I always have a wonderful meal every time I’ve been there. Meal - amazing Thai Food. Good price and proper portion. Booking in advance is recommended due to very limit seats. If you seeking Thai food, tastes like authentic, I would suggest here.

Have patronised few times now, so far they are quite consistent with their food. Love their lunch special especially crispy pork fried rice Had dinner with my family last night, everyone enjoyed the food. Was wondering if the prawn crackers are only serve to regular customers ? The lady boss served it to a table of 4 that came after us. But didn't serve crackers to us also table of 4. We will return again soon

My favourite local restaurant. Friendly authentic Thai food and dining experience. High quality ingredients and good value pricing. Plus it’s BYO. The venue isn’t grand but it’s charming and authentic, when compared to dining in Bangkok. Highly recommend a visit, especially if you are local. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Arundel Thai was absolutely delicious. The S&P Quail was amazing, all the dishes were heavily laden with the meat we chose. Thankyou for such an awesome dinner

Great local spot with awesome food and a relaxed vibe. The Tom Yum Soup was the absolute standout with bold, deep flavors with just the right amount of “Aussie hot” that hits hard without being over the top. Seriously one of the best I’ve had. For the serious chili lover, go Thai hot The aptly named Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli was perfectly crunchy and packed with flavor. The Drunken Noodles with Beef had heaps of flavor and a nice kick. Medium heat was closer to hot but still on point. Finished with the deep-fried ice cream and caramel. Crunchy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. A couple of small suggestions to elevate the atmosphere: adding some background music and maybe dimming the main ceiling lights to let the pendant and mood lighting shine. It’s BYO, and Liquor Legends nearby is super handy with top-notch service. Perfect for a solid, affordable night out supporting local. Highly recommend!

Having lived in Thailand for 6 years, I am always on the hunt for a good local Thai. Arundel Thai is all that and more! The flavours are so authentic I'm transported back to Bangkok. My husband and I regularly order Steamed Fish in Thai salad sauce, and I've recently discovered the sweet potato rolls (entree) are absolutely delicious! Whether for a quick lunch, or a nice family dinner, you can't go wrong here!

I'm a big fan of Thai food. I wanted to try out something I don't usually order. The staff and my friend who is a regular customer of this restaurant recommended me to try pawpaw salads which is a famous salad in Thai food. Also, we ordered my favorite Pad Thai and my friend’s favorite fried rice. Their recommendation was unmistakable! Everything was amazing. The most surprising dish was deep-fried ice cream. It's incredible that sweet ice cream surrounded a crispy and warm dough. It was a surprisingly good combination!

We have been dining here for many years and regularly meet friends for a mid week dinner and although it is under new ownership now the food is still always superb, the portions are decent as is the price, it really is the best Thai on the coast. ( no 39 is so good )
