Went for lunch on a weekday, was busy with mostly what appeared to be business men, some of whom didn't seem to have a volume control... Not the restaurant's fault obviously. Waiter was the sole front of house staff and was run off his feet, but he was attentive and patient with our indecision. We ordered an entree of salt and pepper squid which was the highlight, so delicious and plentiful, as well as the obligatory pad thai, and massaman chicken curry and beef and basil stir fry from the lunch specials. All dishes were very nice, tasty and generous portions.

  • William Pitt

First time experiencing the food here but must say that it definitely does live up to the reputation. Tried my hand at the sizzling plate and definitely was a pleasant experience. The meat was nice and tender and the wine based sauce complimented the fusion of Thai flavours perfectly. For anyone in the vicinity who wants a great night out enjoying some Thai cuisine, definitely recommended.

We had Penang chicken, pad Thai & veggies & tofu with lemongrass. Really enjoyed the meals we ordered and we will definitely be repeat customers. Their ordering app allowed us to customize our order and it was so much simpler to use than Uber eats etc. On that note it was great to have a meal arriving piping hot direct from the restaurant rather than lukewarm in a wet bag via who knows where with a third party.

Quality ingredients and NOT OILY! Ugh it is so hard to find a Thai restaurant that doesn't drench the stir fried in oil and sugar to try and fill you up. Some people complained the food was too watery, have they never tried a stir fry in Thailand? It is meant to be infused with spices and other flavours in a broth, not a sea of oil. Often they have soups on the menu as well which this place does. Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere make it worth the added price tag

  • Andrew De Witt

Staff service is excellent. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the kitchen. Ordered Pad Thai, green curry and the Pandan chicken. Pad Thai honestly tastes like tomato ketchup noodles. Don't get me wrong it's delicious but it's not authentic Pad Thai. Green curry was absolutely sad. Watered down and bland. You can cook this better. Come on. Ayam brand green curry + coconut cream. That's all you need. The Pandan chicken was actually pretty good.

  • Sarah Matthews

Surprised their Google review is 4.4 out of 5, this is the place you NEVER want to come back. Went to this restaurant last Thursday, staffs are friendly and service is OK, we ordered some traditional Thai dishes such as Tom Yum Goong, Pad Thai, Beef Curry and more, the food size is good but not tasty, noodle has been overcooked into small pieces, beef is too hard to eat, and just can't find any "green" on the dishes. Really disappointed.

  • RustyNeverSleeps

First visit and pleasantly surprised. Fresh ingredients and tasty flavours. The chicken dishes, including the satay were slightly over cooked, but only a minor issue. They have two sittings which is inconvenient as the first setting is too early and the second too late. We opted for the second and the restaurant was 3 quarters full, so maybe they can look at this. Overall, a pleasant experience so we will be back.

  • Pet King

Manager was extremely rude.Charged $24 corkage for two bottles of wine and when we questioned it managed moched us to the table next to us in earshot.Food was very basic and over priced.Place was empty and couldn’t get service. Avoid this place with a pashion.Told we obviously never eat out by the manager, told because we complained we would get bad Carma, never had an experience this bad ever

  • Steven Copley

Have always been a fan of Parade Thai but felt they had slipped over the last 12 months. Went back tonight for the first time 6 months .....Very very ordinary!! Was always value for money and tasty food, but what we just got was simply not up to scratch. In a word ,Tasteless!!!

  • Joanna Ang

massamun curry beef is realy nice. grill king prawn is not worthy of money. deserts are all good..really hot chilli in the seafood salads makes your lips burning up and the vegies in it are warm, not taste like salads.All other dishs are about average to me compared to REGENT THAI. Service is slow.

  • Chris Ho

The dishes at Parade Thai are always quite good. The staff is friendly and attentive. Pad Thai is quite substantial and priced fairly - 8/10. My personal favourite is the dessert menu - the sticky rice and mango 8.5/10.

  • Diani Ci

The food was amazing and the portions were good. I had the chicken Pad Thai and a vegetable curry. Staff were friendly and the place was comfortable. I would only recommend some background music to improve the ambience. I will definitely come back!

  • Dimuthu Samaranayake

Pretty poor quality. Tried it for the first time. Had Laksa and Fried Rice. Was surprised how low the quality was. Nothing to write home about. Disapointed. Not going back there again.

Food is pretty good here. Got the chicken panang curry with coconut rice. It’s a bit on the pricey side but the serving sizes are quite large. Couldn’t finish one dish alone. Definitely not stingy on the meat either.
