Thank you to the wonderful staff there. Customer Service par excellence! The food rates as one of the best fusion Thai restaurants that I am aware. Every morsel is a burst of amazing flavours.
Amazing staff amazing food/beverages awesome vibe!!....I had my second experience here last Saturday night and it was outstanding! It was my sisters 30th birthday and she had made a booking at feast of merit for 15 but when we got there they said there was no booking even after she had been there in person and spoken to someone. They were so rude and unprofessional, So thinking on our feet we walked down to Botherambo and asked if they could possibly fit a table of 15. They were extremely accommodating and said they would definitely make it work. We had the banquet and it was just beautiful + all the amazing cocktails! I couldn't recommend this place more! The staff were awesome and so friendly and just made my sisters 30th birthday so special. So what could have been a disaster of a night turned into an awesome night so thank you so much!
Really enjoyed our evening at Botherambo. This is my second time visiting, and the food was just as good as the first time. The red duck curry is a must try, as well as the duck spring rolls. Last time I visited I had the beef cheek curry which was SO good! Great service, friendly staff and a cute and relaxed atmosphere in there. Will be back for sure!
I’ve been here a few times and each time is just as good! Unfortunately for me it’s a place I forget (sorry brotherambo) but the food is always so interesting and delicious! I just wish I didn’t forget out it!!
Defiantly worth a visit to dine or to have a few drinks
Great time, awesome food. Cocktails are FKN next level!
Highly recommend the Paper Crane, it literally has a little origami Paper Crane floating on top.....so cute!
My favourite dish was the Prawn dry curry! Packed full of flavour but a dish you can have as a starter so still had room for so much more! Oh and the ceviche.....um where has this been all my life!

With the growing popularity of Swan Street, there is now so much choice when it comes to eating well. From cheap and cheerful Vietnamese to your on-trend favourites, there is something for all taste buds. Botherambo is at the Punt Road end of Swan, and at the finer end of fun dining. A fancy bar with delicious cocktails and tasty Asian-Fusion fare, the perfect spot for a dimly lit date, or lively catch up with friends.
I’ve been to Botherambo a couple of times, and I highly recommend visiting.
There are so many great sounding dishes on the menu which are perfect to share with a friend or group of friends.
On my most recent visit, a friend and I got the following to share:
*fried chicken wings
*pork belly bao
*sauteed eggplant
*coconut rice
All of the dishes were delicious and full of flavour. The sautéed eggplant had the perfect amount of spice to the sauce, the chicken wings were crispy with a beautiful sweet sauce and the bao buns were the perfect way to end the meal - the pork was cooked perfectly and crisp.
Overall we left feeling full and happy with the items we received, and at a great price too - a total of $61 which also included a non alcoholic beverage each.
Staff were extremely friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable with their sense of humour.

The banquet is soo good! A must try if you don’t know what to order from the menu. Wished that they could swap some meals out for baos though, and when I did want to order the baos after finishing up with the banquet, they tell me the baos are closed!? Since when was there a finish time just for baos, yet the other good was still avaliable like dumplings? Was pretty cut about it but I’ll be back.. for those baos
Food tasted amazing. We got the feed me menu. Meat/ seaood options are alot better than the vegetarian option in the banquet. Tofu salad couldnt even finish however the vegetarian curry was amazing. Service from some workers were good however one of the ladies was abit rude.
A lovely dining experience although the service was a little slow given there wasn't many staff. I enjoyed the food and would definitely go again
Only got to take one photo of our food because it all came so quickly and it was so nice that I completely got distracted!
We got Pork Bao’s, Fried Chicken, Cauliflower and Brisket Stirfry and finished it all off with a Nutella Roti Jaffle.
It was a bit expensive but the quality of the food was incredible. The food came out so quickly and although we did feel a little rushed, it is better than waiting, am I right?
Highly recommend.

I don't think I've found an Asian fusion restaurant that I haven't loved, and this place is no exception. The service was brilliant straight out of the gates, with fantastic ambiance provided by exceptionally cool decor and buzz from neighbouring diners. My friend and I shared a bottle of the pinot noir (excellent) and though we weren't too hungry, we grabbed a couple of things to nibble on. The beef ribs were absolutely outstanding - a real must for those that love flavours that pack a punch. Tender, rich and delicious. Nothing to not love there. The tofu was so soft, seasoned well and absolutely amazing. The whole experience at Botherambo was exactly what Melbourne's gastronomic scene is known for: fantastic service, wonderful food and a brilliant vibe. Loved my time here.

ASIAN FUSION RESTAURANT ON SWAN STREET JUST DOWN FROM RICHMOND STATION
Its named after the adjacent street.. hence the quirky name!
This was my first visit to the restaurant (dinner on a Monday night) with a very fussy (but lovely) friend so I was a bit anxious about what to expect..... well it was delightful and my fussy friend totally agreed!
From the moment we walked in (20 minutes earlier than we'd booked) the service was exemplary.
The waiter was very attentive, had us seated, menu explained and water on the table in the blink of an eye :)
The staff manage to achieve that service sweet spot of friendly and helpful without intruding on your evening.
My (aforementioned fussy) friend always has lots of questions about the menu and the waiter answered them all very enthusiastically and authoritatively. We were especially impressed with his knowledge of the wines on the menu and his advice on matching foods.
We started with silken tofu, which was slightly crispy on the outside and silky smooth inside - dressed in a delicious sauce and salad.
This was served with belly pork.. slightly tougher than I like .. but delicately flavoured and dressed with fresh vegetable and sauce.. yumm!
For main course we had a whole snapper - gently fried and bursting with flavour. Accompanying this was morning glory - perfectly cooked and with a sweet soy garlic sauce and chat potatoes.
I could have eaten a lot more but my friend is a light eater.... so I'll be back soon with big eaters to take full advantage of the menu!
The environment is quite pleasant - a long row of tables with comfortable chairs. It's not noisy. My fussy friend found the lighting to be too low but I found it added to the ambiance :)
The restrooms at the back are very modern, clean and spacious.
People with mobility issues will be fine here.. all on one level, plenty to space to accomodate a wheelchair if needed and a short walk from the Richmond Railway Station.
All up (with 3 well matched wines) it cost us $132, quite good value considering the quality and the service.
I recommend this for a romantic night, a cosy catch up with friends or for anyone wanting good quality Asian food and a good dining experience.
This is a must visit place if you love food!
The banquet menu is the best option and seriously great value ! With a big group it's such a good idea tasting so many different dishes! I've been a number of times now and had the banquet menu twice !
The cocktails are a absolutely amazing !
Delicious food and delicious cocktails, too! Plenty of great things on the menu to choose from and nothing disappointed, I've been itching to get back to try it again soon!
The atmosphere is great, good drinks and the curry was absolutely breath taking! If you’re wanting good curry make your way here! Our waiter was okay but the bartender Tim was so wonderful to us!
Went for lunch and we were the only group there so had super attentive service. Food and cocktails were delicious.
Had dinner here last night. They recently appointed a new head chef. Good vibes coupled with a laid-back ambience. The courtyard is also dog friendly, which is an added bonus. The food has an excellent balance of flavours and the staff were on the ball and very accommodating.
We went for dinner Sunday night and everything was amazing. Staff were on point, beers were cold and the food just kept coming. Hiramasa Kingfish was well balanced and chicken dumplings were to die for; very spicy but loved it. Beef Brisket, Brown Rice and finished off with Asian Greens that were the best I've ever had. Cal and the bar team finished us off nicely with a smoked old fashioned that was superb. We will be back again, thanks for the experience.
