How we read reviews →Melbourne's cryptic-staircase Thai institution. beers on tap and loyal Pad Thai fans.
A sprawling upstairs Curtin House institution. part Thai dining room, part cocktail bar, buzzing and loud with a well-worn, lived-in charm.
A DIY betel leaf kit diners assemble themselves, a pandan cocktail made with house-made syrup, 20+ beers on tap, and a theatrical hot-oil pour finish on some dishes.
Reviewers describe genuinely bold, traditional Thai flavours (pad thai, curries, papaya salad) adapted for a scaled-up Melbourne dining room.
Prices sit on the higher side for Thai food, and reviews are split. most call the flavour and portions worth it, a few find it overpriced for the plastic-plate service.
