Urban Thai Kitchen

It doesn’t matter at which point on the menu you jump in – grilled salmon and green mango salad, spicy northern Thai sausages, masamun curry with slow-cooked lamb shank, sweet and sour pork belly, or sticky rice with Thai egg custard – because you could basically point to something blindfolded and be blown away with whatever you get. Urban Thai Kitchen is a real star on Surry Hills’ Asian dining scene. Found on Cleveland Street just down from Prince Alfred Park, Urban Thai Kitchen is among a relatively small group of Thai eateries around Sydney that successfully balance authenticity, innovation and affordability. The venue is cool, too, with contemporary creative lighting, exposed concrete and some cool kitschy murals creating a cool modern vibe, and it’s a sure-fire spot for first dates as well as a long meal with the whole family – on that note, Urban Thai Kitchen is always humming, so if you want to avoid a long wait then we strongly advise booking a table well in advance.
