Mod Thai (Nelson Bay)
Mod Thai Food & Noodle Bar
A local Thai restaurant that has run in Nelson Bay for nearly 20 years, offering generous portions at good prices; BYO wine is allowed.
Located in the cinema shopping centre on Stockton Street in central Nelson Bay (Shop 12). The brand also has a branch in Shoal Bay, but this listing covers the Nelson Bay outlet. The atmosphere is relaxed, with dine-in (BYO wine allowed), takeaway and delivery, and vegetarian and gluten-free options. Popular orders include Thai stir-fried rice noodles, green curry, massaman beef curry and Penang curry, and weekday lunch offers good value. Reviews are mostly positive, though some mention flavours that run sweet, inconsistent dishes and long waits at busy times. Around AUD 25–40 per person. Parking nearby is tight.
