Loved it, amazing food, great entree. We had the prawns,i could've eaten plate after plate of prawns. delicious Tom yum soup, best red curry I've had in ages, and the roti cooked perfect, soft and tasty, perfect to dip in the curry
Great experience dining here. Welcomed into a cozy atmosphere with great Thai art and ornaments. They have also have a great selection of wines on display.
I started with the Thai beef salad, my first time ever trying this dish and what a fantastic introduction. It had an awesome acidic punch to it with a subtle sweetness. Next our mains. The girlfriend had the pad thai which was sizzling hot, straight off the wok. I can't tell you what an authentic pad thai tastes like but it was the best one I have ever tasted. I selected the red curry, it was a perfect balance of flavours added to the creamy coconut sauce.
Keep up the good work Nathan and Pratana.
5 stars. 10/10 my new Thai goto.
River Kwai Burmese is a smallish restaurant seating60 people in appropriate themed settings.
The staff were lovely and attentive. One hostess even showed me how to use my phone camera when taking pictures of lights. Now that service heheh
Restrooms were clean as so was the kitchen.
We ordered tempura veggies with tamarind sauce yummm and highly recommended
We also order Burmese chicken noodles which came in a Ayam like sauce, very cleaning and appropriately spiced.
Complimentary prawn crackers and peanut sauce was given and we order flaky roti that came with the most amazing peanut sauce l have tried through Melbourne.
4 1/2 star will come with a larger group
Went here with my boyfriend when I craved fish. The fish was surprisingly big! It tasted nice, will come back to try more dishes.
Have been coming here since 2015, River Kwai has to be one of Melbournes best Thai and Burmese restaurants. There is a passion from the kitchen that shines through in each high quality, fresh and flavoursome dish.
The service is friendly and attentive from the manager and team, you can’t ask for a better experience.
Great value, very highly recommended.

A long standing establishment in Clayton- River Kwai serves up authentic Thai and Burmese cuisine, which is extremely tasty.
I came for a family celebration, and the service was friendly and efficient.
We tried the Massaman curry, Pad Thai, Pad Grapow, Papaya salad - and whole fish cooked two ways.
The fish was my stand out of the evening, as was the pad Thai noodles.
As this is an older restaurant, the decor and outfitting isn’t very updated or modern and is starting to show its age, but the food is tasty enough that you look past all that! Have also previously had the Thai green curry and pad siew noodles which are also pretty good!
This place is incredible. The cultural ambience, the service is magnificent, when you enter the place you feel regal through the impeccable features and craftsmanship within the restaurant. My personal favourite dish is the Gai Tod! Its an entree but its a damnnnnnn goood entree. The lighting is perfect for a romantic date. The whole family can enjoy too with excellent service by the waiters who serve with a smile and makes sure it stays there.
So tasty! This place caters for dietary requirements, including nut and seafood allergies, which many Thai places do not. It is so delicious, we always leave the restaurant feeling so satisfied with the meal. We will continue to visit River Kwai - yum!
Ordered takeaways and it was a good choice. Mixed entre was nice (maybe a few too many vegetarian options) and the chicken noodles tasted great. Will order from here again!
River Kwai is Clayton's best kept secret. Beautiful authentic food that is sweet,salty, and sour without being too hot. The service is exquisite -- traditional Southeast Asian gentle courtesy. As there were only two of us, we ordered the chicken strips with sweet chilli and soft shell crab with tamarind sauce from the starters (as the waitress suggested), with the green papaya salad. The generous portions meant that there was more than we could finish. Each bite was delectable -- that tamarind sauce made the crab sing in three-part harmony. And let's not forget the peanut sauce that accompanied the basket of crisp fish crackers that they served while they got our order underway. Make sure to book a table. We got there at 5.30 pm on a Thursday night, and noticed the place really filled up over the next hour.

Thanks for the meal!
Ordered Pad Thai chicken, steamed barramundi, duck curry, beef salad, and fried soft shell crab with tamarind sauce.
Awesome venue especially for bringing guest over. On a winter's night the warmth and decor is both relaxing and comforting. The pad Thai chicken is standard great pad thai. Served steaming hot, it was sweet, sour and salty. The steamed barramundi was particular good value for money. At $25 you get quite a large fresh fish sitting in a light fish and lime based sauce. The duck curry is my absolutely go to. Best Thai curry in Melbourne currently. Love the roast duck, creamy sauce and juicy fresh cherry tomatoes. Will be back with more family and friends!!
Delicious food, with a wide variety of dishes on the menu! We ordered veggie stir fry which was heavenly, they brought in vegie crackers with peanuts which was sooo good. I ordered a burmese curry which was packed with flavour. The portions are massive so had to get the curry takeaway. Service was good, it was crowded, still they accomodated us, will remember to book next time !
Best Thai food in town. The quality of the dishes is consistent. Been here with my friends many times and had no problems with their customer service
Food was delicious. For a busy restaurant, the service was fantastic. We will be back again.
Very good Thai restaurant, asked for some dishes to be 'thai hot' could have been a lot spicer, but very good food, would definitely recommend
Love the tod mun pla | Por pia thod | Vegetarian curry puff | Tom yum soup | jasmine rice | prawn and potato soup - I wasn’t too fond of Thai before I tried the food here and now I’m simply smitten. It’s our go to when we need a food mood booster. A 4 rating only because my order on Uber eats has been mixed up a few times.
