Thai restaurant I've been to in Brisbane. Located in West End, Siam Samrarn shares a complex with a Coles, Gloria Jeans and other decent run of the mill chain stores. Now I know what you're thinking, 'how can this be a great restaurant if it doesn't have it's own building'. Let me reassure you though, Siam Samrarn is a diamond in the rough. The first time I went to Siam Samrarn was with my sister and mother one Thursday evening. All three of us were astounded by the quality of the Thai food as we anticipated something mediocre at best. What we discovered however was the chefs at Siam Samrarn know things that other Thai chefs need to find out because the food was absolutely sensational! In addition, the service staff was extremely hospitable, ensuring that our glasses were always filled as we discussed at length the culinary triumphs that were laid out before us - before inevitably moving on to a drunken analysis of the family, the world and the location of the bathroom. I was so impressed by Siam Samrarn that I decided to have my 21st birthday there. Once again the staff at Siam Samrarn went up and beyond what any of us anticipated. They were able to accommodate 30-40 wine guzzling university drama students, which I imagine is no easy feat. They were even kind enough to let us chat in their restaurant till well past 11, cleaning everything and anything around us before inevitably asking us to move on. I think it has become perfectly clear that I really do consider this restaurant one of Brisbane's best. Siam Samrarn is not only excellent value for money, but also an exciting adventure for any foodie. Ultimately, hospitality for me comes down to the quality of the staff and the employees at Siam Samrarn are gentle, receptive, caring and courteous. Check it out. P.s. take advantage of the BYO and the BWS in the centre. P.p.s. check out the site for the funny music.

Absolutely phenomenal! The most delicious Thai food I've had in a long time…read more We got the panang, massaman, pad Thai, and spring rolls. All were amazing. Zero complaints.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Brisbane. Or Australia. True, it is the only Thai…read morerestaurant I have been to in Australia, but it compares very favorably with Thai restaurants I have been to elsewhere including NYC. The Tom yum soup was excellent. 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.

Breaking my "never give five stars if you've not gone more than once" rule -- because even though…read moreI've only been to Brisbane once, I went to Pochana twice because it was that good! 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.

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!

I was looking for a non-greasy meal and the soup was exactly what I wanted. I didn't bother putting any other additional seasoning. The soup and noodles were light with punctuations of savory flavor provided by the BBQ pork and the won tons. I was immediately attended to and even given a whole jug of ice cold water. I know that doesn't mean much to some people, but I think it is a fine example of good customer service. Other places don't bother to serve you water and don't even care if the water is lukewarm. I was really satisfied with the meal, service, and the restaurant was well presented. I'll be happy to make another visit to sample the other items on the lunch menu.

Very standard dumpling menu but all were a little distinguished from the norm and very good. My favorites were the steamed shrimp dumplings.

Very friendly waiters that were suitably attentive. Three thumbs up!

If you're like me, from a chinese…read moremalaysian background, you will soon learn to recognise that this isn't just a food court chinese takeaway place, it is run by chinese malaysians and they mean business. They keep their wok out back hot and you can taste it in all the dishes they prepare using the wok, from the really yummy and authentically tasting Chow Kuey Teow, to the Combination Laksa, Hokkien Mee, Gon Loh Mee and the Nasi Lemak... they give you chopped chilli as well. My family have been going here for ages, yes even though it's in a food court, it may as well be a restaurant seeing how busy it gets during peak hours, even though there's a chinese stirfry place right next door literally to this place. These people aren't silly... they know where to get the good stuff. These people namely chinese students that are studying at The University of Queensland. I recommend all the above, the actual buffet food is okay too, the curry puffs have always been a favourite of mine. With the meals starting at about $9.90 for a huge plate, you will definetely be back for more.

Instead cast your eyes upward to the menu board for the best Two Wongs have to offer. They do a deliciously authentic 'Nasi Lemak' -- a Malaysian dish which literally mean 'fatty rice'. It's rice cooked in water and coconut milk, served with a mild chicken curry as well as dried anchovies, roasted peanuts, a lively chilli relish and pickled carrots. They've also got a quite good 'Hainanese Chicken Rice' which comes with an undrinkably hot broth, so you might want to ask for an ice cube to cool it down. As for the service, they may never smile at you or utter much other than "What you want?" but if you keep going there long enough, they might start giving you chopsticks instead of a fork. It's then you know that they've welcomed you into their hearts.

I'm okay with that because everywhere else you go namely in the Toowong Village Food Court... not even a restaurant... you will pay $10-$15 for a dish. At least they're still around $10 for a dish here and $8.50 if you're after a rice/noodle. That price sits well in my wallet and considering the: 1) Fast order and turnaround time 2) The cleanliness of the place 3) The friendly and efficient staff and now 4) The stylish new Yelpingly hot look 5) The new dishes they've added to the menu It sits right in my stomach too. The food is always cooked fresh, served hot (i'm a big fan of this) and comes out quickly. The price is pretty right with me, I don't mind spending a few more dollars than before because it's still a pretty nice little situation.
