Ginger Leaf Thai Restaurant

Our friends invited us to have a dinner at this restaurant. Initially we were a bit worried because the venue was not crowded on a Friday night. But the food was quite decent and the atmosphere inside - very relaxing and cozy. The carries are really good and go well with roti or rice. If you have space for a dessert - we recommend a crispy banana with coconut ice-cream (not too sweet but tastes delicious)

Place is always busy , advance booking is recommended. Place can accommodate groups as well, good to pre-order, otherwise there will be 15-30minutes delay. Food is really yummmm. They have good options for vegetarians as well. Rather than usual fried rice /noodles , you could try few other things like Anna and the king, spicy noodles etc. I came here with group of 20 people, we had pre-ordered, service was really quicker and food taste was also maintained 👍

On the busy Bourke Street, and the proximity to the other Thai restaurants, you are in for a treat as the battle for Asian culinary supremacy is on! As an avid Asian food lover, I had to go for the benchmark: Spicy Drunken Noodles. If you don’t know, Pok Pok set the pace and every other restaurant now has to compete with that. I chose to go with Spicy Noodle with Beef. And whilst I thought I could handle my spice (yeah, there are levels). The noodles were nice and sleek and the vegetables cooked nice and crispy where needed. I found the beef to be a little tough for my liking but they were thin enough to be consumed in one hit. Now the spice? Well, these people don’t mess around. The noodles had really soaked in the flavour and when you then accidentally consumed a chilli… you know you were in for a world of trouble. However, it was nothing that a quick glass of water couldn’t fix. The service was actually slow for once. It might have to do with the fact that they were completely packed out with the lunch crowd. So if you were thinking of walking in off the street, unless you’re a party of two, your chances are quite slim. Plus, there is a tendency for them to forget at least one meal in a group booking. And it turns out that it’s always for the same person too. Sorry TW. I had to bring it up. I liked the internal decor. It really brought to life Thailand. From the pictures of their leaders to the thai dance feature out front. All in all, I enjoyed it but with the closer finds, this might actually be a little too far away for me to get to. A great alternative right next to Nixon, you could always add a new spice to your life.

Thai green curry with jasmine rice was really tasty on a cold day. The service was quick and the host was very friendly and helpful. Nice cosy place with Thai decor.. we went there for dinner where we had to share the curry and order the rice separately..however lunch time they serve individual plate with one portion meal per person like curry and rice thats a better option. We also tried Thier chicken Satay which was good.

They took forever to bring the orders even after the restaurant had only three tables occupied and weren't even sure of how many dishes were supposed to be brought to our table. One of our friends was without food even after all of us had received our orders. However, the food tasted good. I think they should work towards improving their service as their food tastes good👍😊
