[2024 Melbourne Restaurant] Travel Guide for Soi 38 Melbourne (Updated Dec)

authentic thai

This place is quite popular already due to it being part of the car park so it is almost guaranteed that there will be a super long queue outside. Papaya salad used to be a whole plate, same as the pork rib soup. Still good flavours and all, but portions just got noticeably smaller. We were lucky to get there when there was no queue and everything we ordered was a hit. The ultimate bowl, crying tiger, and grilled pork jowl are very good. Thai milk tea is a little sweet but good to pair with the soup since it’s so spicy. My friend found the soup so spicy she turned red but she found it so tasty she didn’t stop eating. Really recommend this place if you’re in Melbourne. The flavors were excellent, but even the upsized portion felt quite small. I would recommend ordering two standard-sized servings instead of upsizing since it's only 10 bucks for a standard size. The Thai milk tea wasn't too sweet, which was a plus for me. I know authentic Thai milk tea is usually super sweet, but I don't have a sweet tooth when it comes to drinks. #australiatrip #deliciousfood
