Muum Maam

Absolutely Thai-​spoiled! We came here for a work team dinner. Absolutely everything we ordered was delightful!
The best dish for me of the night was the Crying Tiger (lightly seared wag you beef) served under medium rare here which is perfect for me, but for those who would like their meat well done, you should stay away or let the chef know.
The nights special of lamb curry was DELICIOUS! As was their Pad Thai (I don’t usually highly rate pad Thai but this was was delightful!)
This restaurant definitely sets a high bar for other Thai places I will venture to in Sydney. I would like to rank this place «Upscale Thai» as it’s definitely not your quick pop-​in pop-​out Thai takeaway or fast food.
Verdict: High bar set. May be tough to beat!

Visiting Sydney from NY and as a celiac always on the hunt for amazing Gluten Free food. Muum Maam was on one of the Top GF places in Sydney so I had to Try. I would say it did not disappoint. Delicious authentic Thai food, good customer service and plenty of options to choose from. I started with the delicious Papaya Salad (one of my absolute favorites) so I always order a rate a place based on their authenticity of flavored by their salad, then had the Chicken Special which was SOOOO delicious then last but NOT least was prob one of the most incredible desserts I have ever had the Monkey Balls! WOW. It’s a MUST try!

I bet this place gets overlooked a lot being right next to Movida, which is really unfair considering how great the food is–
Very attentive wait staff and casual vibe, also very reasonably priced. We went with the rice paper rolls to start which were average at best (good, but just not $ 12 good if you know what I mean) but the mains were amazing–
I’m a sucker for anything with pork belly and their dish with oyster sauce and chinese broccoli did not disappoint. We also got the shredded banana blossom salad– perfect amount of peanut-​y flavor without being overwhelming and a really light tasting dish.

Quite delicious. A very corporate crowd there, which always loses points for me (soz everyone) but I guess it’s hard to avoid that this side of Surry Hills.
It’s well priced, but the meals are bigger and arguably more delicious down the road at Yok Yor.

We discovered this fabulous place quite by accident, while looking for a restaurant to have our dinner, while waiting for a place at the nearby wine bar. And we were not disappointed! Sydney has some excellent Thai food options to choose from, so when it comes to upmarket Thai restaurants like this one, they really need to bring their game on! The vibe here is super casual with long canteen style tables, but they create sufficient space between different groups, so that you dont feel like you are eating from a strangers plate. We were a group of five with no reservations and the hostess was kind enough to accomodate us, even though the restaurant was pretty full. We ordered a mix of dishes which were all really flavourful and delicious. We had their crispy pork belly tossed with greens and seared wagyu beef which was melt in the mouth delicious. For me the highlight was definitely the whole pan fired barramundi with spices which had a crispy skin and beautiful flavour. The fried rice and green curry were good as well but not spectacular. Though I did feel that they could have been a little more generous with their portions, and probably offer rice with their curries at least instead of having to order it. But that aside, it’s definitely good food that’s been made with care.

We came here after visiting a wine bar earlier, for a main meal of the night. Took us a while to realise it’s a Thai restaurant (Larb salad gave it away). Service is perfunctory, the waitress looked bored and stood around, but the male waiter was great and friendly. In Sydney we are a bit spoilt for Thai restaurants, to the point where they’ve become ubiquitous for take away, so my expectations tend to be quite high.
Unfortunately sometimes I get strike outs and I didn’t enjoy this one as much as others. While food was OK, they were small servings, steamed rice was separate (it’s not expensive guys — give it away), and dessert was a bit lacking in flavour — we tried them all. Cocktails tasted of vanilla when they should have tasted of caramel. The larb salad was delicious, but fried rice bland, massaman was again, quite small and the salt and pepper cuttlefish was not really salt and pepper, just battered. Try some chili if you can’t afford pepper guys.
It could be that the dishes we chose were duds, but I won’t be heading back to find out.

top quality food. this seems to be a big media hang i.e. people from all surrounding surry hills hangs like Digital agencies, News Ltd etc. they have good lunch specials, and if you sign up and like them on facebook they will give you a free drink!
Singah beer is usually 5 bucks at lunch time which is a good deal. i had the pork fried rice and it was mouth watering.
will be back to this place, as the service and vibe is very fun! great food to match it! sometimes the food is a little slow to serve however.

YUM! Ordered the pork chilli Basil lunch special, and the Pirk was so juicy and tender. Service was awesome, great atmosphere. and they seem to have a $ 5 Singha beer lunch special… maybe not today for me though… ;-) maybe…

I’d strolled past Muum Maam at lunchtime and noticed this newish thai restaurant was always heaving with people and having read a couple of rave reviews I was excited to check it out for myself.
What a treat! Everything we had here was delicious! The Crying Tiger Beef is to die for and at $ 27 it had to be good. The Green Curry was superb, the Salt, Pepper & Chilli Calamari was lovely and the Morning Glory was delish.
In a city brimming with no-​reservation restaurants it’s lovely to come across one that lets you book a table — tick. The staff are open to dietary needs including gluten free options.
The only thing letting this place down is the prices, which are on the high side for Thai. I’d come back in a heartbeat for the Crying Tiger Beef — mmm.
