The menu changes on a regular basis, to reflect seasonal produce using both local and organic growers wherever possible - serving up coastal cool alfresco vibes.

• Thai • Chatswood

Booked 5 times today

As soon as Amy Chanta flung open the doors in 1989 Chat Thai became an instant smash hit with Sydney diners already familiar with Thailand and no appetite for compromising on ingredients, flavours, textures and aromas. Searching all across Sydney for the correct vegetables, herbs and sauces Amy was able to set herself apart through a stubborn dedication to reminding diners of their unforgettable food experiences on the streets of Bangkok.Three decades later we are proud to continue Amy’s vision by adding organic vegetables from Boon Luck Farm to serve up authentic Thai dishes we ourselves want to eat. Unique flavours the Thai diaspora crave from the motherland but struggle to find outside of their own home cooking.

China Diner in Bondi has a new home and it is a vibrant restaurant. It was packed with not an empty seat in the house on New Years evening. Through the huge rush, every single staff member was attentive, extremely polite, very friendly and professional. Big tick for customer service. The drinks menu was extensive and had interesting cocktails. I would recommend the spicy cocktails. The food was of high quality and flavoursome. Our party of 8 chose the banquet both normal and veggie. Delicious food and drink only topped by the terrific level of service. All in all a very pleasant evening. The price was great as well. Good food at a great price. All round excellent value. Well done to the team. Thank you and a Happy New Year!
