Best Thai in Melbourne. Loved it, coconut rice was delicious and roti bread is the best I’ve ever had. Would also recommend the pad see ew and this fried rice. Service was great, very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back again.
Dim red lights, open kitchen and friendly staff
Curry puff - sweet pastry with mashed veggies. The sweet chilli compliments.
Green curry - great aroma and taste. Quite spicy but the chicken is tender and a generous amount of veggies. Highly recommend the cocounut rice which is very aromatic and one of the best I've tried.
Pad see ew - Having the noodles charred is key to having a great noodle dosh. Tender chicken, soft noodles and great taste. Squeeze the lemon for some zestyness.
Very popular and always packed out with locals! The service was a bit scattered but the food made up for it and the bonus of BYO made it even better.
Will come back for:
+ Fish Cakes
+ Crispy Prawns with green rice flake
+ Prawn Tom yum
+ Roast Duck salad
Lots to love in this restaurant. The flavours are generally authentic and rustic (dishes came cooked with raw whole herbs and spices). We loved the entrees we ordered; the fish cakes were deliciously bouncy, and full of herbs, and the crispy prawns great textural mouthfuls. Great way to start off the meal. The prawn tom yum was tangy, spicy and and the roast duck salad was smokey, fresh and a generous portion. We also had the Steak Laos which although was tender and good was a bit small for the price. The green curry was also on the sweet side, and I prefer a more savoury version of this. The service here is exceptional, and the staff really make you feel welcome. Will definitely be back to try out other items in the menu.
Been to this place countless times. The food never disappoint me. Love the curry and the duck salad. The staff are friendly too. The place is clean. Bathroom cleaners can be improved though.
We went to Bangkok Terrace tonight for a family celebration. The service was of the traditional Thai variety with lots of bowing and the interior was pleasant. I found the food on the spicy side but the coconut rice was absolutely heavenly.
We started with spring rolls and chicken satay for entree. The peanut sauce was yummy with a decent kick. The main dishes we had were Penang chicken curry (we enjoyed it so much we ordered a second), chicken cashew nut and prawn pad Thai.
The prawns in the pad Thai were complete with heads which was a bit unusual to see in this sort of dish and kind of irksome to remove the shell. All of the flavours were there albeit with more heat than I would have liked. Would definitely go back and try more of the menu
lovely place, nice staff, and delicious thai food! the pad see ewe with beef is a definite highlight alongside the crispy barramundi! the vegetable stir fries were average, would defs opt for the noodle stir fries, curries and entrees.
Pad Thai was way too sweet.
Jasmine rice overcooked and mushy, a big letdown to go with the delicious pumpkin curry.
Beef salad was great, juicier and more tender than those in most Thai restaurants.
Green rice flakes coated prawns were perfectly cooked.
Have enjoyed every one of my meals here. They do a great pad Thai, and all the curries with coconut rice are also delicious! Probably had better mango sticky rice elsewhere though
Flavours are really authentic, ambience enjoyable and cosy. Love the Tom yum soup, so good , be it on the small portioning side. Everything tastes so potent. Good service too!
Visited this venue for dinner with friends on a Saturday night. The venue has an excellent ambience to it and the staff was very attentive to our needs. The food was fabulous (I ordered the Pad Thai) and selection of drinks was also excitingly different to the usual choices you see on everyday menus. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has a palette for delicious Thai cuisine.
Amazing service!! Good food, great ambience. Definitely will be coming back! Pad Thai was absolutely amazing and so was the crumbed calamari entree
Open kitchen concept, delicious and fresh thai foods. Been to this place many time and never disappointed. Recommended booking in advance to have nice sitting due to very busy weekend . Favourites dishes too many but here they are: Steak Laos, Holy Basil Crispy Salmon, Crispy Whole Barramundi ,Sizzling Seafood..foods may take up to 20mins waiting but it worth it.
Food is fantastic, very filling! Would recommend. Dessert serving size is a little bit on the smaller side, but still tastes wonderful regardless. Atmosphere is great too.
