Thai & Co — Restaurant in Sydney

A bit too sweet - everything. Oyster sauce veggies, Tom Yum soup - the more you eat, it just gets more and more sweet. The fun part is - I asked for no sugar. And rice, no matter brown rice for me or fried rice for my husband was too dry and hard.

Positive part - prawns were good. But chicken seems like processed.

49 AUD for fried rice with chicken, veggies and prawns with oyster sauce, Tom yum small, and brown rice.

Personally, I’d rate it 3.8

UPD- Re: The way the owner asked was not comfortable and pushing. And my husband answered politely - “um, ok”

As I said it’s 3.8, and portion wasn’t big, so you still can eat, especially if you already paid and against food waste. But definitely not for coming back.

So, in order to be polite we ate (but haven’t finished half of rice and soup), and in order to let other people know, I left review.

As I can see, there’s other people who told that curry is too sweet. Maybe, it’s time to reduce sugar?

Question 1 - so If we told you it were too sweet and dry, you will cook again everything from scratch? 🤔

Question 2 - why it was so sweet? Why? 😿 I asked clearly when ordered - no...

the place seems nice and the person who took my order was nice to me as well. as for food, I've had stomach ache since past 3 days ever since I ate here. I ordered a pad ki mao and salt pepper squid.

pad ke mao was spicy as it should be but the amount of noodle to veggies was not good. too much noodles. also, not sure why it tasted a little sour? I could feel some vinegar was added (maybe a different recepie). I've never had pad ki mao from anywhere that had vinegar aftertaste. Also, the veggies didn't seem to be fresh. I asked for veggies and tofu and got 4 half cut pieces of tofu all together. It was mainly noodles with red chillies. I enjoy and can handle spicy food but this was something else. Had little to no flavour other than chillies and vinegar.

Salt pepper squid was very dry and small portion as well. The sauce that came with it was nice but the squid itself seemed as if it was cooked a day ago. chewy and dry.

i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless they want to feel sick. please try to work on the cooking skills or try to change the recepie and fix proportion of things added...

Last week, I visited Thai & Co in Caddens and placed an order with a male staff member. I ordered two prawn fried rice dishes and requested them to be spicy. However, the amount of chili added was excessive—every grain of rice was coated in chili, making the dish overwhelmingly hot. It was so spicy that it burned my mouth and made eating extremely uncomfortable. I couldn’t finish my meal, so we packed it for takeaway.

While dining, we overheard another customer also complaining about the level of spiciness in her food. I’ve never had issues with the food here before so this was very disappointing.

Today, when I returned to place an order, I specifically requested that chili be kept separate. When I mentioned the issue with the previous order, the same staff member completely denied it, showing a dismissive attitude. This interaction left us frustrated, and we decided to leave instead of placing an order with someone...
