We came across this place by chance and it turned out to be quite nice! The place actually has a Southeast Asian feel to it, with simple and authentic decor. Perfect for a quiet, cozy meal.
We ordered the Goong Obb and Phat Thai, both of which were served in a short span of time and together. The preparations were simple but rich in flavour. The Phat Thai had generous amount of peanuts and chicken with minimum oil. The Goong Obb was wonderful with perfectly seasoned prawns. Because our dessert of choice wasn’t available, we settled for the chef’s recommendation of Black Sticky rice with Coconut Ice cream. The ice cream seemed fresh and the flavour was mild but pretty good. If you’re looking for aesthetically beautiful dishes or instaworthy presentations, this is perhaps not the place. Food is definitely worth a shot.
very good Thai food！love it！
you must try！The food is fast, the price is cheap, the price is also very good, the boss is also very good！
love it！
Great local spot. Went here for take away. Curries were sooo delicious especially the massaman; however, the serves were small. Pad Thai was tasty too. Would return in a flash and customer service was lovely.

It's a lovely restaurant after all. We ordered the Rice Net Spring Rolls, Satay Chicken, Chu-Chee (fish curry) with rice, Beef Pad Thai and Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk for dessert. The Rice Net Spring Rolls and Satay Chicken are the must-eats. They were both very flavoursome. The staff recommended the Chu-Chee (fish curry) and it was very delicious. I'm not a fish person normally and this fish curry was a pleasant surprise. Pad Thai was very wet which was a bit unusual. It tasted like they went overboard with fish sauce. The Black Sticky Rice was the perfect dessert to end the night. The restaurant was decorated like a local eatery in Thailand with the rusty tables, chairs and beautiful pictures of Thailand.
I came here about 1 month ago and was so impressed i have been back every week. The spices and flavours and beautifully authentic. If you like hot food then Blue Galangal will impress. The staff are exceptional and a nice family feel. It makes me feel like im back in Thailand.
Love the authentic flavours of the stirfrys at blue galangal. This is our go to local Thai cuisine takeaway. Such punchy flavours at great prices.
We visited this place because of its great reviews and were not dissapointed. The restraunt is small and unassuming but delivered amazing authentic dishes with rich, fragrent flavours. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. We'll be back for more.

We had a really lovely meal at this smallish dine in restaurant, which also does a lot of takeaway. The prices are extremely reasonable, given the size of the serves. They are Thai-typical smallish (without the added lettuce leaves to make it look bigger) however they are alot cheaper than other venues ($6.90 for Thai beef salad). We started with the Tom Yum (very delicious) and the Poh Tak (which was a refreshing lemony suprise). Then the laab gai, mussels and a spicy chicken stir fry. All were requested Thai Hot. The spice level initially surprised me (haven't had spice for awhile), but it wasn't so over the top that you couldn't taste the food. With all of this between 2, we had to take a whole main home with us. Service was lovely, and always checking if the heat was ok (offers of more chilli if needed). I suggest if you want to dine in, to book on a weekend (there is limited seating space). And say G'day to Moe, the young son of the chef/owner who genuinely cares about his customers.
Went here with friends for dinner and had a great experience. Authentic, tasty Thai food with really good service also. Great little local restaurant we will be sure to return to
Had dinner there with my partner on a weekday night. We really enjoyed the tasty authentic Thai food there and friendly service. Will definitely visit again and try the dessert too ;)
Went there for my dinner with my girlfriend. Didn't expect much but their new lamb dish was very tasty. I normally don't eat lamb because I don't like the smell but I was so surprised that there was no smell at all. I will definitely go back again
I wouldn't recommend it! T.... I wouldn't recommend it!
The food tastes so authentic and it is so yummy. It is my secret place I go frequently for my Thai food fix. So please don't go ^_^
Simple, tasty, value for money Thai food
AMAZING! Favorite thai food place in melbourne. This place has been our favorite place for many years now, and nothing has come close. Not only are the owners the most polite and friendly people i've seen in my restaurant experiences, but the food is beautifully presented & the flavors are spot on! Anyone who has given this place a thumbs down is insane. Some people have commented that portions are small, its thai 'street' food, thats why it is so cheap, its suppose to be small, this isn't a american restaurant where quantity wins over quality. Perfect place to go and share a few different dishes. And have a big cheap amazing thai feast! Highly recommend! Dont forget to get a green tea with cocnut icecream drink! YUMM
Fantastic authentic good value grub. Service ..... Don't expect too much but food more than makes up for
A fantastic little taste of Thailand. One of the few restaurants that specialise in traditional hawker style grills and salads which are as good as any I've had in Thailand. I Highly recommend these lovely people.
Lovely food and consistently warm service. Well with a visit.
This owner/chef has nailed the formula for a local Thai place. Tasty, authentic, street-style fare, great value and friendly service.
Impressed with taste & service. Last night we had a group of 15 people dine at Blue Galangal to celebrate a 60th. We were all impressed with the friendly and helpful staff, the tastiness of all food and the value was great.. $277 total for 15 people including entrees and mains. Very happy with the team there.
Beautiful Thai food that i ever had. We went to this restaurant for dinner with my family for the first times.Waitress did the good job and advice all the food for us.Start with homemade Prawn cake and fish cake then grilled chicken.After the first bite,we were so delight and happy that we made the right decision to try this restaurant food.Then we order curry and 2 stir fried noodle.It was so yummy!We can't finish all food so i asked for take away food by no extra charges as some Thai restaurant,The owner came to say thank you.I can't wait to come back again.It was so delicious!Thank you to make ours enjoy this dinner.

