Thainatown, Haymarket

Looking for quick, scrumptious, authentic thai food? Thainatown is THE place to go… Well, Thainatown is one of MY favourite thai places to go to. I give a personal vote to this place having the BEST pad thai I’ve ever had in my life (big call here!). I’ve never been to Thailand so I wouldn’t exactly know what an authentic pad thai is like, however, I’ve been told by some thai people that they too agree the food is quite nice here.

It’s not your regular thai up-town restaurant. Here at Thainatown, it’s all about speed and taste! The food is in front of you within 5-10 minutes of ordering AND the dishes all taste a little better than most other thai places.

If you’re not a huge fan of spicy food, I would recommend you ask about the spicy-ness of your dish before ordering… as I’ve never had a chilli-tasting pad thai before yet it is because of this that makes the pad thai extremely flavoursome and sets itself apart from other thai restaurants.

The chilli flavour of the pad thai is quite intense. It is a little more “saucier” than other pad thai’s that I’ve had, which is why it makes this dish easy to indulge! mmmm!

The pad see ew was also quite saucy. The flat rice noodle was cooked to perfection: soft and chewy.

I’ve probably been here over 20 times and the pad thai never fails me each and every time I order it. =) Can’t wait for the next time I return!

    Pad thai @ Saap Thai (Pitt St) is equally good to Thainatown. Rumour has it that these 2 places got the same owner. Anyway, Thainatown & Saap Thai is my place to get that padthai fix.
