When I was but a wee young lad, the concept of getting food from a fast food restaurant was seen as…read morea treat, those days are now long gone. These days, fast food restaurants are only ever used as a device of convenience, as they offer no element of surprise; you know what it's going to taste like before you order. I like to treat myself to a taste sensation every time I dine out, I want to experience a well balanced mix between herbs and spices, not too hot, not too spicy, but each bite should include a little bit of zing. I tried out Thai Torbay Restaurant, and was quite impressed with the flavour rich meals they presented our party. Everyone present was raving about their meals, the value for money received, and how they all expected to make this a culinary regular. Thai Torbay does take-aways too, but it's not fast food, just good food on the move.

Disappointing food, eaten in a lot of Thai restaurants but this has been way off the mark.Friendly…read moreservice that's about it not going there again. The Ka Pao Duck was average at best.

Another great find. Authentic Thai food (upstairs above all the takeaway shops). Friendly service,…read morenicely decorated and an extensive menu to choose from. I always like the sizzling options. Around $20-22 per main. Thought the dessert was impressive for fried bananas and icecream.

Enjoyed our meals throughly and would recommend this restaurant to anyone liking Thai food. Was crowded for a Saturday nite but quite spacious.

This is the closest Thai restaurant to my house but it is not the one I come to most. I think the…read morequality of this food here is slightly (and only slightly) less than elsewhere. I still come here often and dine in with my friends or get takeaway. Last week I got a takeaway chicken Pad Thai that confirmed my suspicions about the food here. It was still quite yummy and the portion was large but it didn't have that wow factor or the mouth watering superiority I always crave. I tasted my friend's garlic chicken dish and thought that was pretty good. So maybe it was a bad night for the old Pad Thai.. who knows. I'm not going to black list this place just yet. I will give it another go, after all it is local and it is affordable.

The dishes certainly were delicious! I don't know what it is about this place that makes me overlook it. Perhaps its the design or layout of the shop or the outside... I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but I can't put my finger on it. So I recommend coming here and trying it for yourself!

Ugh. They either had a one off horrible day of food prep or they have gone WAY downhill.

The small amount of duck in this portion of soup was so overlooked it was withered beyond recognition. BOO!!!
