- 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.

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!

Oh. My. God. Beautiful, authentic Thai food and absolutely lovely staff. Well priced with some good Vegan options on the menu. I selected the Vegan Thai Red Curry, which is usually served with plant based chicken. Being vegan, the waitress offered to swap for tofu aaand it was divine! BangPop was recommended on a Melbourne Vegan page and thank god for that. Heavenly!

If you are from interstate, overseas or local, you must eat at BangPop if you love Thai food. If there are people waiting, don’t worry, you will be seated quickly. The food is authentic, fresh and delicious, combined with efficient and friendly service. Si many tables inside and out with the prime tables riverside - sitting at the bar is very cool. A great vibe with the music creating a fun vibe. BTW great margaritas.

This place is great, no wait time and didn't need to make a reservation. The chicken skewers were nice 8/10, I prefer them a little more crisp. The pork belly bao bun 7/10, sauce was amazing but the pork was just a lacking a little 🤏 but still yum. The green chicken curry was absolutely amazing, one of the best I've had, 10/10 🤤👌 and was a very responsible price. The roti was also amazing. 🤌 The only negatives is it a little expensive, however for a once off for me still worth it for the size and quality of the main.
