This is our go-to spot when we're craving authentic Pad Thai. Tastes just like we're sitting in Thailand! We've had a few other dishes which are nice, but the Pad Thai is the true winner here. And the portion size for the price is an excellent value.
Great food, authentic style sitting very enjoyable will def go back there again!
Quick fix for weekday dinner
Patee thai is really nice. Generous serving sizes, a really nice, intimate space, and gorgeous décor.
The food is very consistent, too - I've tried the pad thai, the green curry, the duck curry (delicious!) - but a standout for me was the Chicken Galangal soup.
This dish is really tasty!
Service is wonderful, too - very friendly, very attentive and efficient. Definitely going back!
Amazing food and top hospitality from the owner! It's family owned and run so you know you're in for a great feed!
We had the Prik Khing Fish, Pad Thai, Mango Chicken and Green Curry. Highly recommend the Fish and Pad Thai. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. Thanks Patee Thai for a pleasant night :)

Was very busy during Sunday night so decided to pass and came back Monday night.
Arrived at 6pm and there were already customers
The owners were accommodating and we ordered the duck curry, fish fillet and pat Thai .
Duck 5/5
Fish 3/5
Pat Thai 4/5
Price was on the slightly expensive for a small serve but it was great with Zomato gold discount.
The taste was defiantly authentic and much care and ingredients were use. The chef cook the dish all within 6-7 min which was amazing quick.
Staff were very friendly .

I came here tonight with a group of friends for one of my friend’s birthdays. It was definitely an interesting and enjoyable dining experience. The place is BYO for $2 corkage per person which was very reasonable.
We sat upstairs where we had to take off our shoes and sat on the floor which was really cool.
For entrée, we ordered the Pastry pouch filled with savoury chicken, vegetarian and prawn spring rolls. For mains, we had the Chicken with Mango Sauce, the Calamari with chilli and basil and the Stewed Duck Leg in dark soy and five spices.
The food was sensational. Our favourite dish was definitely the stewed duck leg. The meat simply fell off the bone and it was incredibly tender and succulent. The sauce that accompanied the meal was beautiful and zesty. The Chicken with the mango sauce was yummy but make sure to order rice with it, otherwise it’s a bit plain.
The customer service was fantastic! Because it was my friend’s birthday, they brought out a dessert and sang happy birthday which was awesome.
We cannot wait to return here - we loved it.
Consistently good food and excellent service regardless of how busy the restaurant is. Great for large groups and a really nice vibe to the place.
Our favourite Thai in the area! Always very good food, love the upstairs bit where you can sit on the floor. Byo too which is great. One of our go tos
Came here for dinner with a few friends the food and overall abundance was great. The food was immensely amazing and definitely tasted quite authentic. The coconut rice was my favourite along with the satay sticks you definitely can’t go wrong with that. The food was super quick to come out I was surprised? Make a booking next time otherwise they like to throw you out within 1 hour.

Visited with a group of friends. Food here is really good. The moment we walked in we got looked after but reccomend booking a table due to the fact we didnt have a reservation and when we got there we had to finish our food within 1 hour, which was plenty of time but if you wanna continue to sit and socialise you would have needed to make a reservation. Overall really nice authentic thai food. Highly recommend.
Patee Thai was the perfect choice for a saturday night dinner with friends. The staff were incredibly attentive, great vibe and delicious food! Added bonus that they allow BYO wine. We had the vegetarian red curry, vegetarian pad thai, green curry puffs and spring rolls. Oh and ofcourse a side of roti. Could not fault the taste, absolutely loved it! Will definitely go back again.
Consistently good food! I recommend making a booking if you're looking to sit at a table, otherwise you'll need to head upstairs and sit on the floor, shoes off, traditional style. It's cute, but a little distracting for a work dinner when you're trying to avoid awkwardly touching your manager's foot under the table!
