Pimm Thai Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

ORDERED (MARCH 2025): Updating with what we've enjoyed (in no particular order): 🍍 Pineapple fried rice with vegetables 🍚 Coconut rice 🦀 S&P Soft Shell Crab 🦐 Tom Yum Goong 🐄 Massman beef curry BACK AGAIN (FEBRUARY 2024): Coming back with more family again this time, this is truly a local favourite. It's comfortable and the staff (shoutout to Chris) is very accommodating.

Would highly recommend the coconut rice 🍚. Simply put - it's incredible and silky and encompasses a strong coconut flavour. Definitely order it with your mains!

My uncle-in-law loved the Massaman beef curry because of how tender and soft the beef was! ❤ ORDERED (FEB 2023): 🥣 Tom Yum Goong: A classic thai soup that blends sour, salt, and spicy and sweet taste. Comes with prawns ($11.00) 🦀  S&P Soft Shell Crab: Seasoning crispy soft shell crab serve with thai style green apple salad ($20.00) 🍚  Pineapple Fried Rice: The combination of a sweet and savoury creates a unique Thai style fried rice ($16.00)

🍨  Black Sticky rice with coconut ice cream ($7.00)

Spent $27.50pp here

REVIEW: It's a really good Thai place in the local area. My mother and my favourite dishes were the soft shell crab & the coconut ice cream. Perfect crispy soft shell crab which showcases its iconic sweetness when it's paired with the thai, tangy, green apple salad. It's a fantastic combination. Then the coconut icecream has a light sweetness, with a slight nutty flavour that is so fragrant. It's one of the best coconut ice creams around and would highly recommend this!

As for the other dishes, my mother and I found that: Tom Yum Goong could be thinned out. Previously, the I've had the soup is more watery which is the perfect consistency. Felt like it was too salty. Too much cumin in the pineapple fried rice. Really bordered onto Singapore Noodle kind of punchiness, and the rice was too moist for me. Needed to be drier. Black Sticky rice was okay, but I'm more used to it being less glutinous like in Vietnamese desserts. Still not a bad choice to eat with the coconut ice cream though!

Service is friendly with bright smiles, and it's great to...

2024: Ordered through delivery service, and the food was amazing! Authentic pad Thai that I haven't had for a long time 🙌🏻

Updates on 18th March 2025:

I was extremely disappointed with what I received today. The chicken satay skewers were completely overcooked. They're so tough, rubbery, and basically inedible. I had no choice but to throw them away. The green prawn curry was equally underwhelming. Very watery and with barely any vegetables. It felt nothing like a proper curry.

I remember ordering from this place last year, and the quality was much better. I’m not sure what has changed, but the meal I received today was beyond disappointing. Won't...

Best Thai food in Melbourne!!

I’ve only been in person a couple of times, if not then I either take away or get it delivered through UberEats and they never disappoint and food quality is always superb. Everything is authentic and has so much flavour, I converted my boyfriend to love Thai food because of this restaurant!

I have a peanut allergy and the most recent time I went, I forgot to tell them and only remembered after the first dish arrived. Turns out, they remembered my allergy and said they weren’t going to put it in anyway.

Really great and cozy restaurant and good, genuine people, they deserve 5 stars and I highly...
