Thai Carat - North Sydney

When I started working in North Sydney, I had no idea where to go or what to eatI had to learn the hard way what was good and what was not.

My colleague introduced me this Thai takeaway on Walker Street. It is always busy during lunch time probably due to the competitive price. For $7.5 you can have regular two choices with steamed rice or $8.5 large. With extra $0.50 you can substitute steamed rice with fried rice or noodles. The regular size was very generous. The choices were fairly standard - chicken cashew nuts, beef massaman curry, pad Thai, etc. They may not offer the most exciting menu but damn it tasted good! The beef massaman was tender and rich, spicy chicken was well balanced in flavour and texture. I enjoyed it so much that didn't leave any leftover. I will definitely come back for more. thernbdiary.com

A freshly cooked meal for $9.50, I guess I really shouldn't complain. My pad kee mao was borderline ok, way too saucy (but not in a good way), the beef were stuck together in chunks. The place was no frills, bit run down, it was packed to the brim with the limited dine in tables & people shuffling in to order & people waiting for takeaway. It was cheap food, with not a lot of love. Ok for a quick feed.

$ 7.50 lunch break. Was from a colleague intro'd to this place. Bain-Marie Thai, take your choice for so much that you can fit into a medium-sized container. Look, it's cheap .. was it near the best Thai I had, of course not. Was it bad? No. Am I satisfied? Yes somehow. I'm not sure if I'm coming back if I do not have heavy times.

No frill food joint. Grief Atmosphere: Sitting Facility is very limited. Geting Seat here is not possibly impossible if 2+ Pope go together. Grief Service: Fast, but the lunch break is always full, so it takes time to turn revolutions. The staff is good, but sometimes moody. ???????????????? Grief Food: offers 2 possibilities with steam rice / noodle for $ 7.5 / $ 8. Also offers the service service. Grief Overall: value for money midday joint. Grief
