YUMMMM!! Unlike your usual mid range Thai food around, FOMO Thai delivers Thai dishes the way they should be. The Thai Ice tea is a must try! don't be fooled by the simple name, this is not the usual Thai ice tea ( even though it claims to be) it came out served in a small bottle, together with a glass of ice cream , coconut meat and peanuts. Pour your milk tea in the glass and get ready to be amazed! The chicken wings entree is a plate of around 8 small size chicken wings. We also had the pork belly, mackarel curry, deep fried som tum and BBQ chicken. ALL of them were tasty and not one unsatisfied diner all night :) WE'll be back !! read more

FOMO Thai - Thai Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

I admit it, I was having some serious FOMO watching people check in here all the time. So on a recent cold and wet Melbourne night when I had a hankering for something hot, soupy and delicious I decided to give Fomo a crack at my all-time favourite Thai test: Tom Yum. Such a simple dish is sadly so easy to bugger up, and it seems that so many places don't bother to get their Thai soups right because they have all those strifrys and curries to wow people with. I'm pleased to say that Fomo did a mighty fine job. Their Tom Yum is loaded with seafood, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and what I think was shredded coconut bits. It came served with it's own little candle heater underneath so it remained hot as I slurped my way through it, dipping my sticky rice in to the broth. At just under $17 it certainly wasn't the cheapest Tom Yum I've ever had, but it was satisfying and very tasty and coupled with some rice and a Thai iced milk tea, I got out of there for under $25. Next time I'm keen to return with a group of friends, as the menu here is just a little bit different with seven types of Som Tum (madness!) and all manner of grilled meats to choose from. read more

FOMO Thai - Tom Yum and sticky rice. - Thai Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Absolutely delicious food. We started with the crying tiger (char-grilled beef tenderloin, served with tangy dipping sauce), which was tender and perfectly prepared. Then we had very good pad kee mao with seafood. We also had a dish with soft shell crabs, which was amazing. All three dishes were very authentic and a great find. read more

New Thai place. Woo!! Is it bad that I actually remember old store that housed this new gem? Well, it was a clothing store. So maybe.. Anyways, about Fomo. Ambience is ok, nothing really special. Menu, on the other hand, was very nice. It's organized very neatly (my OCD tendencies are pleased). From small bites, to sharing platters, to main dishes. It will serve all the apetites. Food was good. Special mention goes to Duck Larb.. Was so delicious that I'm willing to ignore tiny bone pieces found in it. Pork belly with Red curry was definitely nice as well. Som tum with green papaya was just ok. Bit too deep-fried for me. Overall, I will definitely go back and try few other things from the menu. (Also, the fact place was full of Thai people does say something about food, doesn't it) read more

Organised a team lunch here and was really pleased with the experience. There menu was diverse with plenty of options for everyone. I had the emerald duck which was succulent and came with a side salad and fried tofu. The Basel chill chicken was also delicious with a good amount of fresh chilli for a bit of a kick. The staff were friendly and service fast and efficient. I really liked the bright fun decor and attention to detail. Long benches with stools mean that this can be a great spot when dining solo or for big groups. read more

The previous lukewarm reviews of this place can be safely ignored - this place is awesome. Criticising an authentic Thai place for being too spicy is like criticising a steakhouse for being too beefy! Fomo makes absolutely sensational food. Pleasant decor, good prices (lunch sets for around $12, big mains for $16), and a big, ambitious menu that knows exactly what it is doing. The grilled meats here are excellent, as are the curries. My favourite dish is the grilled beef lunch set with papaya salad. Today I ordered it "extra Thai spicy" and lost hearing in my right ear for about five minutes - exactly the spice level I was looking for! The little side dipping sauce that came out with the beef was really delicious and complex too. But for spice-avoiders there are plenty of dishes with no spice whatsoever or which can be made mild -- I have been to this place with several friends who hate spice and they still loved it. There's a huge menu here with something for everyone. I honestly don't know what it takes for a Thai place to get 5 stars here if Fomo doesn't. Hands down the best Thai I've had in Melbourne. It came as no surprise to me to find out that this place is owned by the same folks who run the nearby Pad Thai, which makes my favourite green curry in town. read more

