Noi Thai — Restaurant in Melbourne

I’m as sad to give this review as I was of our experience last night. The restaurant made a mistake of taking our order as a takeaway instead of dine in (We were reading the menu at the front and were asked what we would like, told them, gestured to pay so we did and asked for a table and was gestured to take a seat after) Took a seat at a table and our food was delivered to our table in takeaway (i noted to the waitress staff that it was a mistake to be takeaway but that’s ok) 😂 But there were no cutlery in the bag and were refused any cutlery to eat our meal because we had paid for takeaway 🤷🏼‍♀️ Even explaining the situation to the manager he refused to help so we had to eat Larb with our hands in their restaurant 🤣 We were on our way to a performance and had no other way to eat our dinner before we arrived at the venue! OH 🤣 and as I was looking around for a setviette to wipe my food covered hands (which I never found) I was told that we would have to clean our takeaway off from the table 😆 In hindsight I wish I had demanded a refund as we weren’t able to enjoy the food at all and was a complete waste of money. I think both the manager and I will be happy to never have to encounter each other again. 🤣 Good luck with your restaurant...

There is no doubt, food is absolutely delicious. However, we were not pleased with rudeness of staff. we had booked the table. The moment we entered, we were asked if we can vacant the table in 1 and half hours. I get that they are busy, we infant vacated the table in one hour but i felt them asking befire even welcoming us was a bit off this is the first restaurant in Melbourne I found that they don't have high chairs. So, it was difficult to handle my toddler as he was not locked in high chair. At one point he got up from chair and sat on table which was definitely inappropriate but before I could handle him or distract him, staff came to me with very rude blank face telling me no sit on table. He was right, no sitting on table. But they way it was said. Then we needed a smaller spoon for my toddler and a bowl when we asked that from staff he rolled eyes or sort of gave " what on earth now expression".

Overall, I didn't find the staff was warm or welcoming. There is a possibility that on the day we went, they weren't the best. Amd would like to go there again because food is the best and to give them second chance at...

Omg this is the best Thai I've had in Melbourne. I've lived in Melbourne for seven years, and finding good Thai has been surprisingly difficult, for a city with such good food culture. Now that I've found this place, I go all the time, and my friends also agree it's a stand-out. Most recently, I got the chicken larb salad, which is great served with the sticky purple rice, as you can scoop up the larb in it and savour the delicious results. I loved the fish cakes and satay skewers. Have tried the green curry beef and chicken pad Thai, both of which are excellent. The shoo shee goong was a terrific flavour combo, and the prawns were great, but probably a bit too spicy for me (I usually get medium). The chive dumplings are fine, the roti satay was just ok: great satay sauce, but the roti itself is a little tough, whereas I prefer it tender and flaky. Look, this place is so good for Thai. Just...
