Kaoyum

Tiny, cosy South Yarra Thai restaurant famed for fragrant green curry and crispy pork belly

Small, cozy, warmly decorated dining room tucked inside an office building. intimate enough for a date, comfortable for casual dinners with friends.

BYO wine plus an in-house beer range, a daily-specials board, and a kitchen that swaps proteins on request, such as Pad Thai instead of pork belly.

Praised by Thai-speaking reviewers for retaining traditional Thai spicing and flavour balance that reviewers say is hard to find elsewhere in Melbourne.

Opinions are split: many reviewers call it good value for authentic flavour, but a vocal minority flag portions as small relative to price, particularly the mango sticky rice.
