Love this place. Their food is so good. Reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and helpful and service is great. If you want authentic tasting thai food where spice and flavour are not toned down and reflective of what you would find in thailand then this is definitely a place to try.

Fantastic Thai food and good servings this place looks a little dated but has charm to it. The pork belly and fried rice were the winner dishes. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

🇹🇭 After all this time, I still find myself discovering new Thai dishes - and weirdly enough in 🦘Australia not Thailand. Makes sense, because my go-to if I’m in Bangkok would be to go to the usual haunts and tend towards Isaan dishes. There are many Thai eateries in Sydney’s “Thaitown” including good Isaan food (eg. Nua Lao Thai Kitchen) but Caysorn stood out for me specializing in Southern Thailand fare from Phattalung. When you look all around you in a Thai restaurant and all you see are Thai people, you know you’ve found “the” spot! The sour fish curry aka Gaeng Som Pla, was a fiery tamarind fish curry paired with crunchy sour papaya that soaks in the sauce leaving your tongue numbed from spiciness after you bite into it. Super yums it’s like Malaysian assam fish curry but yet totally different. Their sautéed southern green leaves was a unique vegetable that had to be imported from Thailand, and rarely found anywhere else - nice crunch with texture and flavour reminiscent of seaweed. I rarely order Tom Yum anymore, usually preferring Tom Saap anytime but made an exception - Caysorn’s Tom Yum looks simple and plain but full of complex flavours and as authentic as one will find it in Thailand. 😋

Caysorn - Thai Southern food isn’t new. It’s been a balcony stalwart on the first floor of the Prince Centre for nearly 15 years. What’s even more remarkable than its longevity in a climate where even good restaurants close down, is across this period, it has stayed true to its owner’s vision. After migrating here in 1973, Chalio Tongsinoon, wanted to serve us the spicy and flavoursome southern Thai cuisine we were lacking. Despite being told dishes like kanom jeen (soft fermented rice noodles served with fish-based curry sauce and fresh vegetables) wouldn’t work in Sydney, six variations on this dish are still on Caysorn’s menu today. We opt for kanom jeen nam ya kati ($17.90) where the curry sauce poured over loops of noodles is blended with flathead, coconut milk and kaffir lime. Load up on fresh and pickled vegetables at the restaurant’s salad bar to enjoy with this tasty and quite spicy dish. There’s also a DIY element to the miang goong ($26.90) with betel leaves passed separately to the mound of Thai salad. Here you’ll be dodging scud chillies in the slightly sweet mountain of crisp school prawns, lemongrass, ginger, shallots, toasted coconuts, and ground shrimp, to wrap your own. Nahm prik kapi ($24.90) is an omelette made with a leafy fern we consider an invasive plant. It’s mild and easy to eat with a small amount of spicy shrimp paste. Super sweet floor staff did gently try to dissuade us from ordering the jungle curry with red spot whiting ($26.90). Listed on the menu with three chillies, it’s a ballistically hot collection of Thai eggplants, holy basil and fillets of whiting. There’s a reason there’s an ice cream cart in the centre of this colourful space. I resort to taking pinches of the sticky rice that came in a set ($24.90) with spongey grilled pork jowl and papaya salad (which was also hot). While this restaurant kicked my butt, I loved its unapologetic, punchy Southern Thai cuisine. They also allow BYO ($3.50/person) but good wine is probably wasted against such lively cuisine.

Great place to come with a family for a meal. Plenty of good options and the food tasted great. The service can be a bit hit or miss, but they were quite busy.
