I have been to this restaurant over a couple of years and returning today leave a feedback. I have pleasant memories of the place and a very good experience and hence providing a 4.0 rating. It was certainly the occasion, good food and wait times on a very busy day, that all met our expectations well along-with a lively and bustling environment. I got on to a table very close to the kitchen and lots of smoke was coming thru, but we didn't mind much as it was winters.

A local gem near Riverdale Station, this tasty Thai offers punters the culinary flavours of Bangkok within the leafy confines of Camberwell. Whether dining in or taking away, Riverdale Thai's food is delicious; fragrantly flavoured curries, sweet & spicy meat dishes and freshly mixed vegetarian options cater for all diners. The staff are very friendly and often pop an extra Spring Roll or two into your bag; highlighting the restaurant's value and attention to detail. All in all, Riversdale Thai offers authentic, flavoursome food perfect for midweek takeaway or a cosy dine in evening.

Cracking Thai food. Had the house made dimmies for entree and they were great! Didn't last long enough for a picture of them. For mains Little Chief went the prawn green Thai curry and I went the chicken massaman curry and it couldn't be any better in my opinion. Interior is old and a bit dated but it somehow works and it's a very cool old school vibe. Loved it. All of it. Ate it and rate it.

What a little beauty ...... location, quaint and more importantly their food too.

Stand alone corner building overlooking the park on Riversdale Rd, next to the station, it covered all in terms of location.

On top of that, their food is solid too, from stir fries to curry.

Chicken & Vegetable Basil stir fry wasn't too salty and enough (a little above for most) kicks from those freshly cut chillies.

Massaman curry was balanced; right amount of Cardamon, sweet & sourness from Tamarind and Palm sugar combo, beef just melts too.

Adequately fitted inside, although service can be better, nonetheless they did their best serving all patrons with two staff on the floor.

The food here is top class the  prawn spring rolls are great the duck rolls are fantastic the crispy chicken chilli jam very tasty . The main problem is the noise every diner seems to be talking at once in loud voices

Doesn't look like much situated on the corner of a main road but it's surprisingly beautifully and authentically decorated! The staff despite quiet were really pleasant and friendly, taking pride in their service and presentation. Best Thai green curry and such good seafood! All the ingredients were fresh and flavoursome- will definitely be back!

Our go to local Thai restaurant. We generally get take away but consistently great food every time. They also give you a free entrée when you order over a certain amount. Eating in is good too, atmosphere is peaceful but not particularly vibrant.

We recently revisited Riversdale Thai as it is a popular Thai restaurant for the locals of the Camberwell . We were a bit disappointed that it did not live up to our tastebuds' memories.

Cheerful Thai local. Riversdale Thai has become our go-to for Thai takeaway and the occasional dine-in. We've found it to offer consistently fresh and flavoursome dishes.

Authentic spicy Thai cuisine. First time visit for birthday and didn't disappoint. Very much enjoyed the experience. The tastes were strong and authentic, the location is sweet and costs reasonable. We went mid-week which certainly meant that it was less busy. It's small so I'd imagine service might slow down on a busy night, but sometimes you need to chill out and enjoy the night. If you are impatient I'm sure you could find some bucket Thai noodle shops that would be quicker, but if you want a more pleasant experience, both for the mind and the palette, I'd suggest you give it a go.

Delightful. This place really exceeded my expectations when visiting for the first time. It was much larger than appears from outside, had a great layout which I loved, had a warm, relaxing ambience and the service was fantastic.
I judge Thai restaurants on my meal as I have the same meal every time and this one was delicious. Light and fresh and very spicy, just like I had asked for.
They cleared our plates quietly and quickly, but we never felt rushed, even being given a bit of space between our entree and main and left to talk at the end of our meal.
Only negative was that they made my partners meal very spicy too when he hadn't asked for it. Next time we will need to make it clear that the spicy request is for one dish only, but we will definitely be back.

Fantastic tasting food!. I had a fantastic experience here. Ate takeaway and didn't pick up the food so can't comment on service but the food was delicious. Awesome vegetarian fried rice. Roti was beautiful. Pad thai was average, but not bad. Another stir fried vegies (can't remember which one) was quite tasty. Definitely will come back again.

Cheap and cheerful!. Popped in for a light takeaway meal on the way home from work. The tom yum soup with prawns was fresh and zingy, without being too spicy (albeit a little bit light on the tomatoes). The satay on the satay chicken sticks was yummy and chunky and exactly what a simple entree should be.

Went again last night (5 of us) (4th or 5th visit): very happy with food and service. We did comment it wasn't as busy as we've seen it for a Fri night. All dishes were excellent. We had red and green curries, chilli jam chicken (best), gado gado (had better but couldn't really complain), duck salad (mmmm), entrees: fish cakes and duck rolls. Then usual rice (there was lots) and roti (lots again). Great local Thai. We'll be back :)

Food was good though I didn't get a chance to try out the more exotic items on the menu. Just red and green curry. Was busy with locals trying the new place out. Interesting that by 8.15 pm the place was nearly empty. Possibly a good movie on TV? more likely the demographic. Dinner at 7. Bed by 9.30. but on Friday night?? No wonder Camberwell gave Barry humphries so much material.

Lots of potential. Being the newest restaurant in our area we popped out to check it out on a Thursday night to find it was filling up fast. After we'd been there for about 15 minutes it was packed - good sign! They don't have a license at this stage so make sure you BYO (corkage was pretty cheap).

The tables can be a bit cramped and overcrowded but the staff whip the plates away as soon as you're done so you don't have to worry too much about where to put the next dish.

The fish cake entrees we had were a bit "rubbery" but didn't lack for flavour and the curry puffs were great!. The mains on the other hand were brilliant - Crispy Fried Chilli Prawns and Penang Lamb Curry that had so much flavour. A single steamed rice and roti finished it off.

I think it was a bit on the pricey side, probably about $15 more than we'd expected it to be (especially when you consider the serving sizes weren't that large). I think 3 - 4 dollars less per main would've been closer to the mark.

Still, we didn't leave hungry, this place hasn't been open long, the food's great and the staff are keen - lots of room to grow.

I’m quite surprised at some of the negative reviews regarding service. We have gotten food from here many times for takeaway and have eaten in once. The food here is absolutely delicious - delicious!! Takeaway and eat in - always just delicious. We normally get the clear chicken soup, pepper beef, green chicken curry and the chicken satay. Also the service for our family of four when we dined in was absolutely great! We had 2 rambunctious kiddos (one being a toddler) and it was a very cold night. They kindly sat us in a room with a heater that could blow directly on us and away from diners who probably didn’t want loud kids around. Service was great and they even made a special order for us when we asked if we could just have some plain rice with eggs for the kids. They were really so so nice. The owner even stopped by to let us know there was a statue elephant at the front our toddler could sit on if we liked. Really really kind owner and employees and the food is outstanding!

Really enjoyed our meal. We turned up without a reservation on a Thursday night. They were expecting a large booking but they were happy to accommodate us anyway. Friendly, delicious food, decent portions, nice atmosphere. Will definitely go there again.
