Assamm Thai Eating House - Drummoyne

After my favorite Thai restaurant in Sydney closed, leaving me without its delicious Pad Siew, I spent two years searching for a replacement. Finally, I discovered Assamm-Thai in the QVB basement in Sydney's CBD. When the waitress brought me my Pad Siew, I couldn't contain my joy. The dish was just right - not too oily, plenty of seafood, and the perfect noodle thickness. The chef clearly knows Thai street cuisine. I resisted the urge to hug him and instead decided to become a regular customer. While the menu offers other dishes and desserts, my heart was set on Pad Siew. I paired it with a pot of Green Tea. QVB is easily accessible by bus, train, and foot, and soon, by tram. The building also offers accessible toilets.

Simple food, well prepared and presented Authentic Thai food with beautifully balanced flavours and textures

Fresh ingredients, delicious flavors, inexpensive lunch for a central CBD restaurant. The service is quick and a great location to meet for lunch with friends.

Loved the food, the staff, the space, and was surprisingly cheap! We had two mains with rice, an entree and a beer for under $50

Raced in and ordered some chicken satay with peanut sauce followed by Tom Yum fried rice with prawns. Both were served quickly and were outstanding. Satay is satay and I find it's usually good but these were just that bit better.....tender and full of flavour with lots of sauce. The fried rice was next level and with plenty of prawns. Highly recommended.
