    Interesting and different options, some with a definite Thai bent. Everything presented beautifully, service attentive and relaxed. Sat outside during a storm and saw the team move people and tables under cover without seeming stressed. Will definitely be back, probably with extras in tow.

    Great food, not overpriced and a great inner west atmosphere. This local gem is always a winner and makes for an enjoyable night out. The service is also friendly and attentive.

    Delicious food and tasted very fresh. Staff very helpful and attentive. I left feeling a bit hungry and to feel really satisfied would have had to go a bit above my budget. Overall it was a very good evening and blessedly quiet compared to lots of other restaurants.

    We were celebrating a family birthday, and we could not have picked a better place. The staff were very courteous and the service was excellent... The food was not only really really good, but a nice pace on the multiple dishes we ordered... I would definately be going back there again.. ????????

    We have eaten at Phamous many times and love the food here. The duck rice paper rolls were very fresh and tasty with lots of zingy flavours. The wild barramundi was crispy skinned and sumptuous with black beans. Crispy pork belly was crunchy not too fatty lots of beans. The staff are friendly and service great. We will be back soon!

    Great place, it’s always consistent. The staff are lovely, and the food is cracking. It’s BYO, but their wine list is fine. Prices are reasonable,

    Fabulous food as well as great service and lovely friendly service. Absolutely love this place and the people that work there. The tumeric tart and the pancake were standouts but all of the food was incredibly wonderful.
