I have visited this place twice and loved the food, it’s real thai and probably one of the best you can get in Melbourne. Portions are big as well and good for sharing with family.
Its not just the food but the ambience is good as well looking over yarra river.
High recommended for thai food lovers.
Bang-Pop, a traditional Thai restaurant with a focus on spicy, tangy and time-honoured food. Located in the lively, bustling South Wharf district, BangPop is definitely one of the restaurants you should go to for your next Thai hit.
We walked in and we were immediately impressed by the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant. The whole place was buzzing with happy patrons and staff. We absolutely loved the decor even including the Lego bar wall!
Looking at the menu, it was extremely hard to choose from the wide range of options but thats a problem I dont mind! We loved how each dish was described with an indicator of how spicy the dish was, whether it was Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian and even with a Celiac Option.
For dinner, we had the Thai-Style Fried Chicken which came with nim jim jeaw sauce. We also had 2 salads called the Crying Tiger Grilled Beef which was served with cucumber, shallots, cherry tomatoes, lemongrass, chilli and herbs. The other salad was the twice cooked Beef Short Ribs which came with bean shoots, cucumber and cashew nut salad.
The Bar menu is huge and varied and we chose the Vodka and Soda as well as their signature Passionfruit Mojito. We were extremely impressed with the food. The Crying Tiger Grilled Beef Salad was delicious, refreshing and spicy. We also loved the beef short ribs the meat was very tender, fell off the bone and went well with the cashew nut salad.
We were very pleased with our dining experience tonight and we would highly recommend this place for a night out or two! Theres certainly enough on the menu to choose from to accommodate many visits. Im not sure about Bang Pop but this place is certainly bang-on!

Review:
I have my own reservations before going to a Thai place. There’s something about it that seems a little ordinary, a little plain but not Bangpop.
Their food is flavourful and delicious. Came here for a work lunch, and although I was lucky enough to have a Pad Thai to myself, I regretted not being able to try more of the other dishes.
The flash fried squid as an entree – as recommended by other reviewers – was absolutely amazing and memorable. Crispy, a little sweet and just a delight in your mouth.
Would also highly recommend the Thai dessert platter to finish so you can try a little bit of everything with mates if you got stuck on picking a particular dessert like I did!
Would also highly suggest going with lots of mates so you can try as much food as possible!
Bangpop’s service is so lovely with their genuine smiles and their colourful, comfortable, cushioned chairs remind me of my ‘study’ chair back in the day which makes me laugh.
I would definitely bring my mates here so I can try more of their dishes!
Was here on weekend lunch but was a bit reluctant to go in initially because the place was pretty full and i needed a quick service and food due to appointment but decided to try anyway because I love the atmosphere and the lively afternoon to be seated outdoor (Yarra river view).
I was pleasantly surprise with their efficient and friendly customer service and how quick the food arrive to the table and it was so yummylicious. I will definitely back for more.
The place is spacious, good for prams and they have kids menu too.
I am a bit disappointed with Bangpop these days. I have been there so many times over the years but the portion has suddenly become smaller. 🙁 their kiddies meal used to be almost as big as the adult size meal but now its wayyyy smaller 🙁
We had the moreton bay bug dish and it was ok but more like chinese Asian flavours more than Thai. Their papaya salad was delish though
The guy who was working there was super good with kids, he gave them a ton of duplo to play with to keep them happy

Delicious dinner at this lovely thai delight. Busy and buzzing on a Saturday night but the service was very good and efficient from the start. Restaurant can be very loud. Food was fresh and flavoursome and the crying tiger beef salad had the most tender beef I’ve had. Pad see ewe chicken had an authentic taste too. We will be back to try other dishes on the menu.
A bit disappointing. Went here with my partner for a Friday dinner. Service was a let down, the waiters were running around not paying much care or attention to guests and we also felt very rushed. But it was a Friday evening so the place was naturally busy and we did get an amazing table. Food, though, was also not as tasty as I expected. Thai fried chicken was ok and Thai green chicken curry was just very basic and a bit too sweet – it definitely lacked the kick or a spicy tartness. Anyhow, wouldnt come back probably but the menu did have a lot of nice seafood dishes Id try.
