About Taste Buds Thai - Dee Why

Mother-run homestyle Thai on Pittwater Road, pairing serious wok heat with pocket-friendly pricing. Dishes arrive fast and unpretentious—crispy pork larb packed with fresh herbs, deep-fried whole barramundi dressed in tangy green apple sauce, and saucy Hokkien beef noodles. An all-day twelve-dollar menu keeps Northern Beaches dining bills firmly in check, while betel leaf prawns deliver banquet-worthy flavor without the beachside markup.

  • All-day value menu: A flat $12 selection runs across both lunch and dinner, bypassing standard midday-only specials.
  • Family kitchen cooking: Traditional homestyle dishes like betel leaf bites and deep-fried whole barramundi cooked by the owner-matriarch.
  • Lightning-fast turnaround: Wok dishes and stir-fries hit tables at rapid-fire speed for low-stress dining in and takeaway.

Why Dine at Taste Buds Thai

  • All-Day Budget-Friendly Menu

    Diners can access an extensive $12 value menu across both lunch and dinner hours rather than having budget options restricted strictly to midday.

    With their wide range of a $12 menu irrelevant of what time you go (yes you read right, they don't just keep that price to lunch only) there's plenty to choose from!
