Thai City Restaurant

Thai City Restaurant is an absolute gem, and I have to say, the food is beyond delicious! From the first bite to the last, every dish was bursting with incredible flavors that left my taste buds dancing with delight. And speaking of delightful, Paula, one of the restaurant's wonderful staff members, made the experience even more memorable. Her recommendations perfectly complemented the outstanding cuisine, creating a dining experience I won't soon forget. I can't stress enough how scrumptious the food at Thai City Restaurant is – it's a culinary masterpiece that's sure to leave you craving more!

Homely Thai restaurant with great selection of classics. Pad see ew was particular favourite. Service was exceptional, with Paula catering to our every need. Make sure to stop by next time you’re in area.

Great restaurant right in the heart of Lygon street. Came here for an easy dinner and got pad Thai and steamed vegetables, both dishes were delicious and very reasonably priced. Good portions in a friendly atmosphere, we sat inside but decor inside also looked very nice. Friendly service and quick delivery of meals too which was good since we were hungry! Also open on a Monday unlike many places so it’s always a good place to go.

Lovely service. The lady owner personally attended to us and was a pleasure to deal with. The food is some of the tastiest and flavourful Thai I've had in Melbourne. The prices are very reasonable for its quality and location - but it's by no means a hawker joint.
Highly recommended for one of the best Thai for experiences around.

Really delicious food and lovely service. Super quick and fresh food!

FRIENDLY SERVICE, GREAT AL FRESCO EXPERIENCE AND QUALITY FOOD
Went to Thai City before an iMax movie on a Friday evening. Four of us sat in the outside seating area and enjoyed the buzz of Lygon Street as we dined.
Staff we efficient and friendly. We shared a few entrees (always a good idea with Thai food) and were pleased with each dish presented.For mains we had a dish each. mine was Chicken Pad Thai - just the right balance of heat and flavours :)
I recommend ordering a Thai beer in preference to wines (the latter being fairly ordinary).
We didn't have time for desserts on this visit but be back to try soon!
People with mobility issues will be fine in the al fresco area and just a small step to negotiate if you choose to eat indoors.

The best Penang curry in Melbourne cooked by the Thai lady boss! Wasana is a very good boss and host who takes good care of her patrons. Whereas many places in Melbourne have become commercialized and lost their flair, Thai City is one of those rare places where you can still get an authentic homely meal and taste true Thai hospitality. Highly recommended.

Every dish was so good. Green curry was the best green curry I’ve had anywhere, tom yum and Tom Ga Kai were also extremely tasty, and they do Pad Kee Mao!
The service is soooo lovely.
We will surely be back!

I’m really impressed this restaurant especially vegetarian foods. I’m a vegetarian I really appreciated that so many optional of vegetarian food. I’m Thai so the taste like Thai food and no MSG so that I love it. I want to give 100 star to this restaurant.

Cute little thai restaurant with friendly staff. The food is served fresh and tastes amazing! If you‘re looking for Thaifood that‘s your place!

Got the Tamarind Sauce Prawns and it tasted very good. Try to have the sauce adequately with the Prawns because it might be a bit too sweet. Quantity was more than adequate.

DELICIOUS! Honestly the BEST Thai I’ve ever had and I’ve been to Thailand. Service fantastic, food even better! Will be sure to return when back in Melbourne.

This restaurant on Lygon Street was amazing! The service was fantastic, Jody was very charismatic & polite. The food was a 10/10. No complaints. Try it if you dare! Go now!

My second time have food from this restaurants, for staff, she is very friendly and nice. Food is amazing. And today I ordered from easy, I called them to ask for extra spicy. They give me alooooottr of chilli and food I ordered also spicy. FANTASTIC!! Without need to pay extra! Wow... love this extraordinary service. I will definitely come back... love it!

Went last weekend nice place and delicious food. surprised why it has not much crowd on the weekend. Highly Recommend. Staff is very friendly.

Writing this is support of a Lygon street icon and highly recommend this Thai Restaurant for anyone wanting a well-priced, authentic Thai cuisine.

Whilst we are a regular customer, we have moved far away and it is so sad coming back to Lygon street and seeing the closed restaurants. However, Thai City is an icon and hidden gem that should be high on everyone’s list to visit. They may not have the most up to date decor, but they are true to what a Thai restaurant should be. Excellent, authentic Thai recipes, huge menu and consistent taste.

All of their food is great but these are ones you may not have tried as do not translate well to English…. I highly recommend their goong cha nam pla (raw spicy prawns that need to be tried as JUST like Thailand but it is a little spicy), Tom KHA Gai (best coconut soup in the area), moo dat diaw (individual pieces of dehydrated pork that is amazing with sticky rice - great for the kids as it is without spices and soooooo tasty). They has a fried barramundi with apple salad and cashews - it is to die for (noting they will even chop off the head for those who do not like to see the full fish). Their Thai milk tea and coconut juice are also fabulous staples for the table.

Great to see Khun Wassy and family still operating and delivering Thai food the way it should be. Karen, Sean and the Girls….

Wowwie I love this place, the decor, the food, the service.. very clean and refreshing. Excellent ❤

An absolutely delightful meal. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, not only with their service, but also giving helpful advice for plants to go in the city.

We ordered some curry puffs for starters, then a chicken yellow curry and a chicken cashew nut stir fry, split between four of us, for our mains. It fed us perfectly well, leaving us full and happy. The food was beautifully cooked and was some of the best we've ever had.

By splitting the meals and only ordering one drink, we kept the bill under $80 (<$20pp) without remotely feeling like we were skimping.

There was a lovely atmosphere, both decor and music, and both indoor and outdoor seating options.

We will absolutely be back when we're next in Melbourne.

Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Had had the Thai basil tofu a few times. Great food.

Amazing food, great tasting Thai dishes. Affordable prices, and friendly staff/ fast service. I recommend this place to everyone. Give it a try, no matter where you live in Melbourne, it's worth the visit. 🍜🍲👌
