It might even rank up there for best…read morecasual Thai eatery I've ever had and believe me, I've ordered Pad See Ew from too many restaurants over the years. First of all, I was attracted to the restaurant by the amazing smell coming out of the kitchen. My husband and I weren't even that hungry so we only ordered a Pad See Ew with chicken to share. Secondly, they cooked it super fast - I think our meal was ready in basically five minutes. Given the fast preparation, I wasn't expecting much but what awaited me was the BEST Pad See Ew of my life - such robust and delicious flavor, the consistency of the noodles were perfect (not too hard and chewy but not over cooked to the point of being too soft). There's nothing that shows off good cooking as much as doing a simple, classic dish really really well. We enjoyed our order so much that we went back and ordered a second one (this time with beef). Again, the food came very fast even though by this time, the line has gotten pretty long and the sitting area is basically full of their customers. But you SEE, everyone must know this is the best place to get fast, cheap, and delicious food at the Sydney Airport. Definitely go here for a quick (but fulfilling) bite before you check into security.

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!

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.

After coming to the area looking for Korean restaurants close enough to the Giants' Stadium, my…read morepartner and I couldn't help but be excited to find yet another Thai restaurant we'd yet to try. Naturally, my partner went with a massively sized fish and I ordered my usual tofu & vegetable red curry with brown rice. I was quite shocked that they even had brown rice, as nearly every other Thai restaurant I've been to in Australia never offered any in their menus. I truly wish I could give a higher rating as the food was quite good, and they had been SO kind and accommodating when I mentioned my food allergies and dietary restrictions (vegan and vegetarian options available!). The texture and spice levels were beautiful, and not to mention the tofu was done exactly to my liking! But I was a bit bummed out that none of the drinks I tried ordering were available (they were out of nearly every alcoholic base). I gave it a miss and then opted for just water. Though I did keep eyeing the vast number of bottles on display behind me... On top of that, I was never made aware of just how large the 'large' sized rice bowl would be in terms of portion. Normally a cup would be the portion for small, and large would be double that. I received a rice bowl larger than the bowl of curry I ordered. Larger than my head, even! My partner did his best to help me out, but even then it proved to be just too much rice. I think I'd probably recommend that you call in first just to make sure they're in stock with certain ingredients and/or drinks if you're planning meetup anytime in the future. The waiter was absolutely lovely, but it's going to be a miss for me.

Been walking past this busy restaurant many time and finally tried it…read more I ordered Lao papaya salad, crispy pork belly and Lao trditional soup. The salad was very spicy even though I asked for medium spicy. The crispy pork was nice and tasty. The soup has a lovely smell and taste. The beef could be a little bit more tender. The service was good and faster then expected consider how busy they were. Overall was a nice restaurant. Might come back again to try other dish on the menu.

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!

Vermicelli salad with seafood-I usually I love this salad every Thai restaurant I go but this wasn't good as what I thought.

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).