The curries are fantastic - I always go for the traditional red and green and with coconut rice to share, and they are filling and tasty. I don't really love most of the entrees as I find them to be similar quality to cheaper Thai take-away places - it's not a bad thing, but I was hoping for more flavour and better presentation considering how good the mains are.
The service is very good and the wait staff are sweet and polite. I really recommend this place for a catch-up with friends or for a casual date night.
Best Thai food I have eaten outside of Thailand. Can’t get enough of their food. There Tom Yam soup is amazing. Do be careful, spicy, does means spicy here!
Went here recently before a night out at the movies. The dishes are lovely and the staff attentive; the main draw for us though is definitely the decor and the ambiance. I don't know anywhere else in Melbourne quite like it and highly recommend it for a date night or an intimate dinner with friends. They allow BYO as well, which is always a bonus.
My favourite Thai takeaway! Excellent coconut rice - a sign of a good Thai place, in my opinion. I always get the beef and basil stir fry which is generous with sauce and vegetables.
Enjoyable place. Lovely and comfortable space. Great service. Good authentic Thai food like the good old days before “contemporary Thai with a western spin” came onto the scene. Reasonably priced too. Booking was a breeze with Zomato.
These guys have been around for ages and they’re always consistent, I haven’t had any bad experiences from here and I’ve been going for years. I recommend!
Warm cozy restaurant to come to on a drizzly winter evening. The food is delicious, and they add a decent amount of extra spice if asked! Service was friendly and efficient, and there were a decent number of ethical options on offer.
Can't get over the atmosphere, fantastic food every time I've come by and I would for sure suggest sitting upstairs! All top quality Thai menu!
Went on a busy Friday night, quick and friendly service, there are a few choices for seating, upstairs/downstairs and normal table and chairs or sitting in the floor on cushions. Really nice decor and atmosphere, almost felt like you weren’t in Melbourne anymore. Great choices on the menu and a small specials board (the crispy chicken was amazing and crispy) we shared a few dishes and I couldn’t fault anything. We had the lamb massaman, the duck leg, roti and coconut rice. Will be back again with more friends! Oh and it was BYO, $2-4 per person I think!

Back again with a large group, sat downstairs this time. Great service and great food. Everything was so tasty! We shared a lot of dishes between us and it’s great value for money, will be back again!
My favourite Thai restaurant in Melbourne. Not a fan of driving into the city but a nice Sunday dinner is great. Massaman curry is my favourite dish here
Came here with a friend and we ordered a red curry with duck and a chicken pad Thai. Both dishes were very tasty. Service was excellent. If I’m in the mood for Thai food I would not hesitate to come back again.
My favorite Thai restaurant in Melbourne! Delicious food and cheap booze, nuff said.
Place is a bit tight as the space is quite small, but the food and friendly service make up for feeling cramped.
Wish I didn’t move to the West side so I can come here more often!
The food itself is standard, enough for you to have your Thai fix but it's not mind blowing. Service is always great. I love the experience of being in the restaurant because I am really immersed in the culture and hospitality of Thailand.
Good feed, standard Thai Food though wouldn't mind seeing them try to do something creative, fit out has been the same for along time and is getting stale, but still a decent feed.
A reliable regular for us. Having scouted around the Inner E/SE Melbourne suburbs for Thai, we keep returning to Patee Thai Windsor. Pleasant, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Timing can adjust to our request - not always common at Thai places. As for the food? This is what draws us back the most, with the depth, breadth and height of flavours that Thai can deliver with quality, fresh ingredients. The vegetable matching is abundant, combining with other elements for a richness and texture that most Thai places don't provide. The ambience could be described as a bit dull and aged, but somehow it works in this traditional setting. Strongly recommended dishes include the Chicken Satay and Roast Duck Curry. We prefer sitting at the tables with chairs downstairs. Recommended Thai!
We found the food here delicious and pricing is very reasonable. We ordered take away and the food came quite quickly but I have eaten here before and really liked it. Good atmosphere when we were upstairs and sitting on the floor.
