More Thai Broadbeach: The Honest Diner’s Guide
The cosy, fully-licensed Thai spot on the Gold Coast Highway – what to order, how it stacks up on value, and whether More Thai is worth a visit on your Broadbeach trip.
More Thai (you’ll also see it signed as More More Thai) is the kind of unpretentious, fully-licensed neighbourhood Thai restaurant every good suburb needs – a cosy room on the Gold Coast Highway end of Broadbeach turning out fresh, generous Thai cooking for dine-in and takeaway. It is not a polished destination diner, and it does not try to be; it is a reliable, well-priced local favourite.
The pitch is simple: a chef with two decades of restaurant experience, ingredients pulled from local markets, and a menu that runs the full sweep of Thai classics done properly, with plenty for vegans and vegetarians. For a beach trip that needs an easy, satisfying dinner without a special-occasion bill, it is exactly the sort of place that earns repeat visits.
This is an independent guide, not the restaurant’s own marketing. Here is what the menu is really like, how to order well, and who should make the trip.
