Great service and good vibes!
Really dope restaurant. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my time here greatly. The owners went out of their way to make my friends and I feel super comfortable. They took very good care of us. The servers were super chill and out going. They were open to having conversations and answering whatever questions we might’ve had. The food was SO good!!! The Thirsty Koala doesn’t always go by reservation, but on the weekends, they’re super busy, so I’d suggest reserving a table.I definitely will visit again. Parking is a gamble. Its either a hit or miss. There’s always parking in the nearby blocks if you search good enough.
I went here for brunch with my girl friend. The food and service was very good. Everything we ordered came very quickly and everything looked and tasted great! The servers were also extremely friendly. I had the prawns and porridge and some fried calamari on the side. The prawns were very flavorful, I would definitely recommend.PS. They also ask if you have any allergies when you order which I thought was great
Great Gluten free options!
The food was pretty good but the owner was so kind! Super personable and extremely generous. After an amazing multi-dish fare, she graciously offered us this epic pavlova!Highly recommend
We didn't plan going here, but luckily our other brunch reservation fell through last minute. A group of 12 of us came in and the service was great. Our waiter Nick really took care of us and everyone was super friendly. The food was super tasty and great portions. Definitely should be your next go-to brunch spot!! 10/10 on everything ?
Fried chicken sandwich was amazing!! Fresh, juicy and filling! Gf had the burger, tasted great!! Fish Tacos were excellent appetizers.4 times I've been to thirsty koala, always great food!!
My wife and I loved Thirsty Koala so much that we asked if they would cater our small wedding and they generously accepted! The quality and care they take in their restaurant service translated ten-fold to their catering. We can't thank you enough, Thirsty!A priceless Astoria gem. From the brunch, drinks, rotating menu...These reviews say it all.
I didn't realize that this was a gluten free restaurant, which could explain why their meat pies are the way they are. Anyhow, I had the paella which was great--5 stars. My husband loves meat pies, and was excited to try their meat pies. He describes them as follows: "it was like someone took a pilsbury biscuit, cut a hole in it and placed some filling, and then covered it back up." He was disappointed with the crust, but if it's a gluten free restaurant then I can understand why the crust may have been different than what he was expecting. In which case, their gluten free pasta is phenomenal because I couldn't tell it was gluten free. They do have kids options, but it's not a menu--just ask the server. The service was great.
Great brunch. Tasty home fries. The pancakes have a lil too much chocolate for me.
