Picked up some take away on the way home.
Such delicious food, it tasted really fresh and full of flavour and prices and servings sizes are definitely a great match. We ordered massaman curry and pad Thai.

Service was very friendly, I’ve yet to find a Thai restaurant where the service isn’t already amazing.

The interior aswell looks like a nice place for a local dinner to get out of the house. Well presented clean and furnished to the skies


First time and won’t be last time. Looking forward to coming back.

We felt like Thai food. A bit sick of our usuals that haven’t been up to scratch, we tried something new. We weren’t disappointed. This place had easily the best red duck curry I’ve had in years! We chose the spicier dishes (no kids!!). We had a long bean stir fry (if I was being harsh it was a bit light on beans but oh, so tasty and fresh), a red duck curry (delish) and a chef’s special Tom yum hot pot (actually a steam boat - that was tasty but not what I had mind). With one serve of steamed rice between two it was comforting to know a doggie bag was available! We made it through, after eating a bit too much, which meant no dessert - I had looked forward to deep fried ice cream - maybe next time. Friendly service, clearly lots of regulars, we’ll go back!

Such lovely, authentic Thai food! Every dish we had lived up to our expectations and more. Their Chiang Mai speciality, Khao Soi noodle was packed with flavour. Oyster entree with a touch of Thai was a delight. Roast pork basil stir fry won our votes too! Love the Thai hospitality and cosy ambience!

Delicious Thai restaurant. We ordered the chicken pad Thai, beef see ewe, prawn spring rolls and crab spring rolls... it was delicious! Whilst it’s a little on the pricier side, the take away containers are packed full of noodles. I deducted a point because I think the noodles needed some more vegetables. Will be back :)

After spending the last week in bed with the flu, made the executive decision to have a quiet dinner out with one of the klan. Drove off initially heading to a local cafe but remembered this quaint thai place in doncaster east and headed there instead. Plenty of empty tables , but don't let that fool you; food is f#$king amazing! The majority of their business is phone order takeaway so avoid sitting near the door (mental note for next time). We ordered sweet and sour chicken with vegetables with steamed rice, pad thai with prawns and chicken and vegetable spring rolls for entree. Fresh flavours , fresh produce and beautifully presented. Can't fault this place. They lose 1 point for the 80s decor. Apart from that do yourself a favour and head on down.

I have been visiting many thai restaurant in east area, but none of them were very authentic, until 3 months ago I visited this restaurant. The food here is amazing. My favourites are pad thai, fish with tamarind sauce and tom yum seafood. I love the lime leaves in the pad thai soup which added the authenticity of the dish. The waitress were attentive and friendly. The best thai restaurant in Doncaster area.

Visited on a Saturday night and it was busy. Tables were all booked and walk ins had to wait 5-10 minutes for a table, but all were accommodated. If you want to visit, I suggest you book. We were near the front door, which was a bit chilli with the door opening and closing all the time.
The service was good, but as it was busy we had to catch the eye of staff for ordering and the bill at then end. The food came to the table together as requested. Individual entrees first, then main together as we were sharing.
It is BYO wine and they do provide a wine cooler, just look for the ice!!!! You may need to ask for more, like we did!!
The food was good though. For entrees we had a soup and the mixed plate, which is a small selection of the popular entrees, such as fish cakes, prawn, spring roll etc.
For mains we had the good old green chicken curry, satay vegetables and the chefs special, prawn casserole with glass noodles. Additionally, jasmine rice and a roti. All very nice and it was more than enough to for the 3 of us. We were full!!!!
The total bill was under $100.
The restaurant is close by, so we will definitely be back.

A great local joint with beautiful Thai-style decor. We had the Pad Thai (w/chicken) and Pad See Ewe (w/beef), both were flavourful and well-portioned. There's lots of menu options, something for everyone! Dessert specials available (think mango ice cream)!

I just returned from Thailand and was missing the food so visited Khao Thip. Quick and friendly service, lots of vegetarian options (which I appreciated) and definitely reasonably priced. Appetisers a bit on the small side but still yummy. For main, I had the Spicy Thai Red Curry and it was delish! Would certainly dine here again.

Every now and again you get an amazing surprise when dining out, tonight was ours.

Have eaten here lots of times before and enjoyed it, but tonight for some reason the food and atmosphere seemed a step up. Despite the security alarm going off mid meal.

