Balgowlah · Thai
We Are Thai
The Balgowlah strip's go-to Thai, priced for regulars.
The local take
Every Northern Beaches suburb runs on at least one dependable Thai kitchen, and on the Balgowlah stretch of Sydney Road it's We Are Thai. Mid-range prices, generous plates and a perfect traveller score at our last check — the trifecta that keeps a suburban Thai packed on a Tuesday.
It's a ten-minute bus up the hill from Manly proper, which means it stays a locals' room even in peak season. If you're staying in Fairlight or Balgowlah, this is the takeaway number that ends up pinned to the fridge.
