The Thai restaurant is next to the Queen Victoria Market. The menu has a variety of dishes including Thai barbecue and Papaya salad trays. Thai flavors have been adapted and added a little to suit the people here. It is considered worthwhile and very delicious. The service staff is very good. Pay cash and get a 5% discount

Amazing Thai Restaurant hidden in West Melbourne! The restaurant is spacious, perfect for both big groups and casual dinner. They have a massive menu! From salad, tapas, stir fried, mains, bbq to dessert, basically any Thai dishes u can think of! I enjoyed everything we had that night. Absolutely in love with the sausage, gai yang, pad thai, fish and bbq! It was my first time trying the Kaon Krok - coconut pancakes! It was like the coconut version of the Banh Knot!
So Thai feels like a home away from home.
The owners of this family run restaurant were super friendly and nice, felt like my mum trying to overfeed me. Lots of parking and good for big groups
Definitely recommend coming with a bigger group so you can share a couple of dishes because the dishes are quite large and the menu has a lot of variety !
There were sooo many amazing dishes but I'm just gonna highlight a few
// Thai isaac sausage which were super juicy, kind of reminds me of Taiwanese sausages
// The pad thai with king prawns were so impressive looking when it came out and the looks matched the taste
// The miang pia pao fish was also something else that looked so amazing, never had whole fish at a Thai restaurant before, and never had to wrap something either. It comes with so many different sauces so there's a few different wrap variations for you (and if you're anything like me, you'd add anything else on the table also haha)
// Mookata Thai BBQ is just a must, where you have a mix of both BBQ and hot pot to satisfy you, and it's always just warms my soul.
// My friends told me the salads were also great, but my spice level just could not handle more than a bite π₯² maybe one day
// Kaon krok for dessert, these little Thai coconut pancakes with different fillings, very creamy, not too sweet and I could easily eat 10 by myself
The menu was huge so we didn't even get to try everything, would definitely return to try other dishes and reorder some faves β€οΈ

Since there was a buy 1 get 1 free offer on Uber Eats, I ordered from this place, not having tried their food before, and I was pleased with what I received.

I ordered Pad Kana - Oyster Sauce with beef and very spicy as my level of hotness ($21.95). I was a little taken aback at the relatively small boxes that I received, as I was planning on having one box for lunch and the other for dinner, but I ended up eating from both, and only then did it feel enough.
The beef was very well cooked, and they got the spice level just right, which I'm thankful for. The beef also came with a good amount of veggies, especially Chinese broccoli, present in copious amounts. I was okay with that, but they probably saved on beef with this. The meat came layered on top of rice, which was in decent quantity, your typical rice. Overall, it was good food, and my biggest gripe is with the quantity.

This place seems good for Thai food, but I need to try their other dishes as well.
Great little authentic Thai place with lovely staff.
I get the feel that this is a bit of a local favourite with a few groups who seemed very familiar with the staff.
Just stopped in for a light bite but it was delicious, served fairly quickly but we didn't feel rushed at all.
Great choice of drinks on offer as well as a decent enough list of dishes to choose from.
Serving sizes are good and food was all freshly made.
Great little eatery that I'll revisit to try the whole menu.
Good for mid sized groups too.
Thai cafe opposite Queen Victoria Market.
A bit disappointing in terms of food freshness and lacking that authentic thai zest.
Reasonable variety on menu and has a small selection of alcoholic drinks.
Service is pretty poor but if you are just dropping by for a quick bowl of noodles it probably wont bother you.
Clean toilets at rear and some outdoor tables on the side of teh cafe (ie off the street).
Discovered this hidden gem π in West Melbourne (right across Vic Market)!! With authentic Thai dishes at a great price point, So Thai is the perfect spot to visit - especially with a big group so you can try it all!

Highly recommend their Miang Pla Pao! So many fresh veggies with a whole grilled fish, so easy to eat and so flavourful! Also canβt go wrong with a great Pad Thai π
A wonderful meal after an afternoon of fossicking through souvenirs at Queen Victoria Market. An authentic Thai experience, that isn't over the top, nor out of reach. Next time I'll bring my friends AND family (including my fussy Thai mother as she will no doubt approve)!
