Thai Baan

Thai Baan brings the spirit of a Thai home to Sydney CBD, with cooking rooted in memory and mastery. Its name is a promise: a table set with hospitality, warmth and recipes passed from father to son. Chef Witt honours his family’s craft with a market-to-table philosophy, letting freshness and simplicity carry the story of each dish.

The flavours lean towards Udon Thani in north-eastern Thailand: bright herbs, lively chilli, citrusy snap and the mellow richness of coconut. Start with crisp curry puffs or succulent satay chicken before the pace quickens into shareable plates and bowls.

Enjoy a fragrant green curry or slow-braised Massaman beef curry for comfort, and wok-fired chilli and basil or garlic and pepper for aromatic heat.

Noodles weave through the menu from pad Thai to pad kee mao, while soothing broths - pho and boat noodle soup - keep things deeply satisfying. Rice, whether egg fried or green curry fried, anchors the table in true Thai fashion.

The atmosphere is easy and familial, designed for lingering lunches and convivial dinners where dishes arrive in a steady rhythm and are passed around with conversation. It is homely, genuine and full of heart. Gather friends, bring an appetite and settle in - make yourself at home, Thai home, and let the flavours do the talking.
