Siam thai is the takeaway shop attached to the main restaurant at mooloolaba so thats the only phone number I can find.
Came here a couple of weeks ago for lunch with a friend
We both had pad se eu with prawns. Mine looked so good she ordered it too lol $12:90 i think and a drink each.
The prawns were lovely,cooked perfectly,the dish was sweet but not overly. Sauce and flat noodles were delicious and not sickly sweet.we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Seating inside under cover in the food court or out on the deck.
Will certainly go back to try something different next time we venture out. The girl on the till wasnt overly customer friendly and was on her phone alot whilst we sat eating. She serves takes money and thats it. But other than that we will go back

Approximate cost: $12

Great little gift shop we found in cooroy. Papers,bowls,nic nacs. Can browse in here for ages looking at all the little trinkets. Shop is a bit tight on room but worth the look. I found a few little xmas gifts and was very pleased.

Lovely little shop to browse through. I loved it.
Quiet tho,parking in street or the car park is aplenty so wasnt hard to find a space and go shopping along the whole street one saturday.
The staff was lovely ,old fashinoned country chatting.
Some lovely lines,I purchased a nice dress I thought would be good for a wedding Im attending. Bags,tops,dresses,jumpers and accessories . Inside could be a little brighter but its great to find something different

Approximate cost: $65

Wandered down friday night as we had a flyer in our letterbox that the chef neil was back and meals were cheap. Schnitzel and salad $12 ,fish n chips $10 so cheap,eats

Plenty of parking on site next the the footy field. Nice garden either side of the walk way but not enough light it was dark until we reqched the door.
Olace was empty bar about 6/8 young men watching tv and drinking. Barman was nice and friendly,we ordered lemon lime and bitters and a beer and went over to the corner kitchen and sat down at a table. Schnitzel night tonight.
We rang the bell twice and the buzzer but may e the buzzer wasnt working. Waited 5 minutes for someone to come out to serve us. eventually he did and was friendly enough.
Took our order i had the schnitzel and salad and partner had the chicken parmy and salad n chips.
Food took a while . My drink was only cool and very flat,tasted like cordial.
Beer wasnt that cold either
Food came out,we were the only ones eating,nice serves,salad in a bowl . Chips were cooked niceley,salad was ok fresh but mine was soaked in a very vinegary dressing that was a bit of a turn off,the schnizel once I got the middle was nice,crumb was nice but the opedges about an inch all,round were burnt and crispy. We did get an extra bowl,of chips for free as he said he was only going to throw them out. Another family of about 6 came in half hr after us to order ..
The place needs revamping tho it looks like new carpet and air con. Bit dead with hardly anyone there. They had a meat tray raffle going whilst we were there. Chairs were a bit uncomfy. Go down and have a look food was ok atmosphere needs a lot more people . Seems a good club but lacking money

Approximate cost: $12

Brand new shop only opened a few ago.
Friday night in the rain and we decide to trapse over there.
Shop is great, nice grey tile on floors and counters,white and subway tiles on the walls with red filler looks good. Very bright ,new and clean,place was busy with a group at the big table,we dined in,nice chairs and chairs outside to wait for orders.
I ordered garlic prawns and noodles and partner ordered honey chicken and fried crispy noodle.
Dim sims steamed . Wow everything was delicious and fresh. Chefs are cooking right in front of you.
Very friendly and food came within ten minutes.
About 8 takeaway orders were done whilst we were there.
For my taste I would have preferred softer noodles but they were still delicious and tasty. Lots of prawns and veg ,sauce was so nice.
Partners chicken i tasted and it was lovely and crispy and very light on honey which was nice.
Dim sims came with sweet n sour sauce we ordered and was one of the nicest sauces Ive had from a chinese restaurant.
They also sell bubble teas which I love.
Only thing I can be picky at was the lack of variety in canned drinks. There are other things rather than coke fanta products. I chose a creaming soda,next time I will have my bubble tea.
Parking is huge outside in the parking area.
All in all very happy with the taste and large portions served on a plate to eat in. I was full so asked for a container to take mine home and gave me one no problem. Nice guys. Will return
Cost of our dishes was $16.90 for the prawns and $13.90 for the honey chicken, very reasonable for the huge amount

