Sea Sand Thai — Restaurant in Sydney

A great little Thai restaurant facing Maroubra Beach! They were bustling with takeaways but the wait time for food was still fine for us dining in. We waited 15-20 minutes and then all 4 dishes came out at once - pretty good!

Beef massaman curry with roti ($19.9) - with chunky pieces of good quality beef brisket (lean but tender) and potatoes. The curry itself was tasty but had comparatively a little less depth of flavour than the best places.

Grandma's pork belly ($19.9) - chunky deep-fried unctuous pork belly cubes in a sweet sauce with crushed peanuts in it. Bit sweet for my liking.

Chilli basil noodle with veggies and tofu ($14.9) - good basil flavour, and a decent char on the flat rice noodles. Only thing would be that there wasn't much tofu (4 pieces?).

Sweet chilli barramundi ($29.9) - highlight of the meal! Huge portion - a whole barramundi with battered meaty chunks of fish and love that it's served with the fish bones and head (we're definitely game!). The battering on the fish was like KFC (in a good way) - perfectly crunchy, not greasy, doused in a sweet and tangy sauce (think I could taste fish sauce) and topped off with fried basil. Very good.

Service was pleasant and polite. Would happily return to support this...

They were very racist. They refused to let us dine in even when there was an available 4 seat table (we were 4 people). They said it was reserved which fair. But two people came and sat there when there were two seat tables available that they could’ve sat at. The staff didn’t do anything. But then another table became available and we asked if it was also reserved to which they said no it just needed a clean and we can sit there. But after cleaning it, other people sat there and the lady just turned her face. When confronted, they just tried to give excuses. They said the food would take 20 min but they didn’t call us to get it. When we went to check after 40 min, we found it sitting on the bench. I don’t know what’s wrong with them but I’ve never felt so discriminated against in my life. Never going back...

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE EVER! I repeat DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! If you don’t want to starve!

7pm ordered online for home delivery 8pm due for delivery - fair enough Saturday night 9pm - food finally arrived WARM!

We called at 8:30pm asking where our food was. They hung up on us TWICE! They proceeded to not answer the phone. They ignored our calls over 18times! The delivery boy said there were three other orders also who they had forgotten!! He admitted it!!! NO SORRY AND NO refund WAS GIVEN! disgusting. First time I will be walking in for a full refund tomorrow and complaining to the manager! Teach your staff how to deal with poor...
