About Rice & Curry

Pyrmont locals head to Rice & Curry for uncompromised Thai heat and rare regional plates rarely spotted around Sydney. The kitchen refuses to dial back the chili baseline, turning out street-style standards alongside northern staples—assemble-it-yourself miang kham, rich boat noodle soup, and khao kluk kapi. Grab an outdoor sidewalk seat with a bottle of BYO wine, or cool off with housemade coconut ice cream layered with sweet corn and sticky rice.

  • Regional Isan & Street Plates: The kitchen serves pungent regional specialties like cha om omelettes, miang kham, and khao kluk kapi that bypass toned-down city baselines.
  • Full-Throttle Spice & BYO: Traditional chili heat is kept intact across curries and stir-fries, balanced by outdoor pavement seating and BYO wine flexibility.

  • Uncompromising Authentic Heat Levels

    Dishes preserve genuine chili spice and pungency rather than moderating recipes to suit conservative local palates.

    They don’t hold back on the spice and there are dishes you can’t find anywhere else in Sydney.

  • Relaxed BYO Dining and Value

    Generous serving sizes, quick service, and BYO wine pairing make dining out easy and cost-effective.

    Loved it, especially with our BYO white wine!

  • Street-Food Atmosphere with Indoor Comfort

    Diners can enjoy casual street-style outdoor seating that captures a Thai sidewalk food experience or opt for indoor comfort.

    Near the road makes you feel like you are having street food. You can also choose to sit inside for a warmer and quiet environment.

  • Welcoming for Families and Vegetarians

    Families and dining parties can comfortably order together thanks to standout vegetarian options alongside traditional meat dishes.

    We've always gone as a family and found it to be amazing—great for both adults and kids.

  • Flexible Group Dining Across Palates

    Parties with diverse spice tolerances can easily share a meal, with milder and non-spicy staples readily offered.

    We had a group all different meals, myself I can not eat spiced foods due to heartburn so plane pork ribs, and rice for me magic, so yum.
