Thoong Thong — Local services in Melbourne

This place is a hidden gem.

Found this Thai shop, which is a grocery store and walking in the shop, this shop has a little dinning with this lovely Thai couple running the shop. I ordered the usual and most common food (tom yum, green Thai curry, pad Thai, and fried chicken wings) and if they are good, it means they have something amazing to offer, and they sure did! The Pad Thai has quite of a unique flavour that catches my attention the most.

The Tom Yum was rich and balance, not too spicy, not too sweet, but pure balance and fresh tasting ingredients. The green curry was quite different, but it’s unique! Using bamboo shoot as main veggie was so asian and I loved it. Fried chicken… yum!

Their Thai food is my favourite in the area and will come back for more for my visits in this area! Highly...

I'm baffled by the great reviews. I ordered Panang Curry, Tom Kha Gui, Satay Skewers and Pork Fried Rice. This food was the most tasteless Thai food I've ever had, the soup was like eating flavoured water and was a complete rip off at $18, the Panang Curry was boring and had zero flavour and the sauce was also like water, the beef was gross. The skewers were nice, I liked them and as for the fried rice - it was ok, not the best nor the worst I've ever had. Oh and the Menulog driver just left the food at my front door, didn't even ring the bell to let me know they were there. Maybe tonight was just a bad experience but I'd never eat...

I find it hard to believe how this place has such good reviews. We ordered a Massaman Curry and Pad Thai through menulog. The curry was a dissapointment. It was very runny, lacking flavour and worst of all the beef was cut thin and chewy - not the slow cooked chunks this dish is renowned for. I've had better curry from the microwave ones at the supermarket - and they aren't that good. The pad thai was nothing special either, again...
