How we read reviews →Port Melbourne's tiny but mighty Thai. the Khao Soi and crispy pork belly have regulars returning weekly.
An intimate, warmly decorated space seating around 15-16 people, with a homestyle quality that multiple reviewers liken to eating in someone's living room. Thai decorative elements, cosy lighting, and attentive service from the owner Nat and her team create a relaxed but special dining environment. decidedly un-chain, personal, and memorable.
House-made satay sauce praised as among Melbourne's best; Thai iced milk tea made in-house; ginger prawn dumplings as a standout entrée; coconut rice as a signature accompaniment; lunch specials offering exceptional value (cashew nut chicken noted at $14.90); accommodates takeaway and dine-in well; some outdoor seating.
Highly authentic. consistently described as 'closest to Thailand' by multiple reviewers including those of Thai heritage. Khao Soi (a northern Thai coconut curry noodle soup) is a rare and well-executed specialist dish. Larb gai, pad see ew, and massaman all praised for authentic flavour profiles. The cooking is home-style Thai rather than Westernised.
Lunch specials deliver exceptional value at around $14-$15 per dish. Dinner pricing is moderate for the quality, though a small number of reviewers note prices have risen slightly and surcharges apply on public holidays and for pick-up orders. The overwhelming consensus is outstanding value for the authenticity and portion size delivered.
