Great place for cheap flavourful Thai dishes! I've been here several times and my favourites are Pad Kee Mao and Soft Shell Crab Papaya Salad. Pad Kee Mao was savoury with a bit of spicy kick. Soft Shell Crab Salad was just perfect - never knew deep fried crabs go so well with papaya salad! Definitely worth a visit

Ordered through door dash and the food came relatively quick, and upon arrival was still warm. Although the portions looked small, there was actually a good amount!
Tom Yum Hotpot with Seafood mix 4.5/5 - the taste of lime definitely was evident but did not overpower the other spices and spicy notes of the tom yum soup. The seafood variety was good and there were a good amount for two people as each had 2 pieces (fish, mussels) with a few pieces of squid and a good amount of mushrooms. As you get down to the bottom you can taste more of the lemongrass and the peppercorns but overall was a well balanced thai flavour tom yum.
Crab stir fry with yellow curry 5/5 - They definitely didnt cheap out on the crab meat, and so I would say even though the dish was relatively pricey, it was worth it. Each spoonful had a good chunk of crab meat, and the curry gave it a nice umami and spice to the dish, yet can still taste the sweetness coming from the crab. The peppery notes from the scallions and greens also paired nicely, complementing the dish. Overall recommend if you feel like rewarding yourself!
Was craving some Thai food today. The weather's super cold and cloudy, so i was craving some warm soup. Not many places actually have Tom Jued Tao Hoo (clear soup with egg tofu, cabbage, minced pork/chicken with some other vegetables) on their menu. But I was so happy to find out that Ying Thai 2 Lygon does!
I ordered the Tom Jued Tao Hoo with Minced Chicken and it was delicious. I personally feel it's quite pricey considering it's $14.9 for one container of soup, egg tofu, veggies and a bit of meat. It did not come with rice. But I was craving it real hard that I no longer cared when I ordered haha.
The 🐟 Fish Tom Yum was also delicious. Loved the amount of chili 🌶 the chef had put into the soup. It was burning 🔥. But I loved it as chili and spice are my favorite! It did not come with rice either.
Overall, I liked it and wouldn't mind ordering it again when I crave for Thai food. It's just not something I'll order so often as it's quite pricey.
An Oldie but a goodie!
This Thai restaurant have been around for a long time now and everytime i visit it is always packed with people. They showcase authentic thai food at its best and it always a favourite. Be sure to make a booking as they can get quite busy
My favourite dishes are their thai gree curry, pad kha prao, and pad thai! Would always order this dishes everytime i visit.
Came here with friends for dinner as we enjoy Thai cuisine, plus I really wanted to try this place given it’s overwhelming popularity.
Overall impression of this restaurant, good food with standard serving size. Not too heavy on the coconut milk, and at least I could taste the flavour of the food rather than coconut milk flavour.
The dishes we ordered were quite delicious, service was quite efficient and friendly, only thing was they don’t accept pay pass, also charge quite high on the surcharge of the card payment.
I must say, for $15.90 this is the most generous portion of Chicken Pad Thai I’ve ever received. Great value and more importantly, fantastic taste. A great authentic Thai spot hustling amongst Italian cuisine on Lygon Street. With a little touch more friendlier service and bigger catering ability, Ying Thai 2 would well be on its way to being the best Thai restaurant in the Melbourne area. 5 stars regardless.
This is the best Thai food in Melbourne. Everything is amazing, from the crab meat to coconut rice. They do get pretty busy so get in early!
One of the oldest establishments on Lygon street and for good reasons! The food is authentic Thai and will tingle your taste buds. The two dishes you must try are the crispy skin pork salad and the crab curry. Make sure to make booking especially during dinner time.
This restaurant was very popular and crowded on Wednesday night. We went there without booking but they welcomed us and provided friendly services.
I like the tea set and plates of elephants.
It was great experience and nice to come with friends and children who can't eat much spicy food.
One of the best Authentic Thai Restaurant in Melbourne!
Been coming to Ying Thai regularly for years and i can say that their consistency in cooking their dishes is superb!
One of my favorites are the Crispy Pork Skin Salad (Yum Sam Grop) and their Pad Thai! So sooo good 🤤🤤
Their other dishes are great too as you can see in some of my pics below 🤤
You can’t miss this restaurant if you’re visiting to Melbourne!
Love Thai Food! 👌🏻👌🏻
P.S. They have a parking space in the back that no one knows 🤫
The food is authentic and delicious especially the yellow crab curry. Service was friendly but could be more attentive. We were seated upstairs and whilst the room was beautiful, two large parties were attending (one with 5 screaming kids) and the noise was deafening. Left the venue with a headache.
Authentic Thai food.
Tong yum is spicy and lots of lemon grass, lime, chilli, spicy tangy deliciousness! Must try!
Green curry was very creamy thick and just the way Thai food should be.
Coconut drink was very refreshing just comes frozen so you may need to add some water maybe
The pandan chicken and crab cakes were yummy!
Fish was also 😋 delicious
What more i can say! Come here! Its deicious!
Value for money too
Food was amazing, flavours very strong. Great variety of Thai dishes, and everything smelled incredible, too!
Went back here after 10 years and still tasted superb and great service as always
Our favorite Thai restaurant in Melbourne.
