A family-style place with a cosy atmosphere and delicious food. We tried yellow curry beef with coconut rice and tom yum fried glass noodles. Loved everything especially the coconut rice which has a rich coconut flavour and right amount of sweetness. The curry and glass noodles were flavorsome as well. Also impressed by the variety of options on the menu, and plenty of vegetarian options. We are looking forward to coming back again
Date night dinner. Our first time here but we never steer from the tried and true classics of massaman and pad thai (although we do occasionally mix it up with pad see ew). Not much going on atmosphere wise but decent prices and delicious flavours and aromas. Not the easiest to park on busy Bay st but they do have the option of takeaway. Very authentic fish cakes took
The Emerald Elephant is my local Thai restaurant and has been for some years now. Well positioned on Bay Street with indoor and outdoor seating, this is a must try. The food is always amazing with equally as good service. Plenty of vegetarian options available and is well priced. They also deliver. Just the best.
One of the best value meals you will get in Port Melbourne. It's worth coming for a meal just to have their rice paper rolls. Good for eat in or takeaway.
Great Thai food! Anything I order is always delicious and great for an easy meal. Always my 'Go To' Thai place when I am after an easy take away dinner. Thanks!
Fantastic food always a pleasure to eat in at lunch with work colleagues. I was shocked to read the reviews for this place because of how often Ive been coming here for Thai.
My colleagues and I continue to come here for lunch and is our preferred Thai Restaurant on Bay St in comparison to the many others in the vicinity.
Service has always been fast and prompt and the food has continued to be delicious and fresh, full of aroma.
I have never ordered delivery from here before so that may also be why my experience is different to others.
If you want a nice, cheap Thai place that offers a quick lunch services in a friendly restaurant environment, it is worth considering a trip to Emerald Thai!
Always good for take away. Live the yellow curry and massaman beef!
Top Shelf Tom Yum. I live near Bay St and this is one of the restaurants I frequent. The food is consistently very good especially the Tom Yum soup. It's really outstanding!
T for Terrific Thai!. Ever get cravings when your at home menu in hand and not sure what to eat... Emerald Elephant delivers quality and taste! Authentic thai food that will make you sing! Pad See Ewe Beef is delicious! with Coconut rice order the large so it can accomodate the Beef/noodles. You MUST get the Prawn spring rolls with the red sweet sauce make sure they have it if you order take away it is to die for!!! Keep up the good work Emerald Elephant! xx
Ordered takeaway from here tonight. Super fast delivery. Ordered chicken with cashews and special sauce as well as satay beef. Satay sauce was massively addictive, beef was a little bit chewy. Chicken and cashew was really nice as well. Will definitely order here again!
Nice place for a relatively cheap and quiet meal.
We pre ordered and went there for lunch. The food was ready on time and the service was great. Wouldn't necessarily call it cheap, but it tasted awesome. Nice service, basic decor, definitely recommended.
Beautiful authentic Thai. I've now had the lunch special (meat dish, rice and entree for $12) and had home delivery. The Yellow Curry was rich and creamy, with a strong lemongrass flavor - absolutely beautiful. Tom Yum soup had the depth of flavour you get when in Thailand. Overall, some of the best Thai in Melbourne. P.S. they served their samosa's without any dipping sauce. I was most perplexed and asked where it was. The answer: they have enough flavour that they don't need a sauce. Sceptical, I was proven wrong. Unbelievably yummy as is.
Phenomenal! One of the best eats on Bay Street. Recommend the Pad Prik Sod with beef, and Red Duck Curry. Excellent value for money. Get in! Love it!
Great little eatery with simple, clean home food. Easy on pocket. Family run place with a good wine list. Quiet atmosphere. Recommended.
Beautiful fresh and delicious cheap but certainly not an indication of the sheer quality A+ a definate top 10
Excellent pandan chicken, rice paper rolls and original Thai fried rice. Everything cooked perfect. Service is a little basic but the food more than made up for it. Wonderful.
This place is sooo good. Price, service and great tasting food. I've been eating here for years and always feel the love!!! The owners are real respectful and the atmosphere most welcoming. Food always fresh and a good serving. It's so hard to find good food at this price. Today's lunch I had soup $1 and a noodle dish with chicken and vegetables $13.50. I recommend you give it a try. Just a gem in Port Melbourne.
My partner and I uber eats from here tonight because the first time we had it in person was delicious, and we weren’t surprised when it was just as good the second time!
The meal was really hot and fresh, great flavours - certainly my favourite Thai restaurant!
Highly recommend the Green curry, Pad Satay sauce and coconut rice!
There aren't many businesses I go out of my way to locate their pages online to leave a review, however The Emerald Elephant is simply WOW! The freshest and tastiest Thai we've found in Melbourne, brings back fond memories of Thailand local food. Amazing food, amazing service, a must!
I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian noodle dish I got and found it delicious and flavoursome.
Service was a little slow and the table water tasted like plastic. Amazing quality food though and great value for money.
Delicious & Authentic That food. One of the top thai food spots for sure
The best Thai iv ever had. Green chicken curry 10/10, coconut rice 10/10, pad Thai 10/10. Prawn spring rolls 10/10. Great prices and service
