If I could give 6 stars I would! Just such fantastic Thai food that it's hard to know where to start, but if you push me I will single out the bezel leaf prawns and the scallops as two of the best Thai tastes I've experienced. But loved the ayam panggnang too!

Food was really good, as someone who has been to Thailand this was quite similar, right ingredients and all.

Situated on Oxford Street, this is a great restaurant to go to before a night out. Thai Nesia has been here for decades and deserves to be. The staff are friendly and helpful. We tried the stuffed chicken wings which were yummy and chicken satay followed by the crispy salmon salad and the roast duck salad. The venue is BYO with a small charge per bottle.

(3.5 stars) Thai Nesia Restaurant has been part of the fabric of Oxford Street—now dubbed the Rainbow Precinct—since I was in primary school. They make no bones about being queer friendly, with a satiny rainbow flag the first thing that catches your eye as you enter the fabric-heavy dining room. This obvious community support, combined with friendly Thai service, cements Thai Nesia in the memory of residents and precinct users. This makes it a full and convivial space even on a cold and wintery Wednesday night. Thai Nesia is also a rare BYO-only restaurant, so if you like to imbibe, grab a bottle as you saunter up the street once known as the Golden Mile. So, what does nostalgia taste like? Well as a queer club kid loading up for a night of drinking and dancing, I remember being wowed by prawn betel leaves ($12/2). By today’s palate they lack the salty, sweet, sour and hot explosions I’ve had elsewhere, but are fresh and enjoyable regardless. Another menu stalwart, chilli basil duck ($30), teams roast duck slices with crisp Thai basil leaves, snake beans, and fresh baby corn. To an uplifting soundtrack that includes plenty of Kylie, I tuck into pad pla prawns ($30). In this dish, an adequate amount of king prawns are teamed with nicely spicy curry paste, lemongrass, kaffir lime and ginger, but let down by hard, undercooked apple eggplants. While Thai Nesia replicates my memories, I suspect my palate ain’t what it used to be.

Went to dinner with a group of friends on a Saturday night (fuelling up for a long night at Universal!). We all agreed the food was amazing (except David didn't like the satay chicken - however he can be a bit picky!). The Chargrilled Chicken Salad was loaded with flavour and the ingredients tasted super fresh - 10/10 for me - who knew a salad for dinner could hit the spot so well! The Beef Massaman Curry was my other standout. Along with the delicious and well-priced food; BYO beers and wine for $4 corkage per head and great, friendly service makes this an awesome spot to head out with the fellas for dinner on a Saturday night.
