Perched on Level 2 along Liverpool Street, this fast-moving joint trades standard CBD ramen runs for rich Northern Thai noodle bowls laced with Japanese crunch. The draw is the signature coconut curry broth—thick, spiced, and loaded with chewy egg noodles. Regulars alternate between the classic chicken and crisp tonkatsu pork cutlets dunked straight into the soup. Those skipping the broth order the dry khao soi haeng, where reduced curry clings to every strand without weighing you down. Share a side of charred satay skewers or tender pork ribs glazed with a smoky char.
- Signature Khao Soi: Creamy Northern Thai coconut curry soup crowned with tender chicken or pork ribs and pickled condiments.
- Dry Khao Soi Haeng: A soupless noodle bowl coated in a reduced, concentrated curry sauce that cuts down the broth heft.
- Japanese Katsu Crossovers: Bowls topped with crunchy Japanese elements, from panko-crusted chicken katsu to pumpkin tempura.
- Smoky Skewers & Ribs: Juicy grilled chicken skewers and fall-off-the-bone ribs finished with a deep, smoky char.

Authentic Chiang Mai Curry Broth
Guests craving authentic Northern Thai street-food flavours find exact regional execution in the rich, fragrant curry broth and chewy noodles served in the heart of Sydney.
The broth is rich, flavourful, and tastes just like it does in Thailand.
Moodaengmimi Balanced Creamy Coconut Spicing
The kitchen balances rich coconut cream and aromatic spices to deliver a deeply flavoured curry base that satisfies without overwhelming on heat.
The Khao Soi was rich, creamy and full of flavour without being too spicy.
Sze Ting Chan Nostalgic Relief for Regional Thai Cravings
Customers who have spent time in Chiang Mai find instant nostalgic relief from specific Northern Thai cravings right in central Sydney.

After spending some time in Chiang Mai & returning back to Sydney, I missed Northern Thai food until today & got my fix!
Nick and Sue Punchy Dry Khao Soi Alternative
For diners seeking concentrated spicing without the fullness of a heavy soup broth, the dry version coats springy noodles in reduced khao soi sauce.
The dry option was perfect for me, as it delivered big punchy flavours without the accompanying food coma
orange_tree_au Crispy Japanese Katsu Pairings
The menu pairs traditional Northern Thai curry noodles with Japanese-inspired toppings like crispy, freshly fried chicken katsu and pumpkin tempura.
The katsu was so juicy and crispy, the soup spicy and addictive.

Dry Khao Soi
The dry Khao Soi is worth trying too if you prefer something less soupy. the curry is thicker and coats the noodles really well.
ruby Hu Khao Soi Chicken Katsu
We ordered the khao soi chicken katsu and grilled chicken - both perfect for the cooler weather now. The katsu was so juicy and crispy, the soup spicy and addictive.
Brianna Bridget Chicken Khao Soi
Highly recommend the Chicken Khao Soi or the Tonkatsu Pork Khao Soi – both are absolutely delicious.
Moodaengmimi Khao Soi Pork Ribs Noodles

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I expect a wait for a table?
Wait times can reach 20 to 30 minutes or longer during peak weekday dinner hours and on weekends, though diners report you can beat the queue by arriving early on weeknights. While walk-in lines are common, table reservations are also accepted.
Is Khao Soi available in a dry noodle style?
Yes. Alongside the traditional rich coconut curry noodle soup, you can order a dry Khao Soi where noodles come coated in a thicker, heavily reduced curry sauce.
How does ordering work, and is there a dining time limit?
Orders are placed independently and self-service style rather than via full table service, and meals are served quickly once submitted. Note that dining time can be capped at 90 minutes during busy periods.
What kind of Japanese fusion toppings can you get with the Khao Soi?
Yes, popular hybrid options include chicken katsu, tonkatsu pork, and pumpkin tempura served alongside or inside the spicy Northern Thai curry broth.
