Ordered Prawn Pad Thai and roti via uber eats. Delivery was all good, food was hot and plenty of it. Unfortunately it was quite blah. Not much taste and noodles were stodgy. The roti soggy and oily. Had high hopes. I’ll give them another go but order something different.

Best Thai around! Went here tonight and had a delicious Phi Phi duck curry and Choo Chi fish curry and they were delicious! Tom yum is also perfect. Love that it's BYOB too! Thank you!

We had a large take away order delivered to our house for 21 people. The food arrived on time, was freshly cooked and nice and hot. All dishes were delicious with lots of flavour. Would recommend.

Nice and cute cozy place, very quiet and quaint. The staff were friendly. The food itself had deep flavor and umami, I ordered the Thai fried rice with pork which came up to be $20.50 (++ with surcharge) and the rice was good but the pork was a bit tough which was a bit disappointing. Good portion size, though I finished it all in one setting so 20.50 for a meal is still definitely is on the more pricier side.

Had our first takeaway from Thai Raphi after someone reccomended it. We had the veggie fried rice, garlic and black bean veg stir fry and yellow veg curry. Everything was super flavourful and the perfect level of spice (we asked for Thai hot!) Absolutely delicious. I look forward to dining in one day and perhaps trying some of their seafood dishes! Thank you Thai Raphi!

Ordered through Uber eats - Tom kha soup, fish cakes and crispy pork belly with chilli basil. The soup was extremely flavourful and light, perfect for an entree. Fish cakes were perfectly cooked and the crispy pork belly was to die for. 10/10 recommend, absolutely beautiful

What happened? I didnt realise until I was at the restaurant to pick up my order that owners had changed, I thought they just had slightly changed their menu. But none of the dishes we ordered were comparable to my old favourite Thai restaurant. Coconut prawns and Thai fishcakes were rubbery and somewhat bland, my crispy pork was ok but the Asian greens I ordered them with were broccoli, zucchini and beans? What? Also the red duck curry wasnt anywhere near as flavourful as with the previous restaurant. Wont order again.

February 23, 2024

Terrific Thai cuisine! I started with the deep fried tofu - a generous serving and very tasty - my main was the Kao Soi curry with beef and it was BRILLIANT! - My wife had the Pra Goong (prawn salad) and she raved over it. The hosts are really sweet as well. This restaurant which is under new management, will be an ongoing favourite of ours. Give it a try - you won t be disappointed

What happened?! I m so sad! I ve been a regular customer at Thai Patchirin since I moved to the area in 2003. It s my fave and our family s spot for birthday & celebratory dinners It s been a little hit and miss lately, but often when we order delivery we get enough for dinner and lunch or breakfast the next day too I just spent $110 on food that no one liked at all! I m guessing you have changed management? It says on your website that you make consistently tasty food, but it was not. There was no carrot in your green curry or heat and the zucchini s were really over cooked and squashy. Thai fried rice (I m always a little suspicious when it s not Thai named) tasted like it came out of a freezer packet. The famous satay chicken was not at all the same and usually we have fights over fish cakes- so tonight I ordered double and got 10 burnt fish cakes that no one managed to get through a whole one!!! Masaman Beef was over cooked and dry. Overall a massive waste of money. The kicker was getting a call to say my delivery was out on the street I paid $110 for food, I expect it to come to my door. The website stated you get a free rice if you spend a certain amount and that got changed to spring rolls at checkout and I had to go back and add more rice. The website doesn t work either- it always shows the new customer 15% discount until you check out so you re never sure of the price. Last time it said we got a free dish if we spent over $70 and no free dish came- when I called to complain they said it was only for orders before 7pm but the checkout still showed that we would get the free dish. This time ordered early so we would get the free dish but it was only rice and then that changed to spring rolls that no one eats here. After 20 years of loyal patronage I won t be back. Don t waste your money. Thai Gala and the new Thai place on Vulture St are better bets! Thanks Thai Patcharin for 20 awesome years. You will be severely missed!

We went as a group of 6 for a family dinner, the service was wonderful and very caring and helpful. The food came out quickly and has to be some of the best Thai I ve had in west end, there was a good mix of local and more popular dishes. We had the duck Raphi the duck was cooked perfectly with nice crispy skin. We will definitely be returning.

★★★★★
January 23, 2024

I ve been getting take out from here often recently (usually getting the red duck curry or beef massam) and I m always so impressed with the food and portion sizes. Also the staff are super lovely. Definitely going to be my go to for good Thai food!

January 23, 2024

Devo d! I wish I had known that my old faithful Thai was changing hands. The new food is just not up to scratch. Very blah. We are longtime locals, 5 of us got takeaway and none of us enjoyed it. Will never buy from here again. I can t believe I have to seek out a new Thai joint after all these years! Bummer.

★★★

We had been customers of Thai Panchrtin for many years and always enjoyed our favourite dishes of roast duck and chicken pad Thai. The new owners of the restaurant have a different style of cooking, so our favourite dishes tasted completely different, new customers may enjoy the new flavours but for us it was a disappointment. Sadly we will be looking elsewhere for our Thai

I order food from here a lot. I love the food, absolutely delicious. Ive also eaten here with friends and family, they always say it is excellent. Its really fresh and high quality. Very friendly service, can order online direct from the kitchen, no uber needed. Vegetarian options: Theres a good range of vegetarian options. Most of the main meals can be done as vegetable or tofu as the protein source. You get to choose.

The service is fantastic, extremely polite, lovely & attentive staff. We sat outside as it was very busy, the outdoor seating area actually gets a nice cool breeze. Thai Patcharin are BYO, there is a handy bottle shop in this little group of shops which is convenient. Parking right outside Thai Patcharin can be a little tricky on a busy Friday night, there are several popular restaurants in this block. You will find a park on the side streets which run off Hardgrave Street, just be prepared to walk. The menu is fairly extensive & works well for larger groups with varying taste requirements. The prices are very reasonable, you can save by ordering online. A very popular Uber Eats restaurant.

We ordered a Red Duck curry and a Chicken Panang and received exactly the same yellow curry with the same veggies in both, the only difference was the poultry ingredients. This is the 2nd time them have done this, the only reason I can think of is laziness but no matter the reason its deceptive.

I have been here a few times previous and Patcharin Thai have always had excellent meals. However lately it was a little disappointing, serves were a little smaller and the meals not up to thier usual high standard. Hope this was a one off as they are usually pretty good
