Won Dee Lao & Thai Fairfield — Restaurant in Sydney

We tried this little, neat restaurant recently for a quick Sunday lunch and it was a nice experience. Though the place is not big, but nicely decorated and ambience is good. The service is reasonable for suburban family restaurant.

We ordered a variety of Thai / Lao dishes like stir-fried morning glory (pad pak boom), po taek talae soup, bible salad and their signature dish aka sour grilled pork belly (moo-piau). They're all good and authentic Thai / Lao dishes and you can modify the spiciness of the dishes, etc. We like our Thai dishes like the ones in Thailand which is spicy and sour and full of wok-hei smoky fragrant for the stir-fried dishes. The highlight of our lunch were the grilled pork and the stir-fried morning glory veggie, but the seafood soup (po taek talae) was also good, warming and refreshing at the same time.

The best part of having lunch in this place is that their prices are very reasonable and represents a good value of your money. Plus you can pay with credit card with no surcharge, which is always a big plus on customer...

The overall experience has been quite disappointing for my family due to the following reasons:

1. The place is highly disorganized and the waitress put the wrong dish on our table twice.
2. We ordered a Pak Kee Mao but was given a Pad See Eew, when we raised this with the waitress, she unhappily took the dish away to fix but all they did was fry the existing dish up again with some chillis and basil. For this reason, the flavours did not penetrate the dish
3. The Kai Yang and Ox Tongue was overcooked leading to the chicken to being super tough and Ox Tongue was nowhere near as tender as it should be
4. They were super late with the drinks and only bought them out at the very end with no apologies at all.
5. Duck Salad was bland

The only redeeming about this place was that the food is fairly priced, the watermelon shakes are fresh and the raw beef salad was done quite well.

Unlikely to come back but it wasn't terrible only just...

Past by the area and looking for Lao food,we found this little gem called Won Dee

They have lunch specials which are roughly $10 depending what you get. Looking at the menu,a noodle soup which said lao speciality is kao biek sen

Asked what this is,I believe I heard that noodles are made with flour? Don't quote me on it

The texture of the noodles is like it's only semi cooked,not hard yet not soft

The soup base had the thickness of like if you ordered chicken and corn soup from a Asian place

This dish is not for everyone especially if you don't like the course taste of liver

Me and the missus found it strangely appealing.

It's something different and we liked it

This is the only dish we tried but that dish for...
