Food
Fast , student quality , regulation fare. Vegetable content is higher than normal as this is the vegetarian capital of Australia. The pad thai is way too sugary and the prawns are undercooked which is not unusual for for Sydney Thai cuisine. The fish fillets have been dipped in flour before being deep fried( coeliacs beware!).
Chili factor
From mild and sweet to pungently explosive.
Service
Rushed and business like. My Thai companion knew our waitress but her colleague had misplaced her Thai smile until the grey haired farrang ( Mick) started speaking in his pigeon Thai .
Atmosphere
Packed to the rafters and not because of its canteen like ambiance. We had unexpected company in the form of a curious European cockroach perched at eye level on the side wall. He appeared to be a big fan of Thai cuisine.
Parking
Impossible.
Value
$20 for two dishes including a small rice and gets as low as $6 per plate for the lunch time specials.Great for the budget conscious. My companion is here on a student visa . My first choice was Thai Pothong.
Noise
Normal King street racket.
Recommended dishes
Neither of these. Would give it another go if I were in the neighbourhood and Thai Pothong was full.
