The wife and i dined here tonight. It was so delicious. The restuarant itself is pretty funky with a big budda sitting in the middle. Restuarant was very full , however service was 10/10. The big open kitchen is filled with an army of chefs . The size and quality of the food was very tasty and generous. 2 entrees... More

Nothing we ate tasted anything like Malaysian food. It was a place to be seen, not a place to experience good food. More

First impressions were good - helpful staff, lovely smell, happy buddha. Good outside table, but with a tupperware water jug, rickety table and melamine setting, and very subdued candle lighting. Chinta tofu and roti - spot on; generous and spicy. 1/2 duck with rice - juicy and crispy, big duck "special" duck - inedible due to the over-reduced thick black... More

I have been here twice in the past month and haven't been disappointed. The food is always fresh and the staff are friendly. They also do takeaway if you're staying in a hotel nearby (which I was this time) The beef rendang is extremely tasty (was a tiny bit dry this time but was fine after mixing it up with... More

Most definatly not impressed with this place. It was like going to your local chinese restaurant with melamine plates and rickety chairs. The food was not anything special and the price reflected the location. Would not go back. More

You will be amazed when you first walk in this restaurant. Trust me. And the food is nice too. Try the roti with curry, or the Ayam Ria. They are delicious! More

Our favourite restaurant in Sydney, located on the podium level above Cockle Bay wharf, Darling Harbour. Lovely views over darling Harbour, especially at night. Decor is Thai temple-ish, with an impressively large Buddha just inside the entrance. Best place to ea6 is on the terrace outside. The menu is excellent - an excellent range of Asian fusion food - and... More

Sydney has more Thai restaurants than anyone knows, so it's tough competition out there. Chinta Ria is a cool place to be and eat, and while the food is tasty, there is much better Thai out there. More
