Top Thai restaurants in Surfers Paradise, Australia

Hands down one of our best dining experiences our family has had at the Gold Coast. The service was delightful with really friendly and attentive staff. The food came out really quickly and was packed full of flavour. If you can I would recommend trying to sit outside to make the most of the view onto surfers Paradise beach. If you can't, indoor seating is lovely as well. The place is family friendly with an extensive menu for everyone.

4.5

The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant has a great vibe. The service could have a tiny bit of improvement - When our server brought our food, she just sat it all down on the table and left. We all had to swap the food around. That's not a crisis and isn't enough to make me not go back but it made it a little strange. I'll definitely go back for dinner again.

Wow! Just wow! This was the best Thai food we’ve ever had! We had the Pad Thai and Massaman beef curry and they were phenomenal. We love Thai food and this is going to be hard to beat! Very reasonably priced. 2 cocktails, 2 mains and rice for just over $100, right on the ocean with Fast friendly service. Fantastic!

Wonderful Dinner Experience!

I really enjoyed our dinner here! I had the Pad See Ew and the Nanango Curry, both bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We started with a kingfish entrée, which was fresh and delicious. The cocktail jug was also excellent, adding a nice touch to the meal. The service was great, making it an all-around fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

I heard that this restaurant has a pretty view, so I went there. I arrived earlier than the opening time and asked them if I could take a picture. They were very kind and willing to allow me to take a picture of the scenery before the opening time.
The food was delicious, but it was a little salty to my taste, but the coconut paradise was so delicious.
If I have a chance, I would like to visit again!
Cheers!

We visited here in mid-September 2024, and we tried the Chicken Pad Thai and the Veggie Tofu Fried Rice, and both dishes were delightful. The Pad Thai had an outstanding balance of flavours, with tender chicken and fresh toppings like bean sprouts and green onions, complemented by a zesty lemon wedge. The Veggie Tofu Fried Rice was a hearty and colourful dish, filled with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked tofu, making it a wholesome choice. Both dishes were well-seasoned, fresh, and satisfying. I would recommend it for a light, tasty meal! Both dishes were well seasoned.

If you’re a Thai fan, this will change Thai food for you forever. The bar has been set very high. Every single dish we ordered was quick, presentation was amazing and most of all the flavours and food quality was unmatched. We have definitely found our new Thai spot! The cocktails are also really well presented, delicious and quick to arrive! The staff were super attentive and really on their A-game with everything from start to finish! We will be back!!

Service was 5/5 and location and view was nice. Heater near us was nice. Thai restaurants are always going to be compared and compared to my local...this was good, but not sensational. One thing that really surprised me was the size of my $24 rice....see photo....that is small!!! Satay chicken was nice but again not sensational. I guess I now realise I'm blessed with my local. But I will still come back one day...but let's increase the size of the rice...please.

We ordered spicy deep-fried whole barramundi garnished with various vegetables, spicy stir-fried chicken garnished with various vegetables, Thai omelette with minced meat, Pad thai, pineapple rice, and fried roasted pork with seasonal green.
We l9ve Thai cuisine. But, we were quite disappointed with the food here. We felt the thai dishes here were overrated.
The deep-fried barramundi and the stir-fried chicken breast were overcooked that both the fish meat and chicken meat became tough and acerbic. Lots of mixed vegetables garnished that dish, but too much that covered the original taste of the dish. The pad thai and pineapple rice were okay only.
Among all the dishes, the thai omelette was the best. In fact, we ordered two serves.

A must visit when in the GC - delicious food and wonderful service. We ended up coming here 3 nights in a row for dinner and loved everything we had - highly recommended for a nice halal meal with family and friends.

Amazing food, good price, good quality and quick service ! Absolute must for Thai food 🥘 lovers! Ambience is super good 😊! Recommendations for dinner! Best place for a noisy date !

Amazing Thai food, service was fairly quick to be seated, but was really busy so we waited about 20-30 minutes for the food. But the restaurant was packed. They were happy to remove the egg for me for the pad see ew.
Good location just across from IGA and close to tram.

We go to Gold coast every year and we always go here for our very first dinner!! 😭💖 Such an amazing place with really impressive Thai culture atmosphere, even the staff are wearing really nice traditional clothes. Very close to the nice hotels, just within walking distance.

The food is absolutely amazing!!!!! Lots of veggies and meat in a portion, a lot of options and the decorations are nice. 💖

Prices are affordable and food comes out really quick. We will come back definitely!! 💯

Wow, wow and triple wow. This was the most amazing Thai food I’ve ever had. High quality, extremely helpful staff and quick service. He vibe was amazing and we ate till our hearts content. Will definitely be going back when we return to Surfers. Do yourself a favour and give them a shot. Plus halal certified for all the Muslims out there!

Have to give this a 5 star rating…. So authentic I thought I was back in Thailand. Love the fact you can have as a level of spice ‘chef hot’ 🌶️ they nailed every dish and loved the experience …. I especially loved the curry puffs!

I love Thai food but unfortunately this did not taste like authentic Thai food. Very flavourless. The chicken skewers were very hard thin & dry. The omelette portion size was very small only half the container & I got vegetarian omelette so for the price I expected a decent serving size. The rice is so expensive also & tastes like nothing. Extremely disappointing wouldn't return. Everything on the menu is expensive & the 3 dishes I tried were not good at all. The restaurant looks nice & the staff were nice. I paid $60 for 1 entree, rice & omelette takeaways which included a 10% discount.

