Pepper Seeds Balmain

Don't go back here, this used to be an awesome Thai restaurant but it has been taken over. $70+ for three average meals. Requested no prawn, loaded with prawn., no rice. Requested strict vegetarian got fish sauce.Avoid this like the plague, new owners Diana's Menu" have upper the price

Nice place and friendly stuff. The food is nice and the seasoning is a bit on the sweet side. Recommend for others who likes Thai food

These guys rock Thai in Balmain... Long established and successful restaurant.Away from the main street line up of cafes and restaurants but still on Darling street so super easy to get to.Great friendly staff very attentive... Food is always delicious with many choices available.Our fav here is the Pang Curry.. a must !Another great dish we loved is the Eggplant Wonder. Portion size is generous. The two of us generally end up with a takeaway pack of LO's for a small meal the next day. Prices are very reasonable for quality and portion sizes.We recommend Peeper Seeds to all our friends.

What a great place and such lovely staffs with great customer service, delicious food which adds everything to give this business 5star, they are amazing and I would love to recommend them to everyone and come more often here.

Very friendly service, delicious food (we had 4 entrees + 4 main dishes) and the atmosphere was lovely. Quick, yummy and definitely will be coming back again! 10/10!

Friendly staff, delicious food & well priced. Has quite a bit of Northern Thai food which I love. It is not as spicy as a lot of people would expect as I would say they cook for their audience.

I’m Thai and I only recommend that this is the best Thai Fusion Restaurant ever!!! Great staff, great food & yum! Fabulous location and friendly environment. I love starters, mains and dessert called ‘Ice cream Spring roll’ which is the best ever, not to oily, light pastry and luscious combined sauces.

This is honestly some of the best Thai I've ever had. And its consistently good. He menu is so great and varied. I've recently eaten at a Michelin starred Thai but it just didn't beat this.

With Moon Restaurant recently reinvigorating my interest in Thai food, a well-timed mailbox menu pamphlet saw me head in to Pepper Seeds in Balmain. The flyer indicated they had a few dishes that extend beyond the usual suburban Thai standards. The restaurant, set on a quiet bend in Darling Street, takes up the ground floor of a narrow two-storey terrace. It’s kept wide open to take advantage of the balmy autumnal evening, allowing diners to appreciate the star filled sky.Inside, low rafters are made into a feature with a metal shabby chic chandelier hung over the long central table. One wall is paneled with wood, while the other is left as bare red brick. The lighting is low and moody, in contrast to the service, which is sunny and sweet.“The mussels we make with a basil sauce inside,” our waitress volunteers when we show an interest in the menu cover photo, a dish called Mussel Delights ($19.90). The resulting dish sees New Zealand green lipped mussels remain the briny heroes against a bright blend of basil leaves, garlic and red chillies. It’s an excellent dish, and I can see why it was chosen for the cover shot.Even with English as a second language, our waitress is able to answer menu queries; offering us any dish we like as hot. “Spicy is better,” she nods with approval at our selection. I’m pleased when our Egg Net ($12.90) arrives with a dipping sauce that’s laden with red chillies that are genuinely hot. The texture of the golden, egg lace omelette is lovely and light; and the chicken, prawn and peanut interior is tasty and fresh.We team it with Khan Toke Lanna ($9.90), a Northern Thai dip made from dried chillies, pork and tomatoes. We enjoy exploring it across a range of dipping ingredients - a cone of sticky rice, cherry tomatoes, lettuce leaves and twists of pork crackling – against the Peter Yealands Pinot Gris ($39/bottle). It’s our second pick (the first was unavailable) from the short but reasonably priced wine list.While the rice itself in the spicy-pork flavoured Lanna Fried Rice ($15.90) is a bit claggy, the juicy green snake beans dotted through it, are perfectly cooked. We enjoy our rice with the turmeric-based chicken curry, Gaeng Garee ($19.90). It’s a beautifully presented curry topped with a crown of crispy egg noodles and accompanied by two neatly rolled roti to soak up the rich coconut gravy.And finally, if you happen to be dining here on date night, you’ll find free condoms available in the men’s loo…

We had our daughter’s 18th birthday dinner at Pepperseeds last Friday and they definitely did not disappoint. Tom was well organized pre and during the event, and staff were very accommodating and helpful. Food was great, too! No wonder Pepperseeds has become a local favorite.
