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.

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).

I came here last night with my partner and a group of his friends midway through our weekly bike…read moreride around NSW. I had my doubts over whether or not I would be able to eat here due to my dietary restrictions (it's quite difficult being vegan and having food allergies to certain vegetables as well!), as I couldn't find a website or even a PDF of their menu available online. So I pretty much went in blind. Upon arrival, I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The music was set on an early 50s to early 60s playlist, and the decor felt absolutely homey and overall lovely. The menu was a tad confusing as it was split into vegetarian and regular dishes (which I do appreciate though!). I spent a good 3 minutes wondering why there wasn't a tofu/veggie option for their curries. Once I made it towards the end of the menu I just sighed in relief that I wouldn't have to order an entree and just be done for the night with a 3hr bike ride ahead of me to boot. I was having a bit of trouble properly communicating with the waitress and had to ask her 3 times if there were no peas in the red curry (as I'm highly allergic to them), and she seemed to think that I wanted peas included, but once that was cleared up, I wasn't entirely certain if she wrote down my rice order along with it as it didn't arrive for 10 minutes after my curry did, and 20 minutes after the rest of my group received their food. We had to ask if she had taken my rice order and promptly returned with a massive bowl of rice (rather than a single person portion). I felt bad to ask her about it again so I just tried my best to finish it all and had to give the other quarter that was left to my partner and his friends. Even so, I was starting to feel a bit sick from all the food and having to quickly eat (as my order took substantially longer to arrive than everyone else's). As our little tradition, we all went through the menus to add up what we owed that night's paying person, but I noticed that one of their menus was missing the single page that I ordered my dishes from, so we had to wait for one of the staff to exit out of the kitchen in order to ask for another one. Once we were nearly ready to leave, a member of our group ordered a coffee to go (takeaway) but when he asked for 2 sugars, he was instead given 2 orders of coffee, to stay. My partner had to drink one of them since it was simply too much coffee for one person in such a short time. One of the younger waitresses admitted that she was still new, and advised us to ask the other in regards to all of our orders that night, but I feel as though the language barrier and disorder within the establishment just made it all the more complicated for everyone. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this restaurant unless you're allergy-free and not picky with getting something you didn't order. It was such a shame too. The place looked absolutely lovely, but they really seemed to have an issue with either the management or staff.
