We had lunch at the Larna Thai on a very miserable wet afternoon but our mood was certainly lifted by the excellent food and attentive, courteous service. Our table had a severe case of "the wobbles" and, without us having to ask, the problem was noted and we very kindly directed to another table by the window. The prices are... More

The restaurant itself decor wise is abit dated but nicely presented. The food was very average, as regular Thai food eaters we were disappointed at the quality & presentation. The young girl waitress was not interested in making conversation with us and after a couple of attempts we gave up. Would not recommend sorry More

In my opinion Larna Thai is among one of the top thai restaurants in Newcastle. I love the caramelised pork. You never wake up in the middle of the night with dry mouth from too much salt, as I have experienced with other Thai restaurants in Newcastle. Good value for money, nice service and good location.

I booked for a saturday night and had to leave a message, they returned my call for the booking as soon as they got to the restaurant I gather which was fantastic. I requested that we sat inside as I was cautious about the weather. When we turned up our table was outside, there was a lack of ambience outside... More

No flavour of any strong, fresh ingredients for which Thai is known. There was also a strong hint of frozen, bland vegetables. Will not return. Average service and dull atmosphere. Very disapointing all round! Much better Thai in Newcastle available. More

A cute little place, nice interior and great customer service! About as cheap as a dinner at the pub. For two mains and an entree to share it cost around $50. The mains were big servings and very tasty, so dont order a huge entre! We got the mixed to share. Overall very impressed! More
