100% Vegan Thai Dinner Asian Budget-Friendly

JR Vegan Thai is a small, fully vegan Thai kitchen at 25 Howard Street in Nambour, on the Sunshine Coast, serving stir-fries, curries and noodle dishes cooked without garlic or onion. Open since early 2024, it trades for dinner on Tuesdays and from Thursday to Saturday. Payment is cash only, and since the owner mainly works at local markets and uses the space as a kitchen, it is best to call ahead.

Final Rating

5.0

Based on 9 platforms ·

⚡ Before you panic: a lower score does not mean a bad place to eat! Newer spots or those with fewer reviews get their score pulled towards 3.5 — our "we're not sure yet" zone, not a judgment. Think of it as the rating being cautious, not critical. As more people review, the score relaxes and reflects reality. And no venue is shown below 8.0/10, so if you see an 8.0, go for it — your taste buds won't regret it.

Bayesian Prior

A "safety-belt" average — it pulls each platform's rating towards 3.5/5 when there are few reviews, and releases the pull as the review count grows. This keeps new entries with only a handful of reviews from sitting at artificially perfect scores.

Wilson Lower Bound

A "confidence floor" for the rating — it factors in statistical uncertainty and returns a safe minimum score, calculated directly from the observed rating so the Prior is never counted twice. With few reviews it drops more; with many reviews it nearly matches the raw average.

Review Confidence

How much each platform counts. Confidence rises quickly at low review volumes and levels off at 99% from 5,000 reviews (7.7% at 100 reviews, 58.4% at 1,000, 86.2% at 2,000): more reviews mean more credibility, but with diminishing returns. Hover over the rating to see the confidence for this venue's total number of reviews.

Each platform's score is 30% Prior + 70% Wilson. The platforms are then averaged using their Review Confidence as weights, and converted to a 0–10 scale with a published minimum of 8.0/10. That 0–10 result is the score you see; a more precise version of it works behind the scenes to rank venues.