I spied this one night whilst searching for a park en route to Mr Miyagi and the next time the Thai craving struck it was top of mind. Up the stairs we went, the shoes came off and we sat on the floor traditional style which made for great ambiance. The food was fantastic too very authentic and reasonably priced. I'll be back
Really authentic and lovely restaurant. Love the traditional seating arrangements. Food is respectable, but nothing blew us away. Prices are also reasonable
Patee Thai is a regular for me. Food is always delicious and the staff are lovely. Great for a group,especially upstairs with the cushions. The duck and massaman curries are faves
Loved our visit to Patee Thai on Friday night. Great atmosphere upstairs and the service was great even though they were busy. The food came out quickly and every dish was delicious. The green, red and massaman curries were all full of flavor with tender meat and the pork belly was crispy. The stand out however was the Pad Thai! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the taste was perfect. Will definitely come here again.
I thoroughly enjoyed my night here, Saturday night! Very lively venue. Sitting upstairs on the cushions was great and all the dishes we ordered were delicious! My favourite was the Paid Thai and definitely the Satay Chicken! Will be back!
Love this place. Very consistent food. I've eaten at the restaurant which was nice and a fun experience as you can choose to sit on cushions on the floor and I've ordered it delivered many times. Always great.
Usually I find Thai take outs a tad ordinary but this one blew my mind! So delicious and tasty, we ordered a mix of pad Thai, cashew stir fry and curry, would order again in a heart beat!
Good service and food. Great location in the middle of everything on Chapel Street. I would recommend the Pad Thai and shrimp spring rolls.
Cracking spot. Request to sit on the cushions upstairs. Pad Thai is a 10/10 and the green chicken curry is a ripper. Top form. Strongly recommended.
Love this place, the ambience, most importantly the food. Had the massaman lamb which was made to perfection. Also has the best tom yum soup. The grilled chicken is a dish to try for sure. Amazing food and great value for money. A not to miss place! Must try :)

We enjoyed sitting up stairs on the floor on comfortable Thai cushions which we have done many times in Thailand,so that was a really cool experience. Lovely traditional service & great food.
Ordered delivery for dinner, came earlier than expected and food was delicious. Lamb massaman curry was tender and spot on. Cashew vegetables were good too.

Favourite Thai in the area for take out and eat in!
Very reasonable prices for delicious food. The peanut sauce is to die for - have it with the prawn crackers or chicken skewers. Our other favourites are the lamb Massaman Curry and the chicken Pad Thai.
It's BYO too!
Take away can be ordered via Menulog.
Great Thai restaurant south of the river. Equally good take away/delivery. Masamam curry is a fav. Friendly staff; always a winner. Can get busy; book on the weekends.
My partner and I went to the Prahran restaurant last night...Absolutely beautiful food and great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our glasses were always full with water. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves a relaxed atmosphere with good food and wine.
The area tends to have restaurants that claim they serve a particular culture dish but usually it involves expensive fusion. Not the case with this place. It's like being back in Thailand. Brilliant food.
Great selection of traditional Thai dishes with plenty of vegetarian options. Patee Thai has two levels so can really cater to a crowd. We sat at tables however there is an option upstairs to relax on the cushions on the floor with lower tables.
The menu has a range of banquets however our group all ordered individual meals with roti each and a big serve of coconut rice for the table. All of us enjoyed our meals and the decent sized servings.
A great night out with quality food and we were able to BYO wine which was a bonus.
Great food and vibe in the restaurant. The food was quite nice, ordered the mango chicken and the fish fillet in sweet chili sauce. Both were delicious. A bit of of a wait on the coconut rice, but overall it was a good experience.
Amazing food, the best Thai I have had in a long time. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend to everyone would go back anytime. Delicious!
Best pad thai in the south east suburbs. Love this place. The pad has is delicious and high quality. The roti bread was fresh and perfectly cooked and we tried some new thai dishes in the menu. Went last Saturday when the weather was really cold and it was do warm inside and a great atmosphere. As a foodie I give this thai place 5 stars. Highly recommended!
