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.
