BURAPA THAI EATERY — Restaurant in Melbourne

A welcoming environment with the bright colours and neon fish sign gives a classical modern feel to it. The service is unlike others where it feels overly platonic and bland. Recommendations include the Tom Kha which blends a level of sweetness and sourness fit for an exciting day. The Pad Thai was made very similarly however the flavour is subtly obvious almost as though it dances and tangos with the nuts beans shoots, noodles and sauce. The tofu salad brought a level of innovation second to none with a very simple mixture of satay sauce. A change so obvious yet unknown. The crackers introduced an element in surprise you don’t often find elsewhere. Whether it be takeaway, eating in, family or friends, Burapa Thai has got it all and the locality of it also means you don’t need to drive off to never land to get a local bright vibrant and satisfying eat. Even with a menu change which is very hard and stressful to pull off , Burapa Thai has done something very few and especially Thai Restaurants can do. With the added price to take account of for diners, don’t worry about losing your earnings on one meal. That being said Bravo and well...

This Thai restaurant is honestly the best in Melbourne. Finally, we found a truly authentic Thai eatery that does not “fusionised” their food and we love the really hot and spicy and tangy feel (not watered down to local tastes). The portion size is just right, not excessively bulked up with vegetables. The salad that goes with the fried barramundi is so very good - we can feel the “various bursts of tastes” very clever combination of ingredients, just tastes so good. And the chef had also thoughtfully filleted & cut the barramundi into serving portion size prior to frying (no need for us to “battle” cutting up a whole fried fish on our own). Just so thoughtful, deserve Michelin star chef. We ordered 4 dishes, all was very good and tastes spot on (just one tip, the seafood vermicelli salad, could have been more perfect, if there were a little more seafood - enough for a family of 4). The rice portion is good, not tiny (unlike other Thai restaurants). Customer service was warm, genuine and efficient. Well deserving 5-star. Highly recommend this amazing Thai eatery and we will definitely be...

Absolutely wonderful place to enjoy Thai cuisine without having to worry about the price and quality.

We had a rushy dinner at a random night. Walked in and had a door side table. Night wind came to our table before the menu did. However, when our appetizer arrived, all the coldness and hungry dissolved by a single bite of “Son-in-law’s eggs”, which has a funny name and amazing taste. Fried outer layer covers the tender inside of boiled egg, which makes you think how this dish was made.

Beef curry was creamy and rich in flavor. Might be too greasy for some people but it was designed for pairing with the famous Thai rice (not the Sunrice please, that’s not good rice). We couldn’t finish it so I packed it and took away for the second day at work.

We also ordered a prawn pot and Thai style milk tea. I don’t want to spoil too much on these gorgeous items because if you go and try, you will find these items are fantastic and cannot be found anywhere else, which makes this restaurant impossible for walk-in like me.

Overall, wonderful place located in Balwyn area and a gem...
