Fantastic food, great atmosphere and attentive service! Consistent every time. Thai Pothong would have to be one of the best Thai dining experiences in Sydney.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner on Saturday night. It was very busy but we were seated in the new basement area which was more relaxed. Food, service and atmosphere were excellent.

I haven't been to this restaurant until recently and they placed us at a nice table by the window, service was really fast and efficient and the food was fantastic. We had the Red Curry Duck and Chili Basil Barramundi along with Mojitos and it was a great atmosphere and experience. I would recommend this to anyone checking out the Newtown area.

We went to dinner for my daughter’s 5th birthday. Wait staff made her feel so special! She loved being sung happy birthday and took home presents and balloons from the restaurant. They were very generous. My son has asked to return for his birthday as well! Of course the food was also delicious.

Best Thai food in Sydney. I recommend this as the food is great and the customer service is fantastic. It is a very busy restaurant but you are never kept waiting for long. The food is super fresh and presentation tops. I suggest making a reservation as it gets very busy.

Attentive service, sumptuous food, happy atmosphere. Located near the Newtown Station it is an easy place to meet up with friends. The menu is extensive with something for all diets - meatasuarus, vegetarian and vegan and tastes from fresh and cool to hot and spicy and everything in between. The barramundi salad is especially succulent and good, I have had it many many times and everytime it is a home run.
