Siwilai Thai Street Food — Restaurant in Sydney

2.8 - Popped in here to quickly have lunch, seeing the high rating. I thought it would be ultra fast service but I had to wait a whole 20 minutes. Spring Rolls were light and crispy, although they were vegetable so had the mushiness of Veg inside (2 for $4). I also had a lunch special of Chicken Pad Thai ($14.90). I am surprised at what it turned up like - the entire dish tasted like peanut sauce and not much else. The noodles were not the usual Pad Thai noodles but more similar to the width and texture of egg noodles. It still has the springiness but when it's lathered entirely in peanut sauce, I found it very hard to enjoy. The chicken was also on the dry side because it was thin slices. I didn't enjoy the dish at all. Even with different protein, the peanut sauce made it very gluggy. Pity. I wanted to...

I feel sorry for the waitress that she have to be alone at busy lunch. So,our service was so slow,but the staff tried they best cant blame on them.

The Boat noodle was so nice only one thing I can recommend.

The tomyum noodle was so plain no taste. No about spicy or not but it doesn't have a taste of broth soup or seasoning. Seems like we have noodles with just boiled water.

The Hoi tod was so disappointing because it take really long and it burnt. We told staff to bring what ever can be done first but we got as the last table because of we ordered Hoi Tod. But we already informed them.

I gave 3 stars for boat noodles . May go back again just for the boat noodles...

I came here because the words of mouth that Kuay Chap here is nice. So I ordered kuay chap, hoi tod, and kao soi today.

It is true. Kuay Chap is nice, the noodle is soft and bit of sticky texture, all intestines are cooked to perfect. However, the soup was a bit sweet from my like and i prefer more strong or intense flavour.

Hoi tod is quite ok, flour is a bit thick in some part like an omlette. Not good as the other restaurant.

Kao soi is ok, chicken was so soft, noodle was cooked perfect. The soup is good but more like laska.

Overall, it is ok for the price but food was a bit take...
