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.

This place is very cheap and the food is ok, not great. What lets it down is the disorganisation and rude service. We have been there many times and granted, this was just after the Christmas holidays, but the young woman serving couldn’t wait to...get people out the door. They had no wine because she hadn’t ordered any since Christmas and there was no dessert to speak of. Two men came in at 8pm and she told them they could eat but they had to order quickly. Having said that, it took a very long time for our meals to be delivered. She was on her own, but her attitude smacked of wanting to be anywhere else but there. She spent some time texting on her phone and ignoring anyone who came to the counter. People were taking their own plates from a shelf because she couldn’t get it together to do it. None of the tables were set. She was actively discouraging people to come in, or stay too long. The food is bland and the portions are much smaller than they used to be. Only worth visit if you are desperate and there is nothing else open in Woodend.More

We had option to be isolated from others, we did eat a little later and avoided Friday night rush. The flavors popped and were complimentary to the dishes. The service was authentic, friendly and helpful. No unsolicited upselling but we were glad we tried the...house specialty ginger lime sauce over a sensible serve of ice cream.More

Simply tge best Thai food we've ever eaten, and we love our thai. Very homely experience, not all about serving perfection, but the atmosphere was great. Felt like you were dining with the family of the house who did everything for you. A real genuine...experience. Fantastic overall.More

We have been visiting this restaurant fo years, it must be COVID-19 but the service was appalling, it took nearly an hour to take our order and get our drinks, I was the first to get my meal, which was very nice but I ate...alone, I finished, it was a further 20 minutes before two of the other members of our table got their meal, it was further ten minutes before my wife got her meal, only after she spoke to the staff. The food was good but our experience took over two hours to have one main meal each and a drink. There was no staff intervention, I will not go back.More

We have been attending Khao Jao for a couple of years. Have always found the service excellent and friendly. We especially praise them given local people job experience. We have never had a bad plate of food and if any criticism was to be levelled...it would be that it is too mild ( you can always add extra chilli) that said it is consistently excellent.More

The food was good but not brilliant. Typical of a "toned down" or "Australianised" Thai restaurant. Pricing was good, as was serve size. A slight amount of confusion as to what was ordered and what was delivered and the wait time was bordering on slow...but the waitress was very apologetic and added a complimentory rice and Roti.More

The place is nice enough and the food is nice enough but when you finish you meal before all meals have been delivered is just not good enough. We were a group of 4 2 meals came out then about 5 mins later the 3rd...came out I had already started eating as my meal was getting cold. By the time my husbands meal came the rest of us were just about finished. More staff please, this restaurant has been there for a long time you would think by now they would now how to manged it. Having dinner with friends is just that not watching others eat on their own.More

Ignore any negative reviews about this place; it’s the best Thai restaurant this side of Melbourne. We travel an hour round trip just for takeaway. It’s a family business with three generations working together to make this such a success. The patron buys all his...fresh food locally in Bendigo and the family spend the day preparing home made fish cakes, wantons, and spring rolls: all of which are a class above the usual mass produced entrees at most restaurants. The prawn and chicken wontons are magnificent. The main portions are generous and, in some cases almost too much - try the mixed meat clay pot if you’re a carnivore. The service is always pleasant and friendly; the ambience (this is a converted house with various style rooms) perfect to suit groups, families, or more intimate couples; and the prices very reasonable.More

The first time we have been back in 3 years, we gave up then due to very poor and slow service with mediocre food at Woodend prices. Having come as my sons birthday choice the experience was just as poor. The moment we walked in...(having booked) the waitress was trying to get us out the door as the kitchen stopped cooking at 8:30. I guess they sutvive as the only horse in town, will be a long time beforr we come back. Avoid.More
