Express Thai Noodle Hut - North Willoughby — Restaurant in Sydney

All good things eventually come to an end. We’ve been loyal customers for 20+ years, but our recent order was a severe disappointment. Under the new management, what used to be restaurant quality Thai food (expensive but generous portions, enough for two) has been replaced by smaller servings and noticeably lower quality: Seafood noodle soup - menu describes “thick rice noodles with seafood”, but we received 80 cent instant noodles with a few pieces of seafood. Instant noodles in an $18.50 Thai dish (photo attached) and the taste was unpleasant Massaman beef - portion too small for one person, and the small tub was mostly watery sauce Pad See Ew – very small amount of chicken, almost no egg, and the flavour was nothing like the rich, authentic taste it used to have.

Been going there since 1996- they closed down maybe 97/98 for a while to refurbish - when they opened that Sat night - there were queues for 100 meters!. This place has a "cult" following.

Go there - take your first date there - you will have an amazing...

Huge disappointment. Myself & family have been eating here for 20 plus years, tonight 23/8 my wife & I ate in, ordered our usual only to be served up something that was completely different, my stir fried beef with chilli & basil was in fact stir fried onions with some other veggies maybe cabbage, not really sure, my wife ordered stir fried beef & oyster sauce, again pretty much no beef no oyster sauce & some weird glupey tasteless sauce. Also noticed all the food prep windows all covered up almost hiding something. I suspect a change in ownership, sorry to say won’t be returning. A big shout out to the previous owners who did such a fantastic job, also to the friendly staff who...
