Yada Thai

Top choice in Western Australia


Stylishly decorated, this stellar Thai restaurant would be a credit to any world capital. The raw oysters with spicy Thai sauce are a revelation, and the basil and chilli baramundi and soft-shell crab with black pepper sauce make your taste buds sing with joy. Service can be leisurely, but after you taste their specialities, you'll be happy to linger for hours.
