Love Brown Grain..always amazing food, never disappointed..its the best thai food.
Pad Thai : š Amazing
Lamb in Black Pepper Sauce : š Amazing
Ordered a prawn Pad Thai and it was amazing! The sauce was amazing and the prawns were cooked perfectly. A squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of chilli and it was a meal fit for a queen and Iām only talking about their Pad Thai. The lamb in the black pepper was so succulent and juicy. The vegetables were cooked nicely and the flavour was great.
Just terrific , I really enjoyed this place, so much so we stayed on for desserts.Staff are really friendly welcoming and attentive service. Spacious dinning room with a good distance between tables. Dinning room, bathrooms and kitchen looked clean and modern. Food was lovely. Roti was on pointTom Ka with king prawn sweet with a hint of spicy heat. Hangover Marinara was spicy but not overbearing. the calamari ever so tender and the scallop full of flavour. The Grilled lamb had a star anise flavor.Ā Desserts were so yummy, the highlight being the Pandan crepes with coconut ice cream.
Brown grain is good for a quick easy dinner. Service was excellent and the food came out quick, itās pretty basic Thai not very exciting I couldnāt distinguish the difference from all 3 of our dishes the panang curry, red chicken curry and the coco lime prawns tasted good even better with the $5 beers.

Lunched here today at 11:30 am and I chose their Angel Prawns (fresh battered deep fried king prawns with shredded coconut served on a bed of steamed vegetables topped with home-made sweet chilli sauce) for $22.90, it was served steaming hot in just under 15 minutes of time of ordering & the meal was full of flavour. The service provision was attentive & friendly by Nan (even asked twice whether I was happy with the meal). The Thai vocal background music was soothing and at a suitable level to be heard over easily.
The Juror's Verdict: Food 4/5, Service Provision 4.5/5, Will I return: Yes

This place is a must try if you're visiting Ballarat. Such friendly service and authentic, great tasting Thai food. Best prawn laksa I've had, lots of care put into perfectly cooking the vegetables (not too soft with a bit of crunch), deveining prawns, etc. Well-priced and prompt service considering how busy the restaurant was.
Crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli is delicious. Very good service. Attentive wait staff who checked our order. Allow split bills. Nice wine.
Best Thai food I have ever had my wife had the chili rice with chicken and I had the seafood Laksa both dishes were lovely
The restaurant was lovely and clean and had a lovely ambiance about it
And definitely value for money
I highly recommend this restaurant
Had a quick lunch here after our trip to sovereign hill, and surprisingly it was tasty. Didnt try their mixed entree but the green curry that i ordered, even tho the sauce is not thick enough, the taste was there, not overly sweet or salty, just nice. Thai and chilli fried rice was nice, has that wok smell (asian will understand what i mean by this) and pad thai was okay. Overall we enjoyed our meal.
Overrated....The food is just average & slightly overpriced for what you get. We had the mixed entree which was a serve of curry puff, satay, fish cake & spring roll. Mains we shared the bbq chicken, duck red curry, pad Thai & fried rice. The duck was very tender. For desserts, we shared the fried ice cream which was a kid pleaser & the pandas crepe with coconut ice cream.
Visited this restaurant while here for work. Chose it based on Zomato review being quite high. I got the Duck special with crispy noodles. It was only ok. Noodles portion that came with it was quite small. I requested some more crispy noodles as they were gone very quickly so didn't have anything else to have the duck with. Sauce was quite overpowering and there wasn't much vegetables - a slice or two of cucumber. Duck is expensive but still think the price was a bit steep for what I got. Staff are helpful and restaurant/atmosphere was nice.
