Thai Capella Doncaster

Award-winning Thai chef's food court stall. boat noodles and pad thai that earn the drive.

A kiosk inside Westfield Doncaster's Level 1 food court. minimal atmosphere, shared mall seating, and bright overhead lighting. The setting belies the quality; this is a kitchen that punches well above its food court surrounds, drawing diners who come specifically for the food rather than the ambience.

Operated by Chef Pittayarat Senapadphakorn (Chef Mod), a multi-award-winning chef from Bangkok, who brings regional Thai recipes with refined techniques to a food court format. Dishes are freshly stir-fried and cooked to order. The train fried rice is made to a recipe that tastes nostalgic to Thai expats. Weekend surcharge of 10% applies.

Run by an award-winning Bangkok chef bringing regional Thai recipes. reviewers with Thai backgrounds and Thailand travel experience rate the khao soi, boat noodles and pad thai as genuinely authentic. Multiple Thai expat reviewers describe the train fried rice as tasting exactly like what they had in Thailand.

Priced higher than typical food court fare (pad thai around $19, curry dishes $17-18) but most reviewers consider it fair for the quality. A minority find portions too small at that price point. The consistent flavour and restaurant-quality cooking make it worthwhile for most.