It is such a shame the wine list is probably one of the worst in Melbourne, which probably also explains why most people BYO.

What is it with Asian style restaurants that know and love their food and present it so well, but settle for below average "supermarket" type wine lists.

We enjoyed an Antonio Luce Sangiovese that complimented the food so well, just enough spice.

Our highlight tonight was our waitress - a Malaysian women that actually knew something about wine and food. They should put her in charge of the wine list !! She also liked the Antonio Luce Sangiovese.

The food was great and very affordable, the service was very friendly and amazing.

Will be back and might try and chat to them about offering a better wine selection to match their amazing food.

And they also need to fix the background radio station and change to more appropriate music.

They would have scored way higher, but for the wine list....

A great little restaurant tucked away in the suburbs. The second we walked in I was impressed by the warm interior, the decorations and the gracious host who greeted us quickly and with a smile. The waitress was very attentive and ensured that we were happy with the food without being overbearing.

The satay chicken and vegetables was delicious with a sweet peanut sauce. The green curry and great flavour, although it could have done with a bit more beef.

Over all a gem of a restaurant if you're looking for Thai in the eastern suburbs.

Great environment. Dinner generally won't be under $15pp though!. Very busy and nice environment with great tasting food! I ordered their Pad Thai which was a lot sweeter than other Pad Thai flavours I've tried so I'm not sure how authentic their flavours are (or if they are trying to market flavours that they think are more well accepted). I personally like food sweet anyway so I still thought it was great. The serving size was just right (not small) for me and their staff were smiling and friendly! I would come back for their curry next time although if you order curry the dollar sign should really be two $$ signs because you are most likely to pay extra for rice (as it comes separately) which will add up to more than $15 (a lot of their sharing dishes are more than $15)

Best Thai Best Price. You really can't go past this local Thai restaurant. We take our three teenage sons there regularly on most Sunday nights and the food is always very tasty, served quickly and at a great price.
For a get together with friends for great food and which won't break the budget - don't go past this place. Heaps of GF and vegetarian options. The beef massaman is among the best we've tried, as is the spicy pork.

Consistent. This is where I mostly go for Thai take away or to take the family for a relaxed dinner. I'm always happy with the consistency of the dishes. My favourite dish is the crispy pork stir fry with the Pad Gra Pow sauce...yum! They do good curries and stir fries and decent entrees. It is not a fine dining experience and the service is OK but the prices are reasonable and the the food is reliable. I am yet to find a better Thai restaurant in the Doncaster/Blackburn area. Maybe only Jintana matches it. 8.5/10.

Reliably Good. This has been our family's 'local thai" for the last few years and it has consistently provided excellent food. Recommend the Oysters entree, and the whole deep fried barramundi as a main. The Tom Yum soup is beautifully balanced and very authentic. Pad Thai is good (but I am not a fan) Recommend not seating too close to front door as it gives an icy blast whenever it opens and is often left ajar. Sit deeper inside and glow in the friendly service.

I have eaten at Khao Thip Thai Restaurant several times now, and got take away for my birthday today.
I have been impressed by the quality and flavour of the food each and every time i have eaten at Khao Thip.
The prices are very reasonable, and the staff are always friendly.
The tom yum prawn soup is delicious!

Old favorite of ours. My elderly father-in-law craves the oyster entree and we can't hold him back. You can have lots of fun tricking him into thinking there are still more oysters under the (now empty) clay tray lids...

Food is consistent.

BYO and licenced (BYO'ers can visit Nick or Dan next door).

Only issue can be the service response. It's always friendly and helpful but struggles when under load (best to dine during the earlier hours)....

Been coming here for so long I can't remember......

What a gem of a find! We made a last minute booking for a birthday dinner. Large group of 11 (8 adults and 3 children) From the our call to book to our arrival, the staff were incredibly accommodating. The food was amazing! We had the banquet and couldn’t have been happier. The drinks could have been filled more, the glasses were only filled 3/4 and they weren’t wanting to fill (even after we asked) But this is a small negative on an otherwise wonderful evening. We’ll absolutely be back!

A hidden gem, I made an online order for a Green Curry and a Massaman Curry and they were both so flavourful. Price is very reasonable for the food you get and experience overall was fantastic. Would recommend

Delicious curries, however small portions. If you like spicy, the jungle curry is quite a good one. Very tasty sauce with lots of vegetables.
