Still stomping around Sydney, I wandered around the Pyrmont
area in search for lunch.
In my previous
visits to the area, I had spied Jumbo Thai.
It always has a sizeable crowd of office workers and uni students dining
there and also getting the bain marie takeaway dishes.
Menu-wise, it’s a sort of upper end of cheap eats. This was also reflected in the decor – simple
with a hint of a design theme. You place
your order at the front, and you can help yourself to bottles of tap water from
the fridge.
Soon after, I got a large plate of chicken pad Thai. I definitely liked the large serving size. Lots of noodles that didn’t clump together and
reasonable amounts of chicken breast meat.
It had a reasonable amount of wok hei – evident by the swirls of steam that
escaped as I ate the noodles. I also
liked the nice wedge of lemon and toasted peanuts (I hate it when places skimp
on garnishes). The only neg is that I
thought it was a tad saucy for me but that’s just a personal preference.
Verdict
Food – 7.5
Service – 7
Ambience – 7
Price – 7.5
Overall
A simple, no-fuss place for lunch. I reckon I’ll be back. It’s always good to know where to get a cheap
and tasty meal.
It may be a little tricky to find, as it’s not obvious from
the street level. JT (and a number of
other eateries) is on Union Street which is sort of an underpass. Regardless of which direction you’re coming
from, you’ll need to take the stairs down to find these places.

Yeah, I don't mind that place either for a cheap eat near the Sydney Office.
