In my opinion most authentic Thai in Eltham. Had the stir fried chilli, basil chicken and also garlic pepper chicken store fry. Both very tasty, plenty of veg and also decent level of spice, authentically done. Well priced too for Thai takeaway, and friendly service. Would certainly be my pick of the Thai food in area having tried them all.
Reliable and consistent. This is my local go-to for Thai take away. The food is good and when dining in the service is attentive, amidst a nice atmosphere.
Food was exceptional, came out fast and the service was very professional and friendly. The food was also presented very well. Will definitely be going back.
Thai food is always a winner for flavour and this place is certainly no exception. The Tom Yum soup was one of the best I've had and the green curry was also delicious.
However, there were one or two things about the meal that detracted from the overall quality. For example the tofu used was the harder variety of tofu which was a little tough and not overly enjoyable in an otherwise nice curry. The same tofu was used in the noodle stir fry which almost made the dish unpleasant.
In addition, the vegetable Tom yum soup ordered did have a piece of chicken in it. Fortunately it was not a big deal for the person eating it but if a dish is ordered off a vegetarian meal, you would hope that something like this doesn't happen.
Other than that all the food at the table was very enjoyable and well liked.
The service was also very friendly, quick and attentive which was a big plus
Overall, some really nice aspects about the evening and some things that need a bit of work but I would definitely come back here for local Thai or to grab some Thai takeaway
Always friendly and accomadating. Food consistently good. We visit once a month. Our 1st Choice restaurant to dine out. Comfortable and clean. Reasonably for quality food.
A spur of the moment decision to dine here after heading into Eltham. Well...we were pleasantly surprised! Great meal , great service and enjoyed the atmosphere too. Will definitely be back to try many of the other dishes that I saw other diners have.
My Thai friend always tells me, if there is no picture of the late King in a Thai restaurant, it's not really authentic. I didn't see his late Royal Highness anywhere during our visit to Nongkhai in Eltham, but what I did see was a neat, well thought out table plan, wonderfully attentive service and great food.
For me, the best thing about the place was the design. There was simply a great sense of having your own space to converse, not jammed in against too many tables.
Hood vegetarian options, including no fish sauce or shrimp paste in the curry meant my vegetarian was very happy, and although the Gang Penang curry was a little heavy with fish sauce, it was still rich, luxurious and tasty. Great roti bread, beer that comes in a glass, not just a bottle, and an excellent Yum Toa Fu were the stand-outs of the night.
Well be heading back for sure. Delicious.
Food was very nice. Although the restaurant was pretty full, we still got fast and friendly service and our glasses were continuously filled. No complaints.
We had really pleasant dinner at Nongkhai tonight. A group of six of us share a range in entrees and main dishes along with rice and roti. All beautifully present and full of flavour you'd associate with Thai food. The staff were attentive and helped us select our dishes and the quality. We were really satisfied at the end of the evening.
Have been here to eat a few times and also have got take away from here. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Value for money and the food is amazing. Will always go here when I need to get my Thai food fix :)
Easily the best Thai food I have had in Melbourne! The staff are so nice and prices are affordable! Can't wait to go back on the asap. If going you need to try the panang chicken curry ohh to die for !
Absolutely lovely place. They have delicious food and the service is really nice. The staff were attentive and the decor was lovely.
The only issue was the state of the bathrooms, they are clearly not frequently attended to. Other than that, it's a great feed at a great price. Sure to enjoy!
Brilliant Thai food, we often order vegetarian spring rolls followed by the red duck curry to share along with fluffy steamed rice. The curry itself is always delicious and reduced to perfection and the rolls are crunchy and full of flavour. Very consistent quality too, highly recommend.
Nongkai Eltham is one of my favorite Thai cuisine restaurants. The food is always delicious and the service is fast. The staff are friendly and very attentive. The general atmosphere is great- and the venue is really nice. I would definitely recommend this place to those who are after great Thai food in Eltham!
The food here is great. I didn't have to wait long for the food to be served. The Thai Spicy Tom Kha soup is definitely my favourite here. Staff service is also very good and the venue is quite elegant.
Will probably give it another go.. Ordered takeaway from this little place in Eltham as it is always packed when I walk past, so I'm thinking it must be really good. Was asked to wait a bit when I turned up to collect the food, that wasn't a problem, what was a problem was that the order was obviously ready for quite some time as the food was barely warm by the time we got it home (and it's only a very short car ride). Having said this, the food (once zapped in the microwave) was delicious. So based on that I would probably give this place another go - perhaps eating in next time to be sure my meal is hot!
