SAVOEY Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Sydney

Savoey is a hidden gem in the multitude of Thai restaurants in Sydney. Chic, stylish, intimate. The vibes are all right at Savoey. Creative, delicious Thai dishes that are authentic with a twist. You have to travel to Bangkok to find something of this standard. The signature cocktails are a must try, especially the Thai Tropical with a depth of flavor that’s unexpected (pandan). The Spicy sips has a real chili kick in a citrus, fruity cocktail. Try the Savoey Kao Soi for a texture (soft and crispy noodles) and flavor (sweet, savory, sour and spicy) hit. Make sure there’s a bit of pickled cabbage with each spoonful of curry and noodles. The milk-grilled pork stick is tender melt in mouth. Salt and pepper squid perfectly cooked with a crunchy salty, peppery, spicy outside and a oh-so-tender fresh squid inside. The prawn wild betel leaf wrap is a flavor bomb ready to explode in your mouth! Great background music to chill with the food and drinks. Staff and owner ultra friendly. Multiple visits required to really discover the full menu and what other surprises you will...

I went to the Savoey tonight for dinner and was very disappointed. First I went to order a single Steamed Tapioca Ball as the menu showed that I could order 1 or the full order and I was told they could not do that.

Next I ordered the King Prawn Pad Thai. It came with 2 King Prawns but they were pretty big I suppose. However the noodles were very thin and very narrow, like the kind used in soups, very weird.

I also noticed I did not get any hard tofu as was listed in the menu so I said something to the server. She talked to the cook and he said no it does not come with tofu and I said yes it does, it says so on your menu. So she had a look and apologised and went to order some for me. She was very sincere in her apology.

Well, when the tofu came it was 8 very very tiny pieces. Maybe if I was lucky it was the amount of one usual cube of hard tofu I would normally get elsewhere. It almost felt like I was being treated petulantly by the cook for pointing out that I did not get what was on the menu. I am glad I did not say anything about...

Quiet on a wet sunday night in Sydney. Parking is limited but much better on Victoria Rd than Darlinghurst Rd.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated and looks modern and clean. The food was stunning, we would definitely come back again:

Peking duck pancakes 3/5 - just ok, I had higher hopes for this one Prawn betel leaf 5/5 - nice prawns and salad, we added a little extra chilli for a bit of a kick Salt and pepper calamari 5/5 - really nice crumb and not overcooked. The sauce was a little sweet, but it worked Tofu and veg chilli jam 5/5 - we agreed this is the best we had in a long time Barramundi (pla nung manow) 5/5 - not a large serving but fish was cooked perfectly and you could taste all of its delicate flavours Savoey kao soi 5/5 - generous on the beef rib, mix all up and enjoy, this was probably my favourite dish. The pickled veg and various toppings balanced this dish expertly.

Including 2 rice, the 3 entrees and 3 mains were just the right size. Desserts look good, but we were pretty full.

Thanks...
