About Jumbo Thai Restaurant & Bar

Perched on Level 1 of Elizabeth Street's historic Embassy Chambers, Jumbo Thai delivers refined traditional flavors above the CBD bustle. Arched wooden windows, original art by Thai painter Virat Rungpayak, and an expansive drinks list set the stage for date nights and after-work dinners. Regulars know to start with delicate flower pork mince dumplings or golden wagyu beef and sweet potato curry puffs. Mains balance heat with depth—from a fiery Moreton Bay bug simmered in aromatic tom yum broth to slow-braised beef cheek Massaman and rich red duck curry alongside steaming jasmine rice.

  • Atmospheric Heritage Room: Upstairs in the heritage Embassy Chambers, featuring arched wooden windows and original paintings by Thai artist Virat Rungpayak.
  • Signature Curries: Rich Massaman with fork-tender beef cheeks and aromatic Red Duck Curry balanced with pineapple.
  • Local Catch, Thai Heat: Local seafood prepared traditional style, showcasing a fiery, herb-infused Moreton Bay bug in Tom Yum broth.
  • Intricate Starters: Flower pork mince dumplings, wagyu beef curry puffs, and lemongrass chicken satay skewers.

Before you head over

Practical dining tips on reservations, building access, and customizing your meal at Jumbo Thai.

  • Plan for building access and stairs

    Located on Level 1 of the historic Embassy Chambers building, the restaurant is accessible via stairs or a lift, though reaching the elevator requires navigating a few initial steps.

  • Customize your curry heat levels

    Guests can request specific spice heat levels on curries and main dishes when ordering to suit personal preferences.

  • Reserve ahead for peak evening dining

    Tables fill up quickly during peak dinner hours and service can slow down when full, so making a table reservation in advance is recommended.
