Owner has a very bubbly and outgoing personality. Small family owned business, so atmosphere is warm and cosy. Food is very authentically Thai, home cooked style. We loved the green curry beef, pad Thai and stir fry vege dishes. Portions are also very generous. Would definitely recommend!

Hands down the best chicken cashew nut I've had since living in Thailand. The pad thai and pad see ewe were also perfectly seasoned and had brilliant flavours. Outdoor seating is dog friendly.

Authentic Thai Experience in the Heart of Vincentia! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nana on the Bay Thai Restaurant is a hidden gem in Vincentia and an absolute must-visit if you're anywhere near the Jervis Bay area. The location is super convenient, and the atmosphere inside is warm, cozy, and welcoming. The food is truly authentic – full of rich flavours and cooked with love.

What makes the experience even better is the friendly and attentive service from the owner and staff. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. Another huge plus – they offer halal options, which is great for families looking for diverse dietary choices. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Thai cuisine in a relaxing, homely environment.

A lovely restaurant run by the sweetest couple—we had such a great chat with them! The food (we ordered green curry chicken and basil chilli chicken) were absolutely delicious with generous portions, and the whole place gave off a warm, homey vibe. Such a memorable and heartwarming experience!

Went for Dinner with Family on Friday 8/11/24. Dave was a great host joking around and constantly being engaged with our night. The food was amazing and critical aspect was it being halal. He informed us about the Halal certificate displayed on his shop window as well as the avoidance of cross contamination through separate woks used to cook. Would like to thank Dave for his hospitality and a great dinner! Recommend for all :)

Overall delicious food and super friendly service by the owners! Highly recommend their duck pad see ew, red duck curry and pork larb salad. However some of the BBQ beef (crying tiger) was too firm, the pineapple fried rice lacked in pineapple flavour and was on the greasier side, and the pad see ew could've used more soy sauce. Regardless, would absolutely visit again
