Admittedly we only came here because we left another restaurant nearby that had pet dogs in it, was too loud, etc etc. But sometimes, things happen for a reason and I'm glad we got to try this cute little local gem.

It's got a nice ambience to it; the decor is sweet and the music is nice and even the chairs are ultra comfy and vary from table to table. The menu is as you'd expect for Thai, and the service was good.

We ordered the Samosas, which really are just curry puffs. These were nice, but just needed a meat option like Chicken, for my liking. There was only vegetable, and I felt like meat was missing for sure. Having said that, the flavour was there and they were nice and hot (temp wise). The other entree my friend ordered was the chicken spring rolls which were lovely. Now the only issue with these two items, is that they come in two's. Most other restaurants have them in fours. We switched one out with each other, so we got one of each, but it left us kind of longing for more ...

The main came out in good time and it was really nice. Nowhere near the best I've ever had, but they tried to put some effort into the presentation and it looked pretty. It was Chicken Fried Rice and if you have a Thai craving, it definitely scratched an itch.

We didn't order dessert as the options were way too limiting, and also, we had to ask for menus as they weren't forthcoming (and restaurant wasn't busy), and so by the time that happened, it was almost too late to be eating that.

Having said that, I'd come here again if in the area. It's not one of my favourites by any stretch, but they provide reasonable service in a cute and quaint setting and parking is easy enough and the prices are good. If you're in Port Melbourne wanting a good Thai meal, give this a go.

Struck by an awful bout of the flu, I desperate scrolled through the Uber eats options that would both ease my symptoms and nourish me. Alas, I commit after some time of deliberation on, Spirit of Thai's classic Seafood Tom Yum (pictured below). The composition of this tom yum featured a delightful, fresh variety of vegtable and seafood without being overly dominant of a single flavour or ingredient.The delicate balance of spice and sour never tipping to drastically in either direction.

It has done wonders to my sinuses, belly and the spirit of Hamish!
