There seems to be a few of these stores franchised around Sydney which fall under the same owners of Thai Riffic and Chopsticks. Even though the decor is very enticing with it's ambient mood lighting and large wooden tables and seating it screams commercial Thai to me for Westerners — everything looks so clean and welcoming. Dishes are served on large plates and are a bit more expensive than your run of the mill Thai restaurants although I thought the entrees were quite reasonably priced. I don't think the overall authenticity can compare to Spice I Am and Chat Thai but these group of restaurants do serve a purpose and it's a pretty nice place for a group of friends to catchup were you won't feel so squashed in. The Marinated Lamb Cutlets were very tasty and the Grilled King Prawns were very large. The Homemade Fish Cakes still looked rather regular in shape but larger than your usual fish cake discs and fairly tasty. The Chicken Strips were quite succulent as advertised on the menu as well. The Thai service was friendly and helpful and dutifully filled our glasses of water throughout the night.

Hehe! I was there on the same night! I get what you mean about the whole westernised Thai thing. I thought that it was a little bit pricey compared to my regular Thai eateries, but the food was not bad. I quite liked the vegetable green curry! How freaky that we were both there on the same night!!
