Why Choose We Are Thai
Discover why Balgowlah locals rely on We Are Thai for authentic wok-hei cooking, tailored seasoning, and relaxed midday value.
Authentic High-Flame Wok-Hei and Custom Seasoning
Stir-fries are executed with intense high-flame wok cooking to produce traditional wok-hei, while the kitchen accommodates custom requests such as reducing sodium and sugar.
This place cooked with real “wok-hei”, it means they cook with high intense gas flame to ensure every stir fry dish is tasty. We asked for less salt & less sugar.
Jason Oh Tailored Heat Levels to Match Personal Palates
The kitchen readily alters heat levels and ingredient balances to suit individual preferences, preparing stir-fries like pad kra pao with extra spice upon request.
My favourite dish is pad kra pao (pork mince & holy basil-stir-fry) of course EXTRA spicy!
