tom yum tum gang

great value at this neighbourhood gem, awesome lunch specials. very fast service and fresh tasty food. consistently good food eat in or take away.

when i first came to sydney i made it a goal to try as many thai restaurants as possible. after months of trying place after place i still find myself always craving tom yum over any other place. i seriously have had pad thai from everywhere and this place is tops. always packed with people for a reason. the prices are great and portion sizes are generous. don't be like me and try 50 different thai places looking for the perfect one. go straight to tom yum.

its my best and only place to eat thai food. the shop is so small and nothing really special about the shop. but foooood is yum and price are so cheap for what you get. im their loyal customer and just love them

one of my fave thai places to go to in sydney. tom yum tum gang is a great place to eat with family and friends. the lunch hour on weekdays is tops too! $8 a meal excluding seafood :)

we had the pad thai and jungle curry this time around. everything is yum. tom yum tum gang uses the freshest produce. i'm a fan of broccoli, mushroom and capsicum!

fast pace, great service. really good food at affordable prices. friendly staff.

this is one of regulars, we usually get the chilli noodle and fresh basil stir fry with chicken. we also like the pad thai and chicken skewers. super affordable and delicious every time.

tasty thai food served quickly and with a smile. girls working there are very efficient and the food is lovely and pretty authentic (in my humble opinion). bonus is its also super cheap most meals $10-15 and sides only $2-3. give it a go!

i remember when these guys split from thai on wok years ago. it was great value then and it still is today. when she said $10 i thought i'd heard wrong. its no wonder it's packed - cheap and great tasting food.
i went with old faithful, pad see ew, with beef tonight.
so good. really fresh vegetables, tender beef and perfectly cooked noodles and the flavours are balanced just right - not too sweet, which this dish often is, nice salted soy and the side of chilli sauce gave it the perfect kick.
really quick service, and good vibe.
and i've never seen a napkin holder like that in my life! it's an optical illusion, napkins in a drink?

tasty, fast and cheap, what more could you want.

live nearby and have been about 10 times, nothing negative to say.

this place is fast, efficient, & friendly. our favourite meal combo is the pad thai, panang curry and satay chicken skewers.
we'll always come back for reasonably priced delicious meals!!!

i ordered prawn cashew nut but the restaurant gave me a totally wrong dish, i asked for a change but the restaurant said i have touched dish. i explained this is not my fault that i received a wrong dish and guess what? the staffs became very rude and took away my dish.

also before they gave me the wrong dish i asked the waitress for a spare plate 2 times but didn't received any; and i have to walk to the counter to ask one.

in general it is a major disappointment.

went there on a sunday for lunch and had a terrible experience with the lady at the counter who was absolutely rude. i queried a cost (i thought the 2 on the paper meant 2 x cokes instead of $2) very calmly, which resulted in her rolling her eyes and speaking very rudely to me. i proceeded to ask her if she was having a bad day which then resulted in her screaming at me in chinese. not warranted at all!! absolutely rude and would never come here again! the food is cheap, so i guess you cant expect decent service right?

what does one starving foodie and her partner in crime do on a long weekend? eat her way through glebe of course!
this was around lunch time, a glorious saturday afternoon and two grumbling tummies to satisfy!
my partner in crime wishing to attack into some wholesome and carb laden food, which eventually led us to this locale.
this thai grub hub is situated three quarters of the way down glebe point rd, near st john st. this eatery when you walk past it, is always filled with hungry mouths waiting to be fed.
thinking to myself... proof is in the pudding! it can't be busy if it's not half decent?
that sealed the deal and...
well, this place became our lunch time dining joint out of all the places we could have devoured and delighted the taste bud, where you are inundated in choices of cuisine and different types of eateries.
if you want good food and great ambiance... well this is not the place to come to. this is no art nouveau eating house. the decor are simple and straight to the point. with simple tables and plastic chairs situated close together, as this is quite a small place. some tables were positioned outside to accommodate the demand.
well now i know why they were so busy! why cook, when you could eat cheap and delicious thai lunch for under $10 per person. one dish is suffice.
i must say though... i have had better thai cuisine else where, but for this price, who can complain!?
what did we order?
i ordered the chilli rice noodles stir fried with pork and my dining companion ordered the kra prao. i could not believe that, this noodle dish filled me up for the next lunch and dinner. i was in serious food coma, walking through glebe market with that much food in my belly made me feel like i was carrying a small food child.
as for food promptness and service:
the food came our fairly promptly, the service quite basic. water was topped up consistently. you will never feel dehydrated, or is it the fact that... they are trying to mask the msg?
i don't know? too late to think about that now!
would i come back here?
yeah i would come back here for a quick bite, for it is light on the pocket and a bucket full of flavour. nothing outstanding, but tasty enough to return to grab a quick chow.

ordered chicken pad thai for takeaway. tasted beatiful. the lime twist brought on a tangy taste which was a very nice finish. picking up the food was a bit of a difficulty considering the restaurant was particularly packed and tables were positioned closely together such that movement was challenging. other than that, i would definitely recommend this place for thai food.

favourite thai place in sydney, wins in all aspects, taste, service and price!
chicken pad see ew is my choice, comparing to several highly rated thai spots around, this is king. it's all about flavour for me and this hits the spot, not too saucey and not too dry.
great looking place, kitchen is literally behind the counter which i think is really cool and the thai women running around keeping everyone happy makes a great atmosphere.
been here 100 times and will be back 500 more.

food: ordered the massaman curry and pad thai. fresh ingredients, really tasty. unbeatable lunch time value $8. superb. service: despite the restaurant overflowing with people (a good sign), food come out really quickly. efficient service, with so many punters it needs to be. ambience: cafe style, outside eating. open plan and has lots of natural light. nice all round.
