Suwan Thai Restaurant, 2 33 Salamanca Place, Hobart

People who know good Thai will be disappointed. Average at best.

Overpriced, small servings, very average food. Highly unimpressed. $28 for a small bowl of curry, with very little meat and without rice. $27 for 2 chicken thighs stir fried in too much oil served on a small pile of shredded lettuce with 1 slice of tomato. both meals served on entree sized plates. 3 scallops for $12. I mean come on. There are so many better places to eat for less than half the price. We will not be going back.

Staff are nice and food is great. What more can you ask for?

This was my first foray into Thai food, and I was impressed! Ordered the Pad Thai for $12.90 and was amazed at the massive pile of food that I could barely finish. Highly recommend!

Suwan's menu is extensive, tasty and always great, but when dining there last weekend we ended up leaving earlier than we normally would as we half froze while having our lovely meal. Part of the restaurant is above an arcade which is open to outside, so on a winter's night it is not very comfortable sitting out there. They have some portable heaters, when we asked the waitress if we could have one she came back and said "we have a heater, but no powerpoint, do you still want the heater?" (!!!). Well worth it for the food, but if you feel the chill better to ask for a table inside or avoid over winter! 4 star for food, 2 star for comfort.
