Six months on and Sea Wave Thai continues to make a splash from its location on Avalon Parade. Slowly but surely, word got around among this suburb’s tight-knit community that there’s a new foodie haunt on the block, serving flavourful Thai dishes.

On the menu are nearly 50 dishes featuring a variety of dim sums, noodles and rice, curry, stir-fried, as well as Asian soups and salads. 

First-time visitors ought to try the coconut prawn curry, a growing favourite among regulars. The prawns are so huge and it’s enough to last your cravings through the day. This dish is served in a stunning bowl — the actual coconut shell — and you’ll need to take a moment to appreciate its presentation. 

To enjoy this beautiful dish, you’d have to scrape the coconut meat inside the shell to mix with the creamy sauce. This enhances the flavour and the freshness of the curry’s ingredients.

Take your time when dining at Sea Wave Thai with its lavish but cosy interior. The space evokes the feel of spending a summer holiday in Southeast Asia without having to leave Avalon.

Occasionally, the owner, who grew up in a Thai household, comes out to engage the customers and deliver her brand of warm and friendly service. Amidst social distancing restrictions, her careful approach is a breath of fresh air. 

Follow Sea Wave Thai on Facebook for updates on its opening hours and deals. The restaurant is within the Avalon Pavilion, next to the homeware and handicraft stores.

Really great food. It’s a typical Australian Thai restaurant menu, but portions were generous, lots of meat in the dishes, tasted fantastic. Nice cocktails; and the outdoor seating is cosy.

Very fast service and tasty food – would recommend the salmon yellow curry! Such a tough time to be opening during lockdown, let’s show them some love.

Great food! Really fresh and full of flavour. If you like tai this is really good. Great service, laid back Avalon vibe.
