Fresh, flavourful and genuine thai food. Love the menu and fairly priced! They can make a really good coffee too, but it depends on whose working because I know I've had the new girl a few times. The Beef & Chinese Broccoli dish is my go-to when coming home after uni, so so good.
If I had to choose one cuisine to eat every night it would be Thai food. The bright punchy flavours, all the herbs and chillies, the freshness in every dish, oh my I couldn’t imagine anything better. Ghin Kopi’s menu is as a large as me and with pictures! I love seeing what a dish looks like, especially when i’ve never had it before. And what do you do when you have a menu that big and choose just a few dishes seems impossible? You order a feast.
A small but nice little thai restaurant. I like my yellow chicken curry, it had lots of chicken and a bit of zest. Serving could be a little bit bigger but it was pretty good.
I've been here a few times. Sometimes it's great and sometimes a bit average. The staff are friendly enough but often look like they're not fully "present" or "mindful" that I am a customer and therefor a king. It seems they would rather be on reality TV but wouldn't we all and this behaviour is common with people in Windsor / Prahran so I don't expect too much. Anyway, tonight's chicken fried rice was a bit claggy and low on vegetables and nobody there told me I looked hot so this instantly results in the loss of a star. The decor is ok too but that isn't as important as people finding you attractive. I'll let you know if I have better luck next time.
Mostly just get takeaway from here. Always on time and the food is always good so no complaints really. There's heaps of Thai places around Prahran/Windsor/South Yarra but I keep going back to this one.
A local favourite and you can't beat the quality for the price. Delivery is very reliable and with takeaway you're not waiting for longer than 15 mins. Would easily recommend for anyone looking for cheap Asian food on Chapel.
Have not eaten at the restaurant but had take away a few times via eatnow. The food is always fresh and hot and delicious. The Tom yum fried rice is a favourite and the satay sticks, roti and Penang curry were great as well. It's a small thing but I really like the food containers they use and the last order the food came in a reusable shopping bag and some free prawn crackers. :)
Ordered from them twice now and both times the food experience was amazing. The food is great food for what you are paying. It is very well packed and it is delivered sooner than what they tell you. Its starting to turn into my go to place to order.
I fell in love with this place right after stepping in. The decorations and furnishings definitely transported me from Windsor to somewhere very exotic! Very comfortable and lovely place to hang out!
Although it was lunch time, the restaurant wasn't very busy, which added to the relaxing feel of the joint.
Service was decent, and we ordered our food quickly as we were famished! The menu is large (literally), and quite extensive. I tried the pad Thai with egg net, which was an innovative twist to the typical dish. The serving was very large, and definitely worth the $13.90. It was quite fragrant and the egg was really fluffy! However, I've had better pad Thais elsewhere so it wasn't that special (except for the egg net).
Also for some reason, my friend's pad thai was way sweeter than mine (overly sweet), so I'm subtracting 0.5points off the rating xD
Anyway, this is the perfect place to chill and catch up with people. Very relaxing and prices are very reasonable!
Good but no The Thai on Chapel.
An absolute hidden gem on Chapel St and Melbourne in general! Have been twice now, both times fantastic food and prompt service! Have rolled out twice now from self inflicted over eating! I'd recommend the soft shell crab dish, super spicy and will get you going!
Had their Massaman beef curry, which is probably one of the most varied dishes I had, many tastes to be discovered of sweet and chili flavors, very good mix. Though I asked for the beef to be minced or cut in very small pieces which didn't happen but the tasty soup made me forget that quickly! Didn't have any other dishes from there yet but keen to try other on my next visit.
Yum. The design of the restaurant was interesting, the water glasses, wobbled but they couldn't tip over. While waiting for the food, it was fun to actually play with the glasses.
The menu's were gigantic, and they had lots of pictures of the food. Whilst the cocktails were cheap and delicious.
What really tipped this was the deserts. We took them home, and devoured them. Delicious :)
Worst Green Curry I've ever had! EVER. I was starving and didn't eat it.
Been here loads and normally love it. I will never go back after today. Food like this should never go out the door. 7/4/15. No other way to offer feedback. Sorry!

Food is amazing - but lady on phone can never get address right!. We love this food. Packaged well. Delivered fast, well kind of, the girl has never ever got our address right. She is actually hopeless. We try and spell it but nope she gets it wrong again. 5 times now.