Patee Thai make a good curry. The ‘chicken green curry’ and ‘lamb massaman’ are my favourites. The green curry has an incredible balance of flavour and is the perfect consistency not too thick, not too runny, it’s just right. The massaman is thick and moreish. It has an intense depth of flavour. The authentic flavours take you straight to Thailand with each mouthful.
Unique atmosphere with tasty food.. Food is great, portion size varies depending on meal. Coconut rice is a must have side dish. The place is very exotic in terms of interior. If you go upstairs you are required to take off your shoes and sit on cushioned floor in a very traditional thai style. Definitely do go if you enjoy an authentic thai atmosphere. The lighting is ambient and comforting and the music is not overwhelming. One issue that I do have with the place, is that the waiters/waitresses hang around you while you're eating a little too much. Often pulling plates away before your companions have finished their meals. This can get a little annoying, however I wouldn't deter you from giving the place a go. Food is pleasant and not overpriced.
Good value, good food. You get your moneys worth here, that's for sure. I ordered the pad thai and it was a heaping big plate. Almost too much for one person. That's what i like to see. Also, it was pretty tasty as well. I didn't find it bland at all. So, the pad thai here passes the test. This is one of my new favourite places.
Festivus - Good Thai. Enjoyed my meal no doubt about it and the service and ambience good
I would call it a safe Thai spot
Reasonable pricing and very good entres
Delicious .... Had the prawn spring rolls for entree, they were so tasty, they were actually whole prawns rapped in pastry.... Incredible
The roti was my favourite, dipped in the red chicken curry... Am definitely going back. And is byo too! One of the best Thai in Melbourne I think...
Delicious. Tried Patee Thai for the first time last night. It didn't disappoint had three mains to share, the red curry, pad Thai and Thai beef salad. All dishes were delicious. We also ordered home delivery they said 45min it was here in 30! Definitely order from there again.
Always good. My partner and I have dined here on more than 10 occasions and we've always been satisfied. Quick and polite service with fresh and enticing food selections. Highly recommend.
Amazing!!!. Love this place, beautiful food and very nice staff who are very polite. The green curry is amazing. My partner and I always go to this place for a quick bite before a movie. Also BYO is also a bonus!
Beautiful authentic thai, great service, gorgeous little restaurant! perfect atmosphere :)
This place is great. awesome flavour...nice staff. well priced.
Solid 7/10. Normal pricing, food was tasty and the service was very efficient (almost over enthusiastic, taking plates away when we had just finished entrees). The atmosphere was loud and bustling, which we like, and the food came out quickly and decent portions. I see mixed reviews from others, but we would definitely return, it was good normal Thai food without trying to be too fancy. Drinks were pretty cheap too, so if there's a group of you who want to eat, laugh and make a bit of noise - without breaking the bank, this place is all good!
Yummy. I ordered Prawn Pad Thai and basil and chilli calamari home delivered. Loved it! Especially the calamari. A very happy customer :)
Ordered a simple prawn Tom yum and pad Thai noodles from Eat Now. Delivery was quick and food very fresh and satisfying. Definitely will reorder!
Solid. cute sitting on the .... Solid.
cute sitting on the floor upstairs.
Ate dinner here last night for my 38th birthday, very happy with the service and food, very busy but staff were very attentative and food came quickly and was plentiful and delicious, will be sure to return..
Great atmosphere! Delicious thai food! Friendly, attentive staff. We went here to celebrate a birthday last week with a group of 8. Will defintely be eating here again!
Love the noisy and chaotic atmosphere upstairs where you're sitting on cushions at a low table. Food was really good, I'm a big fan of Thai food to go next door but the food at this place was better and pretty much the same price. Will be back pretty soon.
Love patee thai. We find it hard to try other restaurants in the area as we always want to return here.. Chicken satay entree is in our order every time, and find it hard to pick just 2 mains now as everything is so good. Try the lamb curry, duck curry or the fish fillets...
