Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Poppy Thai Food Mart appears to be a spot with fluctuating standards, though many praise its affordability and authenticity.

The Basil Pork Rice, priced around $4.50, receives specific commendation for its flavor and spice level, reminiscent of Thai street food.

Other dishes like green curry are noted for generous ingredients, though some find the taste slightly watered down.

There's a clear divide in recent feedback, with some lamenting a drop in quality, particularly for dishes like Pad Thai, which one reviewer described as tasting like local kway teow.

However, the mango sticky rice seems to maintain its quality.

Seating is limited, making takeaway a practical option, especially during busy periods.

While some experiences highlight quick service even with a single chef, others suggest managing expectations regarding portion sizes for value-priced items.

We think it's a place where individual dish selection matters more than overall consistency.

Best for a quick, budget-friendly meal if you stick to the well-regarded basil rice or mango sticky rice.

What customers say

Poppy Thai Food Mart receives mixed feedback, with many customers praising its authentic Thai flavors, generous portions, and affordable prices, particularly highlighting the basil pork rice and green curry.

However, some recent reviews indicate a perceived drop in food quality and authenticity, with dishes like Pad Thai tasting more local and tom yum being just 'okay'.

Operational aspects like limited seating and a fan blowing only one side are minor concerns, while service is generally described as prompt even during busy periods.

High expectations however need to manage your expectations. Although a value price at $4.50 for bail rice, portion is mouth full. Green tea is slightly diluted. My personal feel is more skewed to loc…