Atmosphere - bustling, lively, hectic, noisy
Food - nicely presented, tasty but on the sweet side
Customer service - friendly when waited on, you could sense they were understaffed, lacked attention to detail
Price - fair
Would I return? Yes.
My partner and I booked last minute. We had a pile of starters to share. Spring rolls, money bags, prawns and satay chicken. The satay chicken was the best and the sauce was an absolute winner. We then tried the signature dish, ayam panggang. It was a dish that you just keep going back too. Was amazing. We also recieved complimentary coconut steamed puddings. They were gorgeous and silky. Great service as well.
Thank you for the amazing dinner.
Love the food / ambience and the staff is super polite and friendly !!
We are Thai food lovers and I feel this place is best and less which ✅ all u need !!
Crispy barramundi and green curry is a must try and oysters and prawns were amazing !!
Give it a go !
We stumbled across this hidden gem just by chance, making a last minute reservation with 30 min notice. We ordered oysters for entree, Pad Thai, the Sizzling Seafood from their Signature Dishes and to top it off the Chilli Crispy Chicken. All the food exceeded expectations but what took us by surprise was the Crispy Chicken! It packed so much flavour, who knew such a simple dish could be so delicious?! For drinks we ordered the Young Coconut which came in an actual coconut with spoon and all (drink + dessert in one - BOOYA!) As we waited for our mains after devouring our entree, we realised our luck at having secured a table at 6.00pm for 6.30pm. The place was packed by 7pm! To add to the experience, the staff was so courteous, friendly and observant. We were looked after from start to finish. Definitely recommend! We know we'll be making the trip to try more!
The interior of this restaurant leaves me expecting the food to be pricey-however prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious.
We ordered the chicken pad Thai and the pumpkin curry. Both were delicious and perfect portion size. Friendly service, we will be back
Been here three times already. Really enjoy the service and decorations here. We ordered Fried Calamari for Entree, Green Curry with Prawns, Roasted Duck Salad and Grilled wagyu beef for mains. Coconut rice served together with Green Curry was fantastic! Definetly will come back with friends!
Nice atmosphere, always good food. Went with a group of friends and ended up sharing. If you like hot, it's delicious. Staff is friendly and good vibe.
This is our local go to...for anything! Deliciously fresh and tasty Thai with stirfrys, curries and other yummy dishes. The flavours are rich and flavoursome. The coconut rice is the best - we have been known to grab one of these to add to a dish we have cooked at home as its so amazing! Everything is reasonably priced also, so good to buy a little bit too much to enjoy it the next day with leftovers!
My current favourite restaurant. We are obsessed since moving in around the corner and are tracking about twice a week, mostly dining in but have also tried takeaway. Their massaman beef is a favourite and their coconut rice and roti are as good as anywhere in Melbourne. The beef salad, crispy salmon and any dessert can all be recommended. They have a lovely team serving who are super nice and from our second visit onwards have recognised us and make us feel special every time we walk in.

I've been here once before and decided to try it again. Last time I came, service ok and food was decent... maybe that was because of my BYO wine. Second time round service still wasn't much better. Little details make a big difference, such as a smile or friendly hello. I'm also not a fan of waitresses wearing their hair out or really casual clothes when at work (I get that's a personal preference), but it lost some appeal when I saw that.
Food was hit and miss. This time round we had curry puffs, the pumpkin curry (approx $18) grilled BBQ chicken (approx $18), and the whole barramundi (approx $26), with some coconut rice ($3.50 per serve).
The curry puffs had more of a sweet, soft pastry than that crispy pastry, however the filling was delicious. The pumpkin curry was a win and had a little kick - I'd easily order it again. The BBQ chicken was a flop. It was a bit bland and rubbery and the side salad was very unappealing. However the barramundi was also a standout. It was light and full of flavour.
One more negative was that our meals came out at different times. We had been served the curry and the chicken and were told the fish would be here soon. I assumed by "soon" it meant the time it was going to take to the waitress to walk from our table, to the food counter, and then back again. Clearly I was wrong. We waited a good 10 minutes for the fish to arrive while our other meals sat patiently and untouched. We ended up tucking into our food as our friend waited for his dish because I rather be rude, than eat cold food.