Best food thai on chapel. Pad thai = incredible. hands down, the easiest meal to order on chapel. you won't be disappointed.
Suggested by a friend. Had satay chicken as entree was amazing! Cooked to perfection and the sauce was better then my mum makes which I thought I would never say. Got the Stewed duck Which was a favorite at my home town but this place managed to top it, perfect meal defiantly recommend!
This place is the bomb...such a shame that is next door to Thai to go!!
Good honest Thai. My wife and I used to come here years ago and haven't been back since we moved to the suburbs over 14 years ago. It hasn't changed. We brought our 16 and 12 year old girls who loved all the dishes. We chose standard dishes - Thai fish cakes were 5 small 50 cent sized portions with a great sauce. They were plump and fresh. Lots of steamed rice for us with the red beef curry and green chicken curry which was hotter than the red. Great flavours and lots of sauce. The Roti was perfect. Pad Thai noodles had tofu and a reasonable amount of large juicy prawns. We were upstairs which is mainly floor seating but we were on tables. If you're on the floor - tip - you have to take your shoes off. The menu is not adventurous - it is safe good reliable tasty Thai with good proportions and in the the very funky, very busy part of town. It's BYO wine and very reasonable.
Best, best, BEST Thai food in Melbourne! Inexpensive and authentic, the Red Curry is a must-have. I went here the day I got back from Thailand and the food was just as good!
Patee Thai. Great restaurant for a girls night out. Bring your own wine, sit upstairs on the cushions on the floor and enjoy tasty thai fare. The cashew prawns are delicious, nice medium spice levels, good flavour, perfectly cooked crunchy vegetables and juicy prawns. Its cheap and cheerful here and most will enjoy.
Long lived favorite! Always great food, never let down in consistency and quality. Very friendly staff and a grey authentic Thai feel to the place. And great prices too.. one to try, coriander chicken omg amazing!
Best Thai food ever! The coconut rice alone is worth a visit, and the staff are just so friendly and attentive. Sit upstairs. Love It!
Patee Time!. Delicious food, good portions, friendly staff. Better to BYO and dont wear expensive shoes or socks with holes in them as you have to de-shoe when dining upstairs.
Great environment, one of my favourite restaurants.
Really friendly staff and a great atmosphere! meal was delicious and tasted just like the food i had in thailand - the pad thai noodle with prawn tasted particularly authentic. will definitely visit again!
A local favorite...keep it quiet.. Choose a nice bottle of viogner or moscato from a nearby bottle-o, then head upstairs and kick back with friends. Sit on the ground on Thai pillows and contemplate your existence over ridiculously cheap yet fantastic thai food. Always a pleasure.
Amazing. This place is amazing! The service was superb and the food was plentiful and tasty. I will definitely be returning.
Never had a bad experience here, food is served quickly within about 15 mins we were served everything at once. Calamari was soft and all vegetable fresh. The Asian greens and pad Thai are a must
Delicious and authentic Thai food served by lovely staff. If you can, try requesting to sit upstairs in the lounge area, it's a great dining space with beautiful cushions for those happy to sit cross-legged.
Look it's not the world's best Thai food but it's pretty darn good, affordable, venue reminds me of some of the more fun places I went to when living in Thailand. You'll have a lot more fun here than the over priced posh joints.
So glad I discovered this place. They have an upstairs section with cushions, dim lighting and decor that provides comfort and relaxation whilst you dig into exceptionally delicious Thai cuisine. We ordered the roti, chicken satay skewers, rice, prawn spring rolls, red curry seafood, pad prik khing pla and chicken pad Thai. The roti and pad prik khing pla was the highlight. The broth of the curry was also very tasty! Highly recommend getting a few plates to share. The service was also exceptional. The gentleman serving our table was very attentive and did some great upselling. Perfect place for a chill date on the upstairs cushions or a dinner party with a few friends. They also have tables if you prefer.
Love the pad thai with prawns.
It’s an interestingly old venue. The staff were attentive and friendly.
They also have a good selection of Thai beers.
