About Talay’s

Chippendale diners slip into Talay’s for an all-you-can-eat feast of made-to-order Thai seafood without the usual street-level crush. Set in the Central Park precinct, the room trades the frantic rush of Haymarket for roomy tables and breezy outdoor seating. Patrons place rounds directly from tablets or the menu, sending out steamed barramundi, mussels, and pad kra pow crowned with crisp-edged fried eggs. Bowls of steaming tom yum arrive beside bottomless Thai milk tea, rounding off with mango sticky rice.

  • Made-to-Order Seafood Buffet: Guests reorder freshly prepared seafood courses—from steamed barramundi to mussels—straight to the table.
  • Thai Hotpot Options: Simmering pots of aromatic tom yum soup bring communal tabletop cooking to the dining room.
  • Roomy Broadway Setting: A relaxed dining setup in Central Park offering ample seating away from crowded Thaitown strips.
