Chicken pad thai
Pragya G.

Just loved this place and a much much recommended. Went with a group of friends and ordered few different dishes- pad thai, pad see ew, soft shell crab, red duck curry, fish ball skewers. And everything was to die for. Prices are alright and potion servings are generous. The place is really busy so must take a booking if you are going during peak lunch and dinner hours. Another amazing thing they have is a little tuk-tuk having amazing dishes for takeaway. They looked really good and the takeaway deal is pretty cheap as well.

Duck red curry - nice

Great ambiance, vibe, and decor. A visual and audible treat. I especially liked the 80's music…read moreplaying throughout the dining room. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive. Good menu with a lot of interesting options. Tried three different appetizers and the winner was the sashimi. Wonderful flavors with king fish. The butter chicken with curry was excellent. Just wish it came with some naan to soak up that wonderful sauce. Cocktails are creative and great. Just a bit measured and small, but I get it. Would dine here again and again.

The ambience was very social. Seemed like everyone wanted to be here as there was a wait list and…read morevery limited seats for walk ins. Make reservations! They also have a downstairs bar too with seating that was also booked and packed. Nice variety of dishes, chef curated plates that were visually pleasing to the eye. The drinks while good and unique were carefully measured and extremely small for the price points. 3 cocktails and I didn't feel buzzed. I feel like Australia is very big on preventing intoxication. One of the few places that had knowledgeable staff and to my surprise actually nice and welcoming. I tried the BBQ Salmon wrapped in a banana leaf, braised beef curry, and a couple of drinks. Rather your traveling or a local who hasn't tried this place, it definitely should be on your radar. I was traveling from California and ChinChin was by far the most memorable dining experience I had.

Had a nice dinner here tonight. Restaurant was quite empty but there was a steady stream of take…read morealway customers. A small place well decorated with Thai art works and artifacts. 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.

Love this little place opposite of the Royal Melbourne. Everything is great down to the beautiful…read moredishes and crockery in which they serve the food. What I always order: beef massaman, green curry chicken, roti bread and coconut rice. I also love the coconut juice as they serve it with a big spoon and big chunks of coconut, so refreshing.
