By the time we left it was packed and had a short wait. Close to authentic but slightly modified for "Australian" taste buds. Does that mean it's not good? No, this place was awesome! We loved our meals. Ordered the pork Laab and chicken green curry. Both were flavourful and aromatic. The spice level was dialled down a little which we didn't mind at all. You can taste the layers of flavours in every bite The lemongrass, galangal, ginger and chilli had excellent balance. If you're in Mooloolaba and craving Thai food give this place a try.

There was an appealing char to the noodles, and the lime garnish worked well. It is a small place with only a few indoor and outdoor tables, but is often busy due to its location in Noosa Junction near buses and parking. I had hoped for more, but I'll let them off easy as it's hard to get decent food in this town.

Interesting experience here that ended very well!…read more With no reviews from Yelp. I had to go to a few other review sites and saw that Urbanspoon gave it a 93% approval. It has to be good, right? When I called to ask them about their menu, they seemed as if they didn't want our business. We decided to go ahead and try it out and so glad we did. My family was visiting from the States and my host father was also traveling with us so we were a group of 7. They were able to accommodate us even though they were pretty packed. You could BYOB! We brought some wine and enjoyed a selection of dishes that we shared. We had the following: Singapore Spicy Noodles-thin rice noodles with chicken, bbq pork and shrimp Penang Char Kway Teow-flat rice noodles with chicken, bbq pork, and shrimp Special Fried Rice with chicken, bbq, and shrimp Beef Rendang- This was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't hot at all. Calamari served on a bed of crispy noodles Pad Thai Noodles with king prawns. This wasn't the best pad thai I have ever had and probably the weakest dish of them all. The 6 dishes were enough for us to share and we were happy by the end of our meal. We ordered a few sides of rice as well. If you want to go to a place that the locals go to, I would drop by here!

My disappointment with this place starts with the fact that they're closed on Sundays and on the…read morelast holiday I tried, leaving me to wonder when they think people go to the beach. Oddly this is not that uncommon in Australia, and it was not all that crowded here or anywhere else on the day I dropped in, and I do not get it. It's particularly a problem here as the area is not as flush with options as Brisbane or Gold Coast. Setting that aside, when I finally made it in, it was a small cafeteria-style place, a common mold around these parts. Ostensibly Indian, it has a diverse vegetarian menu (some dairy, but certainly vegan-friendly). The prices were not bad (if confusing) and the curries basic but tasty. I liked the selection, and ended up with a plate of two dissimilar dishes (noodles and paneer and pea curry), plenty of protein, and a full stomach. Palatable, but not great; I might well have taken them up on some of the chili flakes that lay out. Between that, the general lack of service, and the trouble in actually making it in, I've had better experiences elsewhere at places that aren't all vegetarian. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy there's a vegetarian place near the beach, and I may stop in again sometime, but I wasn't impressed on any level.

Tasty but simple vegetarian food in Maroochydore, tucked away in a little shopfront halfway between…read morethe beach and Sunshine Plaza. Most of the food is Indian-influenced -- curries and things -- but not all of it. You can choose combinations of rice with 1, 2, 3, or 4 things from the trays of pre-made foods on the counter, with the price going up accordingly, or you can pay a bit more for something more special, like the veggie-mince lasagna. Quite a few vegan options, with most things being vegan rather than not, and reasonably priced for the area. I choose rice + 2 options (noodles and dahl), and it was a strange but tasty mix. The dahl was super-spicy, and the Asian-influenced noodles were mildly spicy but not too bad. The dahl was kind of generic, something you can tell has been made to feed the masses, and the noodles had a nice Asian flavor but also didn't seem like anything wildly unique or special. They also have a display case of raw vegan treats and things like that. The atmosphere is super-cute. Nice simple decor, cosy space, and the type of Hare Krishna quotes on the wall that keep things intriguing without shoving ideology down your throat, ha! Nice relaxed vibe, and the guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. Wednesdays are vegan nights, which I presume means everything they make is 100% vegan. Definitely check it out if you're in the area and want some healthy vegetarian food for a nice change from all the greasy pub food and fine dining seafood places running all up and down the Sunshine Coast. Quite refreshing that there is a place like this in the area.

And we weren't the only ones - the place was jam-packed on this rainy Saturday morning and it seemed to catch the staff a bit off guard. Drawn in by the eclectic, casual vibe, the four of us found a seat at a shared picnic-style table in the very back of the restaurant, which was likely our downfall - it was nearly impossible to get the servers' attention without physically getting up and heading to the coffee bar area. But once we were able to get our orders in, the food came quickly and satisfied even the pickiest eaters among us. Nothing fancy, just some solid Aussie breakfast stalwarts with options even for those with difficult dietary requests. If you're craving that shabby chic, laid back, don't-worry-be-happy vibe with a decent breakfast to boot, this is a solid choice along Duke Street.
