New location is not great and so many favourite menu options have been removed (bring back Snowy King Prawns and glass noodle soup!). Used to really enjoy Thai Puka back in the day. Lovely staff and food is great otherwise. Just so disappointed that so many great dishes have disappeared

I was looking for authentic Thai cuisine and I found it at Thai Puka. Lovely staff, spacious interior, extensive menu for both food and drinks - just great! I can highly recommend the whole fish. This is a restaurant I would visit once a week if I lived in the neighbourhood. Also a bonus that they are open on Mondays, as a lot of businesses seem to be closed then.

Have been here a lot - with up to 4 of us and with larger groups as well. A very extensive selection of traditional Thai food. Went there Sunday of long weekend and it was very busy - however served very quickly. Staff very engaging and efficient. Have always experienced a high standard of food quality. Atmosphere is average but always has a busy buzz to it. If ordering take away really need at least half an hour for food preparation - and it can often be longer than that - this is probably the only drawback of this place - but it is worth the wait.

Dropped in here for dinner as we were travelling through Albury and fancied some tasty Thai food after the rubbish food you get at highway side service centres. We we not disappointed. My barometer of how good a Thai restaurant is initially based on the quality and taste of their Tord Mun Pla - fish cakes. They nailed this. We followed up with another starter and then shared a Thai basil duck stir fry with coconut rice. All very fresh with the flavours well balanced. Next time I'd ask for the stir fry to be spicier. However, all in all a great meal with fabulous service. Definitely worth booking a table.
