We hired every table for my partners 30th and when we arrived they had even decorated the restaurant for us- we were stunned! I highly recommend the larb gai salad if you like a bit of chilli- really packs a punch! For mains we can never go past the massaman curry with beef, the panang curry with chicken or the koa pud fried rice with prawns.

We keep coming here and it never fails us. The dishes at our latest outing were simply wonderful (see photos). We all sat back from the massaman and asked each other how the dish could be made any better. Even my youngest son put the question and believe me he's one of the hardest people around to please. We also all agreed that the staff at this restaurant are terrific including the man who works front of house who is so polite, efficient and pleasant and just does the most wonderful job. Then, I sat back and looked at the bill and dreamily reflected on how they make food this good at such reasonable prices. I'm not sure if the people who own and run this restaurant ever read these online reviews but if you do I've only one suggestion. Please just keep doing what you're doing.

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.

I first started going here when it opened in 2007, and since then it has gone from strength to strength, even opening up in a bigger, more central location on Springvale Rd. The food is fantastic, and the prices are really good. I particularly love their satay vegetable stir fry with chicken, and their green chicken curry. Possibly the best thing about this place is that they deliver, which is awesome for those nights you just can't be bothered cooking. And lets face it, sometimes going out to pick food up is almost as much work as cooking something.

I love this restaurant. The food is great and the atmosphere is quaint and the price is…read morefantastic!!! They used to be in a really small little pokey place that only seated around 10-12 people. I would normally just pick up takeaway. But now they have moved to a new location around the corner facing Springvale road a couple doors down from the Discount Chemist. Much more modern setting, but the parking is a bit of a pain as you compete with The Glen shoppers for spots. But well worth the effort. My favourite dish is the Chicken Pad Thai. It has lovely light flavours and the chilli oil and crunchy onion condiments just top this off perfectly. It's a big portion, only costs $10 and I have it for two meals!!!! The staff is quiet, but very polite. Great for sit in or takeaway!

The food is fresh and unlike many other Thai places I have tried (and there have been A LOT), the dishes are jam packed with crispy, delicious vegetables as well as perfectly cooked meat. Dine-in is BYO and always seems fairly quiet. These guys make a killing in take away but never fear, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for an order. Love it.

The restaurant isn't fancy looking, with signs hand written on all sizes of paper, a/c unit above the front entrance and picnic plastic tables on the inside. People don't seem to care. This place used to be located in Glen Waverley but after hearing a horror story I never went. The move seems to have revitalized the quality and flavour. They do lunch specials and last time I went I was surprised to find a lamington, small tart and blood oranges in my take away bag. I went again yesterday and the place was packed, we decided to sit outside in the cold and wait for a spot. Since it was so busy, we were forgotten outside so I had to go in and order, but honestly I don't expect 5 star service on a busy saturday lunch hour from 2 serving staff. We ordered: combination pad thai, combination spring rolls (half prawn, half pork), double pork chop with rice and my all time favourite salt and pepper tofu! For a huge meal with a box of leftovers, we spent $42 which we thought was very reasonable, the only thing I would change about this place would be for consistent service and better table placement. By the way, you can call up first to order which seems to be the trick as there are very limited spots to sit.

After trying MANY different Thai places, across many suburbs, I have come to the conclusion that…read morenothing lives up to Khao Thip. It's a small place, decorated with beautiful traditional Thai artwork and this creates a warm atmosphere. The service is great and the waitresses are dressed in traditional dresses. There are many options to choose from depending on your mood. Choices like noodles, rice or soup, prawn, seafood, chicken or vegetarian. Whatever your preference in Thai, you'll find it here. They can cater for larger groups, however I would recommend making a booking. The entree plates are delicious and garnished nicely. I find myself here almost weekly, so good it'll have you coming back for more as well.

We went with the banquet option which was remarkably cheap for only $25, the chicken satay was average and the mains were ok. If I didn't Thai cuisine so much I would probably think Khao Thip was excellent, but with Som and Jintana nearby it is hard to really talk up the food here.

They jacked the prices up in the holidays. It is nice, but would only go for occasion.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now!! But seems to be consistently busy / packed…read moreevery time I'm in the area so best to book! Unless you want to eat after the dinner rush hour. Anyhoooo I had to fight hard not to let my imaginary second stomach take control when ordering. The place was packed! No walking space with people waiting to pay and waitresses busting their chops to satisfy hungry people! I wanted to order one of each from the menu after spying what others were eating around me. It's a small place .. Easy to do.. :) The test benchmark for me when it comes to Thai is the green curry.. This was amazingly good! Not sweat to the level of drinking sugar water and the bamboo shoots used were thinly sliced and did not overpower the curry. Smooth coconut along with the herbs... oh man!! hmm this little piggy did not leave a drop! The glass noodle salad at first reminded me of fish sauce in the sun too long... think mild fish sauce that's watered down and ur there. I did like it though.. don't take it apart to eat... The coconut ice cream ... I kid u not .. I think one of the waitresses stole a bite ... found it odd that there was a small wedge missing when it was served. Our teaspoons were clean at least. In testing it out the theory .. we ordered another.. the second one had no wedge!! haha Oh the coconut ice cream served with salted nuts and mild / reduced condensed milk in a small beacon was really good! We could have had a tub of it. Light and not too sweat.
