Star of Thailand

156 Victoria Rd Gladesville 2111

This was one of my first meals back from living in Laos. I had been to Thailand several times while I lived in Laos because all I had to do was travel a couple of hours to the airport and from there I could take cheap flights anywhere. Here was my chance to compare Sydney Thai food to the real thing!

When I looked in the place looked empty. Everyone was actually sitting out the back where you can dine outside- it is very pleasant. The larp gai, a minced chicken salad was very enjoyable. The pad see ew was a huge portion with a lot of meat which is the difference between Thai food in Thailand and in Australia. The sweet sticky rice dish was a good way to finish the meal. The good things going for this place are a reasonable price, well fitted- out, larger than average portions . Service is above average also, you won't find friendlier waitresses. I can't really fault this place other than the food didn't need to be as sweet as it was.

Food
  • Larp Gai- $11.90
  • Pad see ew- $11.90
  • Black sticky rice with custard- $4.90
Please note, those prices aren't exact. I promise to take better notes next time. I recommend this place.