It was so good that we had to go back again! Staff there were friendly and accommodating. The second night, we didn't book, but I recommend it because it fills up very quickly at dinner service. We were just lucky on the second night.

The food was delicious and big servings. Normally some Thai food I have had at other restaurants have been oily but none of the dishes here were.
The service was good.
We requested a cart booth. It was really cute.
Bookings are recommended.

Always great food here been coming for years. It’s a mix of indoor and outdoor eating and the outdoor can be quite hot for Thai food. Service is fast and prices are reasonable. My only complaint is that table size they will sit four on a tiny round table and there is barely room for the food to share or drinks. They have huge very heavy carved chairs which look great but aren’t practical can barely move the m to get in and out. But we are here for food and the food is great so I’ll be back.

My family and I enjoyed a delicious meal here. The green curry prawns with steamed rice were flavorful and satisfying. The chicken satay skewers were tender and paired well with the rich peanut sauce. To top it off, we got a free soft serve from their new place next door. It was a chai soft serve that was creamy and refreshing. They also offered us a complimentary bubble tea of our choice, because we had to wait a bit for the soft serve. It was a generous gesture and the bubble tea was amazing. I highly recommend this place for a great dining experience.

We walked in without a reservation, and thankfully, they squeezed us in! It was bustling with energy, a testament to their delicious food.

We dove straight into the panang curry, and let me tell you, it was a revelation! Rich, creamy, and bursting with fragrant spices, it's easily the best I've had for some time.

Everything else on the table was equally fantastic – fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We couldn't fault a single dish!

I highly recommend making a reservation to avoid a wait.

As a connoisseur of Thai cuisine, I recently visited this restaurant, drawn by its reputation for serving authentic Thai dishes. The experience was a blend of delightful surprises and unexpected disappointments.

The food, undoubtedly, is the highlight. Each dish is a testament to the rich flavors and spices characteristic of Thai cuisine. The Pad Thai is perfectly balanced, with a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and savory notes, while the Tom Yum soup bursts with a spicy tang that tantalizes the taste buds. The ingredients are fresh, and each dish is artfully presented, showcasing the care and skill of the chefs.

However, there were aspects that marred the overall experience. The most notable was the surprising additional charges for basic amenities. Being charged for tap water and hot service felt unreasonable and left a sour taste. This practice, uncommon in most dining establishments, seemed at odds with the otherwise excellent service and quality offered.

In conclusion, this place delivers an authentic Thai dining experience with its delectable food and enchanting ambiance. However, the unexpected charges for basic services are a letdown and something potential patrons should be aware of. Despite this, the restaurant remains a worthy destination for those seeking the true flavors of Thailand.

I like the taste of the food. I have tried the restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, and it was a great trial. We ordered rice noodles with chicken meduim spicy (pad Thai) and flat noodles with chicken (Pad Si- Ew).
Pad Thai was so spicy I may order mild next time😄. The portion per dish is big, so it might be enough for two people not starving.

1st timer, it was fine. Nice environment, good food, portion is big can share and the food is sure tasty n satisfying. My entire family feel full and satisfied. Good for families. Tom yum soup & the fried chicken must try!! shiok..

Awesome food, good serving size. Definitely check this place out if you haven’t already 10/10

Entrees OK. Mains way too sweet! That much sugar is unnecessary and inauthentic. Also, you should be using thigh meat not dry, tasteless breast in your chicken dishes.

First time getting Thai food here.. spent $44 on 1 curry, 1 sml coconut rice & entree of curry puffs & a ginger beer soft drink here. Got a prawn penang curry, sml coconut rice & the curry puffs. The prawns were not fresh or maybe just way overcooked chewy & very dried out & not many prawns for size of the curry & price $24. Coconut rice was slightly undercooked hard in the middle but tasty. The curry puffs just passed but the pasty was very average & the filling was a little bland full of sweetcorn skins not the soft melt in your mouth type of puffs. The sauce on the curry, the restaurant atmosphere & service by staff was really amazing though. Would return if the food standard was a little better. Had takeout to test the food out. Great that it's open Monday's as Chevron Island pretty much shuts down every Monday which is not good for a tourist location.

The food is good, but not great, which unfortunately brings this place down. I would still recommend to fill your Thai good needs but its not one I would go back to. Thai curry, Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup (small) in pic.

Some of the worst Thai food I've ever had. Food was not fresh, and mostly bland. Had the chilli basil chicken, phad Thai, soft shell crab with sesame sauce and the seafood Thai fried rice.

The chilli basil had one piece of basil and was mostly bland.
Phad Thai was laughable and a gloopy mess of noodles.
Soft shell crab was just fried beyond taste and the sesame sauce looks like it had been dumped on to the fried crab from an empty bottle.
Fried rice was also gloopy and just bland.

Staff and service were lovely but honestly not even God above could save the terrible food.

The food is so tasty!!! All the dishes I ordered including beef with cashew sauce and pad thai were well seasoned and flavourful. Love their coconut rice. Def recommend this restaurant!

Horrible beef soup. Not only was there only 6 small pieces of meat, it wasn't even cooked properly. Chewy and tasted off. I couldn't eat it and walked out.
Shame because I've had pleasant experiences here in the past. The serving size has reduced dramatically and the staff are bordering on rude.
Basically got charged $13 for a bowl of 2 minute noodles.
Very disappointing.

Nice mixed entree. Papaya Salad taste average and it should be dry. Green Duck Curry taste average and too watery. Pad Thai have no flavour. Will come back and try other dish!
