3.7 Saturday night…read more Unusual Thai food here and we enjoyed it. Nowhere near as creamy and mushy as Thai can be sometimes. Maybe I don't get out enough but I've not seen the like of a couple of the starters they have here. The Chiang mai sausage is a beauty. There's seriously good heat in these and they have good deep spicy flavour. We loved this dish. It's one of the more interesting Thai starters I've ever had and the heat stayed with me for a while after the dish had been demolished. By contrast, the crispy fried tofu cake wasn't anywhere near as satisfying. The tofu had nothing to really lift it. The accompanying taro cake was nice and maybe helped a little. But, there was nothing else and as far as I could tell and the sweet chilli sauce promised on the menu wasn't evident. Again, I've not had anything like the fresh spring roll which is, um, fresh not fried. Interesting flavour and texture here. We liked it the dish. On to the mains then. The Thai Thani green curry was good. The sauce is thinnish not thick and creamy as it can be sometimes. We liked it. The texture of the winter bamboo particularly sparked my interest in this dish which had good kick throughout. The Pad Thai here is a good one as well. A large serving with good flavour. We also liked that the noodles were thinner than usual. The Salmon Choo Chee curry is lovely too. We've not seen this in s Thai place before. The salmon was done beautifully and even had the promised crispy skin. The dish had good curry flavour that we enjoyed. The veggies were cooked perfectly too with some residual crispness still evident which we always love. To top things off, the rice was cooked superbly as well. Light and fluffy just as it should be. Service was adorable throughout. There were three young servers always at the ready at the counter to take our order, deliver dishes and drinks and clear everything away. Their efficiency and politeness was fantastic. The only slight downside to the evening was the bloke at the next table who kept looking over at ours. Like, constantly! I found it rather unnerving and started to stare back til he turned away. This was a good meal overall. This Thai food is different to the customary local Melbourne Thai but we liked it. We liked the restaurant itself too. We would happily return.

There are a number of Thai restaurants up and down Brunswick Street. I've pretty much tried them…read moreall and can say that there is not a great deal to choose between all of them. That's not to say they are not producing delicious food. They are! Thai Thani is the closest to me, so I've been a few times and each time it has been a good experience without being overwhelming. The food is tasty, the service is good (way more friendly than Thaila Thai for example), and price-wise it is moderately priced - similar to other Thai joints in the area. If you are not looking specifically for Thai food, I'd probably rather go to Cafe 58 round the corner. Alternatively, if it has to be Thai, then I'd recommend travelling that little bit further to Ying Thai 2 on Lygon street.

My third time at Thai Saffron was definitely the charm. I hadn't been in almost 10 years, and I'm…read moresorry I didn't come back sooner. The food was beautiful and everything overall was good. If you're getting a starter, beware that their portions are far smaller than any other Thai restaurant I've been to. The Chicken Curry Puffs only come in twos, where everywhere else comes in fours, but I guess you can then still fit in your main meal. I must say, I couldn't taste the chicken in the puffs, but either way, the flavour was lovely. The fried rice was beautiful, fresh, moist (sorry, I can't think of another adjective to say "not dry") and tasty. Onion lovers will rejoice with the massive chunks found in the dish, but I could have done with a bit more refined chopping (for my taste). Overall, Thai Saffron is a great local gem if you want a nice casual meal out. You can hear yourselves even over other tables, and the service and food were great. Parking CAN be challenging at times, but I wouldn't let that deter you from giving this a go. It's definitely well worth it!

When we should have been eating, we were microwaving to get the food somewhere near warm. A pretty ordinary experience. A combination of the restaurant and the Uber driver I'd say. It'd take a lot for me to try this place again as there are so many other good options in the area. I'd wanted to order from Gler and that was the better option. 22 days earlier It's a solid 4. Solid competently made local Thai fare. The basil fried rice was good. "The rice is nice" as the beautiful one put it. The green curry with chicken was lovely too. The highlight of the three dishes. The pad Thai with prawn was good as well. Not inspiring food but very solid. Good on Uber Eats tonight. The speed of the delivery was excellent. Under 20 minutes. Outstanding. It's a 3.6 for me.

I'm not really sure about Thai restaurants…read more I've been to a couple of Thai restaurants (including one in Bangkok) but I have never really been all that impressed with them. It is not that I don't like Thailand, or the food, but rather because they don't use chopsticks. I even asked my friend who had spent some time in Thailand whether they use chopsticks to which he replied that they just use the humble fork. When I eat Asian food I like eating it with chopsticks, but then that is just my preference. This was an odd restaurant though because despite it being a Thai restaurant, the wall had a number of paintings of scenes from Greece, and one from Australia. The only reference to Thailand that I could find (with the exception of the name and the food) was a photo of the Floating Market tucked away behind the counter. The food was okay (though I forgot to spice it up) but the one dish that really caught my attention was the one that my friend bought. I can't remember its name but it was a curry with bamboo shoots in it and it reeked. I thought it was just me until a number of other objections also began to float up from the table, so I decided to hold my nose until we ended up leaving.

I absolutely love Mamanee Thai. It's not a restaurant that you go to for the scene or the decor but…read morerather the big bold delicious flavors, generous portions and true authenticity of each dish. The service is quick and friendly and since it truly is a hidden gem we've never had to wait for a table. Each dish presents itself well and there is a HUGE menu that should be able to suit anyone's preference. But be warned, even their medium spiced dishes are quite full on and may be too much for anyone not ready and/or willing. One of the other stars of this restaurant are the two sweet older women preparing all of the food in the front of the house. They have thoughtfully created and prepared each dish and it comes across in the satisfying flavor. You can't go wrong with any dish here.

YUMMMM!! Unlike your usual mid range Thai food around,…read moreFOMO Thai delivers Thai dishes the way they should be. The Thai Ice tea is a must try! don't be fooled by the simple name, this is not the usual Thai ice tea ( even though it claims to be) it came out served in a small bottle, together with a glass of ice cream , coconut meat and peanuts. Pour your milk tea in the glass and get ready to be amazed! The chicken wings entree is a plate of around 8 small size chicken wings. We also had the pork belly, mackarel curry, deep fried som tum and BBQ chicken. ALL of them were tasty and not one unsatisfied diner all night :) WE'll be back !!

I admit it, I was having some serious FOMO watching people check in here all the time. So on a…read morerecent cold and wet Melbourne night when I had a hankering for something hot, soupy and delicious I decided to give Fomo a crack at my all-time favourite Thai test: Tom Yum. Such a simple dish is sadly so easy to bugger up, and it seems that so many places don't bother to get their Thai soups right because they have all those strifrys and curries to wow people with. I'm pleased to say that Fomo did a mighty fine job. Their Tom Yum is loaded with seafood, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and what I think was shredded coconut bits. It came served with it's own little candle heater underneath so it remained hot as I slurped my way through it, dipping my sticky rice in to the broth. At just under $17 it certainly wasn't the cheapest Tom Yum I've ever had, but it was satisfying and very tasty and coupled with some rice and a Thai iced milk tea, I got out of there for under $25. Next time I'm keen to return with a group of friends, as the menu here is just a little bit different with seven types of Som Tum (madness!) and all manner of grilled meats to choose from.

The interior is homey too, very authentic old school restaurant in Asia. Their pork and duck are good, and their infamous omelette is awesome. We love a good fried tofu so we also ordered that.
