Best one in town. A superior original southern Thai place even comparing to Those restaurant in Thailand.
อร่อยจนเกือบหยุดไม่ได้ สุดๆไปเลย รสชาติแบบที่ไทย
For those familiar with Thai cuisine, this is about as authentic as it gets in Melbourne. Super underrated spot. Clearly a more southern Thai food experience, which is brilliant to see and taste. Lots of Thai locals eat here I noticed.
The atmosphere is very casual, and all the food is prepared in front of your eyes just behind the counter. A great spot for takeaway or a sit down meal.
Very generous portions and great value. Pad Krapow was delicious and they definitely give you a great amount of vegetables (some restaurants don’t!)
I will say however, that certain dishes such as the Pad Thai, didn’t quite hit the mark for me personally. This one was particularly different than most restaurants and was a little sweeter than I was used to. Perhaps this place does best in its specialty curry and stir fry dishes! Overall very good though

Came here again for the second time and still would love to come back. I feel like it is the only southern style thai restaurant we have in Melbourne. The food is more spicy than the usual thai food as Southern people they eat very spicy food. Today we had 4 main dishes to share and a taro sticky rice dessert. The dessert was not that good but the food was top notch! We really like the yellow curry with fish!
Cha Om Omelette and Hat Yai Fried Chicken - to die for! Stir fried pipis, soft shell crab apple salad, yellow curry tamarind leaves with grilled minced fish... I can go on and on and on.... FAVOURITE go to for Thai food!
Delicious & huge portions! Owned and operated by two Thai aunties for over 20 years. Your best bet for authentic southern Thai food in inner city Melbourne.
I always struggle to find an authentic thai food in Melbourne. Most thai restaurant that are scoring high in zomato tends to disappoint as their food is evolving to suit the Australian taste. When i first discovered Mamanee, their food tastes very nice, authentic, spicy, and not too much on the MSG note like most Asian restaurant. I really like their southern thai menu as most thai restaurant tends to recommend the usual suspects like tom yam soup or pad thai etc. I would highly recommend the dishes like crab meat fried rice, pad prik moo kroob (stir fry pork belly with chiili paste), deep fried whiting fish, moo yang (grill pork neck). You can tell me to cook it more spicy according to your tastebuds too. High recommended by an authentic thai food lover like myself. Sadly i didn't take photos of the dishes as we were too occupied to eat!
Authentic no frills Thai food. Stumbled on this place whilst walking past and saw the old Thai lady prepping food near the front so we took it as a sign to go in. The massaman curry and crispy pork belly was amazing and highly recommend. Would go back to satisfy my Thai cravings.
It blows my mind that there isn’t a queue of people trying to get in here every night. Ive been eating here for years and the food is consistently the best/most authentic Thai that we can find in Melbourne. Yes- it’s no frills decor doesn’t look like your standard Westernized Thai restaurant complete with wood ornaments and candles - but WHO CARES the food is amazing. Tasty, salty, sweet, sour, spicy.. everything you want your Thai food to be. Not to mention the price is reasonable, sizes are generous and staff are lovely. Oh and if you say you want it chili hot- it will actually be HOT- incase (like me) your into that sort of thing.
Fave dishes are the Penang curry.. Fried Barramundi with apple salad and the Chicken pad gra pao...amongst many many others.
Perfection, in the way it does what it says on the tin. For a cheap, casual Thai eatery, Mamanee is peerless in its ability to truly mirror what a genuine Thai eatery should offer. Food is exceptional, service is flawless, buzzing atmosphere and BYO anything.
BEST THAI EVER! absolutely love the thai food here. Live south east melbourne and if i wanted thai i will travel all the way down here to dine for thai food. Beats all the thai food in VIC hands down... Friendly staff and great chef.
I'm neither here nor there about this one. I'm not sure I could pick this passable Thai restaurant out of a line up of any other Thai restaurant in Melbourne. I had the (medium) spicy noodles with vegetables which were exactly as advertised.
I absolutely love Mamanee. The food is always fast, fresh, and tasty. I dine in often because I work nearby, and the service is consistently welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended.
Fantastic real taste of Thai food !! I love the Southern-style Yellow curry and the crispy pork with Chinese cabbages.
Finally, an authentic Thai restaurant that serves up a proper Thai curry! Delicious, authentic cuisine and a down to earth atmosphere that makes you forget for a second that you're actually in Melbourne. As some reviewers mentioned, even the mild curries pack quite a punch. Loved our meal here and will most definitely be back.
Pleasant, courteous staff. Very very tasty, cheap and cheerful!. Meals are cooked fresh and relatively quickly. I like Thai food! For coelics like me, you'd have more than a few choices! And so far I have found their gluten free dishes safe to eat. Thank you !
Southern Thai style, indeed. Where mild is hot and hot is 🔥 Decor is typical for a Thai establishment that puts flavour ahead of form. A bit warm/humid inside but nothing compared to restaurants in Thailand. They do have an aircon if you're used to cold and dry. Overall, great flavour, friendly staff, decor is a but old but everything is clean, and they sterilized the plastic kids plate set before giving to our toddler. Very happy.
Delicious authentic Thai food and very friendly wait staff and the two aunties behind the magic in the kitchen. CAUTION - even mild is very spicy! I requested some coconut milk to have with my mild curry. Will return :)
Amazing authentic Thai food. Highly recommend
