Chon - Balmain

This Thai restaurant has become an addiction. A friend who lives in the area recommended it when I was in Sydney on business a few months ago. Now it’s become a regular stop on my trips to Sydney. I’ve found myself going out of the way to make it here and satisfy my craving for their indescribable betel leaf appetiser. It’s like nothing else I’ve had elsewhere. You must try it. It’s a beautifully balanced morsel of food that leaves you wanting more. The place is always filled with locals saying hello to each other and catching up on the goss before heading home after a great meal. Give it a try. I’ll be surprised if you’re disappointed by the great food, the cozy and simple atmosphere and great service. If that doesn’t draw you in. Perhaps the fact that it is BYO will and to help out on that front there’s a wine store two doors down. Enjoy. I’ll be back and perhaps see you there.

I love this restaurant. The food is everything that a high-brow Thai restaurant should be: exciting, tasty, abundant, and keep you wanting more. The dumplings and the pork belly are my only suggestion would be to change the menu seasonally. I'd love to see what else these guys can do.

Brilliant, a real stand out in the Thai restaurant scene! Everything was still those great traditional flavours but with the modern edge that it needs to separate it from the rest!! Well worth the visit! We will be back!

A great Thai restaurant in Balmain, the snapper was delicious as well as the massaman curry, they also do great pina colada cocktails, my new local favorite.

Excellent Thai restaurant!! The food was absolutely delicious! I can't fault anything about the dishes we selected. Pork belly was cooked to perfection. I would have liked a little more roti with my curry but it was still really enjoyable. Only negative about this place was that it was very loud. Owner appears to know what he's doing :
