Thano Khosan

One of the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand! If you're in the CBD and would like a delicious Thai meal come and try this place on 413 Pitt St near the corner of Goulburn St. You can't miss it the shop front is set up with various sweet and savory Thai snacks. Service and atmosphere is terrific it will definitely take you back to Bangkok. We ordered pineapple fried rice served in a hollowed out ripe pineapple, soft shell crab, barbecue chicken and green curry with duck. All up it cost $120 for 3people. Well worth it and definitely worth coming back to.

Upon entering the restaurant, the sight of almost every seat occupied initially seemed promising—a potential indicator of the establishment's popularity and quality. With anticipation, I explored the extensive menu and ultimately decided on the red duck curry paired with a side of sticky rice. The coconut cream and curry paste melded well, and the accompanying vegetables were skillfully prepared. However, the dining experience took a downturn with the duck. Instead of the expected duck breast, my plate contained pieces riddled with cartilage, rendering them overcooked and chewy. The unmistakable pre-cooked flavor suggested a lack of freshness, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the dish. To compound matters, the sticky rice arrived steaming in a plastic bag. Instantly, concerns about potential health hazards and environmental impact surfaced—conjuring images of plastic melting or releasing harmful chemicals when exposed to high heat. This, coupled with the negative ecological connotation, left a palpable discomfort. Regrettably, these factors prompted a deduction of 2 stars from my rating: one for the unconventional presentation of rice in a plastic bag and another for the subpar quality of the duck—overcooked, lacking freshness, and burdened with cartilage. While the service was commendable and the staff friendly, the $32 price tag for a plate featuring these portion sizes seemed disproportionate, especially when compared to other establishments offering more satisfying alternatives, much better quality and cheaper. In conclusion, the dining experience was underwhelming, and I have no plans to return anytime soon.

We had a lovely dinner accompanied by live music. The restaurant was still full even we came after 8pm. Service was friendly and fast. We had prawn tomyum, papaya salad, fish floss with mango salad, chicken wings and two steam rice. The food was delicious. The ambiance was relaxing and we really enjoying our dining moment especially listening to the singer with his guitar. He has a good voice. We spent $90 for all those food, without drink or dessert cuz we were too full.
