Doytao Thai

Hands down best Thai I've ever had. I live in Marsden Park and I still do the 1 hr trip into the city to bring the Mrs to this Thai restaurant. Been going here since 2008 and my opinion hasn’t changed, even now. Green curry, Beef with oyster sauce, Pad Thai (amazing!), stuffed chicken wings and money bags was our last meal in the pics. So good can’t wait to go back!!

Walk pass here so many time finally decided to try the food here. They have good lunch special. Try their $12 Iso Lunch Sets I order the Charcoal Chicken noodle Salad with Sesame Mayo Dressing + Mini Spring rolls. It was tasty and generous salad portion. The green tea noodle with sesame mayo dressing was good. Will come back again to try more of their thai food.

Unfortunately I need to give this restaurant only 1 star. While the food was tasty, the attention to hygiene was very poor. I initially pointed out that there were blowflies in the cabinet with all the ready cut vegetables. They didn't take action and I had to point out again that there were flies walking directly on the ready to eat veggies. Okay this probably happens at other places out of view, however when this is in plain site and they were asked twice about it, I find it very poor. They finally attempted to put a small piece of plastic across which really did nothing. I said they really need to get a glass door or plastic cover. It's up to them I guess, but I certainly won't go back.

Great takeaway variety, delicious food but a little pricey if you add in extras. Not much dine in space nor the environment is too welcoming. Outdoor arrangement is absolutely not safe because of the busy street. Home deliveries are fast and hot but definitely doubt the hygiene quality of the place. Khapun khap for the food.

This Doy Tao is very different to the Newtown outlet. Whereas Newtown is a table service restaurant, this is labelled as “express”. And that it is, for you order at the counter inside and your food comes out almost as quick as you order it. There’s a few tables outside, but no other diners when we visited, but plenty of takeaway and delivery drivers. The food menu is extensive, with an array our your Thai favourites; their signature dishes, seafood, proteins, smaller entrees, curries, stir fries, salads and sides. Using fine ingredients to produce meals with colour, texture, fragrant smell and great taste, the food is high quality. However, the first half of their menu to be quite expensive but fairly standard prices for the stir fries and curries. For an entree, the bbq octopus was nicely grilled and marinated in Thai herbs with a sweet chilli sauce. We ordered the seafood thai salad, a refreshing dish of grilled seafood; squid, king prawns, scallops and fish fillets. In a lovely sweet sauce on a bed of lettuce, we thoroughly enjoyed this one. Their pad thai is one of the better ones we’ve had. The popular thai rice noodle dish was made with its usual egg, roasted peanuts and sprouts and we chose to have it with tofu, veg and an extra chicken add on. A causal fuss free meal that tastes good. What more does one need.
