Fantastic Thai food and good servings this place looks a little dated but has charm to it. The pork belly and fried rice were the winner dishes. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Came here from Reddit's raving reviews. Ended up leaving with a disappointed and upset stomach. Food was very poor and lacked any care. Portions didn't resemble price at all. Just absolute heavy neglect on produce, presentation and overall quality. Service was not note worthy (which isn't a bad thing). What can be said though, we ordered 2 bowls of rice, instead receiving 1. Asked for the second bowl and they proceed to fill 1/2 of the 1 bowl 🤷🏽‍♀️. Paid for both but that's probably on us not standing up for our selves. 😥 Papaya salad decent. Spent over $100 on disappointment. Wouldn't recommend. *photos attached obvi we've taken a scoop from them so not 100% accurate. 1 scoop was made to both. Over $27 on each.

So good, but so spicy! :) A very unique regional flavour (difficult as there are so many thai restaurants in Syd) Recommended: - any curry with the caysorn curry paste, if you can tolerate heat - the iced pandan drink (the flavour is so strong!)

Caysorn - Thai Southern food isn’t new. It’s been a balcony stalwart on the first floor of the Prince Centre for nearly 15 years. What’s even more remarkable than its longevity in a climate where even good restaurants close down, is across this period, it has stayed true to its owner’s vision. After migrating here in 1973, Chalio Tongsinoon, wanted to serve us the spicy and flavoursome southern Thai cuisine we were lacking. Despite being told dishes like kanom jeen (soft fermented rice noodles served with fish-based curry sauce and fresh vegetables) wouldn’t work in Sydney, six variations on this dish are still on Caysorn’s menu today. We opt for kanom jeen nam ya kati ($17.90) where the curry sauce poured over loops of noodles is blended with flathead, coconut milk and kaffir lime. Load up on fresh and pickled vegetables at the restaurant’s salad bar to enjoy with this tasty and quite spicy dish. There’s also a DIY element to the miang goong ($26.90) with betel leaves passed separately to the mound of Thai salad. Here you’ll be dodging scud chillies in the slightly sweet mountain of crisp school prawns, lemongrass, ginger, shallots, toasted coconuts, and ground shrimp, to wrap your own. Nahm prik kapi ($24.90) is an omelette made with a leafy fern we consider an invasive plant. It’s mild and easy to eat with a small amount of spicy shrimp paste. Super sweet floor staff did gently try to dissuade us from ordering the jungle curry with red spot whiting ($26.90). Listed on the menu with three chillies, it’s a ballistically hot collection of Thai eggplants, holy basil and fillets of whiting. There’s a reason there’s an ice cream cart in the centre of this colourful space. I resort to taking pinches of the sticky rice that came in a set ($24.90) with spongey grilled pork jowl and papaya salad (which was also hot). While this restaurant kicked my butt, I loved its unapologetic, punchy Southern Thai cuisine. They also allow BYO ($3.50/person) but good wine is probably wasted against such lively cuisine.

This was my second visit to Caysorn Thai after first discovering it by accident in 2022 when staying nearby, and I was impressed by the delicious food. In 2025, I was brought here again by a tour and immediately recognized the restaurant as the interior is still relatively the same. The food remains tasty—loved the green soup, fried chicken, and prawns. The omelette was quite ordinary, if not a bit underwhelming. The service consider as quick and good. Still, I highly recommend stopping by after shopping at Paddy’s Market for a satisfying Thai meal.
