Joe’s Table

Joe Kitsana, the chef and owner of Joe's Table in Darlo, Sydney, has been operating his restaurant since moving to the current location about two years ago. Prior to this, Kitsana worked as a chef, waiter, and sommelier at various establishments like Longrain, Sailor’s Thai, and Phamish before finding his own space. The latest expansion includes more room and an assistant in the kitchen, allowing him to provide a more personal dining experience where customers can bring their own wine for a $5.50 per person fee or opt for the restaurant's affordable wine list. Kitsana's menu features dishes that evoke nostalgia for traditional suburban Thai cuisine but with high-quality ingredients and preparation, such as crunchy spring rolls, light fish cakes, spicy jungle curry, and sweet-chilli crab sauce. The restaurant also serves a Greek walnut cake recipe provided by long-time friend Janni Kyritsis. Joe's Table is praised for offering authentic Sydney Thai food with exceptional care from the owner.
