Finding authentic Thai restaurants around Brisbane can be hard but we’ve managed to compile some of CBD inner-city Thai places that you really must try today!

1. Pochana

Where: 163, Elizabeth St, Brisbane City
Menu: menulog.com.au, deliveroo.com.au
Opening: Monday to Sunday, 11 am - 2:45 pm, 5 pm - 1 am (Fri - Sat 2 am)

Pochana is a large restaurant decked out to make diners feel as though they are in the streets of Thailand. Every detail has been carefully selected to recreate the hustling and bustling of the Thai ambience. To come full circle, they also provide live music on most evenings.

The restaurant serves lunch, dinner and drinks with and heaps of options to choose from on their menu. Often diners visit Pochana for drinks with a few snacks on the side, as their drinks menu is quite bespoke – serving ginormous cocktails like the Chill Chill which serves 3-4 guests or other cocktails like Kamikaze Volcano.

2. Malee Made in Thailand

Where: Shop 2/38 Wharf St, Brisbane
Menu: menulog.com.au, deliveroo.com.au
Opening: Monday to Sunday, 11 am - 8:30 pm

To differentiate Malee Made in Thailand to other Thai restaurant is how they combine authentic taste with healthy ingredients together by using the sous-vide technique to keep all the protein tender and ingredients fresh to push the taste to the level that you will not be disappointed.

Not just their special technique that gets the attention but also the realness of you being involved in the making process with their char-grilled BBQ option. It may seem like a change in technique but their atmosphere will still bring you back as if you're actually in Thailand.

3. Kinn Imm

Where: Queens Plaza (LG floor, near David Jones)
Menu: kinnimm.com.au
Opening: Monday to Sunday, 11 am-9 pm

Kinn Imm is another gem of a place for Thai food lovers, especially if you want something quick and easy but keep in mind of the lunch crowd as everyone wants a taste of their lunch deals! The simple, casual liveliness of their Thai cooking smells and an old Bangkok style shop interior is what draws foodie lovers to enjoy the full package. The imagery that they provide takes others back down memory lane such as a young girl in the front window cooking crispy sweet dessert pancakes.
