Dishes such as the classic Pad Thai and the green curry reveal a careful attention to authentic touchstones, where fresh ingredients come through, although presentation leans more towards modest than lavish.

Great Thai food I like TomYum prawn and Pad-see ew. The staff very nice and friendly.Highly recommended
Serene Thai Restaurant is a great restaurant in the heart of Cooroy with authentic Thai food. I had the Massaman Curry with Coconut rice and I found out it was a real Thai Grandmother’s recipe and she was in the shop cooking it! All the staff were very friendly and the restaurant was busy with dine in and take away orders. The Calamari was also delicious and a generous portion. The Matcha Tea really hit the spot with a real Green Tea Flavour. I will certainly be back to Serene Thai Restaurant next time I’m in Cooroy!
Look the place could do with a makeover... however I absolutely adored a young red headed worker named Makaia. After a long day of hard labour and restless work, I came to get my favourite Pad Thai meal. Her smile lit the whole restaurant and she was so friendly to me. These days it's so hard to find servers that are genuine. Gen Z has ruined the art of customer service but I could tell she was different... she was an old soul... something special. I would come back again just to have a good old chat with her
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
