Khon Thai

Best Known For

Soft-shell crab curry with mixed vegetables and a side of steamed rice.

Authentic Thai fare and fresh produce are what you’ll find on the plate at Khon Thai on Dawn Fraser Avenue at Sydney Olympic Park. This modern, light-filled restaurant rocks a vibe of subway tiles, glowing Edison bulb lighting and dark wood table settings indoors, while the alfresco area is the place to be on balmy days, people-watching with a glass of wine. Entrées such as deep-fried salt and pepper squid and sweet chilli sauce never disappoint, or satay chicken tenderloins with peanut sauce; move onto mains of honey lemon duck on a bed of steamed mixed vegetables with jasmine rice. Perhaps massaman beef curry with coconut milk, potato, cashews, tamarind and palm sugar hits the mark, or chicken pad Thai with rice noodles stir-fried with peanuts, bean sprouts, garlic chives, tofu and egg.
