Fom the Newtown train station, turn right and go about a block and a half. Restaurant is on the right. I'm telling you this because the fact that the restaurant is so close will be import to you when you get a look at the surrounding area. It's a bit seedy. In the short walk from the train station there... More

Amazing service, extremely polite but friendly, attentive but not in your face. The food is to die for with amazingly delicate miang goong and hard hitting curries, I didn't eat better when in Thailand itself. Perfect for parties and romantic meals alike! I've been coming here for about 8 years and it just keeps getting better. More

This was a nostalgic return to a favourite Sydney restaurant we went to regularly in the late 1990's. Since leaving Sydney for the Gold Coast in 2000 we have managed to return to Thai Pothong on only a couple of occasions - but when we do go back to Sydney we always return to our favourite restaurant. And once again... More

This place did not meet our expectations after all we had heard about it. Ye the portions are generous and the restaurant ambience is good but we still didnt feel we got value for money at this place. It may be a case that it was just a bad day, we may give this place a second chance in the... More

Thai Pothong has a note on it's door indicating that it's now open for dinner (only) on Sunday, in addition to lunch and dinner all other days. I was glad of this as I had heard some good reviews of the restaurant, and found myself in Newtown on Sunday. Thai Potong has a large dining room with lots of seating.... More
