I came here many times. The food was great and staff is so amazing.
Thai Chef is the best kept secret in the region. They have excellent food, great service, and the prices are reasonable.
The fried rice was great and the staff were friendly. The images and decorations were nice and there is a play area for children
Best Thai restaurant in G town that serve the whole fried fish with apple cashew salad! And their crispy pork belly is to die for! 😋💯👌 …
Just ordered take out haven't even finished my food yet. Food is absolutely amazing super tasty 10/10 would recommend best food in Lara!
Having had no lunch, we decided to stop here for an early dinner at 5pm. I was so hungry and the food didn’t disappoint. The curries are lovely, creamy, rich and aromatic. Garlic rice and Thai pink milk were delicious too. Service was nice and food came quickly. It’s not overly pretty inside of the restaurant but don’t let that stop you :)
Hands down the best dining experience we have ever had. The food was delicious and was suitable for the dietary requirements our group had. There was 11 in our party and we covered most of the menu between us, and not a bad word to be said. But, nothing compares to the exceptional service we received. We were there for a 70th birthday, and the most wonderful lady went above and beyond to make it an incredible day. I'm not going to attempt to write her name as I don't want to get it wrong, but honestly she is just an absolute credit to herself and the business. I arrived just as they opened to ask if it would be possible to put some balloons and a special table cloth on the table, and not only was it possible, it became a little sanctuary corner! Please support these amazing humans, i know we will be back!
Our go-to restaurant in Lara and Geelong, yummy food, good variety of menu, friendly staff, and very reasonable price, highly recommend Thai beer, papaya salad, Softshell crab salad, Thai grill BBQ, coconut rice, and the pineapple fried rice is my husband's favourite ❤️❤️😋
Most Authentic Thai restaurants in Geelong. Would give 10/10. Highly recommend if you into Thai cuisine. Genuine recommendation you wouldn’t find other place than this one. Never disappoints every time we visit
Tried the Khao Soi (take away) this evening . It was amazing. Mild curry sauce, noodles and chicken schnitzel on top. Also got the sample pack of entrees. I definitely got my moneys worth and the customer service was excellent. Am looking forward to trying more of the menu
