Top Thai restaurants in Newcastle, Australia

We have been dining here for years as a group, since they opened. Tonight was so bad we will not return. The waitress had difficulty dealing with the menu, however we overcame that with giving her assistance. She needs glasses poor woman and chef our of control..The food was simply terrible. Dim Sum was cold and totally collapsed. We sent it back and received an identical dish 8 minutes later ; think they just recycled!
My companion complained, in a very gentile manner to the long term employee who often cooks (not tonight unfortunately) and he was just disinterested. The remainder of our dishes were very ordinary. Masamman curry overcooked and had to hunt for the noodles with Pad See Ew which are cheap. Will not return

Just visiting Newcastle for work and I happened to walk past this restaurant while thinking of what to get for dinner. A young family were eating outside and their food looked so good I stopped and ordered pad see ew take-away for dinner tonight. I’m eating it as I write this review, and it is so yum! It’s one of my favourite dishes that I always get and they are usually delicious no matter where I buy it from. This one however has so much flavour and it has such a great ratio of meat, noodle and veg (I got beef). Will definitely order it again when I come back to Newy. The only thing I would change would be to add a slice of lemon that I could squeeze over it but that would only add to it. Not having it doesn’t take anything away from the food. Much appreciated!!!!

Really nice Thai food. Generous on the meat portions, flavours great, good service in store. Open late which was nice, since there doesn't seem to be a lot of other options. But glad we came here

Had a lovely lunch here during the new year - Decent food, good vibes.

Friend took us there , it was an unexpected surprise, it was very Thai. The green curry bibimbap is top-notch, the soft-shell crab is crispy and smothered in one bite and the stir-fried pork belly vegetable also great with rice , but the deep fried barramundi and egg fried rice are a bit average. The environment is good, the seats are quite spacious, and the service is always there when you ask for it. Because they are too busy , when we paid the bill, waited for a while .The most important thing in the end is that the price/performance ratio is unbeatable. Highly recommended.

MUST GET- chili basil roasted Duck and sweet chilli basil chicken. Couldn’t stop nibbling on all of them, portions were great too. We also ordered green curry which was amazing. The duck blew my mind away though. Amazing chewy flavour and texture the gravy which the duck came in was good as well.

The fried squid and crispy pork with rice were delicious.
Great service mind

The food was generally enjoyable, though there were lingering odors coming from the kitchen. Despite this, the restaurant had an overall pleasant, unpretentious atmosphere.

Wow, what amazing food!!! We love Thai but this place has amazing flavours. The chicken skewers were smothered with peanut sauce which was awesome and the pork belly has one of the best daises I’ve tasted.

Yummy Thai food in the heart of CBD. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. They can prepare most of the items on the menu vegan. The drinks were amazing too.

MUST GET- Royal Siam curry beef, pineapple fried rice, roast duck curry. Couldn’t stop nibbling on all of them, portions were great too. My mates loved the green curry but I wasn’t too big a fan (too coconut-y in flavor). Was agreed the pad Thai wasn’t the best- too sweet & starchy. Overall we paid $26 each between 5 for 5 dishes + medium coconut rice. Thai milk tea was yummy but $7.50 each.

I thought the dining and food experience was almost reaching average.

Why would any restaurant with 7 tables hold tables for reservations whilst customers waiting to dine and disadvantaged.
The only table service you review is when you’re served your food whilst you’re paying a higher price to pay prior to eating your selected menu items.

I felt that the food we received was average with flavour, common dish presentations and a clean restaurant.

I had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall positive vibe. The food was decent, although it was westernised-Thai which is understandable given the difficulty in finding certain ingredients. The prices were reasonable and appropriate for the quality of food.

However, I felt that the restaurant ambiance was a bit overwhelming with a menu that was a bit too saturated and descriptions that were not very relevant to the dishes. The restaurant's name suggests a focus on Northern-style cooking, but the menu seemed quite basic and not very representative of this cuisine. Despite this, I still enjoyed my meal and the service.

One suggestion I have is for the man behind the counter to improve his personality a bit.😉

Overall, it was a decent experience, and I would recommend this restaurant to others looking for a casual dining experience.

Thank you for the best Thai food in Newcastle! You guys rock! It's the small touches that make your dishes stand out above all; such as scallops in your mixed seafood, the inclusion of pepper berries, fresh chillies and fresh Thai basil ❤️

Felt like the food was average. The duck dish was pricey considering it was salty / not saucy enough. Rice was gluggy (maybe a bad day). Service too slow (30 mins for dish to come out). No table water offered. Cigarette smoke coming from outside entire time (aren't there laws where you're meant to be 4m away from the food?). Wouldn't come back

It was public holiday when we had dinner here outdoor.
And as it was located close to our accomodation, we could see a long queue every day at its door.

Regarding the food, I have nothing to say but so tasty and good amount of portion. And my starts goes to food only, but I will explain why. We all know giving full stars to a restaurant is not only about the food.

Regarding the outdoor furniture, as the walk side had a slope, it made the sitting on the chairs too uncomfortable, I left there with a backache unfortunately.

Dinner ware, the side plates, all came in different pattern, shape and model, and I could see it on all the tables around us. It’s out of a standard for a restaurant.

Also regarding the staff and how they were doing, First I want to thank them for their hardworking, and it was totaly understandable that they were trying their best to host and serve the people fast, but it coulnt justify it that they were running all the time between kitchen and the tables with full hands of few plates and drinks. It’s not professional at all and puts stress on customers as well.

Hope they can manage those 3 mentioned items soon so people can enjoy their time more than before while eating there :)

Absolutely loved this restaurant. It was our first time and we enjoyed all the food we ordered. The cost was very reasonable and the service was wonderful. They were very accommodating when I asked if we could sit outside as the weather was perfect (I had booked a table inside as I didn't know what the weather would be like on the day). Overall, we loved it and can't wait to return (although we do live an hour away). We'll just have to make the effort.

Food was freaking nice! Price is really reasonable, every dish has its own unique taste. The squid dish was nice but felt they should add more squid, green curry was great and really enjoyed that, the pork was good in both price and portion. Water is free and refillable.

The starters were fairly standard. The coconut prawns were a little dry, but the satay chicken was fairly good.

Had a chilli basil stir fry for the main which was pretty good.

Staff were very attentive and assisted with special request of a side of fried rice noodles.

Really tasty food. Service was efficient although dine-in space is quite limited. Definitely try the curry and we loved the Thai omellete.

We will be visiting this place again, food was so good and portions were really generous.
They accomadated for us and our baby which was nice.
Good service, friendly people and just all round good experience.

I have been to Larnna Thai for million times, it’s absolutely my favourite Thai Restaurant in Newcastle. Food provided in generous portion, dedicated plating, lots of healthy and balanced dishes available on the menu, great service all the time. They have the best authentic Tom yum soup (usually places have very light texture or made straight from paste) and pad Thai is also highly recommend. They made everything from scratch, even like prawn crackers and the entrees, definitely worth trying!

Amazing food. This is an awsome Thai restaurant. Family friendly and great atmosphere. Thank you to the staff and chef. Awesone service. Definitely will be back again when we visit Newcastle.

Tasty food, and attentive and friendly staff.
We had the #2 banquet, and it was great! The entre soup was so flavoursome, and the mixed entres were tasty. For the mains, the curries were great...particularly the massaman beef
The meat was so tender it just fell apart! Dessert for that banquet was just sliced apple and grapes, but that's honestly all we needed after all the mains. We took a doggy bag home of the extras!
