Why you'll love BangPop

  • Bangpop offers a huge variety of succulent Thai dishes, all made with seasonal ingredients sourced locally or straight from Thailand.
  • Features multiple spaces perfect for small to large social events.
  • 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.

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.

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! 💚💚💚

The place was buzzing. Went there for my sister's birthday with kids and grandparents. Had a very nice dinner. All the drinks and dishes were so good. Flavourful and could eat more as the food was tasty. Staff were very attentive as well. Can be bit too noisy and crowded in weekends. But would definitely recommend and go again for the tasty food!

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.

No complaints at all! They asked at the start if anyone had any allergies, I am coeliac so that made me feel very safe. My gluten free food came out labelled which was amazing aswell. Food was delicious and quick!
