Stir Crazy Thai

Really enjoyable Thai restaurant, the food is hot & tasty, served quick & the staff helpful. It’s always busy & the best time to visit is early dinner time so you avoid the mad evening rush. The Money Bags starter is one of the most yummy things I have had in Australia, little round pastry bags deep fried with a filling of corn, peas & chicken & tied at the top so you have a crunchy top. The take away service is just as good & the standard of food is always high, delivery times are reasonable & the food arrives hot! Would recommend a visit.

Ordered for pick up. Fast, generous portions, really tasty, good prices — everything was great!
Roti with satay sauce — roti was a little on the oily side and not crispy, but the sauce was amazing! Full of peanut bits and really tasty.
Pad see ew — only comes with the pork option and pork is a bit fatty. Huge serving, enough for 2 meals!
Small and very busy restaurant. The staff were stir crazy! Would get takeaway from here again.

Excellent ! Just excellent.
Very cheap for lunch time (10 $ specials meals), with a large choice.
Highly recommended

Don’t bother ordering take away. They forget about you and leave your food on the counter. By the time they realise you’re not just hanging around for the fun of it, your food has gone cold.

I’m hearing reports that the take away isn’t so great, but hell I enjoyed the eat-​in. It’s a little pricey for thai food when you’re a Newtown regular, but the flavours are great and the servings are decent. I really enjoyed the green curry salmon and the pumpkin curry. Give it a try (and book if you don’t want to wait!)

Yummy thai with BYO! Do you really need more details? If you do, just read the other reviews :-p
P. S. Bottleshop is a couple of doors down.
P. P. S. Spicy duck = awesome.

Always a fun, crammed, tasty experience. I’ve been eating the chicken and sweet potato stir fry for years and always want more! Excellent curry puffs and seafood dishes too. If they’re full, get takeaway and some wine/​beer and head to the park — perfect for visitors to Sydney!

Large portion sizes so come hungry! They didn’t have roti which made me sadface and our waiter spoke very little english but she repeated our order back to us so we knew she understood what we wanted. Sweet potato and chicken stir fry is really nice but mee siam was a bit boring.
Come early. The restaurant is very small and after 6pm you’ll be lucky to get a table.

Stir Crazy Thai is always packed time and time again. While I prefer their competitor down the road, Bangkok Sidewalk, the restaurant does have a few dishes which are a favourite of mine. This place gets really busy so it is best to book in advance. Despite there being an abundance of Thai restaurants in the area, Stir Crazy does get a bit busy, as customers go «crazy» for their Thai! BWS is conveniently located on the corner. On more than one occasion, my friends and I have bought a bottle of wine to bring to the restaurant (BYO is accepted). The restaurant is a little small and cramped which is one drawback of the place– and can be very noisy. But this seems to be a common theme in Thai restaurants in the area. It all adds to the experience!

The restaurant was full when we walked down, scores of people seated on the tables in this small and crazily popular Thai eatery.
We wandered into the BWS next door and chose a bottle of wine to enjoy over dinner as we waited for a table.
Finally some people left and we were seated. The lack of space versus the popularity of the restaurant culminating in a very squashed seating arrangement between myself and my two friends. Shoulder to shoulder we sat and perused the menu.
We ordered and began to drink our recently purchased wine. The food was brought out and we ate it, as we thought that was the appropriate response. It was delicious and filling and just what we needed to fill our stomachs as we intended a bit of drinking to follow.
I had to use the bathroom and unfortunately their bathroom was not in the restaurant but around the corner, I took the key from the waiter and made my way there.
We got the bill and left. An enjoyable, if not a little cramped, dinner. A precursor to the night ahead. Not that the night ahead was cramped, but it was enjoyable.

True to its name, this place is a little on the crazy side — in a good way. The fairy lighting, frenetic waiters, pumping music and close quarters make this place a bit more than just your local Thai place. If you’re up for eating somewhere quirky, upbeat and cool then Stir Crazy is for you. Oh and the food is good too!
All the usual suspects are on the menu here — soups, noodles, curries and stir fries. The green and red curries are delicious ($ 14.90). The fried rice with chicken is also a good choice ($ 13.90). If you dine in the food is always presented in an interesting way which is true to the Stir Crazy style. Take away is also an option — a bit cheaper and very quick.

The explosion of Thai restaurants around Kirribilli in recent years is a curious trend, given that each seems to serve exactly the same menu and none are competing too well in the quality stakes.
Stir Crazy is the original, and while newcomers have tempted a takeaway order here and there, I always return for the best food, the biggest portions and the most reasonable prices.
They had a refurbishment a few years back that transformed the tiny shopfront into an ambient hot spot of sorts — decked out with (fake) flickering candles and chrome shelving lined with imported sauce bottles and jars, dining here is a much classier take on the typical takeaway experience.
While the to-​go crowd keeps them busy from midday onwards, my advice is to opt to dine in as the meals are inevitably larger and they’ll package up leftovers for you anyway. Their satay chicken skewers are hard to pass up to start, the sauce think with peanut chunks and spiked with fresh chilli, while the yum gob salad with tender, coconut milk-​poached chicken with fresh vegetables in a mildy spicy curry sauce is my go-​to order for main.
It’s BYO, too — if you’ve come empty handed, grab a vino from the BWS conveniently next door — and the staff are pretty relaxed and happy for you to get your booze on while you dine.
