Fried ice cream,banana fritters and fried dough sticks with coconut ice cream and pandan sauce are just yum! Service wise though I found it a bit slow for the food to come out and staff would disappear at times,I found it staff to ask for the bill! And our desserts felt like it took ages! Best thing about this place is the desserts!

My sister favorite restaurant! She kept on told me to go here with her so I made my time to come…read morehere . I ordered Deep fried soft shell crab -omg!!!! So crispy and so juicy inside every each bite has good flavor of seafood taste!! Omg especially when i deep the sauce kind of sweet and lilbit spicy? Delicious!!!! Fried knuckle-nothing to say but delicious!! This is really good crispy and juicy be honest a lot of fat in there but good taste of fat!!!! It's just melting in your mouth. Good and good!! The sauce whatever comes with? Just like Heaven!! I know it's maybe bothering you but I'm telling you the true.. good! Vermicelli salad with seafood-I usually I love this salad every Thai restaurant I go but this wasn't good as what I thought. Because need more lime and less sugar.. too sweet for me and even for my sister too.. but the seafood was so fresh and noodles was perfectly cook so I will just say good this dish too Steam rice-perfectly cook enough sticky Laos sausage- not for me but my family said it's good but sorry I'm not a sausage person but I can only tell this sausage is juicy and tender mean is good I guess. This Laos restaurant was bomb! It was delicious and before I leave I really want to try again!!!!

We traveled to Blue Mountains after exploring Sydney for a week (from SF). We were craving warm…read morefood as the Blue Mountains are a little chillier than the beaches and were tired of paying so much for a sit down meal. Thai Square is right across the road from the Carrington Hotel and service was so quick and friendly. The meal arrived in under 5 minutes which I assumed meant it would be terrible, but it was really great! Good flavor, well cooked and fine ambiance for a quick and easy meal that is affordable. I'm sure there are nicer or more interesting places to dine in Blue Mountains, but definitely reliable Thai food. We had the chicken yellow curry and pad Thai and would order again!

From their refreshing watermelon juice, crispy entrees (my son could not stop eating their eggrolls and their battered soft shell crab) to the soup and main meals. All were super tasteful and well presented. They have an extensive menu with a lot to choose from. Despite their busy evening, you could feel the staff was attentive to each clients present. Easy to find free parking on a saturday and baby friendly atmosphere. Really nice decor which made great family pictures souvenir. Definitely worth a stop, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful restaurant! We visited from the States and the chef surprised us with her specialty…read moredishes. We had the seafood fried rice, fried fish, papaya salad and other fabulous dishes. The smoothies were so good. The mango smoothie is now my children's favorite drink. I don't think we'll be able to find the same drinks in the states. We returned a second time before our trip ended. Must try the fried ice cream and sticky rice mango coconut dessert. So delicious. Compliments to the chef(s), all the employees and the owners. Everyone was so welcoming to us. Highly recommend for authentic Thai food with great ambiance. Everyone needs to try this place out. You'll love it and will never want to go to any other Thai restaurant in Sydney.

And I definitely dislike to be close and make that sort of "contact" to random strangers. Weird layout and design of interior.Aircon worked half way capacity as it was really hot and humid day.

I will go there again, even though there's no option for split payment! Shame. Hope they'll make more improvements to get 4 and half stars from me.

My favourite Lao diamond in the dust. This place is truly a local's gem and my go-to when I need to…read moresatisfy that spicy, sour, salty craving of the real deal lao cuisine. For those of you who are not acquainted with Lao cuisine check out Star Lao as a first experience, you know what they say about first impressions! My staples... Lao 'Som Tum' Paw Paw Salad - Traditional salad dish of shredded paw paw, carrots, cherry tomatoes, dried shrimp in a salty, spicy, sour crab paste sauce. Must get it spicy otherwise it can be a little pungent Lao Sausage - Seasoned with Lao flavourings & sticky rice, again salty, sour & spicy with sour/spicy fish sauce dip Grilled Ox Tongue - Perfectly tender and succulent grilled Ox tongue with sour/spicy fish sauce dip Chicken Feet Salad - crunchy clean chicken feet (don't let the toes gross u out haha) mixed with Asian herbs, carrots, red onion in a spicy sour fish sauce Green Chicken Curry - they sure do keep it literal as this place rocks the greenest green curry I've ever seen! I've been told they use spinach to give it the bright green colour but when it's this good is even gobble it down if it were purple! Grilled Pork Belly - A little indulgent with all the fat but oh so worth it. Lightly battered and grilled leaving a thin crispy covering before it melts away into your mouth. Dishes average $8-10, an absolute steal!

There are Thai Restaurants, and then there is Nam Jai. This place never ceases to impress my wife…read moreand I. We have tried several Thai Restaurants in the Sydney and Macarthur area, with few comparable to Nam Jai. My wife even remarked the other day that we didn't even get such awesome Thai food in Phuket! The place has heart, with the staff being family of the owner and Chef, we always feel welcomed. You can dine in, which is lovely during summer with the massive glass windows opened wide (of course on super hot or cold days they will definitely have air-conditioning on), or simply take away. BYO and ample parking outside (but of course you probably shouldn't mix the two options).