Approximate cost: $13.9

Ok ,we have been coming to this british fish and chip place since it opened a few years ago and was always satisfied with service and food. We have seen it through name change and ownership changes. Havnt been here for about a year or so and so felt like it last night so ventured on over today for lunch.
New orange chairs outside is about the only decor change. Menu is just abiut the same,but the lack of service and the fallen grace of food ,we wont be going back.
No greeting of hello to people,the shop was empty when we arrived,we chose the usual cod and chips and potato croquettes and 2 cans of drink. Drinks are a bit over priced at $2:80 for a can we thought compared to other takeaways.
No variety like wheh it was fish and chips just coke and fanta etc from that company,disappointing.
My order was stuffed up and money taken out of my acount when I didnt even present my card or the woman present the machine to me ,didnt think i was that close,so we sorted out the order again as it was wrong. The $33:00 was taken out and $17 from a minute ago. I wanted a reciept to keep track of this incase a double dipping occurred but that was too difficult as well so another ten minutes and another customer came in and ordered.
I eventuall said never mind and went to sit outside with my partner and went online to check my account and yes an extra $17 was taken out so I went back in and asked if she could check and she had already and said yes it was taken out but in no hurry to come and tell me to get a refund.
Refunding on my card was also far too hard so I got cash instead.
Onto the food!
Pretty quick ,5 min food was ready.
shop is still clean but no customers.

Sad to say the food is crappy. The usual crispy chips that hold the vinegar flavour is non existant because they are overly oily and soggy.
The fish had no taste other than oil!
The batter was soft ,soggy and stuck to the paper as were the chips.
Fish tasted stale,had no flavour, was a bit harder than fish should be. Cod n chips was 11:60 i think
Oil was just lying in the paper drowning the croquettes which we were always happy with being crunchy and fluffy were drenched in oil and really soggy that they didnt hold there shape. Least they tasted like potato.
Drinks werent overly cold.
Tables were clean
The lady that ordered when I was sorting out my order came back also,the fish was forgotten I think she said in her pack. How do you forget fish? You only had 2 orders.
No one came whilst we were there,did our shopping and shop was still empty half hr later.
Vinegar wasnt the right one as before and just soaked into the paper.
Fallen to beyond belief in our eyes.
Sad as it was a really nice shop we frequented but wont be anymore. Good luck if you decide to try
The place is actually brightwater but it wouldnt show up in the details

Approximate cost: $33

This review is for The Burrito Bar, Buddina QLD

Not,opened long and being a friday night it was our takeaway night
Well worth the 15 min drive.
Medium sized shop,clean,decor is cement and wood beams and fake grass on the walls with unusual chain light shades,works really nice with the mexican store. The bar area is set up with nice wooden stools and every pretty bootles of booze on the wall.
Parking is abundant outside and not a problem. Being friday night the place was packed when we got there. People are greeted at the door when time allows,not a lot of staff tho,tonight 2 servers ,owner and cooks.
We were asked to,seat at the bar to wait until a table was ready and there were a fair few tables inside and out.
Ten minutes and a table was cleaned and we were seated.
Service was a bit thin tonight waited another ten to have our orders taken,the menu is huge and hard to decide. I chose a pulled pork crispy wrap,mandarin drink and partner chose spicy steak burrito. They do,take away as well and have a great lunch deal of chips ,burrito and drink for 11:95.
We also ordered mexican fries to,share and a beer for the man
Food came out about 20/25 min later,bit long but omg it was so good.
Only thing is my crispy wrap is cut in half and one half is crispy and by the time you get to the other half its steamed the wrap so it goes soggy and drippy. But still good to eat.
The wrap was hot,crispy,tasyt,cheese ,pork,avo and spices. Really enjoyable. Partners burrito he said was delicious,and nice tang with heat. It was packed full. Choice of sauces ,the chips were beautiful,hot crispy and with sweet paprika on them I thought,and chipotle ,we loved them.
Served on rectangle black dishes . Nothing was out of place with the mexican theme. Lighting was mid and suited the decor.
Prices start for chips at 3:50 for one. $12 for my wrap and $12 for the burrito. They also,have chicken ,beef
All in all we will go back again and again if the quality stays this good. they have starters,burritos,tacos,quesadillas,nachos,chilli con carne,burgers,salads beers and drinks
Total experience was delightful and enjoyable.relaxed atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $44

Right opposite the beach,oarking is a bit iffy as not a lot on a packed st.
Have been here quite a few times and love it.always cooked right away and waiting times are minimal but holidays are packed and waiting can take 15 min or more
On the corner so you cant miss it.
Clean ,lots to choose from. We had fish and chips,calamari and potato scallops and drinks.
Not greasy,large fish,chips are crunchy,calalmari is cooked perfectly ,drinks are ice cold. They do burgers and deals. Milkshakes are great. Seats inside and out.
Love it.

Dropped in here this morning and bought 2 cheese n bacon pies,quite nice but nothing spectacular.
Pies are smaller than usual,pastry was nice and flaky,great bacon content and steaky. Really nice Flavour but think they forgot the cheese because we couldnt taste or see anything. Cost was $5.50 each
shelves were quite empty early which is understandable.
Shop is quite small,3 counters to see the food when packed,nice and clean nice friendly lady who servd me .will go back at a later date to try something else,because this didnt impress us.
Worth the visit tho . Open from 6am to 5 pm weekdays and saturday till 3pm and sunday till 2 pm.

Approximate cost: $5
