Sydney, NSW
Best Thai in Sydney.
Harry's top 10 Thai spots in Sydney score 80–89 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
Spice level and authenticity are two different things. Harry does not require incapacitating heat. He requires accuracy: Pad Thai that tastes of ketchup is not Pad Thai. The score turns on the depth of the fish sauce and the freshness of the aromatics.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
