We went there for a friend's birthday. It was our first patronage and we were all blown away by how attentive the waiters and waitresses were.nnWe chose from the top sellers rather than the banquet menu. Banquet menu is probably more value worth but would miss the popular dishes. For reference, our orders for 5pp: Popular Mix, Soft Shell Crab with Curry Powder Sauce, Morning Glory Seasonal, Thai Herbal Barramundi, Tom Yum Prawn Soup, Coconut Seafood, Jasmine rice, Amber Emerald Veil andnGolden Pandan Delight. All were great and sufficient for 5. I would probably swap the desserts from Amber Emerald Veil andnGolden Pandan Delight to the Mango Sticky Rice and Black Sticky Rice with Custard or ice cream options though.nnIn terms of service, the restaurant was certainly attentive - the waiters and waitresses will look after the guests in the food and water refills. They gave a complimentary gift, took photos of the celebration party and emailed the recipient the next day.nnOverall, great experience even though the price is on the higher end comparatively.
Thai Pothong in Newtown is a wonderful restaurant and one of the nicest places to enjoy authentic Thai cuisine. The restaurant itself is very spacious, beautifully decorated with traditional Thai-inspired décor, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more enjoyable.nnWe started with the Tom Yum prawn soup, which was good but I felt the consistency I was thick and more like curry feel rather than the soup. The fresh prawns and button mushrooms were of excellent quality and made the soup truly satisfying. The Beef Chilli Basil with steamed rice was another standout dish. The beef was exceptionally tender and of excellent quality, cooked perfectly and bursting with flavour. It is definitely a must-try.nnThe staff were friendly, attentive and efficient throughout our visit, and the restaurant was spotless and very well maintained, reflecting their high standards of cleanliness.nnThe only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the pricing. While the food quality, ambiance and overall dining experience are excellent, I found the menu to be on the expensive side and not the best value for money. That said, if you’re looking for authentic Thai food in a beautiful setting with great service, Thai Pothong is certainly worth a visit.
We went to the Pop-up at Newtown station, and and it was amazing. The Beef Noodle Soup was insane. The braised beef was so so soft, and the beef? balls were perfect. You pick up the braised beef, and it falls off your fork, it's so soft. The soup was really flavourful too, but not overly so. The noodle and veggies just perfected the dish. Honestly, it's the best soup dish I've ever had in my life. Whoever made this was a wizard. We also got the crispy chicken and rice, and it was just as good. Beautifully crispy, perfectly spiced, and nice big pieces of chilli. Do yourself a favour and go find out for yourself.
Thai Pothong was our go to Thai restaurant decades ago and it was always celebratory. This time around again it was for my born celebration and they surpassed what we were used to. Food was exceptional, excellent and on point for taste. Staff were friendly, accommodating and attentive. Atmosphere is comfortable and set really well. For their 30th anniversary, not many food institution have lasted that long and with our latest experience, they are set to delight us for much longer beyond. We shall return more often this time around.
I have never been to a restaurant with such outstanding service. The food is great and all came out in a timely manner. The staff are so friendly and even went the extra mile to give my partner and I a great experience. This has to be my favourite Thai restaurant in all of Sydney.
