On our way back from Jervis Bay to Young, my husband and I decided to stop by Banthai in Goulburn, as we were craving Thai food. We’re so glad we did! This place absolutely made our trip. We ordered the Jungle Curry, Basil Chicken, and Chicken Wings, and each dish was fantastic. The flavors were so authentic and delicious, and the portions were generous. Their $15 meal deal, which includes a complimentary drink, is unbeatable. You’d be hard-pressed to find such great food at this price anywhere else in Australia. On top of the amazing food, the customer service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and fast. We left completely satisfied and can’t recommend Banthai enough to anyone passing through Goulburn. Definitely a hidden gem for Thai food lovers!
The best Thai ever had! This was beyond my expectations! Had quite a few dishes and all were delicious. The satay chicken was perfect and the massadan beef was so tasty and again perfect! The stir fry rice so genuine. Highly impressed!
We were visiting Goulburn and found this restaurant. Chose it from reviews. All the Thai restaurants in the local area had similar ratings, but chose this one, because the most people had rated it. It did not disappoint. This place is bustling and no wonder. Penang chicken curry and barbecue beef- yum! Generous serves and so tasty. Thanks, chef x Large space ,thank goodness, as we had no booking but they found us a table. Lovely staff. Takeaway bags flew out through the kitchen hatch at a rate of knots. On leaving, saw people waiting outside for a table. Good timing, great food♥️.
THE best Tom yum soup that I’ve ever had! Bursting with tangy flavours, so well-balanced, and the entree size was chock full of protein with three prawns, mushrooms, accompanied with sliced spring onion and a half tomato. The Tom Kha soup was brimming with chicken, and delicious. We finished with ginger, mushrooms, veggies and chicken- again, beautifully balanced so the ginger could be tasted without overpowering the other flavours of the seasonal al dente vegetables and chicken pieces. We wish we could take you back to Melbourne with us 😀😋. Very warm and welcoming service. We highly recommend an authentic Thai meal here!
A great mom-and-pop shop with hearty Thai food. Lovely food, very fast service and fair prices, especially considering the size of the meals. Definitely a great place to stop on travel between Canberra and Sydney. Strongly recommend (especially if you’re trying to eat something healthier than Maccas!)!!
Just had dinner here for the first time and was very impressed! Quite busy particularly for a Tuesday night which just goes to show how popular it is. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly- like being greeted by an old friend. Food came out very quickly, was tasty and great portion sizes. Will definitely eat here again.
I visited this restaurant twice during my time in Goulburn. I could not recommend it highly enough. The food was fresh, delicious and arrived quickly. If you are in Goulburn, this is definitely a must visit location.
What a find! We dined here for lunch on a Tuesday, and I was surprised at busy it was! The service was friendly and fast, and the food also came out quickly. We ordered the Pad se ew, and the crispy pork. Both were so delicious! The prices are also very reasonable. A top quality Thai restaurant.
Pleasantly surprised by this gem in Goulburn! I'll admit I had low expectations, but the Thai food here was genuinely good. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. Our server was incredibly patient and helpful when we explained we didn't want any sweet flavors in our dishes and requested extra spicy - they took the time to guide us through the menu and made sure we got exactly what we were looking for. The spice level was spot on! Service was very efficient throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend and will be back next time I'm in the area.
Went in for a Laksa because we saw good reviews. Yep, it was excellent, thick soup, packet with flavour, and only proper Thai ingredients. The fish cakes and Goon Yang (prawn) entree were great too. We asked for a Prik Nam Pla (not on menu) and it was no problem. I'll be back.
