Why Travelers Love FINN FINN
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This is a casual, informal dining experience. Tables, chairs, and overall environment were basic, with no pretensions. The service was attentive as to ordering and delivering my food. After the plates were cleared away, nothing. By observing others, I determined it was expected the customer would go to the counter to pay. Spring rolls with duck were next level, light and tasty. Pad Thai with giant prawns came as a huge portion and was very good, though the tamarind sauce was a little sweet for my taste. I would for sure return for those spring rolls. Ordered Fried Fish, Spicy Pork and Specialty Rice. The food is delicious and tasty, The fish is cooked well, the meat is separated from the bones and the sauce has enough spice to augment the saltiness of the fish. The spicy pork is quite spicy. Since i have a small tolerance to spices, i need water every time i take a bite. The rice is well balanced in flavor. The atmosphere is quite crowded during dinner time although there are some fans turned on but you cannot hear one another if you are talking. It is a bit popular restaurant in Cairns and i would love to go here again. My husband's wish for his birthday dinner was to have some Thai food. We tried out Finn Finn, and we were not disappointed. We made a booking as we heard they could get busy, and they were. The food came out quite quickly, we ordered twice cooked beef, Padthai stir fry with chicken and Hunglay red curry beef (not on the photo as ordered later). The food was delicious. Next time we are in Cairns, we will visit again.

Probably one of the best Thai restaurants in Cairns! Dinned here twice in a big group, my Thai friends said the taste were authentic and we ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS! The beef ribs is to die for! Also the girls working there were amazing! Thank you for the good food, we will come again! p.s you need to phone them for the whole fish dish. Photo credits: Stacey
