Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Bought takeaway for friends and after reading other reviews it was incredibly disappointing. Expensive, and barely eatable.Slushy massaman curry , short on meat and with rock hard potato.Crispy honey chicken was tasteless and hard.Pad Thai better but with 3 prawns for the price!! I think...the cook must have had the day off.Was so looking forward to this after all the good reviews but really missed the mark.More

Hi Peter, 1. Our Massaman beef contains slow cooked 300 gm beef + potatoes in 1000ml size container at $22.90. 2. Honey chicken, it is crispy style chicken. If customers want a non-crispy one, it can be done as ordered. As for honey sauce, if...More

We visited this restaurant after recently moving to a nearby town from Melbourne. To be honest, I wasn’t sure we’d be able to find good Thai near our new home, however Thai by the Lake more than met our expectations, and provided not only excellent...food, but fantastic service from the staff, including Tan, the restaurant wonder and chef herself. We started with a plate of mixed entree, which included a curry puff, veg spring role, fish cake and satay chicken. From the first bite we knew we’d found a new favourite restaurant! The pastry was flaky and fresh and the satay sauce rich and flavourful. Mains were honey chicken and red beef curry with coconut rice and roti. The food was delicious and the serves very generous, with enough to bring home for lunch the next day. We finished with a deliciously creamy coconut icecream. We’re super excited to make this a regular dining out experience, and we’re looking forward to trying some more of the dishes on offer!More

We were staying one night in Nagambie and glad we chose Thai by the Lake for dinner. The restaurant was inviting and cosy, with friendly and helpful staff. The food was authentic and delicious. It was also nice to chat to the engaging owner/chef, Tan.

My wife and I had dinner here during our recent holiday. We were staying at the Nagambie Waterfront Motel, which is within a short walking distance across the road. We had dined in this restaurant last year and enjoyed it. We ordered Tom Yum Prawns,...Panang Curry Chicken and steamed jasmine rice. The food was delicious and service was good. We will return for another dinner in future.More

We were on our weekend away for my partner's Birthday celebration at the Mitchelton Hotel staycation. On our first night, we dine at the Muse. Then our 2nd night, my partner's celebration would not be complete without his typical authentic Thai cuisine. So I turned...to my travel partner, the Trop Advisor, for a nearby recommendation, and Thai by the River was listed as the 4th best restaurant, not to mention they won the 2022 most recommended restaurant as well. So I rang, and the owner pleasantly scheduled us for 6:30 pm. We turned up 15 minutes early as we were so hungry after a spa treatment. The young waitress pleasantly ushered us to our choice of table, and we got a two-seaters table in the middle to stay out of the cold. We ordered four dishes as we assumed the service would be just like our standard Melbourne portion without realising theirs were so generous the portion was double what we expected. Not only that, the food was very delicious, and it was served out quickly, just perfect to feed our hunger appetiser. We almost finished all 4 dishes to ourselves, we enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. The owner/chef was out & about to make sure we were happy with all dishes. We thank Thai by the River for serving us beautiful food with the best vibe. We will be sure to return and highly recommend anyone in the area not to miss out on the best of the best authentic Thai.More

We were staying at The Mitchelton and were looking for a venue in town to have dinner as we had already eaten at the hotel restaurant Muse. This seemed to be the best reviewed option in the area and we love Thai Food so made...a booking. The place is not large but most tables were already filled when we arrived. We ordered prawn spring rolls and when we were almost finnished realised they were vegetarian spring rolls. We clearly ordered prawn spring rolls and the youg girl serving us didnt listen. Quite disappointing that she did not listen but we didnt return the dish. For mains we had chicken fried rice and pran basil stir fry. Both these dishes were tasty. Other than a wrong order delivered it was a good dining experience.More

Great authentic Thai food. We think this restaurant has the best Thai fish cakes that we have ever had. Restaurant is spotless and the owner chef is delightful. Great menu choices available - red duck curry and chilli fried rice will take you to Bangkok.

Been here twice so far as we absolutely love this restaurant. We’re big fans of Thai food and the flavours, freshness and deliciousness is spot on! The jungle curry is definitely recommended if you like it hot, and you can’t go wrong with the pad...Thai or red duck curry. One of the best chicken satays we’ve had… satay sauce is so good! Try the Thai lemon ice tea… perfect match or BYO if you’re after a beer or wine. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Do yourself a favour and try it!!More
