Star of Siam

We had dinner at Star of Siam twice while we were on a 4 night short break to Tassie. The last time I'd been there was more twelve years ago and I swear the place hasn't changed. The jungle curry was divine - full of herbs and spices but not 'over the top' hot - just very clever balancing of flavours. The green chicken curry and pad thai didn't disappoint! The satay chicken skewers, mixed entree and tom yum soup were welcome ways to begin our meals, too. Highly recommended!

My green curry was just perfect! Not too spicy, which I loved. The staff are very friendly and happy. Everyone is wearing a smile. The restaurant was full, so obviously a popular place.

Delicious dinner while we were on holiday from Melbourne in Launceston. A very busy restaurant. Highlight of the night was the Mango Sticky Rice. Thank you for a delicious meal and a memorable dessert! Yum.

Authentic Thai Delight During our recent visit to this cozy Thai restaurant, we were delighted by the authenticity and bold flavors of each dish. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and the inviting aroma of Thai spices set the perfect tone for an enjoyable dining experience. The Dishes We Ordered 1. Warm Tofu & Vegetable Salad – This was a pleasant surprise! Unlike the usual cold salads, this warm version added a comforting touch to the fresh vegetables and soft tofu. The dressing was well-balanced, combining tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy notes that enhanced the overall taste. 2. Sweet and Sour Beef Stir-Fry – The beef was cooked to perfection, tender yet slightly crispy on the edges. The sweet and sour sauce had a great balance of flavors, not overly sweet nor too tangy, just the right amount to make every bite irresistible. The addition of fresh bell peppers and onions brought a delightful crunch, complementing the tender meat beautifully. 3. Pad Thai with Chicken – A must-try classic! The noodles were cooked just right, not too soft nor too chewy. The sauce had a rich, authentic tamarind base, giving it a balanced sweet, sour, and savory taste. The chicken was well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the crushed peanuts and fresh lime, adding layers of texture and flavor. Our Verdict - We’re giving this restaurant a solid 9 out of 10! The flavors were true to traditional Thai cuisine, staying authentic while also catering to local palates. The quality of the ingredients, the balance of flavors, and the thoughtful presentation made our meal truly enjoyable. The only reason we held back from a perfect score was that we always believe there’s room for a little extra magic. If you’re looking for an authentic Thai dining experience, this place is definitely worth a visit. Great food, warm ambiance, and a genuine taste of Thailand—what more could you ask for?

Very good service and authentic Thai food. We are very enjoy for our dinner. Recommend for ppl to this restaurant. Will be good if you put a bit more portion of the dishes for the value of the price. Everything is all good.

The food is delicious and the environment is peaceful with relaxing background music. We highly recommend trying the food we had that night.

Authentic Thai Flavors nice but service slow not their fault as they have new staff You want Thai then you go here I had other dishes but so tasty sorry no pics but next time i do

Tasty Thai and great service! We were greeted instantly and taken to a table in a ‘quiet’ corner as there was a table of 10 in the centre. Note: I really love it when restaurants do this as opposed to seating everyone on top of each other so it’s easier for them to serve us! We ordered the Basil Lamb and Pad Si-Eww with Chicken and Coconut Rice and the dishes all came out quickly. Every dish was super tasty and we really couldn’t pick a favourite as they were all so delicious. We also loved that they listed take away containers on the menu, another plus so you don’t have to worry if you over order. Would definitely recommend this restaurant - with attentive staff and great food I know that we’ll be back!

I came here with my girlfriend of 6.4 years and immediately upon crossing the threshold the first thing we noticed, as our intertwined hands made their way from down at our sides to covering our respective agape mouths, was the smell. This place smells like what I imagine Buddha's tomb smells like, in the best of ways. Yum yum. I ordered the chicken Panang curry with a side of jasmine rice, it was trill. No, it was sooo trill. My girlfriend, Jensica, in case you wanted to now her name is an Instagram model and she ordered the pad see yu because she's watching her figure. I didn't ask her but I'm sure hers was trill as well. You see, Jensica and I aren't on speaking terms as of late because I forgot to separate the compost from the rest of the plant based paper products in the rubbish bin. The Star of Siam was an amazing restaurant nonetheless. Highly recommend.
