This is by far the best Thai cuisine in the area…read more.. Actually, I'd be hard pressed to find a better Thai in Melbourne, and I've tried. As a vegetarian, I usually go with the red or green curry, after an entrée of either the curry puffs or the Tofu Tod. The curries here are mouth watering, and on any night of the week you'll see the restaurant full up, which is always a good indication of the food being served inside this beautiful little restaurant. Great service, fabulous food and decent prices, expect to pay around $10 for a main curry and $7 for an entrée.

This place has left me very pleasantly surprised. I guess i was naive in thinking that the further…read moreyou drive out then the less authentic the food is? In part this may be somewhat true - the menu did withhold on some famous thai dishes like papaya salad and sausages, not to mention the oomph in chilli. However what what we ordered, everything tasted fantastic, and i have no doubt that the rest of their menu is equally as fantastic in taste. The chicken pad sae ew was divine. The duck curry was smashing. Chicken larb was nomlicious and the satay skewers - wow! For dessert i had banana dumplings with ice cream - for those wondering thats just steamed sweetened sticky rice with bananas encased in a banana leaf - tastes like how my mum makes them :) This restaurant I'm told (and what i have observed when i was there) is very popular in the area and bookings are essential. They also offer takeaway. If you're in the area i encourage you to give this place a try!

All their serving dishes (plates, vases, tea pots, etc) have their logo stamped on them. Oh snd the pots were elephants. I ordered the chargrilled beef. Wasn't sure what to expect since the description said grilled to perfection. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was it grilled just right for me (medium to medium well), the portion was large and tasty. I thought it would taste salty with the soy sauce marinade and over cooked but not a bit. The texture was good as well. The beef was served with vegetables on the side and a sweet tangy sauce. The latter could be the salad dressing or a sauce to dip the beef in. Either way, only the vegetables were questionable with regards to their freshness. I saw others order a curry dish that was served over a candle light to keep the dish warm. Nice touch. Rice is extra and it was either jasmine rice or coconut rice. Waitress said coconut rice was too oily for her so I picked the jasmine rice. Served in a traditional dish, the rice was very nicely done. Service is OK. The cashier (might be the boss) was constantly talking to the two waitresses In Thai. I need ask for plain water, they don't offer either. Very polite staff, then again, I find Australians very friendly all round. Now go have some authentic Thai food.

This happens, sometimes.. to even the best of them.. We ordered; 1 serve Vegetable Spring Roll - 4 fairly good sized rolls - fresh - crisp - but Sweet and Sour sauce was so so sweet... 1 serve Chicken Satay - 4 skewers - impressed that each was a whole tenderloin skewered - disappointed that such a tender cut ended up so DRY on the plate, it wouldn't come off the bamboo skewer - Peanut Sauce was all Sugar, with very little Spice... [and it's a bit tragic to see a clump of stale, wilted, brown-ended mesclun mix sitting at the end of a dish - a confident professional eatery would never do that..] 2 serves Roti Bread - 1 piece per serve - warmed but NOT grilled, NOT cut - NO Curry Sauce to go with it, just that same sickly sweet Peanut Sauce - not a good combination... 1 serve Gang Keo Wan Chicken [Thai green curry with chicken and vegetables] - average sized serving - generous with the Chicken and the Vegetables - good flavour - but, Sauce was far too watery.. like a soup base.. it lacked that unctuousness that a good 'GRAVY' [as the South East Asians call it] can have... 1 serve Pad See Ew Beef [stir fried rice noodles with sweet soy sauce, beef and vegetables] - lots of Beef - some serious Vegetables - more Spicy than Sweet - just delish - WOULD GO BACK FOR THIS DISH..!! - REALLY HIT THE SPOT..!! 2 individual serves Fragrant Steamed Rice - absolutely NO fragrance in this rice, NOR flavour.. NONE whatsoever - it was simply Steamed Medium Long-Grain Rice, THAT'S IT..!! 2 serves Banana Fritter with Coconut Ice-cream - 2 small pieces banana per serve - they were Nice and Crispy on the outside and DARK and BLACKENED on the inside [the bananas were over over over-ripe] - the 1 scoop of Coconut Ice-cream had absolutely NO SCENT, NOR TASTE of Coconut AT ALL - just a big shard of desiccated coconut, which grated on the teeth, every now and then - and what completely RUINED IT, was a so totally misplaced dollop of supermarket bought 'chocolate topping' - OMG this was truly a 'YUCK-YUCK' dish...!!! - I have absolutely no idea what they were doing here... Okay then: FOOD - some serious HITS and MISSES.. SERVICE - very friendly staff - it's not really set up as a restaurant - they have a few tables and chairs - you order and pay at the counter - they bring over the food - you help yourself to cutlery, serviettes and drinks from the fridge - they're flat out with take-away orders.. AMBIENCE - just a basic eatery, hey.. this rarely has any bearing on the quality of the food, but if you're after an 'experience,' then you might be a little disappointed.. COST - $70 for 2.. Yes, okay, but we didn't order anything with fish or shellfish in it... and I've had 'much better, elsewhere, for less'.. Visited on Thursday 19 November 2015 for Dinner with my eldest.

Just that alone deserves a few stars. Inside, the restaurant is really nicely decked out, with an authentic feel resounding from the décor and seating arrangements. One thing I noticed first was the price. Wow, this place is quite spendy for a curry! Expect to fork out around $18 for a vegie curry alone. Add rice, bread and drinks to this and you're looking at around $40 per head for dinner, which is a little rich for Thai. That's said the food is quite good, and if you don't mind the extra expense, check out Poppy's Thai, even if it's just for the front door.
