Senyai, Sydney

Sydneysiders seem to have a great liking for Thai food. You can witness this from the bustling Thai eating scene and the hoards of new restaurants opening in the city. The competition is tough and every restaurant is trying hard to distinguish itself from the other one. Senyai is exactly one of those restaurants.



Based in the traffic packed Regent Place in a narrow laneway, Senyai reminds me of Bangkok's lively backstreets. On the first glance itself, you are attracted to the vintage yet modern feel of this eatery. The redolence of the wooden teak walls, the vibrance and charm of the colourful plates, artifacts and memorabilia presents an amazing vibe the moment you walk in.




We started with the tofu filled spring rolls and the crispy prawns. Both the entrees had the right level of crispiness and crunch, however lacked the freshness, tanginess or the spice punch.



Senyai too has an exciting menu but you get pulled into ordering the tried and tested chicken green curry and stir-fried basil chicken. The dishes were hot, well cooked but again lacked the level of spice kick you would expect from a Thai dish.



The word on the street is that Senyai offers the best Thai noodles in town and Senyai, definitely did not disappoint. Less oily with the freshness of bean sprouts and the crunchiness of peanuts, combined with the mouth-watering and exotic Thai flavours, both Chicken Pad Thai and the Tofu Tom Yum noodles were a winner.



Looking for a cheap eat for lunch or dinner or something that is not overly spicy for your taste buds, Senyai is just minutes away from your workplace.

Enjoy eating and reading!!
