Thai Pothong Newtown

The Verdict

Consistently regarded as one of Sydney’s best Thai restaurants, Thai Pothong has been putting us in food comas since its doors opened in 1996. It’s a whopper of a place with its 350-seater setup, but that just means it will be easier for you to get a table. 

To start, the betel leaf with tofu is a perfect way to rev your stomach engine, and the barramundi curry is the perfect warming dish.
