We ordered pan fried chive dumplings, a pad thai and coffee duck. It took 15 minutes for the chive dumplings to come out and they didn't resemble anything like dumplings, nor were they pan fried, instead deep fried. It took another 45 minutes for the duck to come out and the pad thai to follow 5 minutes later. Looked great... More

Went here based on other reviews read on Trip Advisor and have to say that it lives up to all expectations! Started off with the chicken satays (had four instead of the usual entree 3 as we were sharing - a great suggestion offered by the waiter) - these were so tasty. My husband had the Larp Duck which he... More

Had dinner at Nu Thai for hubby's birthday with a few friends. Chose the restaurant based on Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The service was fantastic, all the wait staff were friendly, engaging & helpful. We ordered the Tom Yum soup for the entree (just a tip, it's huge!) and it was delicious! My husband sees himself...

We had the pleasure of enjoying a night at Nu Thai for Chinese New Year - a large group of us shared a table outside and we had a very enjoyable evening. The food was great - every person was satisfied with the dishes served. The quality and quantity of the food was spot on. The service was friendly and... More

Always a toss up when in Gouger street to go to Nu's or Star of Siam, both being brilliant......on this particular evening we chose Nu's. Wow, wow, wow. Fall more in love with the food with each and every visit. Restaurant can get pretty squashy and busy so make sure you book ahead. And make sure you try the specials,... More

My only problem with this restaurant is the level of noise. Unfortunately many popular Restaurants have this problem. They should install sound absorbing materials to reduce the level of ambient noise so one can hear conversations.

This restaurant really does deserve all the good reviews and great rewards. The service is amazing, they offered table water without us having to ask for any and refilled glasses, were just so friendly and always smiling. The two of us had one spicy beef dish and some soaked noodles. Both was of very high quality and tasted excellent. Prices... More

Service is great - cant get here as often as we would like to. It is cosy and the value is awesome - good wine selection and caters to everyone . Discovered this gem by accident and always recommend to friends!

Being a lover of Thai food, I was highly looking forward to eating at this place, reading the reviews on this site and in my Lonely Planet guide. I was very pleased, in fact, this exceeded my expectations. I just had to try the Crispy Barramundi in Chili Sauce, a dish you'll never find in Thai restaraunts in the States.... More

The food and service was pretty average. Ordered Fish Cake for entree, duck curry, pad thai, chicken basil for main. Nice presentation but very standard foods. Cannot recall any good things about them. You will be disapointed if you aim for authentic thai food.