I have tried this place a few times and always seem to end up with too-spicy dishes that have "toilet role in the freezer" repercussions the next day. Their version of mild means that you can still speak between bites of food eve if you can't feel you tongue and lips. The ambiance is nouveau Asian with tables and benches. The staff are attentive but may struggle to assist you in ordering with broken English. The menu is large so maybe I just keep picking the wrong dishes but I would suggest avoiding if you have a delicate constitution. read more

I went here on a Friday evening and it was easy to get a place at the bar. The menu is massive but the prices are not cheap and there are heaps of drinks including alcoholic drinks. We perused the menu for quite a while before we could decide. My colleague got a beer and grilled squid. I got the red duck curry and asked for it be spicy. I also got their mango coconut cucumber ginger beer drink. My drink was quite sweet but very refreshing. The red duck curry was the best one I've had in a long time. It had a tom yum undertone, the duck pieces were tender, the spice of the dish went well with the sweet pineapple. Just delicious. For my colleague, it was quite spicy but both of us inhaled the dish. Portion size was smaller than what you normally get for a main in a thai restaurant. The grilled squid for 17 bucks was a disappointment. It was more of an entree than a main and I wish we had been told that. Service was quite slow. Brightly lit. Friendly staff though communication can be an issue. Delicious food. Definitely keen on trying other dishes because otherwise I would have FOMO! read more

This place always satisfies my thai food cravings. Their papaya salad is the best along with their grilled beef with chilli dip. I'm salivating just typing this. If you like a sour kick then the tom yum soup range will do the trick. Overall i really enjoy eating here and the price isn't too expensive read more

Good modern interiors. Lots of options for thai food. Not so money options for vegetarians. They do have Pad Thai which is not on their printed menu for some odd reason. We were greeted with a funky old rag smell so hopefully that's a one time thing. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, roast tenderloin and Thai iced pink milk. Overall it was pretty good. read more

My boyfriend and I are regulars here. Nice quality of food, decent proportions, polite staff and quick service. Not as spicy as we usually prefer but we can tackle pretty spicy stuff. The atmosphere is comfortable too, simple, like the dishes. Perfect for when you can't be bothered with fancy, but you still want nice, clean, Asian food. read more

Lovely atmosphere, beautifully presented and delicious food. A little more expensive than what I'm used to (but I'm a broke student.) serving sizes could be more generous, lovely staff. Favourites: yum neur, larb gai. read more

Not your usual Thai (satay, curry puffs etc). Great quality of food and I would say my top 3 Massam curry dishes!! No coffee served here though for those coffee lovers.. Which was a shame! read more

I hv been here with friends and hv a crying tiger and big fish manu its really good and fish ball green curry is amazing! Will be back!

Very tasty Thai food. Seafood pad Thai where the seafood was perfectly cooked. The green curry chicken was flavourful and a solid medium spice. The wait time that was provided for my takeaway was not what was promised and the rice didn't come so I had to come back and get it. I was only 1/2 a block away so it wasn't that big of a deal. This rating is for the food though. read more

This is a FOOD place - not an ambiance place. It's got GREAT Thai food, very authentic and delicious. Very affordable by Melbourne standards. Great green curry with fish balls, wonderful duck. Larb duck - gorgeous. This is a wonderful find in a town with few good Thai choices. read more

Another good experience we had the other evening. The crying tiger (grilled beef) that was our favourite, however, turned out not as juicy and fragrant this time. We like the friendly service. read more

A wide selection of Thai cuisine with a little Chinese influence in it. Decent choice of beers but not wine. The quality of food you get is outstanding. Got the roast belly of pork there for $38. Pricey yes, but oh ... so worth it! Service was pretty good as well. The only thing I was a tiny bit upset about was the space. You're nearly touching elbows with others when seated in the restaurant, and the table space could use abit more real estate. Other than that, the restaurant is a must-visit restaurant for food! read more
