Thai Chada — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Thai Chada is a fairly typical suburban Thai. The food is probably better than most of the local Thai places I've been to, and the prices are decent. There's a nice little patio area out the front where you can sit at tables in the breeze. Because Thai Chada is tucked away in the Grange there's a pleasant, local vibe and not much traffic around so the patio tables aren't subject to lots of traffic whooshing past which means you can easily have a conversation and enjoy your food.

I think the thing that I like best about Thai Chada is how dedicated the staff are.

Coconut rice and noodle dishes were way too sugary and it has funny texture. In the curry they probably didn't wash veges throughly so curry tasted like...

Most people have a local Thai restaurant, some good some bad, but we were pleased to discover ours is much better than average. Dinner with friends at Thai Chada on Saturday night was a great local experience. Attentive helpful service didn't mind us taking half an hour to chat and catch up before ordering. We had BYO white, so out came an ice bucket straight away. Our selection of starters were hot and delicious. For shared mains the winner was "Fish on Fire" - fried white fish with sweet chilli sauce, but all mains were tasty and generous.
