ถั่วทอง TuaThong Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

We dined here last night. What a disappointing experience.

Portion sizes were small and curry/gravy to meat veg proportion was very less. Entrees.... Wantons, expensive for the serve size. Fish Cakes were very good.

Mains...The Massaman Beef curry was very watery and not full flavoured....have had way better Massaman curry. Very less curry so it felt dry. The Crispy pork stir fry was a very small serving. It came in a very small side plate. The stir fry and curry come first and we wait for our rice which takes ages to come. We have to try very hard to get their attention to ask for it. It finally arrives and the Pad Sew comes way after. Noodles were ok. Serving sizes on other tables looked bigger than what we received. We wanted more rice so this time I went up to the counter and asked for another serve. And then it was a waiting game. We waited and waited. Staff saw us but just seemed to ignore us. I asked for our rice but she went in and came out empty handed. Asked again in few minutes and same reaction. Finally when we had finished eating they get the rice. The Coconut rice was very odd tasting. Both the servings had this white coconut milk/cream through it. Very strong taste.

NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER. We had to get their attention for taking the order, receiving our food and for anything else. Maybe we came on a wrong day but based on my experience I will not be coming back nor can I recommend...

V ถั่วทอง TuaThong Thai Restaurant Manager, I am writing to report a very disappointing experience my daughter and I had after dining at your restaurant yesterday. We ordered many dishes for the whole family. We ordered the barramundi fish, for my daughter and I which was significantly overcooked and lacked flavor. The cost was approximately $32.

Shortly after returning home, we both became severely ill with diarrhea and foul-tasting acid reflux, which continued throughout the night. We had to use various home remedies to cope. Earlier today, I called the restaurant to inform your staff about the situation. The person I spoke with seemed to have trouble with the English language and told me that someone else would call me back. It has now been six hours and I have not heard from anyone. This is a very upsetting and serious matter. I expect a prompt and appropriate response regarding this...

I’m always craving Thai food, and this place hits the spot every single time. The food is honestly so good – perfect for a chill dinner with friends or family. It’s cozy, welcoming, and just has that nice vibe that makes you want to come back.

Some of my top go-to dishes are the Tom Yum, Pad See Eew, Som Tum, Grilled Pork Neck, and Pla Rad Prik – all packed with flavour and clearly made with care. You can really tell they cook with love. And of course, I can’t forget Leo Beer (my favourite Thai beer!) – always a great addition to the meal.

The staff are super friendly and helpful too. They’ll happily recommend something if you’re not sure what to get. Plus, the place is pretty spacious, so it’s great for bigger groups or even small celebrations.

If you’re into Thai food like me, definitely give this...
