Thong Thai

About Us

Thong Thai is a sizzling-focused Thai restaurant on the west end of Bourke Street in the CBD's informal Thai Town precinct, where passersby watch chefs fry hoi tod — the crispy mussel and scallop pancake — in a street-facing pan (What's On Melbourne; The Age Good Food Guide, October 2025). The menu spans seasonal salads such as spicy raw prawns and papaya with salted crab, sizzling plates, Thai congee, soups including leng zaap pork-spine hotpot, and wok noodles; the homepage also spotlights chilli basil fried rice and summer specials in the mid-teens (official site, June 2026). Lunch runs weekdays from 11:30am with weekend service from noon; dinner is served daily until 9:30pm. Google Maps lists the venue as operational with active OpenTable reservations and Uber Eats ordering (June 2026). Staff guide vegan substitutions; lunch specials sit near $18 and a 5% cash discount is advertised on-site.
