Supports a small business. Delicious food. Decent prices. Good serving size. Nice staff. Seating quality is average. Seating quantity is good. Dine-in is located in a shared community food court space. The chicken tasted slightly off but I didn't get sick so maybe it's just me? I don't know how to describe it because I've never tasted it before. Stale? Musky? Maybe my taste buds were severely off that day. I don't know but I will definitely eat here again.

Not a bad place. Decent food and great price. You obviously can't compare the quality of a good court place to a true Thai restaurant but all in all, a great place to have lunch.

I came here during my break. I ordered the pad thai for $12.59 out the door. Bring cash. The service was slow. Took a few minutes for them to take my order. They have 2 workers on board. It took about 20 minutes to receive my order. The food came out hot and it tasted so good! There's free lot parking and so many cars.

The food is wonderful! I had only steamed chicken with rice, but holy it was delicious I can't show you the full picture since I already ate half before I wrote this review but yeah this is good stuff. The experience/atmosphere made it feel so authentic and the people working their spoke thai.

Star Thai appears to be a family-operated shop that serves Bangkok-style food. They started out with a limited curry and Thai salad menu with everything $5, but recently expanded the variety while bumping up the prices. Still, everything is $8 and under, which makes it an attractive option in the food court as long as you are OK eating out of a styrofoam container. Most of Star Thai's menu bears heavy Chinese-influence, so I think it could be a hit in this SGV food court.
