This is the best places to eat in Newtown – genuine Thai food using very fresh ingredients. I like the soft shell crab with green mango, fish soufflé and lamb panang. When we booked the manager offered us secure parking which is an advantage on King Street. This is now my favourite Thai and I am never disappointed by their food or service.

The quality of the food stands out here, one of the more reasonably priced Thai restaurants on King St. A group or couple sharing entrees and the generous mains will only be looking at around $20 a head.

This blog is from a restaurateur’s perspective.There are a lot of restaurant reviewers, critics and foodies who write about restaurants, but how about putting on an apron and getting deep in the heat of the kitchen. Jump into the trenches on a busy Saturday night with a couple of hundred ravenous punters to feed.