The restaurant has a good atmosphere for a date or small group dinner. As a whole it's not bad, and is actually on the list of places I would go back to. If they improve the details, it's a great little restaurant.
Parking in the area is easy, it's close to a tram stop, and it's BYO with a $3 corkage.
Love this place - flavoursome food, reasonably priced and always busy. Last night wasn't so busy but service was very slow. Thai green curry is a must and their coconut rice is one of the best I've had. One thing I absolutely hate about this place - it's always so bloody cold. Aircon seems to be on 24/7 and even when u complain, they bring little heaters around instead of putting on the big heaters - don't get it.
From reading the reviews, I have to admit I didn't have high expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised when the food was delicious. Would definitely go back to try more of the menu. Nice friendly service and great decor
Some of the freshest tastiest Thai around. The home delivery service was great. We will undoubtedly order from here again. Thanks Bangkok Terrace. Yum!
Definitely the best Thai in Melbourne. I always have the green or red pumpkin curry and it's always consistently good. It's exceptional value for where it's located and the waitresses are always topping up our jugs of water without even asking. I have come across the chef doing fire shows in the kitchen outlooking the dining area not sure if this is a regular installment or if it was part of a function but it was like being by the riverside at Crown.
Great local, easy to order and efficient service. Tasty and food portion keeps my wife and I happy for dinner and lunch
The food presented well and taste wise a bit above average. Food come quite fast considered the place quite busy on Thursday night. But the only minus are the staffs. Quite hard to get them to look at you so we need to wave or to call and we need even to a bit to call loudly when we asked for the bill. Oh well...
Gorgeous authentic Thai food that's absolutely flavoursome! Pretty pricey but a wonderful place for a romantic date. It is slightly loud inside, however, it adds to the Thai atmosphere
Great place for Thai food. Amazing tastes with a possible western twist?? Staff are great too. Thanks for a nice evening great green curry nice snapper and some great Thai beef.
After a tedious phone ordering session involving repeated confirmations we enjoyed a free home delivered meal as local residents last night. Quite impressed with the speedy service and delicious food. The generously portioned Thai Fried Rice contained 3 large meaty prawns and the flavourful Massamum Beef Curry still has me salivating. We will definitely return to dine in!
Best Thai restaurant in Melbourne in my humble opinion. There is a variety to pick from the menu but my personal favourite is the papaya salad! I love the curry here as well as the coconut rice! Portions are much better than rival Thai restaurants (not naming the obvious). Would recommend and come back for sure!
Great Thai food here!! I come here a bit and the food never disappoints! The hardest part is hooding what to have! The service here is also fantastic!
Was searching for home cook Thai food since I'm Thai and happened to be picky with Thai food. Bangkok Terrace has take me back home and complete all spices and herbs, well combined and balanced. Great Thai food. and Easy to get too. Definitely Masaman Curry, was spot on just like my mum made it.
Will definitely go back again.
I used to live around the corner from here and was a regular from day 1. Highly recommended, good for takeaway but the restaurant is decorated well so it's great place to eat in too.
Very pleasant dinner out locally. Get there early so you can get a chair with a seat back as many are stools. The food was timely, hot and well balanced.
We had the prawn on betel leaf and soft shell crab (special) for entree. We kept it light with a green papaya salad (special) and the choo chee salmon - a might tasty salmon curry (maybe a bit on the sweet side). We shared a serve of coconut rice (a tad over cooked) between us. Total bill was $60 including $3pp corkage. Every single employee is Thai and all displayed beautiful warm Thai hospitality. A really nice evening

I have been wanting to go to this place for a long time so finally ended up 2 weeks back for a friend's Birthday. This was my second visit though, the first one was pleasantly surprising so I wanted to try again.
The restaurant looks very upmarket; loved the interiors. The dishes are well priced and you get a lot of food so sharing is highly recommended.
