Newport Thai

Ordered a take away for me and a mate after a long day. Chilli basil stir fry is usually my go to at any thai joint. What happened about 5 bites in was unprecedented. Either the chef is a psychopath or he mistakenly used Birdseye instead of long red chillies as this was Dante’s inferno. I was in physical pain, but so hungry I had to keep eating until about halfway where I physically could not go on and was just sitting there in burning agony. My mate thought it was hilarious and takes himself for a bit of a chilli head so we swapped. 5 mins later and it was no longer hilarious. His meal was delicious it was some kind of barramundi stir fry thing. I will probably give them another go but will most likely stick to pad thai as this experience will stick with me for a while and has caused much psychological trauma.

Hard to believe that Thai cuisine could be so good for so little! Situated in the heart of beautiful Newport Beach, Newport Thai offers an extraordinary range of entres & mains at truly affordable prices. BYO wine( only ) is a real bonus. My favourite? Slow cooked pork shoulder. My god! It’s just wonderful. Service? Personal, engaged & truly friendly. Go there during the week & the place is yours. Just love it!

Absolutely loved the meal I had here tonight. The fish cakes were the best I've had outside of Thailand. They melted in your mouth and the pork belly curry and seafood red curry were delicious. Also it was so nice to sit outside in the courtyard! Highly recommended in fact it's the best Thai food I've had in ages. So glad it's in Newport!
