- Inviting modern interior
Melbourne's funkiest Thai restaurant! It’s hard to walk past Southwharf’s BangPop and not be drawn in. The fresh and delicious Thai smells, the bright colours, the inviting modern interior, and the bikes that line the exterior. It all seems to gesticulate wildly at you, telling you to come on in for a good time. Not just a name that describes the look and feel and taste of the popular restaurant specialising in Thai street food, the titular “bang” actually translates to mean a village situated on a stream. Which this is. If nothing else, BangPop boasts one hell of a view of the Yarra and the city skyline. But then, it does boast much more. Delicious Thai dishes designed for sharing, a bustling atmosphere, and a large, cheery industrial interior. Put it this way: BangPop suits functions, whether a large and raucous dinner, a unique launch party or corporate drinks. BangPop is found along Southwharf Promenade, overlooking the Yarra and the city. It’s easiest to walk or catch a tram down Spencer Street, then wander down by the water. Southern Cross is the nearest train station.

We had a hour sitting before we had to go and attend a comedy show in the nearby Plenary. I had to say the staff were very helpful in getting a table for 4 ready within 4 minutes of arrival. We had our meals within 10 minutes of ordering and had our delicious meals with 15 minutes to walk over. All our dishes were tremendous. The flavours were light and refreshing (and not getting that bloated feeling you might get at other Asian restaurants). Well done to all at BangPop South Wharf

Food is expectedly good. It’s my second time here and service and atmosphere is better than the first time. Paula has provided a great service, very proactive, friendly and helpful with suggestions on the menu. Will definitely come back and recommend this! 💚💚💚

We ordered lamb shank curry, pad thai, chicken grill, and also another beef dish. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and we were served by a really lovely and helpful waitress she gave us good recommendations.

The place is wonderful, and they clearly use fresh ingredients, which is great. However, the food doesn't quite capture the authentic Thai flavors. Perhaps with a deeper understanding of traditional techniques and recipes, the fresh ingredients could shine even brighter.

Been going here for a year now and really happy with it. Great view of the water and the staff are always good. Never sure what to order but I normally go the lamb curry, and pad Thai. Today I am being adventurous and got the duck spring rolls. Was a little disappointed today as I arrived at 530 on the dot and asked for 12 happy hour oysters from the manager as I walked in if it was okay since it was 530. Unfortunately I was too slow so no happy hour oysters. 😂 I thought that was a little cheeky but I guess technically I should have been there at 529pm. Next time I better be quicker..
