Overview

Doodee King - Hornsby is a vibrant Thai restaurant tucked into the heart of Hornsby, at Shop 1/25-31 Florence Street. It stands out not only for its bright yellow exterior but for the authentic flavors it brings to Sydney’s northern suburbs. This place captures the essence of traditional Thai street food with dishes crafted carefully to balance smoky, spicy, and fresh notes.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly their Crispy Pork Belly, available in stir fry or chilli basil styles. The pork belly delivers a satisfying crunch with a smoky, charred depth that complements the aromatic herbs and spices. Paired with fresh morning glory or vibrant Thai basil, the dishes evoke the authentic tang and spice that Thai cuisine is beloved for. Equally compelling is their Soft Shell Crab dish, crisped to perfection and served alongside a sweet chili sauce that balances texture and flavor beautifully.

Salads and grilled items add another layer of bold flavors. The Beef Salad and Larb will excite those who appreciate layers of heat, acidity, and freshness in one plate. Their expertly grilled Pork Neck and Glass Noodle Seafood Salad showcase complexity — combining tender meat with zesty dressings that awaken the palate. These dishes speak directly to diners who seek a genuine experience reflecting Thai cooking traditions without compromise.

The drink list is a thoughtfully curated nod to Thailand’s famed beverages. From the rich, aromatic Thai Black Coffee and KopiCha milk tea blend to unique creations like the Mango Sticky Rice Frappe, there’s a refreshing and authentic companion for every meal. These drinks are not just side notes but integral to the culinary storytelling here.

Doodee King’s ambiance is lively yet casual, providing seating inside the compact restaurant and outside in the mall area, which suits groups and solo diners alike.

Had never heard of this and did not know it was part of a chain. We needed a late lunch and this bright yellow place stood out. The crispy pork and morning glory was delicious the pork had a smoky char flavor and the morning glory had a sweet deep rich flavor. The beef salad was fantastic, 3 chili with a nice spicy bite. Thought it was light a bit light on crispy pork and fresh cucumber. However, excellent flavors and good portions, the rice was generous a perfectly cooked. No prior expectations and thoroughly enjoyed. Good Thai food.

A fantastic Thai restaurant, great authentic Thai food, very good prices and an interesting place to eat and watch people around the Hornsby mall area. The lunchtime specials are all great but my favourite meal here is the Pineapple Fried rice, it easily feeds two people. The satay chicken skewers are awesome as well. What’s served here reminds me so much of the style of street food that’s throughout Thailand. Even the drinks and crushed ice desserts are classic Thai offerings. This restaurant has a seating area in the mall just outside the restaurant, that’s better suited to larger groups. I’m a very hard marker when it comes to Thai restaurants like this and honestly this is one of the best. And to add the icing on the cake there’s a discount if you pay by cash.

Loved the food here! The noodles are packed with flavor, especially the King's Tom Yum Goong. The stewed pork hock and mango sticky rice was fresh and delicious, and the Thai cocktails hit the spot. Staff were super friendly and service was quick. Great value for money and such a fun, lively atmosphere, and will definitely be back!

Great authentic Thai place with rich flavours from real herbs! The Tom yum soup was excellent and you can really taste (and even chew on) all the spices and herbs. The minced crab fried rice is also fabulous on its own or with the other dishes. The green curry was just a tad too sweet for me. Friendly service and quick. Just wished they would use reusable glasses instead of disposable ones for water and my yummy lychee drink.

Me and my husband had late lunch here. This was our first time coming here. I love the atmosphere and of course the food we ordered were delicious. We had soft shell crab padthai, variety noodle and mango sticky rice. And they play what I reckon Thai Music which made the ambience more relaxing Definitely will come again when we visit Hornsby.
