Wonderful authentic fresh Thai food. The madam beef was in point. The beef was being stripped into pieces whilst I was teasing it with my fork. Definitely recommend

The best Thai restaurant in Brisbane’s inner South! Everything is so fresh and delicious and the team is friendly and always welcoming. My favourites include the crispy salt n pepper tofu and the duck tam.

They have indoor AIR CONDITIONED dining. The woman who managed the place was amazing and very friendly - would cater to any request. The food was more legitimate Thai than most franchises in Brisbane. I understand they toned down the spice for the public, but the flavours were there. Would recommend if you’re craving Thai food.

Stubbled upon here on accident. Great atmosphere, and the owner is very friendly. Food is great, it’s very hard to find a Thai place that does great tasting Thai noodle soups

Food is great - fresh and delicious but quite small portions for the price. E.g. Fish barra and rice cost $28.20! Same price for pork belly and massaman curry. And it’s really a 1 person size per dish, curry was a tad bigger. Also the dish is $3.20 more for dine in than for takeaway for each dish! If I had known this before I sat down at the restaurant, I would have got takeaway instead as it cost more than $12 in total for our table of 4 to dine in. It should be stated clearly that there is a surcharge for dining in. While service was friendly, they did not notice our water jug was empty, and when we asked for more water, they forgot our request. Also I don’t agree with the sign on the table that said you can get a free drink if you rate the restaurant 5 stars on Google. A good restaurant would be asking for truthful reviews, not wanting to bump ratings up by enticing people to rate it 5 stars.

We lived in Melbourne with world class BYOs and have now found one in West End - extremely authentic Thai food with great Australian ingredients. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and professional. Notebook based ordering allows you to control the timing of your meal. The restaurant is up the hill from the Boundary St and Vukture street cirner with excellent park8ng behind. Highly recommended for lunch and or dinner. BYO but also wine by the glass at very modest cost. A steak dish was brilliantly prepared. Highly recommended- check it out you will not be disappointed.

We ordered multiple dish san choy bow was lacking flavour, Tom yum Gong & the soup was flavourless lukewarm & we were served raw prawns & the pad Thai was mediocre to say the least. Last but not least was nam tok beef salad, didn t come with nam jim & was drenched in bottled salad dressing. Overall it was a a disappointing experience.

Forgot to take photos, but the place is nice and great value for the price. We had banquet set B, minimum of 4 people and had leftovers for takeaway because there was actually generous servings of food. Love the side dishes, crispy pork, and beef curry. There are indoor and outdoor seating, toilet, and street parking. Staff is very friendly and serves you water as soon as you are seated. It s very easy to order through their tablet. Parking: Depending on time you get there, you might get lucky with street parking.

Friday nights at Gala Thai can be described as a melting pot of cultures. This popular local hub serves up not your traditional flavours but a fusion of local Aussie meets Thai, providing a unique experience hidden within West End. The vibes were excellent, and the service was wonderful. If youre curious about Thai food with a twist, Gala Thai will surely surprise.

One star to the service one star to the ambience. Food was disappointing. Ordered a crispy pork with Kai lan that was ok averageish, another one pad cha barra# the fried fish was obviously precooked and reheat. It was tough and dry complete disaster. Obviously another over rated restaurant, Higher than average priced but not justified. Around $60 for two ppl just a regular lunch with two dishes.. No more.

The food is amazing! The laksa soup is very good and the tofu soaked in all the flavor. The pad ka praw with crispy pork belly is well seasoned and well matched with coconut rice. We also ordered vegan som tum and sticky rice. It would be good if theres cherry tomato in it to balance the flavor and the sticky rice is a bit hard and dry to our taste. The service is very good and well definitely return to try other dishes!

We had a pleasant evening dining alfresco on a warm Brisbane summer night. This place is clearly popular with the locals, with most outside tables being occupied and in addition, a steady stream of take-away patrons queuing up outside. Four of us dined and we ordered a selection of starters and main courses, including dumplings, spring rolls, chicken karaage, massaman beef curry and two serves of coconut rice. And to wash it all down a few bottles of refreshing Tiger Lager and a glass of red wine for my wife. No complaints about the food; it was all fresh and tasty and served in decent portions. The dumplings and spring rolls were the perfect way to start the evening. I liked the contrast between the soft dumplings and crispy spring rolls. The chicken karaage was succulent and tender, wrapped in a nice crunchy batter. The massaman beef curry was melt-in-your-mouth tender and soaked in a fragrant and aromatic yellow curry and sprinkled with peanuts and shallots. Ordering is done via individual tablets on the tables, and that worked fairly smoothly once we got the hang of it, although given the amount of sit-in diners and takeaway orders, service was a tad slow and erratic, with some meals coming before others. I guess this is one of the downsides to electronic ordering, as there didn t seem to be an ability to accumulate orders before hitting the button, so the result was that one order was placed and the dish was brought to the table, another order, another dish brought to the table, and so on. Each diner has their own tablet, which added to the confusion. But in the end, to be fair to these guys, everybody got their meals in good time and no-one went hungry. Our total bill for four came to what I thought was a hefty $140 for five drinks (the Tiger Lager was supposedly on special at $5 ea, so that should have reduced the bill), two starters and four mains. The toilets are in the next door building and you need to grab the key from the front desk. They were clean and well provisioned, although the key only opened the female cubicle, which didn t really matter as it s a single cubicle anyway. The ambience was super casual, laid back and relaxed and full marks to the hardworking owner and her staff for creating a pleasant dining atmosphere and serving high quality food in generous portions.