Have visited twice in the last month and love it -duck spring rolls, prwan tom yum and ginger pork belly (specials board) all fantastic. Great food, well priced, we will go back
Good authentic thai food and good service. We had $40 banq and ate well. Nice ambience but needs proper thai cutlery and serving dishes, not plain white plates.
Great Food. Our favorite Thai place! the coconut rice is creamy and delicious!
Im am frequent customer, service is fast and food is beautiful.
Really nice. LOvely decor after its recent refurbishment. Enjoyed the food very much - the curry was delicious. Dessert very nice too. And very good prices.
Good food and friendly service. Dropped by here for a quick meal. The service was prompt and friendly and the food served swiftly. I would recommend this restaurant for great Thai food at a good price. Lovely atmosphere as well
Regular Visitor. It's Friday night, and I'm sitting on my couch eating prawn pad thai and chicken mussaman curry. Does life get any better? We often get takeaway from here and I have dined in with friends on occasion. With the exception of our first visit when they had just opened, every meal has been great.
My boyfriend and I where in the area, and found this place through urbanspoon.. When we arrived it was full we were lucky to get a table. The service was fast and friendly.. Best Thai I've ever had.. They brought out my seafood fish without noddles, but it wasn't a fuss for them to change it for me.. Great work guys, ill be back soon
Wow ! What an addition to the food scene of Eltham. Lovely staff and food that is truly very good Thai food.
Busy from day one as far as I can recall, the attention is well deserved.
A touch more expensive than the other places on main street, but you won't go back to the others-ever (well maybe the Indian which is quite nice, but not the other places in that square).
Such a welcome treat, finally have somewhere to go in Eltham when we don't feel like Indian.
Good take-away. I have only ordered take away from Nonghai Thai. We found the food to be quite authentic and reasonably priced (compared to other Thair restaurants in Melbourne). Will definitely return and look forward to eating a meal in the restaurant.
I love this place. Definitely one of my favourites!
Great food. Packed on a mon night. Average price for a main is $16. Delicious. Highly recommend.
Good Value. Simply put, Nongkhai Thai in Eltham is above average in terms of taste and is great value for money.The venue itself is rather nice with a newly renovated genuine thai theme which makes it a great place to dine in, as i love thai food i have made it my thai local.
My Rating 6.5/10
Good fast service and food was great. Not too noisy so easy to talk to friends. Enjoyed it.
Excellent Food and Service. The restaurant was about 3/4 full over the March Long Weekend. Food was excellent and service was very quick - 5 of us were in and out in about 1/2 hour - although we did only have the main course. Definitely a place to visit again. Main course for 5 people came to $110.
Quick takeaway. I decided to grab a quick takeaway tonight from this place as i have seen it opened up recently. Meal was ready within 15 minutes of my call, pad thai noodles were great, spring rolls crispy and the dipping sauce had a nice tang. I also ordered an extra spicy green curry which sizzled my tongue! I will be back for takeaway and will check out the rest of the menu in a few weeks! HIGHLY recommended for anyone wanting a quick takeaway....
Yum Yum. Had a lovely family dinner (11 ppl) on Saturday night at Nongkhai Thai in Eltham. Everything went well - service was speedy (topping up my drink, setting out plates/rice, taking my order etc) and our meals (8 or so dishes) came within 20 ish mins of ordering and all at the same time (even tho it was flat chat).
Food was delicious, curry was creamy & not too spicy (we don't do well with overly spicy food) and meat was tender. The fish is fantastic, i can't remember the name but it was fillets in a sweet&sour sauce - def order this if you go! Had all the usuals as well, pad thai etc. Couldn't really find too much wrong with it.
I certainly recommend eating here, staff were all nice and helpful and looked professional!
Fantastic food, terrible service. My Pad Thai was delicious and everyone in our group was very happy with their meals...once we were finally able to order. Waited 45 minutes to order. Poor waitresses were run off their feet. Need more staff. Otherwise it was great and will def be back.
Lovely food with quick service for takeaway - highly recommended.
Signed up just to say my dinner there tonight was fantastic. Easily one of the best Thai dinners I have had. I also checked out their gluten free menu as I read the below review and it had about 15 items compared to 60 on the dinner menu. Will definitely be back!
Book ahead as it is a busy little spot. Very tasty meals and great sized take away. Nice ambiance and the wait staff serve in authentic Thai dress add to the atmosphere.
