About Regent Thai

Regent Thai delivers punchy, authentic Thai flavours across O'Connell Street in a dining room that stays buzzing on a Wednesday. The kitchen turns out wok-tossed beef drunken sailor noodles, tender Wagyu, and coconut curries paired with complimentary steamed jasmine rice. Locals regularly bring their own bottle of wine or ask the kitchen for custom off-menu dishes, while desserts lean traditional with mango sticky rice and house-made coconut ice cream.

  • Generous Classic Plates: Plates range from wok-charred drunken sailor noodles to tender Wagyu beef and aromatic curries served with complimentary steamed jasmine rice.
  • Accommodating Service & BYO: The hospitable floor team accommodates BYO wine and happily customizes off-menu orders for specific cravings or dietary needs.
  • Authentic Sweets: Round out dinner with house-made coconut ice cream or traditional mango sticky rice paired with durian.

  • Green Chicken Curry

    As I ate the - very generous - green chicken curry, I found no reference in my mind of similarly sublime taste sensations, and can only conclude it is the best I have ever experienced.
