🇹🇭 สวัสดี 🇹🇭 Felt like walking inside into an "anywhere door" (re: Doraemon) and ended up in the land of smiles aka Thailand. Ambience is awesome also very busy. Decor is wow just felt like I'm in a night market deep in Bangkok. Ordering is done through bar code on the table which you can scan through your phone. Then you can pay the bill after you finish your meal. We ordered the Red curry with duck, crab fried rice, papaya salad, pad see ew and of course the deep fried pork shank All of them are aroi mak mak 😚😚 and flavourful. The pork shank however have quite strong "five spice powder" which some people may not be familiar with, also out of all the dish the shank also come a bit late hence the star reduction. Food portion (for main dish) is more on the "Jenny Craig" size one so don't you worry about over eating unless you ordered too much.😅 Service however quite decent and waitress seems to walk around to ensure people that sit at the back are being looked after. Toilet cleanliness is really good and I gotta write about this as I'm impressed because most asian restaurant normally has that "authentic experience" in thus department 😅 On the way home we bought some nice Thai donut which is like fried bread that can be dip in lovely pandan sauce which is yummmoo. Anyway great overall experience would not mind to go back. Ps : there's a free milk tea offer on the wall but none of the waitress seems to be able to explain how to claim it 🤔

I've eaten at @ThaiTownQV many a time, perfect for large groups where it's difficult to organise exact numbers and chasing people for an RSVP. Walk in, line up, state your party size, the staff communicate via their ear piece, and then you're taken through. A large variety of dishes, order plenty, share, and enjoy the variety. Crispy pork - smothered in a tasty but slightly too sweet sauce for my liking over pieces of crispy on the outside tender on the inside pork, mixed with the plain steamed rice, this goes down a treat. Pad se-ew - this is such a fantastic dish. Loose tender wide flat rice noodles with beef are superb. Roast chicken - love the flavour of the skin with the marinade, tender chicken, the liquidity sauce poured over the chicken and steamed rice, really yum. Pineapple fried rice with shredded chicken - wow, I've eaten a lot of fried rice but this is superb. Really flavoursome, typically Thai and such an enjoyable dish you just keep coming back for more. Masaman beef curry (asked for a mains serve) - this hits the spot with the unmistakable flavour that only Masaman curry can bring, chunks of fall apart beef, potatoes that just absorb the curry, smothered over rice this is so yum. #ThaiFood #crispypork #padseew #roastchicken #pineapplefriedrice #masamanbeefcurry #Foodie #melbournefood #melbournecbd

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Thai Town restaurant and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. Everything from the beef balls to the Jumbo Padkrapo was simply amazing. The beef balls were bursting with flavor and left me craving for more. The Jumbo Padkrapo was not only massive in size but also worth every penny. The combination of ingredients was a true delight for my taste buds. The Tom Zaap soup quickly became my new favorite dish. The flavors were out of this world and I couldn't get enough of it. It was a perfect balance of savory, spicy, and tangy flavors that left me wanting to savor every spoonful. However, the real star of the day was the soft shell crab. It was a life-changing experience! The crab was cooked to perfection and the flavors were simply heavenly. Each bite was a delightful combination of crunchiness and succulent seafood goodness. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Thai Town for providing such an exceptional dining experience. The food, the ambiance, and the service were all top-notch. Thank you for creating such a memorable culinary journey. I can't wait to come back and explore more of your wonderful menu. Five stars all the way!

Oct 2024 🌟🌟🌟 3 stars It has been a while. I came in with a friend earlier this year too but didn't update my review. This time I thought I should update my review for the place. We ordered papaya tray and sausage with sticky rice and drinks. Just to get in the details .... Chicken wings were bland. It was under seasoned and not crispy because they put the wings skin down on the tray which are soaked in papaya salad dressing. Sausage was under seasoned as well, no depth in flavor and it didn't give me the herb smell like it's supposed to which is a shame. Service was ok, not special. They're too busy to smile or be friendly with customers. As Thai, flavor wise, I think it became quite average now where it used to be good when I last visited. Will I come back? Yes, but I'm probably not in a hurry to do so. Thank you ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Probably 2023 🌟 🌟🌟🌟 4 Stars Food was delicious and so many to choose from. Good atmosphere like in Thailand. Service wasn't great but okay. One of waitresses had attitudes and the way she looked at customers and how she treated them. It wasn't pleasant. However, highly recommended for authentic Thai food and sweets.

This place was downright amazing. Hidden gem in cbd. Located right at QV. easy access to public transportation and lots of cafes and restaurants around. We went for a quick bite and when we got there we were lucky enough to get a table. They seemed pretty busy and the menu was quite big with lots of options. We were hunger so decided to go with pad sew with pork and chicken pad Thai and it was amazing. I am very skeptical when I go out for Thai food in Australia because everything is so westernised. After a spoonful of this pad sew it brought back a whole heap of nostalgia. The noodle was full of flavour, the pork was just perfect and the sauce!! The sauce just tied everything together. We also had pork meat balls which was just what we needed to finish the experience. The atmosphere was nice and the interior was well thought out. It gave that feeling of being in Thailand. Service was okish but quick. There’s always a line out the front but the turn around is super fast. So don’t be afraid to wait for some real good Authentic Thai. Will defiantly be back from more.

I went to Thaitown a long while ago and I had nothing but compliments for the food. I subsequently visited multiple times over a long time spread and noticed a slow but gradual drop in quality. The staff are always great and the ambiance is always buzzing but the food standards are slipping. I've eaten multiple times with friends and many times solo. Slowly the food that I ate started to lose its authenticity and the flavours became dumbed down versions of their prior iterations.I always nearly on every occasion order the papaya salad tray. On my first dining I had nothing to complain about as the papaya tray was great and the side meats were delicious. However on my last visit; it was confirmed to me that something was lost along the way. My papaya tray was more like a noodle tray with a side of papaya salad, it was warm noodles as well. The chicken was flavourless and bland, the papaya salad itself was lacking its former flavour and it became for the very first time; a chore to finish. I loved it for it's authenticity but that's gone now. Such a shame
