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.

A nice spot to have a late night meal. The place is still buzzing even late at night as it seems to be a popular place for corporates. The food was a bit salty but very enjoyable and without any disappointments. Big bold flavours and nice levels of spice. Drinks were nice with an extensive menu.

I’ve been here twice, first time went for the food which was amazing and delicious. Second time went for bottomless brunch, the food was incredible the cocktails were fantastic and consistent, and the staff and service was beyond, we were extremely happy and left feeling upbeat and so satisfied from start to end. This place is a must!! If you want great food and good value for drinks (that all taste great) I’d go here. I will be back again for sure!!

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! 🛺 🛺🙏

If you’re heading to a show nearby, they go out of their way to ensure you’re well looked after and served in a timely manner, so you won’t have to worry about missing a moment. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Thai cuisine with top-notch service!

So perfectly positioned for a quick walk to events at MCEC. I was a little early for our booking , but given the weather heat, and no preceding booking for the table, I was permitted to sit and wait for my friends...enabling me to refresh with a few deeelicious cocktails or cocktails. Servers were all very considerate and welcoming. Food was so quickly served and delicious. I imagine the open-style architecture of the restaurant would be energetic and filled with happy chatter when booked out..maybe not a place for quiet conversation. Salad leaves appeared a little prepared some time before the serving, my only 🤔
