$14 and up. Very Small and very popular with Thai's and locals, very unique Thai Food. Half on the street, with heaters when cold, and half indoors, it is packed out at meal times. They pride themselves with a special recipe and their poularity means it must be working. The resaurant is a little out of the way (view map below for details), but it is only a short walk and probably worth it.

Chilli Cha Cha is a lovely medium sized Thai restaurant in Haymarket, Thai Town. The size is just right, small enough to be cosy and not at all cramped. The food is great, it is upwards of $7 per meal and the chef can serve up food that is both traditional and mouthwatering to the Aussie or Thai pallet. From old favourites like Pad Thai to larger spicy fish dishes, the menu is big enough for variety yet not overbearing in choices.
The layout of the restaurant is quite modern, in black, red and silver. The most comfy seats are the Red ones at either side. The food is prepared out back, so unfortunately you miss the action there, but the décor is nice and simple and the window brings in lots of light.

Elephant Jump is a small place, nicely decorated and with a “live kitchen”. The food is prepared right along side the diners and the atmosphere is friendly and active. It gets very busy around lunch times, which is fun, but those wanting some space should hold on until later when things calm down. The restaurant is small yet it gives a nice cosy feel. Prices are very reasonable ranging around $7 and up.

Sumalee is part of the Bank Hotel in Newtown. The restaurant is half outdoors, so truly comes to life in good weather, the other days you just need to snuggle up inside. Sumalee is more expensive than the average Thai restaurant and the meals are huge! The food is quite something, Thai food with a mix of Australia, and they cater for anyone including large parties. The décor is minimal and classy, the Bank Hotel itself is a lively place to be especially at the weekends, so you can have a drink afterwards, and maybe a dance too.

3 Mama Chefs has some nice touches, large varied menu, and a good feel. It sufferers very slightly in layout due to it being very long in shape, but this should not be seen as any reason not to like the place. The food is as good as anywhere and there is a lot to choose from, prices like most places range from $7 and up. The food is prepared in a kitchen which is in sight but a long way from most customers who mostly sit along the one long side of the place on the comfy red bench. Busy at lunch and dinner, but with plenty of space to sit.

Well priced and tasy and _very_very_small! Yet cosy and fun. Just down from Chilli Cha Cha on Cambell Street next to the Lucky Thai supermarket. There is only limited seating and if you get one you will have fun. This is more of a pop in place than most mainly due to its size. It is very popular with Thai people so that is a good sign for the food quality.

A little more expensive than most in the area, yet only a little. This place is often packed but has quite a lot of seating. The food is cooked very openly, right along side people waiting to get in, you can even take a peak into the kitchen from out front. You can feel the action from the red hot, crackeling wok to the busy waitresses. A definate must try in the area.
