Gor Gai Thai Food — Restaurant in Victoria

Five minutes to dine booking and was lucky to have seats for seven of us because people were starting to come in as soon as we were seated. At first we don’t know what to order as they’re all look the same and we’re not always into Thai food but since everyone was craving for it, we were all got overwhelmed hahahah.

The service was fast and the waitress that attended us was an Asian lady who was not only very nice and accommodating but she’s so pretty with blue eyes and lovely face! The restaurant looks ordinary from the outside but was nice ambiance inside and clean but wish they have at least separate toilets for male and female but that’s minor!

Anyway, food came in large portions and it was to share but don’t know how we finished them all and we don’t normally eat rice at night but oh boy food was nice and we didn’t feel that we’re eating a lot already. We were so full that we had to take a walk around the corner and back to digest the food. Everything was closed except for the restaurants around Ballarat city centre.

I don’t care what stupidly try-hard “hot chocolates” there are on offer this July - these two desserts should be ordered all winter, people, all...

4.5 star. This has been my favorite place to eat over the last 12 months and I've eaten here repeatedly. Both the food and service are always excellent, with staff going out of their way to accommodate their customers. Understanding of gluten free requirments and gluten free options are excellent for entree and mains. Unfortunately there are no gluten free dessert options (though the thai/vietnamese coffee is a desert in itself!). The dining area is lovely and open but can get a touch cool at times. Toilets are always clean and well stocked. Prices are reasonable for the quality and authenticity of food. I've never left...