Food was a bit disappointing. I thought that the pad thai was a bit too sour, way too much tamarind. The red curry was a bit bland, and feels like the rice was microwaved as some portion of the rice were cold. Price is a bit on the higher side and portion is small-ish but thats just West End I guess. We arrived at about 7.45pm for dinner, not sure if going earlier would have made a better experience. I remember coming here when they first opened and had a positive experience. Hopefully this was just a once off.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Brisbane!!! I had Barra Ginger Soy broth, Duck Tam and Pad Ka Pao with crispy pork belly for dinner yesterday. Its really tasty and finger-licking good! The steamed fish came well. The skins of the pork and the duck were very crispy and still soft and juicy inside. Its very satisfying.

I don t understand how this place has an average of 4.6 stars. Whilst service was good, the food was definitely below average. We ordered Pad Thai and Beef Massaman curry. Both dishes were very bland. For the Pad Thai, they used round noodles instead of the proper flat and wide rice noodles. The still water was highly chlorinated and tasted like chemicals.

Truly a 10/10 place!! Fantastic authentic flavours, amazing service and great atmosphere. Gala is one of those rare gems that you find out of the blue and can never forget after just one visit. It seemed to be a busy night when I was there, not just with dine-in but takeaway orders as well but despite all of this, I was so pleased to get really quick service. Everything was just done to perfection. Love the open kitchen concept as well. Feels like everyone s apart of a loving family. I really wish it was closer to my house, but it s probably better keeping the distance since I would literally get takeaway EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Can t wait for my next visit. I will keep recommending it to everyone I know.

Highly recommend!!! Had a date night dinning at Gala Thai, West End tonight. As always, their food, drink lists and services never disappoint us! Easiest way to order food with a tablet which you can see picture of what you will have. Jib, Ton and their team are incredible. They are very friendly and accomodating. I would recommend to have Salt and Pepper Tofu served with house-made peanut sauce which was the best combination. Tofu was super crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had 8 pieces by myself and left 2 for my husband. 10/10!!! We always love their curry, especially Red Curry with Chicken, so tasty. Great job Gala Team, keep up your great work. see you again soon.

The food was delicious. We had salt and pepper tofu, vegan laksa and vegan fried rice + some drinks. The salt and pepper tofu was very crispy and to the point. The fried rice could have benefitted from some more salt, but the veggies were fried perfectly, still fresh and crispy. However, the real star if the evening was the vegan laksa. Smooth, rich and perfectly balanced. I would go back for it again and again. Vegetarian options: Vegan Dietary restrictions: Vegan

Amazing Thai! You have to get the duck. The sauce it has been marinating in is out of this world. The staff are super friendly too. Will definitely be back! Some of the photos of the food are after we tucked into it - the portion sizes are great here. Parking: There s a number if street parking spots up and down Boundary street.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Brisbane. Scrumptious food, good selection of vegan options and very efficient and super friendly staff.

Unfortunately this business does not cope with online orders. We waited at least 90 minutes for our order on. Friday night. As you can imagine the food was not great. We ordered via Uber and it looks like the driver gave up after waiting too long. I can not blame him they are trying to make money and waiting for an order is burning money. I would suggest that this business drop on line as they have no priority for on line customers. Unfortunately I can not recommend this restaurant for on line orders I have eaten in the restaurant and that was ok but this has been a very bad experience and on that basis it is with regret that I have given them a low rating. My conclusions is as follows eat in the restaurant and never order on line. You will be disappointed

First time buying our dinner from here. Takeaway. It was ready on time; the young woman who served me was friendly, smiling and cheerful; the food was great value from both flavour and quantity. Many places water down the sauces and save on meat and verges. Not at Gala Thai. Loved it and will definitely be back, even though they are a little further afield from home.

I ordered check pad Thai. I asked them to change chicken to prawn. But they only can serve with chicken which is made me disappointed. It was good point that they didn t use a lot of oils, but it was too much soup and wet noodles for me.

