About Thai Antique Restaurant

Past a modest Carina Heights shopfront sits an open-air rear courtyard deck where fiery woks deliver big, punchy Thai cooking. Regulars head straight out back to eat under the retractable awning, sharing generous plates packed with serious wok hei. Searing chili basil stir-fries come loaded with fresh greens, while tender beef khao soi captures rich northern-style depth. Tables summon floor staff via quick push buttons, with low-fee BYO wine complementing fragrant curries, crisp fish cakes, and warm sticky rice with coconut gelato.

  • Hidden Open-Air Courtyard: A sheltered open-air deck tucked behind the shopfront offers heaters and a retractable awning for dining under the stars.
  • Heaped Portion Value: Generously portioned curries and noodle mains reliably supply ample next-day leftovers at approachable suburban prices.
  • Dine at Your Own Pace: Tables feature dedicated call bells to request service without interruptions, paired with licensed drinks and $3 BYO corkage.

Why Diners Choose Thai Antique

From hidden open-air courtyard dining and authentic wok-fired dishes to generous portions and on-demand table service, here is why Carina Heights locals choose Thai Antique.

  • Al Fresco Courtyard Dining Under the Stars

    Hidden behind a humble shopfront lies an expansive rear open-air courtyard deck equipped with a retractable awning for dining under the stars.

    We sat out the back under the retractable awning and since it was a lovely, clear night, the awning was open and we ate under the stars - so nice.

  • Wok-Fired Depth and Authentic Heat

    Suburban diners are treated to authentic high-heat cooking techniques that deliver the distinctive wok-charred smokiness in every stir fry and noodle dish.

    Coming from Southeast Asia, I am always looking for the elusive "Wok Hey" or the smoke/breath of the wok and Thai Antique certainly delivers that in loads.

  • Generous Portions with Next-Day Value

    Diners enjoy oversized servings at competitive neighborhood rates, ensuring complete satisfaction with plenty left over for next-day meals.

    Also the portions are super worth the price ! Very affordable, and always enough left for lunch the next day!

  • Flexible BYO and Licensed Beverage Options

    Guests can pair their meals with their own preferred bottles for a modest $3 corkage fee, or select directly from the venue's on-site licensed drinks list.

    They are licensed,Corkage very reasonable at $3 each.

  • Welcoming Space for Family Gatherings

    Spacious multi-level seating, welcoming staff, and rapid dish turnaround make large family celebrations and milestone events effortless and relaxing.

    casual enough for kids to play and adults to treat like home on a Sunday arvo.

  • On-Demand Service via Table Call Bells

    Tables feature dedicated call bells alongside digital ordering, empowering groups to summon waitstaff instantly without unwanted table interruptions.

    a bell push which summons a waiter when you are ready to order. This latter approach has a waiter at the table almost immediately after you are ready to order rather than being pestered by a succession of "are you ready to order" requests.

    The restaurant fills quickly even on weeknights, so make an online booking in advance and request a table in the open-air rear courtyard deck under the retractable awning.

  • Use the call bell to order at your own pace

    If you prefer personalized service over QR codes, use the table call bell push button to summon waitstaff directly when you are ready to order and ask questions.

  • Plan for generous portions and leftovers

    Portion sizes are exceptionally generous, so consider sharing mains or plan to take home leftovers in takeaway containers for lunch the next day.
