Curries were amazing too, slow cooked meat was so tender! I will continue to go there and my dad, stepmum and brother are all huge fans now (brother even had his 18th birthday there). The staff are so friendly, such a nice family restaurant. Highly recommend this place!!

After passing this place on the train everyday for a couple of years, I am happy to say I finally…read moregot to try Little Thai Princess and it lived up to my expectations. The outside doesn't look like much but once inside, it is neatly decorated with great music making it a wonderful place to stop by for takeaway (close to train station) or if you are going for a dance lesson next door. We ordered a thai milk tea, chef's pork special (crispy pork with vegetables) and a beef massaman curry. The crispy pork was definitely our favourite along with the thai milk tea. This place has an entertainment voucher so next time I visit, I will be bringing that but overall caring and attentive service, staff seemed to know the regulars and has a relaxing atmosphere.

This is hands down the best Thai restaurant in melbourne. The food is AMAZING…read more The staff are very professional. On my second visit, some months after my first I was seated at the table and the waiter remembered my girlfriend was vegetarian. Little things like that make you feel very welcome. I have eaten here any times now and each time I am blown away by the quality of the food. You have to try them if you like Thai food. They also run a cooking school so you can learn to cook like the pro's

Wotta wonderful find at 8pm! I called them for a booking and they managed to accommodate our party…read moreof five right off the bat. Kudos to the chef for a delicious Thai menu: we ordered the whole fried fish (such a delicate dish with a very refreshing salad mix), pad thai, the green thai curry, roti, 3 kings, and the pork belly! The coffee was a personal favourite too this evening - single origin Guatemalan! The place looks very presentable. They have a fireplace! This is about style devoted to both loyalty card holders and newcomers alike. I didn't mind the hot towels at the end of the meal either. Highly recommended and would come back for sure. Best service staff as well this side of town.

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.

Khao San Rd Bangkok - Khao San Rd Moonee Ponds. Same same but different. Different in a food coma…read morepleasing kinda way. Snappy service, nostalgic kettles and a very uptopian decor this place is defiantly worth crossing the river to try. The food here is spectacular. Unlike its name sake we weren't confronted by drunk lady tourists flashing their bits. Instead we where given a generous and affordable drink menu and a tantalising food menu. With a glass of sparkling and a serve of perfectly cooked roti bread there wasn't much more that could have made me happier. Until a mountain of chicken pad thai turned up to tease me. Followed by a deceptively dainty bowl of coconut rice accompanied by lamb mud saman curry. I don't really want to go into details about how delicious this food was as I really feel you need to experience it for yourself. Sufficient to say I walked out border line food coma. Even under ordering I wasn't able to fit in dessert due to the generous dishes. It's the little touches that really impressed. Wait staff regularly topping up water, not interrupting our conversation and four little Easter eggs on a tray when the bill arrived.

Every neighbourhood needs a friendly local Thai joint. Port Melbourne has more than their fair…read moreshare (with about 3-4 on Bay St alone) but this is my pick of the bunch. The restaurant is a quaint, affordable, no frills, family affair. Don't be surprised if your takeaway order is handed to you by an 8 year old helping out Mum and Dad! Everything we've had here has been tasty. Perhaps lacking in spicy kick, but the flavours make up for it. Their stir fry dishes always have perfectly crunchy vegies and the curries and noodle dishes are great comfort food. It's been a go-to take away joint of mine for years now, but also not bad for a casual eat in if you're after a no-fuss dining experience.

Love this place. What seals the deal for me is that they deliver! If you live in the Port…read moreMelbourne, South Bank. Albert Park, Docklands or South Melbourne area, you are in luck Emerald Thai will deliver straight to your door. Satay Chicken and Thom Yum soup is great! The family run business offer traditional Thai food reasonably el cheapo and made with love. Most of the times its the owner and family man who will deliver your order with his daughter. Sometimes they'll even throw in a bag of prawn crackers if your lucky. There is also the dine in option, which is very casual and usually full of locals. Always fine to stroll in off the street and the service is very quick.

I have a hard time understanding just how it took me so long to discover Colonel Tan's. Whilst it…read moreprobably isn't the most authentic thai in town, what it lacks in that department it more than makes up for in atmosphere and tastiness. My vote goes to the fried rice, which is unlike any others in town, and basically any of the curries. Yummo.

Had an awesome dinner here. You'd never imagine this place turns into what it does on the weekend…read more But as a restaurant it stands alone and is great. It's basically just like a cheaper, slightly more grungy Cookie (run by same folk). But it's covered in awesome art, Banksy pieces, local exhibits, and actual DJ's playing cool music overhead. The food was excellent. We got fried chicken bucket, roti with dip, papaya salad, betel leaf rolls, just a variety of stuff and it was all great. We also went through a couple bottles of wine. I'd definitely return, but it's not a romantic table for two type place. It's a fun place to have casual dinner that's good quality food, loves great art, but is also relaxed.

While Loi Loi is far from the best Vietnamese restaurant in the stronghold of this part of…read moreRichmond, they deliver pretty consistent and cheap meals. They also have a great sign (see photo), so I give them the benefit of the doubt on an outward aesthetic level at least. Loi Loi have this crazily extensive menu that covers a whole lot of Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian staples. While the flavours sometimes lack in depth, the produce is always fresh and of the dozen-or-so meals I've eaten there, I've never had something that was bad. But, I've never had a meal that I'd call great either, so it kind of falls into a bit of a no-man's land in terms of Victoria Street Vietnamese. That said, the Mee Goreng (Indonesian?) is pretty good and the servings are bloody huge. So if you're hungry and don't want to line in the more popular and potentially much better places up the street, Loi Loi is a soft option.

And, most amazing of all, it's rarely crowded. Two reasons. First, it's at the southern end of the strip. Second, it's actually hard to find.

Chat to my companion James from last night. He's a magnificent cook. He loves it here. We both almost passed out on tasting the sheer magnificence of the red duck curry.