Pad Thai was terrible. They used thin, round noodles instead of the proper flat pad thai noodles. Result was soggy, gluggy noodles that stuck together. Spring rolls were crispy on the outside but doughy on the inside. Really disappointed

Went in March 2022 and was expecting the usual suburban Thai experience. Couldnt be more wrong, EVERY dish was delicious WAY beyond expectations. Loved the order-as-you touchpad system which made ordering with a large family a breeze. Crispy pork belly was out of this world and best Massaman Ive ever tasted, and Ive tasted plenty. Staff were very helpful seating our crowd even though it was busy, and I can see why. Well done!

1 Star is too many ... Ordered Fried Rice was 14 to 15 dollars , Worst fried rice i have had in 50 years, tasted as if it was cooked beforehand and then warmed up in a dirty pan - will not go back nor recommend to anyone. i did have 2 spoons of it and it went to the bin with most haste. I should of known better the place looks untidy and somewhat dirty.

Thumbs up to Yip the owner. This place have amazing authentic Thai food. We recommend the duck tam as we get takeaway every fortnight and enjoy a wine/beer while waiting. The staff are attentive and know us by name. The service and food is phenomenal. If you are in West End I do recommend this place .

We tried Gala Thai for the first time. The beef salad was absolutely delicious. The salad dressing is full of flavour and the sirloin steak was perfectly prepared. Additionally, the tofu red curry was so flavoursome; the vegetables and tofu were cooked to a delightful crunch and the curry itself was one of the best Ive ever had. ***** A+++++

WOWWWW!!! Absolutely amazed with the quality and value of what I had delivered. I m so glad I had the chance to try this with a free delivery offer on the Doordash app. Normally I don t like paying too much to have food delivered but wont mind in the future with Gala Thai. The Tom Yum soup did leak a bit but was still quite impressed by what was received especially by the biggest prawns I ve ever seen and the fresh bay leaves and chillis in the soup. Asian slaw salad was super fresh and had the perfect amount of all its ingredients which included mint leaves and peanuts. The coconut rice was also great as it wasn t overly sweet and wet like what yould recieve from many other cheap Thai places on these delivery apps. Will definitely be having Gala Thai again in the future.

Main dish Very spicy barramundi was not spicy, there was not much fish just soft not crispy batter, the vegetables were over cooked. Coconut rice was not good either, and came to the table cold. Bad experience. Siam Southbank Thai Restaurant is far better!

Ordered MenuLog delivery and our meal was never delivered, despite the driver saying it was. No attempt to buzz our unit, no call to our phone, food nowhere to be seen. Contacted MenuLog and they refused to refund or replace saying the driver had rung but the number was incorrect. I checked my profile and my number is correct. I contacted the restaurant direct and was told I could order and pay for the meal again but no other solution was offered. I asked for contact of the driver or if they could ring the driver and they said no. $55 down the drain. Never again

Went to the Gala Thai for Fathers Day 2021. We all agreed that it was one of the best Thai meals that we even eaten. We had an assortment of dishs and all the food was fresh and true to Thai cuisine. The service was excellent with next to no waiting time. You would be hard pressed to find a better Thai restaurant in Brisbane at any price point. Highly recommended.

I liked their ordering system through a tablet placed on your table, you can also use the same system to call a waitress. Food is delicious and the staff is friendly. I initially thought there are no car parking lots available, but there are some spots behind the shop.

Very disappointed. Chose the restaurant on the basis of others reviews. They forgot we were there and when, after 20 minutes of waiting at the table for menus I requested them I was met with a quizzical look. No apology, just menus. Waited quite a while and our three dishes were luke warm at best when they arrived. Food was mostly tasty but not magnificent. Massaman a bit bland and disappointing. Shall not be returning.

Staff are friendly and quick to service. Ask if you have been there or not previously, if not they quickly explain how to use the ordering tablets. Food comes out quickly and together in their appropriate orders(drinks, entree, mains, etc). I just wish I could say I m surprised about the quietness. It s not that quiet as they do have people entering and exiting. Although it could be busier if at a better location such as down about midway the road closer to the bars and other restaurants as they are filled with potential customers unaware of this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Food is decent, price hovers at $20 per main, portions are okay on noodle dishes. They removed free rice from dishes that basically need it. Service was terrible. And enough to make me angry. Tuesday night, 7pm. Not too busy, their indoor tables were empty. Ordered 2 stir fried noodle dishes for takeaway (5 minute cooking time) It took over 40 minutes to be made. Yes, 40 minutes. We werent even warned itd take that long. At least then we couldve gone home and returned since we are locals. All we got was a very standard sorry for the wait. Didnt seem too bothered. I would understand if they were busy. But while we waited we saw AT LEAST 5 uber eats orders rushed out. Bag after bag of uber eats being ready. If I were to guess they prioritise their online reviews over in store customers. So heres an online review. Order uber eats, pay more. At least you wont waste your night sitting outside the door.
