tom yum tum gang

a hidden gem along glebe point road, tom yum tum gang is a no-frills restaurant popular for whipping up some glorious classicthaidishes . their humongous plate of padthaiprawn (accompanied with a 50cm pair of chopsticks) uses fresh king prawns, fried bean curd and bean sprouts. a special request for a spicier version will reward you with a plate of full of wok hei or stir-fried flavour which resembles those street hawkers in bangkok. in other words, their padthaiis probably the best in sydney.

the fried chicken wings are not bad either. crispy on the outside and tender and succulent on the inside. they can probably improve it by marinating them a little longer!

absolutely the bestthairestaurant in sydney! they have lunch special everyday till 5? try their tom yum fried rice and mango sticky rice when the season coming

great place to eat a+++. very nicethaifood with great value. at least twice a week i have my lunch or dinner. highly recommend.

a no frills, localthaieatery conveniently located on glebe point road, which is almost always packed full of people! we visited around 6:30 pm on a monday night and were lucky to snag the last available table for two. 

today, we ordered a green curry with chicken + rice and a pad se ew also with chicken. the food came out lightning fast and piping hot! there are lots of staff working here, which seems to be the reason why they are so efficient with taking and preparing orders for both eat in and takeaway. 

the pad se ew was delicious with a nice soy flavour, and not too sweet. it came with lots of mixed vegetables, chicken and egg which was all cooked well. the green curry was definitely not the best i've ever had, with quite a thin consistency, however, it had a great flavour (not very spicy at all) and also came with a generous amount of chicken and mixed vegetables. 

overall, a cheap and cheerful meal which came to about $22 total. definitely a new go-to, local restaurant!

bestthaiin sydney! super cheap, with most meals costing approx $10. reason why it isn’t 5 star is that sometimes service isn’t great, however this is because the place is also so busy!

had the lunch special, so meals were discounted from the standard menu. my veggie padthaiwas $8.50, the seafood lad nah was $11(chinese brocolli with gravy) and curry puffs were$2 each. the place is always packed and is great value for money. all dishes were cooked really well and very generous. for example, the seafood dish included salmon, mussels, prawns and squid! recommend :)

greatthaifood - tasty and easy on wallet with a variety of veggie and meat options . great for takeaway as well in case the place is packed especially during the weekends

when i first came to sydney i made it a goal to try as manythairestaurants 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 padthaifrom 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 differentthaiplaces looking for the perfect one. go straight to tom yum.

its my best and only place to eatthaifood. 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 favethaiplaces 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 padthaiand 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 padthaiand chicken skewers. super affordable and delicious every time.

tastythaifood 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 fromthaion 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?

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.
thisthaigrub 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 deliciousthailunch for under $10 per person. one dish is suffice.
i must say though... i have had betterthaicuisine 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 padthaifor 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 forthaifood.