We ordered Pumpkin chicken, Ayam Panggang, roti bread, rice and Thai Milk tea. Roti bread was absolutely delicious so we ordered more, loved Pumpkin chicken and the flavours of Ayam but we felt it was tad bit too sweet and so was the tea. The service was slow and we had to wait for a long time before they took our order (the restaurant was almost empty so no excuses there).
I would have rated this place higher if not for the bad service and too much sweetness. I guess it is a bit of a hit and miss place. I would still recommend it.
Oh btw try their Salmon Chu Chee, i had that the first time I went there. It was absolutely fantastic and made me come back. Hope they are consistent with that dish.
Great Thai food with a difference! Beautiful interior and a varied, interesting menu made for an above average Thai meal in Camberwell. Food was inventively presented and quite flavoursome. A good option in Camberwell for a weeknight dinner.
This has become a favorite family spot - lovely staff, consistent good food, great atmosphere to catch up. Be mindful food tastes a bit sugary so you may want to ask about that when ordering. Of particular interest is they are Buddhist in faith and they give offerings to the gods every night, set a meal for them and give them food out the front. These are good people.
Great place! Food was delicious, staff were very friendly & definitely value for money. Went there with a group of 9 and we all left satisfied. Would definitely go back!
I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The food felt "authentic" and in any case really delicious. But the seating is not so comfortable, some seats are quite low and with no back.
Enjoyed the food very much. A little unrefined in areas but I think it adds to the charm. Service can be hit and miss but overall pleasant and recommended for a local night out.
Went Saturday night. Place was packed. Seats are quite uncomfortable. Prawns on betel leaf were great. Salt & pepper calamari was a bit stringy. Fish cakes not that great. We had 3 curries for main - chicken pumpkin, Penang duck and beef massaman - all fantastic. Also had grilled chicken & beef which were great. Desserts we had brownies, tapioca - all good
Great for a pre movie dinner.. Plenty of space. Kitchen is in the front so you can see everything they do. They aren't quick on service (order taking or bill). But the food came out in plenty of time. The fish cakes, betel leaf prawn and thai beef salad was not as tasty as I usually like (Jinda Thai-style). Green Chicken Curry was tasty, but a bit watery. Pad Thai was good but the chilli basil beef stir-fry was not chilli at all (still nice). Although, not all the flavours were strong, it was nice and fast for our 1hour dinner. We BYO and total was $110 for 4 people. Portions were slightly on the small side.

In the behalf of bangkok terrace,
We are sincerely to say sorry about the slow serviced on the sat 20 august, we just found out about the problem in the kitchen stove and deep fried 20 minutes before opening trading hour, we could not find the technician to fix that on time, we feel sorry for every customers on that night. We will improve and promise to provide a full attention of service
Best regards

Really enjoyed. Family dinner here with teenage kids. The noise and bustle perfect for our group and the food was really delicious. Especially loved the crispy salmon.
Modern ambience. Had dinner last night with a group of 5, waitress was helpful and efficient, no problems with service and meals, pad thai was a little dry and steak laos was disappointing as it only had a few strips of beef with salad on the side, green chicken curry could have done with more chicken however overall a good experience with a busy but cosy atmosphere, would go again in a large group, not a place for an intimate meal for 2 as its too busy
Too many tables for the room. Amazing food which came out at a good pace for a shared meal for 6. Best Pad Thai we've ever eaten!
But OMG this place makes it hard to reach the bathroom so if you are sitting at a table anywhere near this space you are bumped and jostled all evening. We requested a move to a better table and were allowed to move, but only grudgingly. Staff are efficient rather than friendly or helpful.
The dishes at Bangkok Terrace are amazing. Have been there many times and have enjoyed their great selection of entrees and mains. I only fault them on the slow service at times. Especially if you're seated on the table furthest from the kitchen... you can be long forgotten. Room for improvement:(((
Delicious. Went for dinner and was not disappointed. Food was so tasty and fresh it was really enjoyable. Only one thing was that the Massaman curry was a little over salted but apart from that everything was perfect. Great service and food came out reasonably quick. Will definitely be going back.
