First visit and will be back... food is fast fresh and a good price... service is good the restaurant clean... make sure enjoy the caramelised pork and the pad Thai... awesome!!!
I went to Nara Thai today for my farewell work lunch and it’s a real shame I’ve only just discovered it’s deliciousness. It was super reasonable pricing and the pad see ew was super yummy, plenty of flavour and the service was impressively quick.
I also enjoyed the atmosphere the only issue was a bit of confusion in the ordering. We had five chicken pad Thai at the table and one pork. All of dishes were announced as chicken but then when someone said one was pork they randomly said oh this one is pork in a very unconvincing manner. I’m pretty convinced it was also chicken and realistically they should have just remade the dish. One of them may have eaten pork who knows!
We came here for dinner and tried the recommended caramelised pork belly and Tom sap pork soft bone soup and they didn’t disappoint. The caramelised pork was crispy and has the right sweetness to it but the soup is the star.. it was so flavourful and well balanced seasoned love the combination of sour, salty and spicy! My daughter wanted to try the soup but it was a tad to spicy for her. The waitress kindly offered to make a pork soup for the kids (not on menu) but alas it was a different kind of soup. The one they made for the kids was sweet and used pork minced and vegetables. Although it is still nice in flavour it cannot beat the Tom sap soup. I wish they made the option of spicy and non spicy.
Overall we loved the food here and will definitely come.back for the soup!
This place is so so good. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Including fried rice, pad see ew and particularly the beef massaman curry. I would say it’s the best massaman I have ever had! I don’t know why it took me so long to try this place but I will definitely be coming back.

This area is not known for a lot of food options, but this place has something special to offer. We ordered fish ball, kra pao minced pork, tom saap, fried rice with crab meat, and to wash it down, Thai milk tea.
The fish ball came in three skewers, with three fish balls on each skewer. The fish balls are dunked in a wet batter before frying and it creates a nice slightly crispy layer before the firm but bouncy flesh inside. The dish is covered with Thai sweet chili sauce, might be a bit too smothered for some but otherwise it's a nice combination. You can tell that the fish ball itself had a decent amount of seasoning that went into it which makes this starter dish worth getting.
The tom saap is a hot and sour soup served with generous amount of pork soft bone. The cut can be described as the end of the rib and the soft bone can be eaten as is. The soup was extremely flavourful and stimulates your appetite further.
The fried rice with crab meat may look simple, that's because it has everything it needs to make you want more (we did exactly that with a second order of this). It has noticeable amount of peeled crab meat and it's cooked with this sauce that really adds a real umami layer.
The kra pao with minced pork is good but nothing extraordinary, with a lighter than usual appearance.
The Thai milk tea was served in a small bottle. Taste is definitely there and not a weak tea. When served over ice, it's a perfect thirst quencher and doubles as the perfect finisher to the meal.
Had a casual dinner here with a couple of friends and had an enjoyable meal. I had the spicy noodle with chicken with a side of chicken wings - both of which were delicious!
The ambience was nothing out of the ordinary but comfortable. Staff were friendly and service was efficient.
Loved this place! We had the pad see ew, spring rolls, coconut rice, roti and eggplant dish. Super super delicious and very reasonably priced. Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere, 100% recommend this joint to everyone
This place serves one of the best Thai food around in terms of quality and value. The prices are cheaper and the portions are big. The tom yum soup was well balanced with a generous serve of 4 prawns and the stir fry was packed with beef, veggies and oomph.
Great local Thai in the St Kilda road vicinity. The dishes are pretty authentic and the Thai sausage is something different that I haven't seen anywhere else. Be careful when asking to make the dish spicy as it will burn a little! One current favourite for a quick bite within the area.
I'm always on a hunt for good and reasonable Thai food. Nara Thai is very reasonable and serves amazing food. I have tried their Green Curry, Pad Thai and Cashew Chicken. Everything is delicious here. Visit here for lunch if you are around South Melbourne.

I've been to Thailand and I love Thai foods.
I'm sure Nara is the best Melbourne Thai restaurant. If you want most decent Thai food with awesome price this is the place to go! They also have tab Singha beer as well which is freaking awesome
Pretty tasty food in decent portions :) I think they kinda captured the street food aesthetic and style while retaining a modern feel to the restaurant.
Service was amazing and atmosphere well crafted to deliver a top dining experience at this respective price point!
Having worked around the corner from here, I don't know why I have never tried the food earlier.
I can honestly say it's some of the best Thai food I've eaten. It was a very busy lunch service yet the food came out in around 18 seconds. It was piping hot and extremely flavourful.
When you add to that the reasonable prices and good size servings, I'll be back :)
Green curry was fabulous. Great spicy flavour and reasonably priced. This restaurant has a nice interior and the staff are friendly, service is good.
Went to the new dumpling restaurant around the corner but it was closed so tried Nara for the first time. We went for our standard dishes to try them out. Massaman and beef with basil. Delicious. Some of the best I've had. They alsi managed to find the hottest chillis! Bun and dumpling to start was ok, nothing special. Will go back. Not expensive either.
been to here once and fall in love with the food, really really good to taste and the interior is amazing
