Chao Praya Thai Restaurant

"Just came back from there now , 4 of us ate there for somewhere different. The worst Thai I've ever eaten. Asked for Crispy pork belly stir fry noodles. When the waitress came with pork strips and stir fry noodles , I explained to her what I ordered. She gave me an annoyed look . Came back 5 mins later with 3 pieces of pork belly on top of the pork strips . We spent good money tonight for slop. I really wish I checked the reviews on here beforehand. If you want good quality , go to Thairiffic across the road , better servings , pleasant staff , good tasting food. All 4 of us left Chao Praya annoyed. Definitely won't be coming back ever"

"Best option for thai food in The Spot area. Portions sizes were great and pricing was reasonable. Pineapple fried rice nws the red duck curry were standout. Food also came out quickly. @lucaseatsbig on instagram for more"

"Quick service. Food smelled so good and delicious. The portion for the deep fried soft shell crab could be bigger for the price charged. Other than that all was good."

"A local Thai restaurant at The Spot at Randwick serving classic thai dishes. They have good value lunch special at $9.9 or a lunch set $12.5 where you choose a meats, fried rice/Curry rice or Thai noodles with a entree and a soft drinks. Food was alright here but probably not spicy and salty enough for me. Otherwise it's a great place to dine if you work around the area."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Well made and tasty enough for a Thai person (me) not to complain. The dishes we ordered: tofu basil and chilli stir fry, green curry chicken, Thai papaya salad, barramundi fillet tom yum stir fry, noodles chili basil stir fry and mince chicken salad (laab gai). Hands-down, the best dish of the night that I ordered was the barramundi dish, which was YUM, but the portion could be a few pieces more for the price. The fish was perfect, the seasoning was just right amount of chillies (I would have asked for it to be extra spicy, but have to consider my colleagues). Laab gai was nice (again, I could have used more chillies and lemon). The other dishes were good, no complains from me. What was inedible for me was the som tum Thai (Thai papaya salad). It was way too sweet, and drenched in sugary syrup. It should not have been like that. Neither was the papaya 'bruised' enough in the mortar to absorb the seasoning. The service was lovely. Also when I start speaking Thai with them, they were extra helpful, and was able to accommodate a colleague that had severe food allergies and made special dish for her. All the servers were attentive and very friendly, only see them when the table needs clearing or water refilled. We never had to go searching for them. We were all seated at the back section (party of 11), it got quite noisy as there were several large parties there as well. Overall, I would definitely come back to Chao Praya again, only next time, I will ask for extra chillies and spices be added to the dish that needed it. Well done."
