Book NowAbout Noi Thai
Smith Street regulars head straight to Noi Thai when craving punchy, generous Southeast Asian plates that outshine typical neighborhood takeout. Kick off with betel leaves—a crisp, zesty bite inspired by miang kham—before diving into roast duck curry stewed with lychee and pineapple. Plant-based diners get their own deep lineup with Aunty Moo’s dumplings and fragrant green curry, while meat lovers order protein-loaded pad thai topped with a delicate egg net. Bring your own wine for a modest corkage, snag a pavement table outside with the dog, and chase the rich chili heat with sweet coconut rice.
- Bold Thai staples: Betel leaf starters, crisp prawn coconut tempura, and roast duck curry simmered with lychee and pineapple anchor the share-friendly menu.
- Inclusive plant-based menu: Dedicated vegan and vegetarian dishes, including Aunty Moo’s dumplings and vegan curries, sit alongside hearty meat options.
- BYO and street dining: Guests can bring their own wine for a corkage fee or take an outdoor table on Smith Street with their dog.
