Noi's Thai Restaurant 202 Main Street, Lithgow, New South Wales 2790

"Easily the worst Thai I ever had! Arrived with 3 friends for lunch, place was empty, so sitting was easy. Food arrived all together my Pad see ew was very dry and tasteless served in a grey ugly bowl. Nothing like the nice plates on the website picture. Food was nearly cold . The portion was big enough, but the food looked very messy not appealing. Wanted a cappuccino, the lady said the machine broke down, we thought she just did not want to turn it on for one coffee. Waitress disappeared in the kitchen chatting with another lady never asked if we wanted dessert or anything else, totally ignored us. When we left, we said good bye but , she would not even bother, coming out of the kitchen. Not sure if she realized we left."

"Ate some late lunch on a visit to blue mountains. Such delicious thai food.. the Panang and the green curry was great, the fried rice was perfect and the tom yum soup was so nourishing. The staff were lovely and the service was prompt. The ambiance was great with loads of seats and a play area for the kids (so the adults could get a few moments of peace!) Highly recommend a visit if you're in the Blue mountains area."

"The food was lovely, nice decor."

"Wait staff was very attentive, and brought out our dishes at the rice pace starting with entrees first, then mains, then desert. We loved the butter prawns, and home made satay sauce for the chicken skewers. The yellow curry and creamy chicken had the right amount of protein with healthy servings of veggies. The bill came up higher than I expected, but it's a result of increasing prices (we got a warning at our table) as well as being slugged a surcharge for a Sunday. Overall though enjoyed my experience, the food was very tasty. Great sticky rice mango for dessert!"

"As a symptom of most multicultural restaurants in regional suburbs, the food strictly caters to Westerners and, as a result, superficially represents Thai cuisine and suffers in being painfully mediocre and overpriced. One out of two Thai restaurants in Lithgow, its spacious setting and healthy atmosphere eased our visit to the town. The service was warm and attentive throughout, they gave us a heads up to order quickly as they said they had a lot of bookings. It seemed like a great sign that the food's quality would align with its booming business. Alas, that was not the case.We ordered a pork pad see ew, sesame chicken and chicken and cashews which were all served promptly to us. A positive note are the large portions of meat and reasonable plate sizing, ensuring that we would not go hungry. However, the vegetables were cut into huge chunks, making it difficult to chew and for the seasoning to seep in. The sesame chicken was forgettable compared to its contemporaries, its only distinction being sesame seeds and a generic sweet soy sauce to conceal the banality of the dish. Fortunately, the chicken and cashew did reinvigorate my interest with a hint of chili and the earthy crunch of cashews. Though the chicken for both dishes were dry and the soupy remnants of sauce didn't help with improving its flavour. The best dish on the table by far was the pad see ew, Noi's diversifying the traditionally sweet, delectable noodles with tender, large pieces of pork and a variety of vegetables including cauliflower and capsicum. While everything is palletable, the food here is neutral and remains stagnant with the fear of not suiting rural tastes. I don't doubt their culinary skill or background but perhaps some Thai excitement and spice could really make a difference in sleepy Lithgow!"
