35 South Wharf Promenade, South Wharf VIC 3006, Australia
Restaurant
•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.

If the idea of a terrace area needed improving, then how about the presence of the Yarra river with a city skyline view as a backdrop. What luck then, that our Riverside Terrace boasts exactly that. A river, along with room for up to 80 ma...

We came here for Christmas lunch today. I must say I was super impressed. The place was packed and yet we never felt rushed or in need of anything. Smooth service. Insanely delicious dishes. We tried 14 dishes all up and were continually impressed with each one. Oh and the cocktail jugs are a must to get the conversation and celebrations happening. Great value and matched perfectly with the menu flavours. We easily stayed here for three hours and could have stayed much longer. It seems that the outdoor area has a misting spray to keep outdoor patrons cool on a hot summer day. We enjoyed the eclectic decor and the smiles for miles staff who really seemed to enjoy the experience as much as we did. Thanks again. BangPop. Will be back for sure! 🛺 🛺🙏
I hosted my friends for my bday dinner here and was a great choice! The food and drinks were spot on, location was good too! We loved our time here. The service was quick and portion size was surprisingly good for a group.
Amazing halal food! Always come here for Thai food and have never been disappointed. Love the Chicken Green Curry and Tom Yum from here. The chicken cashew stir fry is another favorite. The location is also excellent and the outside terrace offers lovely views of the city and docklands. Would recommend!
2 adults. Tuesday night, busy, good atmosphere. Pork Bao lovely crispy skin, pork a little tough, nice hoisin sauce with pickle missing coriander, carrot, but still nice. 1 x Pad See Eew, 1 x Pad Thai both good flavours. Good temp. Worth the wait. Delicious cocktails. Priced appropriately. Would visit again to try other dishes.
We had our Christmas dinner at Bangpop, enjoying outdoor seating on a summer afternoon. We didn't mind the heat, as the continuous mist kept us feeling refreshed. Food- Calamari - 3.5 Cab Moo (fried pork) - 4.5 (recommended) Tom Yum - 4.0 Crying tiger - 4.5 Pad see ew - 5 (recommended) Pad gropaw gai - 5 (recommended) Drinks are also spot on. Serving size is enough for a group. We were 7 women and the food was more than enough. Price point - not too expensive. I will definitely be back.