Oh well, will order online next time!
Thai favourite!!!. I love this place :)
I went here in April with 3 other girls and we did the banquet. Then went again Saturday night with my Mr.
I actually love the over sized menus, and the staff are lovely.
The place is well situated close to Windsor station on a hustly bustly street.
As for food, paad thai, glass noodle salad, fish cakes, green and penang curry, excellent coconut rice and Tom yum soup!
Great prices and portion size!
Excellent Restaurant. Ghin Kopi service, dining experience and location all make this a wonderful restaurant. The staff have always been friendly and speed at which food is served is also a plus for the hungry patron.
Will definitely be returning to eat here again. Thank you Team Kopi :D
Excellent service and food!. My partner and I eat here regularly. The food is excellent and the service is great. We've never had to wait over 10-15minutes for our meals to arrive. The serving size is fairly decent - satisfactory. The meals are bursting with flavour and the vegetables are crisp and fresh. The restaurant itself is fairly small but clean and welcoming. We've never had an issue with the staff. It's a bonus that the food is really cheap in spite of the quality and quantity. You definitely do get more than what you pay for here. If you love thai, you must give this place a go! We've no complaints :D
Best reasonably priced Thai in Melbourne. As an avid Thai food lover, I am pretty fussy when it comes to Thai food and have tried every restaurant in the South Yarra/Prahran/Richmond/Windsor area. Ghin Kopi is my new fave! The vegetables are incredibly fresh and, unlike many places, the meat actually doesn't taste reheated. When you ask for a 'mild' curry it doesn't burn your mouth out like other places and the desserts are incredible too. My fave dish is the red curry duck. The coconut rice is also probably the best I have tasted in Melbourne.
A lucky find. After discovering that the restaurant we'd decided to meet friends at for lunch was closed (like many others) on the Saturday before Easter we came across this place.
We ordered Satay Beef to start with and it was quite good and the serving size was plenty. The sauce was thick and in much higher quantity than I would have expected but the taste was good. We also had the seafood coconut soup and an order of Pad Thai.
The soup was hot and spicy with good Thai "YUM" flavours and the seafood was cooked well. I'd have rather liked the tails had been removed from the prawns, but this is my own preference. The Pad Thai was tasty but lacked a little flavour and could have used some crushed peanut for texture.
All in all we were pleased with our meal and would not hesitate to return.
Authentic Padthai Chicken !!. This place is epic. The skinny guy makes everything carefully and with nothing per-prepared. Padthai is amazing. Never a bad call
Wonderful, flavourful food every time! Flat noodles with chicken and broccoli was amazing, as too is the beef with ginger!
Love this place. It's underrated, affordable and delicious!
Yum. I went here with a friend last night and really enjoyed the food, we had the duck curry and chicken basil stir fry. Great flavours and good portion sizes, would come back again!
Great. I've eaten here four times.Menu is huge Each time the food was great seriously well priced So cheap!!! . The service was more than ok with a smile
Food consistent, service lacks. I've eaten here three times. Once eat in, twice take away. Each time the food was great. The service is a bit lackluster. Apparently you can order your food at the table, but have to walk up the barista to order and pay for a coffee separately. Very weird. But it's a great chicken pad thai.
Unique little cafe. For me this place is another place for breakfast / brunch -- as I am the what people call 'breakfast person' -- I love breakfast most ... I'm a fan of all the breakfast place. Ghin Kopi has the best poach egg for breakfast I have ever had -- even we had to wait to have table but it was able to create my best memory meal there !!! A brunch ... one was Eggs Florentine (POACHED EGGS W/SPINACH, CRISPY BACON & MORNAY SAUCE) ... healthy dish indeed ... in fact it contained all my favourites in ... poached egg, bacon, and spinach ... Yeah !!!

No ordinary place. This funky place is no ordinary Thai restaurant. Right across the road from the Windsor train station on Chapel Street. It is in the heart of our cafe culture right here in Melbourne. I’ve visited this funky restaurant a couple of times now and find myself at home listening to the good tunes and ordering my coffee. The front half of the restaurant boasts floor to ceiling windows that showcase its prime corner location to the world passing by. Fantastic grand light fixtures and features throughout the dining section behind me cast a warm glow on an otherwise grey day. There is also a function room upstairs that has a view right down the guts of Chapel St. Awesome place to be for breakfast, lunch, dinner or an espresso fix like I am today.
