Sa-Ne' Thai Cuisine Sutherland — Restaurant in Sydney

Exquisite Thai Flavors at Sa Ne.

If you're searching for an authentic Thai culinary experience that delights the taste buds, look no further than Sa Ne. This new local gem has quickly become a favorite for Thai food enthusiasts, and after my recent visit, I can confidently say that I'm joining the chorus of satisfied diners.

The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the Massaman Lamb Shanks. From the moment the dish arrived at the table, the rich aroma teased my senses. The lamb shanks were cooked to perfection, incredibly tender, and practically falling off the bone. The delectable blend of Massaman spices infused the meat with a depth of flavor that left me utterly captivated. Accompanied by a fragrant coconut rice, this dish was an absolute delight that I can't wait to savor again.

Next up was the Pad See Ew, and I must say, it was an exemplary rendition of this classic Thai dish. The flavors were expertly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness from the dark soy sauce and a hint of umami from the Chinese broccoli. The chicken was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, and adding a delightful twist to this already remarkable dish. Every bite was a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, making it an absolute pleasure to indulge in.

Throughout my dining experience, the service was attentive, and the ambiance was inviting, contributing to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered helpful recommendations. The warm and cozy interior design added to the welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Sa Ne to anyone seeking an extraordinary Thai dining experience. The Massaman Lamb Shanks and Pad See Ew were the definite stars of the show, with their incredibly tender meat and well-balanced flavors. Whether you're a Thai food aficionado or someone looking to explore new culinary delights, this restaurant will undoubtedly leave you craving for more. I, for one, am already planning my next visit to savor the delightful offerings on their menu.

Update January 2025: We’ve since eaten in the restaurant twice and both times were disappointed with the lack of vegetables, overcooked salmon, a curry which as always was too spicy despite asking for no spice, and coconut rice wasn’t nearly as flavourful as the first time we ate here. I held off from reviewing just in case they were one-offs. But 3 times justifies and update.

Today: The takeaway I ordered was a ‘no spice’ chicken panang with coconut rice. Far too little veg: a few bean sprouts and handful of broccoli, a few thin slices of carrot swimming in liquid. The curry: too spicy, too watery Takeaway tubs under filled coconut rice was ok; not as good as the first time we had it, but better than the previous.

We won’t be returning for the food. Although, the staff are great and their drinks have always been good.

March 2024 (5*): Loved it! First time trying and a great success. Will be back again to try more dishes.

Would recommend (so far): Coconut rice: not too sweet, and could definitely taste the coconut. Vegetable Panang: Really nice penang. I did ask for less spice - it still tasted spicy - but regardless, it was a 'nice' kind of spice i.e. can still taste the food....

It’s been a while since I’ve had Thai food that is this good! The attention to detail for every dish we ordered was spot on. Not only beautifully presented but also complex and delicious flavours. You can easily tell the ingredients, herbs and spices must be of the highest quality - super important for an authentic depth of flavour. I highly rate every dish we tried - the Massaman curry has to be a favourite though. When we dined in we tried the beef, but on a different occasion I had the lamb Massaman takeaway and it was equally as amazing! Also have to mention the staff were very hospitable and the service is top notch. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall incredible night out and was not disappointed at all. So happy to have authentic Thai food on our doorstep at a very reasonable price. 2x entrees 2x mains 2x drinks + rice came to just under $100. Pretty sure you can’t find this quality anywhere else for that price. Please keep up the incredible work and we will...
