Chat Thai became an instant smash hit in 1989 when it opened its first restaurant with plenty of heat and authentic Thai dishes. We've since added restaurants in Circular Quay, Westfield Sydney, Neutral Bay, Chatswood and Galeries Victoria, and in 2015 we added organic, fresh produce from our farm in Byron Bay. We look forward to meeting you soon.

This used to be a favourite restaurant in the area. My last two experiences were terrible. On this last occasion, three dishes we'd ordered didn't arrive at all. There was a party of 7 and this meant that three people didn't get a meal before a concert at the opera house - and it's not easy finding other food in a hurry before a concert! We'd enquired about the missing dishes at least three times. On the last enquiry we were told that there'd been a problem with the ordering system and the food hadn't been made. But nobody seemed to really care, nor was there any apparent supervision. The food was also average - my stir fried beef was definitely the worst I've ever had. Not generous, not tasty, hardly any vegetables. Not half as good as any cheap Thai restaurant around Sydney. On a previous occasion, I'd ordered a prawn dish for $33 - there were three prawns, three small prawns! Never again.

This is one of my favourite thai restaurants, the food and service never disapoints no matter to what Chat Thai location you go. If you are looking for something beautiful and yummy that won't break your budget, than this is a wonderful place to go out.

Great place to go, especially if you have a play to catch at the Opera House. Conveniently situated by the trains and Light rail. Food was really tasty, staff very attentive, and the restaurant very busy, it is best to book. We will definitely return there.

I have been to Chat Thai many times, as I like their variety of menu and food quality. Their food are so delicious and authentic. Service is always good. No wonder it is so popular all the time.

Great place. Loved the food and the vibe. Definitely check it out. Unfortunately the servers forgot that I had mentioned it was a birthmark event so we did not get to celebrate that but other than that the experience was nice
