Chon - Réservation de table

Lovely spot out on the balcony, overlooking twilight Balmain replete with gentle breeze. Good atmosphere, handy wine list. Marc Bredif Vouvray perfect accompaniment to tasty food.<br/ <br/ Betel leaves spectacular, good pork belly in soft pockets, whilst the curry puffs were a hit with the kids. Crisp chicken wafer rolls a bit weird.<br/ <br/ Pad Thai disappointing strange vermicelli, tasteless. Pork belly sweet sour absolutely delightful crisp, yet gooey, really well done. Papaya salad also very tasty, balancing salty with sour and mild chilli.<br/ <br/ But the wait between courses was silly. Almost an hour between 2 X mains and next 2 X mains. Kids were over it, food had swelled, so appeti...

Great food, BUT they have crowded too many people onto too small tables and it's FAR too noisy for anyone to have a decent conversation, except maybe on the top verandah. We have been quite a few times, but last visit on a Saturday night the service was extremely slow. Such a shame as the old Satasia had the formula right. Chon seems to be trying hard but maybe trying to make too much money at the expense of a good  night out. We've been promised some sound baffling for a few months now but have yet to see it.  Having said all this we will continue to patronise as it's the best Thai food in Balmain.

Good food at reasonable prices. Went on a Saturday night and the venue was full with quite a few large groups. Food came out quickly although there was probably a good ten minutes between the first entree arriving and the last. Our mains were delicious. Had a duck salad, fish with 3 different sauces and some crispy squid. Preferred the fish and duck salad great flavours. Would definitely return.

Excellent Thai restaurant!! The food was absolutely delicious! I can't fault anything about the dishes we selected. Pork belly was cooked to perfection. I would have liked a little more roti with my curry but it was still really enjoyable. Only negative about this place was that it was very loud.

Brilliant, a real stand out in the Thai restaurant scene! Everything was still those great traditional flavours but with the modern edge that it needs to separate it from the rest!! Well worth the visit! We will be back!

Great cuisine. Excellent prices. Try the pork belly which is to die for! Desserts are very good. Sticky rice pudding was yummo. A new experience in Thai food so its different from thr usual ho-hum Thai in this area!

Don't believe the low scores this place is great. Not cheap, but really tasty, imaginative Thai food. May have had teething problems in its early days, but no signs of them in my recent experience.

Pros: very interesting specials Had a beef fried kra Prow (stir fried with holy basil - Thai staple) which was very tasty and well presented.