My flat white, is calling my name and is inevitably a pleasing cup of coffee. It doesn’t last long, gone in minutes! I would have liked it a little hotter, perhaps. I finish with a nice round espresso, extracted by my attentive barista Billy! He is a great host and adds to the fantastic atmosphere at Ghin Kopi!
Authentic Thai. We went to Ghin Kopi using a voucher for lunch. There weren’t many clients, the service was excellent, we were asked if we were ready for the next course and the food came out quickly, we had several seafood courses. We have eaten in Thailand many times over the years and we love Thai food. Ghin Kopi food was excellent and retained much its Thai roots, my only complaint was that the calamari was probably made from frozen product and was not particularly flavoursome but overall the food was typically Thai and quite enjoyable. This restaurant is well worth a visit.
Had a scoopon seafood banquet - Amazing! Spring rolls fabulous! Very well priced too. Will definitely go back.
Great for takeaway. I love the food here, although it is a little overpriced and the service can be odd.
Have sat in for breakfast here, and also had takeaway for dinner a couple of times. No complaints with the quality of the food - delicious.
Service was friendly, food was lovely, also reasonably quick, I'll go again..
Tasty thai. Oh my god. We went to this litttle unsuspecting restaurant recently and I had the thai beef salad, which I think was the best I have ever had. It was so good I didnt want it to end! My fellow diner next to me had similar feelings about his tom yum. I have already gone back! The beef salad was quite different in appearance the 2nd time round, and with a bit less juice, but was still fabulous. My partner had the crab which he commended, although complaining it could have had a few more vegies! The servings are generous and well priced. That goes for the food and the wine by the glass. Will definitely be making this a regular. My only comment would be that it is very fast. If you are after a long slow dinner you may need to do so me stalling :)
Great!. Went with a voucher which was accepted with no problems. Excellent food and great service. The entrees were great however did not give as much value for money as the mains which were delicious and generous serves. We had no hope of eating all that we had ordered (two people, two entrees and two mains) so took enough home to have a good lunch at work the next day.
Good value and fantastic food.
Great TIE. Pandanas wrapped chicken was delicious and so was the green chicken curry.. been back there plenty of times and have never been disappointed

Having just returned from Thailand I can truly say that Ghin Kopi hits the nail on the head. I've eaten here 4 times and have made my way half way though their menu. The food comes portioned appropriately, not sparse nor generous but perfect for their rich flavorful dishes. The coconut chicken soup is an amazing blend of crisp fruit, tender chicken, juicy tomatoes in s Silky coconut broth. Also the papaya salad (true authentic Thai dish sold on almost every street stall throughout Thailand) brings together the fundamental elements with modern presentation and flavored to create a dish that I believe is better then any of the real thing I tried whilst overseas. Try their soft shell crab and phad Thai. MMmmmm the gem of this restaurant is their sticky black rice with fresh lychee and thick hot coconut creme. For reasonable prices, friendly Thai service and fresh crisp healthy food, Ghin kopi offers a great place to dine and not feel guilty afterwards This said, their menu is lacking. Where's the purple tofu and coconut cream desert? . . .
I have been in the restaurant many times since last time to give them another chance , food is actually really good so can't help it .
Service improved massively and staff is super polite .
Therefore I am changing my rating to 5 star and recommend the place for a great Thai food experience 👍🙏
japanese kind of style tiny narrow shop, would be good if they redesigned so the counter space had the cooking happen in front of you.... but food was really great judged over several meals & both takeaway & eat in was same high standard.
Tom yum chicken here is the best,
I love this place for soups mostly.
Out of interest I went through my emails and I've had Krua Thai delivered at least 44 times and never had a dud. By far my most go-to delivery place (and I think the first time I've left a review for somewhere). Hit up the beef curry puffs, fried rice (with pork for me, chicken for the wife), and the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli, all great.
15-20 seats inside, 2 tables outside. Not with big seating place but Asian style. The flavor is good and tasty, the price with the size is reasonable in this busy area. Not a decent place for formal dining, but a casual touch for family.
Great food. Musman beef and Red curry duck with veg. Yum. Not much of a dine in experience, only 12 seats. No toilet have to go to McD across the road. I would go back.
