The Icon Thai Restaurant

I was excited to visit this highly rated Thai restaurant with my boyfriend after reading all the glowing reviews. We made a reservation online, but when we arrived, they couldn’t find our booking—even after showing our confirmation message. Thankfully, there was a two-person table available, but we had to wait 40 minutes for our food.

During that time, we watched the couple next to us finish their meal and leave, despite having only ordered two minutes before us. This made us question their system and left us feeling quite disheartened. Finally, after an hour, we received our first dish: the green curry. Unfortunately, it was lukewarm and surprisingly bland. To make matters worse, we found a mosquito in the dish. After notifying the server, we decided to cancel it—it was simply disgusting.🤮

Our second dish was the restaurant's signature pineapple fried rice. The shrimp on top was completely cold, and the rice itself was also lukewarm. It was incredibly disappointing. After waiting so long to try this highly recommended place, we left hungry and dissatisfied. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but the experience fell far short of expectations.💔

I came here alone on work, i had an the duck curry and the duck wraps (i know i love ducks too but are there more padas or chickens in the world?!?). Im typing as i have just eatin, and i force fed myself this food because i didn't want it to end. I blame myself as much as this restaurant.

Waited a bit longer than usual but completely understandable since we were informed by one of the staff members after waiting halfway of the time. Some pieces of the pork from the stir fry was hard to chew and one of the pieces, as pictured, was raw and not edible hence minus one star. The sweet and sour chicken tasted good though there were only a few pieces of meat, while the pad see ew was alright. We were not given smaller spoons for our kids hence they struggled a bit eating but we were able to manage and their tummies were happy with the chicken.

the food is so good, but a bit hot inside. The view also nice

Sit outside to get a good night vibe. Foods also really nice with affordable price.

Very impressed by this Thai restaurant in New Castle. Greeted with a smile, food was quick to arrive and absolutely delicious. Great location right in the river path

Our favourite place in Newscastle. The food here is so authentically Thai, we were here every day during our Newcastle trip. In fact, we returned to Newcastle again just so that we can have our dinner here again. Must try is their seafood in coconut. Wonderful friendly service. Delicious food, served quickly. Beautiful port view especially during sunset. Kid friendly too. My happy place.

Quite an extensive menu provided by this business, the food was on point and creative with flavours.

Table service was suitable and the drinks menu was actually extensive in most categories including wines from
the Hunter Valley.

Allow time for car parking in the poorly designed “city”.

Recommend you visit this business on a balmy evening to sit outdoors near the water.

It has nice location with sea view at the wharf. We ordered seafood BBQ and beef salad, but they are too saucy to me and I expected to taste ingredient flavour more. Service is good and thanks for answering so many questions from us.

Food is delicious and presentable. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating facing the sea. The desert is superb. The pineapple fried rice s a must try!

Had a wonderful dinner with delicious Thai food. Their satay chicken skewers were flavourful. The paradise prawns were juicy and fresh! They didn't match their photos on the menu, but still tasty! The massaman beef Curry was delicious without being too heavy in flavours. The BBQ Lamb was absolutely delicious with not being overcooked paired with a nice uplifting apple salad.
The decor is nice and trendy with shipyard views. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious despite how busy they were. We'll be coming back next time.

Blown away by this amazing meal! Every dish we ordered was excellent even on this fairly busy night. The food was fresh, bright and flavourful. Best Thai food I've eaten. Satay skewers were tender and delicious, BBQ lamb cutlets were perfectly cooked and with a delightful marinate, massaman beef curry was lovely and definitely not too heavy (as some curries can be). A big thank you waitstaff and chefs! Look forward to visiting again in future!