Authentic Thai food. The prawn salad we had was fragrant with lots of herbs, stir fried had plenty of vegetables and curry was authentic and good balance of spice and not too sweet which suit our taste.
Happy to have a great Thai restaurant in the neighborhood.
Just had a great meal. Delicious spicy baby octopus and amazing seafood with homemade sweet,spicy sauce. Attentive service. So good to have a good local Thai.
Great addition to the toorak rd/warrigal rd shops, welcoming staff, great food, cheap just make sure you ask them to hold the chilli some of the dishes are extremely hot!
This place is great! I live close so i come here all the time. The staff are very friendly and the food is great (can be too hot for some i love it though) very authentic thai food and coconut ice cream to cool you down after!! Overall a great little place :).
Blue Galangal. Hi sorry Lady L. I kind of disagreed with you. I live locally, seen this restaurant from the start, chat with them. So have anyone tried any restaurant that do everthing from the scratch, they make curries paste themselve, not from containers (like you can get from the groceries). Using fresh chillies kind of high cost, so when compare the cost and the taste how difference between those two, you should know. The portion, I may agree with you if you paid $ 14 or $15 for a dish and not a Thai food. $ 9.90 I guessed you paid. Anyhow, have anyone tried Nua Dadd Deaw, only $4.90 so yummy and worth more than $4.90 or Nua Yang for only$ 3.50 with traditional Thai dipping sauce. Lady L. or any of you guys, should not miss out of this opportunity:) From Life is so beautiful.

Thai - Simply Thai - You must try!. This restaurant / take away venue opened three weeks ago. We watched in anticipation as the Blue Galangal Thai food signage went up. We have not been dissappointed. We have tried a few of their entrees, salads and mains so far and although we have some absolute favourites, nothing has been dissappointing. A simple concrete floor with simple tables and eclectic collection of mismatched chairs greets you. May works the register, takes your orders and serves you whilst Ming works in the kitchen. The kitchen is in full view and hides nothing from the discerning diner.
For entree you must try Por Pia Puk. Hresh Vegetables wrapped in spring roll pastry. Beautiful and fresh ingredients.
An absolute killer is the Yum Nua. Grilled beef salad with fresh chili, lemon juice and fresh herbs.
Mains we have sampled include; Yellow curry chicken, Phat Thai and Phat Se-Ewe.
We have eaten in three times and taken away once. Prices are very reasonable and the freshness and quality of meat cuts are simply much better than expected.
We have been pretty amazed at the quality of the food here. We love Thai, Malay and other asian foods. If anyone can recommend something amazing for us to try please do.
As for Blue Galangal. I really recommend that you go see May and Ming and give it a try. We cannot see how you will be dissappointed.
Nice neighbourhood Thai with a personal service, decent quality food at reasonable prices. It's a small place that may fill up on the weekend, so book ahead for larger groups.
Fabulous original Thai flavours from a small family run restaurant. Love the Cheu Chee(fish curry) and Massaman Beef curry with garlic rice.
Blue Galangal more genuine and deliciously spicy Thai food. My favourite Thai restaurant in the Burwood area after trying them all
Delicious food, and a more interesting menu than standard. Service was friendly and prompt, and the prices are very reasonable. Altogether excellent!
Amazingly cheap. Better quality than 90% of the Thai places in Victoria that seem to charge a third more for a main meal.
One of the best thai food .. must try there phat bai kaphrao.
Magic. I have traveled Thailand more than 10 times and this food is amazing
