The restaurant itself is pretty and cosy, although it's a bit out of the way (unless you like hanging out in Buckley Street). That said, the food is good and very well priced. They also do takeaway. It's a nice place to go on a date (if you're single) or to go with your partner (if you have one). I highly recommend it.

Larb ped yang is loaded with crumbly twice baked rice that lightly coats a perfectly seasoned and cooked duck breast. Pork Pad Cha is a symphony of sweet basil, kaffir lime leaf and fresh peppercorns. The pork fillet is sliced to a thin streak and arrives on a sizzling hot plate. Taro custard served warm is a perfect closer especially for the knee high crowd.

Was able to BYO but also noted they had some good staple wines available for selection. Highly recommend, we'll be returning for sure! Was very quiet for patrons (maybe because it was midweek?) but takeaway seemed to be flowing in and out of the door.

Roti with Satay sauce. Yes. This entree from Baan Thai is one of my favourite things to eat in…read moreMelbourne. It is seriously good, and reason enough alone to head to this Thai restaurant in Rosanna Village. The décor is calming and stylish and the second level makes this small space appear bigger then it is. The service is charming if not a little erratic and there is a limited beverage selection so BYO. Now to the main event, the food. It is consistently delicious. Have I mentioned the roti? Please don't be dissuade by my obsession with the roti, the rest of the menu is great in itself. Thai curries mingle with spicy salads and noodles. Everything on the menu is good, no great. The dishes taste as they are made from the freshest ingredients and the flavours are simple yet complex, like all good Thai food should be. Baan Thai also delivers in the local area and the quality of the food is maintained here too. Check the website and phone your order through, it is popular so on Friday and Saturday nights make sure you leave at least an hour. Baan Thai is a consistent and welcomed addition to my families birthday dinner rotation. And did I mention the roti?

Don't let the location put you off-it's not the best, infact it's pretty terrible but if you can get past that you won't be disappointed. The coconut prawns are to die for. The duck curry is amazing!! I can't recommend this place highly enough!!

There was a lot of dishes on the menu that I would like to try. We weren't starving when we got here ... so opted to share some chicken satay sticks and chicken spring roll entrees, as well as sharing a main of pepper beef. They were all really tasty. Pad Cha are not offering delivery yet but I'm hoping that's on the horizon. They offer $12.50 lunches on weekdays which might be worth checking out.

And, most amazing of all, it's rarely crowded. Two reasons. First, it's at the southern end of the strip. Second, it's actually hard to find. I've been coming here for years and I somehow managed to go past it yesterday because it's so subtly located. Now, don't just take my word that it's a great place. Chat to my companion James from last night. He's a magnificent cook. He loves it here. We both almost passed out on tasting the sheer magnificence of the red duck curry. All other dishes were wonderful too. You are in very safe hands here. The food is great. The service is wonderfully friendly. Prices are also fantastic. Bravo.

The interiors were simple and welcoming. At once we ordered our favorites- pad thai and satay chicken curry and rice. Though they didnt have it on menu but they still customised and prepared. The taste of thedishes was just amazing and authentic. Also thai milk tea added to it. I felt as if I was having food in Thailand. This place is strongly recommended and I will go back again n again...

I thought our luck…read morewas going to be out as every table appeared to be reserved but thankfully a spot for two was available. Note to self made that in future it would be wise to make a booking as this place was buzzing!!! A spicy little salad was brought out to us whilst we contemplated the menu which contained plenty of choices for both meat lovers & vegetarians. I opted for the yellow curry of silken tofu & heaps of veggies whilst my dining companion had the lamb curry. Cute individual dishes of sticky rice were served to accompany our curry. The chefs are more than happy to adjust the heat of the dishes depending on your palate. As far as dessert goes we both opted for ice cream, sampling the coconut & green tea. Both were topped with some interesting but unknown, possibly fruits & rather randomly a couple of kidney beans!!! A nice palate cleanser but next time I think I'd give the topping a miss. Overall a yummy Thai meal in a place with a great atmosphere & excellent service. I will be heading back that's for sure :)

After tasting one dish, awesomely Authentic Thai Food, just BYO your wines …read more... This place is located along what could be the longest esplanade of food in Melbourne or Australia or even the world .... the building doesn't looked prominent, must really looked for it or have the address on your GPS. I just happened to drive pass, the name is so catchy Som Tam which is Papaya Salad in Thai so I stop for lunch. It was a great decision, this Vintage building is tastely renovated, not over-doing it, very smart, great layout, the interior is so simple yet warm and very inviting, just a great ambiance. All those vintage elements are still there blending in with the modern decor. The long dining table at the back Courtyard is stunning. You will enjoy their Toilets too, stunningly renovated and fitted, WELL DONE! On the wine by the glass, the Riesling was a disappointment though, next time I shall BYO. Now to the food, based on one dish alone, Massaman Beef Curry with Jasberry Rice (Red Rice) at $10.90 - Lunch Special Menu, I can say that the Chef can cook authentic Thai. Curry flavour was balanced, not overpowering sweet nor too coconutty, other spices are prominent, just right, Beef was tender, Sweet potatoes not mushy. Enough curiosity to come back for more. Looking forward to coming back for either Lunch or Dinner so I can order more. Quite an enjoyable lunch, thank you Chef!

Head on over to Baan for a meal and leave all the dishes behind! Cooked a stew and want some rice to go along with it? Walk to Baan and buy a $2 serve of rice. They make a large variety of Thai dishes including all the ubiquitous favourites like pad thai and spring rolls, but for my money this isn't where the value is. Instead look to their soups (tom yum, tom kha and a clear broth variety) and the curries for varied and interesting flavours. It's cheap, quick and easy and a massive feed can be had for under $20 per head. Mad props to them for allowing payment on all credit cards.

We ordered chicken dim sum for entree, bbq chicken noodles and a laksa. Bbq chicken noodle was average in taste, talking about laksa it wasnt anywhere close to what it should be. Plus they did not even have proper soup spoon cutlery for it. But to the surprise there was no sign of entree and we were halfway done on our mains. When we asked for entree, the server told us in return that we should have told them to get the entree first. WHAT CRAP, doesnt that what entree means?? We also took pad thai as takeaway which was equally bad. All in all a very bad experience and would not ho back here again.
