About Rice & Curry

Harris Street trades corporate polish for pure Bangkok soi energy at this unpretentious Pyrmont kitchen. Locals flock to the pavement tables for Isan regional cooking that refuses to tone down its heat for Sydney palates. Grab a bottle of crisp white wine for the BYO, grab an outdoor seat, and start wrapping Miang Kham leaves around toasted coconut, lime, and peanuts. The Yam Naem lands with a sharp fermented bite, followed by bowls of dark, simmered boat noodles. Regulars cap off the chili sting with house coconut ice cream layered over taro and sticky rice.

  • Regional Isan Flavors: Regional specialties rare on Sydney menus take center stage, including bitter melon, tangy Yam Naem, and pungent Khao Kluk Kapi.
  • Pavement Dining & BYO Wine: Guests can bring their own wine to balance punchy chili heat across bustling pavement tables or cozy indoor seating.
  • Traditional Street Sweets: Scoops of traditional coconut ice cream come stacked with street-style toppings like sweet corn, taro, and sticky rice.

    Generous, satisfying portions served quickly at accessible prices make lunchtime visits and weeknight takeaway reliably stress-free.

    I went during lunch and the deal they offer is really worth it. You get a solid meal at a good price, and it doesn’t feel like they cut corners just because it’s a deal.

  • BYO Wine for Relaxed Group Dinners

    Diners can bring their favourite white wine to accompany bold, spicy dishes while enjoying casual outdoor or indoor seating.

    The spice in every dish is spot on, a bit spicy for me, but sitting outside in the cool air perfectly balances the heat. 🔥 Loved it, especially with our BYO white wine!

Before you head over

Practical tips on spice levels, seating, and ordering to make the most of your visit

  • Calibrate Your Spice Tolerance

    The kitchen serves uncompromised Thai heat across regional dishes; if you are sensitive to spice, mention your preference when ordering as dishes like yum pra and tam saep pack serious heat.

  • Book Ahead During Peak Hours

    With cozy dining space that fills quickly during lunch and dinner rushes, consider reserving a table in advance or arriving slightly early to avoid waiting in line.

  • Pair with BYO Wine & Finish Sweet

    Complement fiery curries and regional dishes by bringing your own bottle of wine, and be sure to leave room for the coconut ice cream served with sticky rice and taro.