Absolutely love this place! The staff are so so friendly and the meals are delicious. Even better that its BYO. Great traditional atmosphere. It's a great place to go with a small or big group.
Great food, nice decor but crap service. Our meals came out at a reasonable pace, but our 3 mains were brought out 5-10 minutes apart. Also not one staff said hello, just took orders or placed food onto the table without a word. One particular waitress had a very short skirt on with a dinner plate size tear in her black stockings - it looked like she didn't care. Have to agree with a couple of other reviews about chipped plates too.
I'd go back as the food is great (especially the wagu beef salad and roasted duck), but staff need to lift their game.
Love it! Regular customer. I have been here three times now, the food is just fantastic. Went here last night for my birthday dinner and the other 8 people with me all agreed everything was delicious. My favourite dish is simply the coconut rice, I can eat it on its own it's so sweet and perfectly cooked. Will definitely be back!
Beautiful Thai food but very slow/inefficient service.
Beautiful decor and ambience with plenty of noise and friendly staff. Food quality varied, most meals were nice without blowing us away. One chicken dish was drowned in sweet and sour sauce. And dishes arrived at our table in a pretty haphazard way. BYO is a must, as is booking! it is always quite busy so make a reservation. Penang curry is very spicy, but yummy. some vegetarian options, mostly with silken tofu. Betel leaf entree is a cheap and tasty starter, and the spring rolls were crunchy and yummy. Overall a fun night out but don't expect the best Thai food in Melbourne. We will definitely be back though.
Great food, great value. Very good, creative food. The prawn on betel leaf was outstanding, and so was the roast duck salad. The papaya salad, salt and pepper calamari, massaman curry and holy basil salmon were very good as well. With BYO wine our dinner came to $35 per person. Excellent value! The place is a bit crammed and was very noisy on a Saturday night so it's not suitable for a quiet, intimate dinner but it's great for exceptional Thai food at a very reasonable price.
Great fresh food!. Dined here for the first time. Really impressive fresh, tasty food - loaded with herbs and quality ingredients. My two children (11 and 12 years) loved it too. Service at times a little patchy - ie had to get waitresses' attention but I can very much excuse that given the outstanding food - and they were always friendly. Would go back in a heart-beat. The green papaya salad a stand-out amongst an impressive line up, as were the fresh spring rolls. Duck curry divine too. Well done Bangkok Terrace!
Quality Food. Easily the best Thai food you could ever find, and reasonably priced. Great decor, only suggestion would be for staff not to rush the diners so much.
Caught up friends here last night and it was great. Food delicious, not too expensive and atmosphere just right. Could have had another dish but no-one checked on us and has to ask for dessert menus. This is a small issue that would not have any impact on my decision to go back. Highly recommend
Great service, delicious food. Had a party for 40 here the other night, staff were very attentive and accommodating. Food was absolutely delicious, and was brought out together despite the large numbers. Will definitely go back!
FINALLY! Delicious fresh Thai and they delivered! Green flaked prawns and prawn pad thai incredibly fresh and tasty. Vermicelli spring rolls not that great- wont order again but happy with meal and delivery time 45 min window delivered in 35 mins
Waited over 1.5 hours for main. 3 in the group received mains others had to wait even longer. Only received mainz after constant requests. Should have called in for takeaway from the table. Never again.
I’ve come to Bangkok Terrace quite a few times and tried a lot of different dishes. I highly recommend the Massaman Beef Curry, which was the highlight of the night. It was tender and very tasty. The duck salad was very delicious and the Pad See ew was ok. The deep fried salmon dish was very crispy and the sauce had a nice sweetness to it. Enjoyed the food and it was very filling.
Wonderful Thai cuisine. Soft lighting. Excellent service. What a beautiful restaurant.
April 2021: Delicious Thai cuisine. Highly recommended.
Delightful Thai food. The stir fry and curries are particularly delicious. The staff are always friendly and the service is fast.
