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.

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!

2nd time visiting BangPop & the experience was awesome. Right from easy online ordering to the speed of dishes coming out, and then the presentation, taste - everything was spot on ! The mix of vegan/vegetarian and non-vegetarian options means there’s something for everyone’s palette.

Had a really nice meal at BangPop.. we had the green chicken curry and beef short rib, rice and roti.. the food was absolutely delicious and it was just like being in Thailand.. absolutely authentic taste and look.. the service from the staff was really good and the wait staff truly earn their money.. run off their feet.. in other words excellent customer service.. the only downside of the night we ordered coffee and hot chocolate was just a tinge above lukewarm.. other than that BangPop is a really good place to a have a delicious Thai meal, and if you’re near south Wharf give BangPop a try… I am looking forward to the next time we will have dinner at BangPop.. yum

Staff were friendly and food was delicious but definitely overpriced. Pad thai was yummy but I struggled to find actual chicken in it and it was mostly tofu. Beautiful view of the river and good seating though!
