So yummy! Super fresh ingredients and very generous portions. If you like spicy food, definitely get the spicy version—it’s totally authentic to what you get in Thailand. Plus, their homemade coconut ice cream is so rich and creamy, it’s like a coconut milk candy in ice cream form

Enjoyed a delicious meal starting with Thai spring rolls and crispy tofu with peanut sauce.
Followed by beef cheek massaman curry and jasmine rice and lamb shank panang curry set (which came with salad ,roti and rice. So delicious and beautifully presented. Also the server was friendly and professional. Service with a smile.
Thank you for a lovely meal, Chaona Thai.

Hubby and I had dinner here tonight. What a treat. Love the flavours of Thai food, the Som-Oo Salad here were little mouthfuls bursting with flavour, pomelo, kaffir lime and ?lemongrass....so good we ordered a second round. The pad thai covered in a fried egg latice also delicious and not too salty.
Super to see Chaona's support of many local wineries on their wine list. We had Elephant Hill's luscious Le Phant Blanc, which was a great match with our Thai feast.
Will come back soon😁

I really like this restaurant. Highly recommend the pork pad kra pao — the portion is generous and it’s quite spicy. The beef cheek curry is also very flavorful. The service is excellent, and the interior has a great atmosphere.

It was a wonderful and memorable experience starting with staters, peach sauce with crispy prawns, the prawns cooked to perfection and crispiness from the fried noodles combined with the delicious peach sauce make it an amazing mouthful. Ordered vegetarian entre with pomelo fruit, took back to my childhood summer where we play with the pomelo fruit and when it broke open we eat the big citrus packets to refresh ourselves, this took me back to those days, mains the green curry and crispy duck both are most authentic in terms of flavour and balance of the spices was absolutely fabulous, especially the green curry having the hint of heat but bearable heat where you you can identify lemongrass and kaffir like and green chilli and herbs, it was a flavour bomb. Finally the gran finale with the coconut ice cream served in a fresh coconut with lime rice and shaved coconut is an absolute must try. The best coconut ice cream I ever had. I highly recommend those who want to taste the best Thai flavours in the town.
