Thai Essence

I'm a fan of Thai food and eaten here before so I thought it would be a good choice. It seems to be common in Sydney that food establishments aren't often busy. Prices were reasonable, i think they may have lowered them. Interior is nice and atmosphere is good. Staff are attentive without being in your face. Service was quick. Food was good. The noodles were way too salty though. I'm not sure what they used but next time it would be better if they used a lot less salt. There wasn't much meat in either of the dishes, so I removed a star for that.

Thai restaurant with rustic decor, friendly service and lots of seating. It wasn't filled when we went even though it was a Saturday night. Out was maybe only about 20% full. We had the chicken satay skewers, which was ok, the duck curry with pineapple and lychee which is normally my fave (aka duck penang curry) at any other Thai place but it was very disappointing here -- soup was way too bland and runny, the banana flower chicken salad which was very tasty -- would definitely recommend -- and the durian black sticky rice which wasn't too sweet and just right. We might come back but not order the duck curry again.

Went there yesterday with some coworkers for a team lunch. The menu consists of very good Thai/Lao food. The service is excellent. Admittedly the restaurant was not busy but I got the impression that service is important even when it is busy. The restaurant itself is well fitted out without being pretentious, I love the wood carvings. In short, A very pleasant experience and I will go back as will all the people I dined with.

The food was decent but the shop owner is rude and unwelcoming. Stopped here for a quick lunch and questioned split bill payment option, she left it up to the waitress to answer questions and didn't even attempt to acknowledge our question. Very rude, doesn't smile and has no customer centre approach. Once again. The food was good but if the owner has zero tolerance to speak to her customers it's hard to disgest my food without bring totally offended. 1 star for the cook/ staff -4 stars for the poor behaviour displayed by the owner/manager.

you guys have reduced your portion after the corona mate. I know it's hard time but I would rather pay more and get the same amount. Because there is expectation from customers when it comes to the food quality and quantity. Quality stays the same which is great but quantity reduced like that? Not good mate. These things need to have consistency. or increase the price if money is issue and provide the same quality quantity food please.

Service and drinks were good. The food is the same as other good Thai restaurants - nothing outlandish. The fried ice cream is better than the standard of other restaurants, but it's not the best. The menu could be updated with better photos of their food, just to increase the appetite more but that's just a nitpick. TLDR; good food with a good atmosphere and nice service, good for all types of customers

standard service and really standard food, we didnt feel welcome from the moment we walk in. limited menu that did not satisfy the palette at all. no knowledge of food and wine pairing aswell, and got our order wrong, and we were the only ones there? i honestly wish i could say better but to be honest i think they just don"t care.
