Notes from our York Street kitchen.

Short reads on flavour, quick lunches, menu favourites and the simple CBD dining moments guests come in for.

Menu

The dishes guests keep talking about

Pad Thai with prawns, Hat Yai fried chicken, beef massaman and laksa show the range of Phenthai's flavour-first menu.

Some dishes become regular favourites because they do the basics well. Our Pad Thai balances tamarind, sweetness and salt; our fried chicken brings crisp texture with sticky rice; our curries and noodle soups are made for guests who want warmth and depth.

The menu is broad enough for a quick solo lunch and familiar enough for repeat visits. Choose noodles, rice, curry, dessert or a Thai iced drink, then settle in or take it back to the office.

Lunch

A York Street Thai lunch with real flavour

Our CBD lunch style is simple: hot rice, bold sauces, quick favourites and the kind of dishes guests come back for.

At Phenthai, lunch is about fresh heat, practical portions and dishes that make a workday feel easier. Pad Thai, tom yum fried rice, curries and noodle soups are the meals many guests look for when they want something quick without losing flavour.

Our York Street shop is compact, close to the Queen Victoria Building and built for the rhythm of the CBD. Come in before the lunch rush, pick up takeaway, or sit down for a simple Thai meal with plenty of character.
