I've been coming to Rama Thai for years. It's a favourite for me as far as the food is concerned, but as far as the service goes, well that's another story.
The restaurant isn't huge, and when really busy, it can seem cramped. But they've "modernised" it a little and it's a nice atmosphere. Parking is usually good, as it's on a stretch of Bourke Road where there's only a few other restaurants, and one of them isn't even open at night, so parking has never been an issue.
I'd normally order Chicken Curry Puffs, but they only have vegetable ones. So I ordered the Golden Canape, which is deep fried marinated chicken on bread (toast) with a chilli sauce. Let me tell you; these are HEAVENLY. They are SO good. I haven't seen these on any other Thai restaurant menus (and I go to Thai places a lot). They're delicious and I could almost eat them as main meal too, lol. For my main, I ordered the Chicken Fried Rice (of course). This was delicious too and made according to my modification requests.
I did find it bad that the waitress didn't know answers to questions about the food on the specials board. That's something staff should be trained in. And the food came out quicker last night than other times, because they weren't quite so busy. But the food is delicious and really tasty and if you don't mind slow service at times, this is a restaurant I highly recommend.
I got home delivery from Rama Thai tonight. I ordered a Pad Kee Mao with mixed vegetables and tofu. I was impressed with the range of vegetables included and I was happy with how spicy it was. The meal was delivered faster than expected as well. A perfect meal for a rainy day!
Also it’s cheaper to order off menulog than deliveroo for some reason so keep that in mind when ordering home delivery from Rama Thai.
Always great food and friendly service. They'll take phone orders for pickup too. I've bought lunch there once a month for about 10 years now.
I swear it’s probably the best pad Thai I have ever had, just everything about it is amazing. Will definitely be going back ASAP it’s my favourite Thai place at the moment for sure
We’ve been going to Rama thai with Grandma & Grandpa for years. Best Thai in Melbourne. Pad See Eew and Pad Met chicken are delicious and you can never go wrong with roti n spring rolls!
We have been coming here consistently for 12months now food always delish staff always lovely they also do a discount for takeaway which is just another bonus I would recommend
Although we live quite near here we had not tried Rama Thai until I recently learnt that they had a dish called Mee Grob on their menu. This is a beautiful Thai dish that is quite common in Thai restaurants in Sydney, but not readily available in Melbourne. We had this and another dish as a takeaway and it was ready very quickly and was delicious and a quite generous serve.
Today we had lunch there and shared a Green Curry with prawns and a Chicken with Basil dish. The food was excellent with beautiful crunchy vegetables. The prices for their lunch menu are very reasonable, the portions again quite generous. The place has a very pleasant ambience. What more could we ask for? We shall certainly return very soon.
I ordered takeaway pork spring rolls and spicy noodles with chicken, chilli and basil and it was delicious. The noodles had the right amount of chilli and soy sauce along with crisp fresh veggies and tender chicken so good! Will definitely go back to try the other dishes.
Mind blown but how good the food here were! Stumbled upon this place on a casual saturday dinner just because we were lazy to cook and was craving for phad thai. Ordered the phad thai seafood, gra pow pork, vege tofu green curry and tom yum soup. They were all above average quality and decent portion as well! Service could be a bit faster but there were just so many takeaways so our orders were on hold for awhile. Very pleased with the food will def come back
Consistent Thai.
Would I say this is the best Thai that I have had? No. But I will say it is good, and consistently delivers good Thai food. I often have Rama Thai as a take out option and I've never been disappointed. The currys are yum, special mention to the massaman.
If you're looking for a good Thai take out spot in the eastern suburbs, this won't disappoint.
Friendly staff and nice food.
Massaman lamb is really good with rice.
Beautiful authentic Thai coupled with excellent service. We enjoyed a few traditional dishes, definitely a stand out in the area. We will be back 😊👍

Delicious food with great service . I been to the place many times and every time i go there i try different dishes. All the dishes are very tasty. I Order Through Ozfoodhunter. After installed App I got $15 and even 10% off Also
We had such a wonderful experience here for takeaway. Ordered the chicken massaman, pad see ew and grilled pork salad. The salad was exactly what I was craving! A little bit of spice, super tasty and refreshing. There was a small error with the order that we only realised when we got home, and the lovely waitress offered to replace the dish for us - which we gladly accepted the following week. Ordered the exact same thing again because we couldn’t resist!
Can’t wait to turn Rama Thai into a regular spot.
Great range of tasty meals. And great value. Been there quite a few times now and quality and service is consistent. The lunch special menu is worth going for. My favourite is the pad ped chicken. The money bags are also great.
We have been going to Rama Thai for years and we have never had a bad meal. The staff are so lovely and go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of and they even remember our usual order. It is a local gem and you must try the chive cakes!!
