A quiet yet romantic late lunch feast
Right in the middle of Newtown’s Uber-bustling King Street is the superbly decorated Atom Thai restaurant. Even though facing plenty of competition on one of Sydney’s most multi-cultural culinary experience, the Atom Thai offer exquisite dishes on the higher end of a typical Newtown restaurant. Yet, Atom Thai’s exquisite cuisine are worth every penny. We started with salt and pepper squid. This was followed by two rather standard dishes namely, Chicken pad siew and Massaman beef. Selecting these two rather traditional Thai offering increases comparability. And boy! The Atom Thai compares extremely well. The two main courses came with our favourite: “Endless Jasmine Rice (refillable)”. All in all, we had a most outstanding late lunch at the Atom Thai. In our three categories of “never again”, “was okay”, and “let’s go again”, the Atom Thai definitely falls into the category of “let’s go again”. Well done Atom Thai.
