R.Harn

Absolutely incredible. My first time eating southern thai dishes and won't be my last. Every dish we ordered was simply sublime. The deep fried morning glory was delectable, a symphony of flavours and delightful textures. The caramelised pork belly was also a standout. Sweet, salty and with a surprising peppery twist. Finally we ordered the stir fried stinky beans with prawns and pork. If you like stinky tofu or fermented foods, you'll enjoy this dish. The service was also delightful. Absolutely recommended and l look forward to coming back!

One of the best restaurants I’ve tried so far in Melbourne! The restaurant focuses on the southern Thai cuisine which differs significantly from the northern part of the country. Absolute shout out to Kevin for his positive energy and taking his time to explain us not only the menu but also the history and source of the ingredients. We will be back!

This place deserves a lot more attention and customers! Absolutely delicious Southern Thai dishes - different from the standard, familiar menu items that you would get at other Thai restaurants. Wonderful friendly service. The beverage options are a little limited but you can BYO wine which is a bonus. Go before it's too late - it would be a shame if R.Harn disappears as one of the city's many dining spots.

I had to laugh at those uneducated ignorants complaining that it’s not like Soi 38!! Umm this is Southern Thai cuisine which is completely different to Soi 38 which is Northeastern Thai (Esaan). I’m from the South of Thailand and am thrilled to finally have restaurants specialised in Southern cuisine!! Quality ingredients, flavour and fragrance that is as good as home and very well priced for the quality. Not quite a cheap eat, more on the casual dining. What not to love!!?

Let's address the elephant in the room. This is not Soi38. If you are looking for Soi38, this is not the thai restaurant you're looking for. If you're still with me, then listen up. This spot being slept on. Hard. Very rarely do I go to a restaurant every week for a month straight, but here we are 💁🏻‍♂️ Not every dish is a banger, but there are some absolute gems on the menu if you know where to look. Top picks: 1) Crispy Morning Glory Definitely the best example of this dish in the CBD. The sauce is lively, rich, zesty, and utterly mouth watering. Thing thai style buffalo sauce with shrimp and fried shallots 2) Stir-Fried Minced Pork Curry Rice Killer. No filler. Deeply complex and moreish with a great balance of spice. Bring some friends and go on a culinary adventure. Try some dishes you've never heard of. Give them a reason to lean into boldness and spice, instead of being a bit timid as to not alienate the basic whiteys.

First day opening today. I come here because been following from Soi38. It’s not many Southern Thai food in the city. I really enjoy the real taste of the curry paste here, spicy and yum. Also beautiful decoration and service. Highly recommend. Will be back soonnnn!!

Crab curry was sooooooo delicious the staff was the friendliest. Also really special non alcoholic drink options. Perfect for a cold day.

R.harn is a hidden gem in Melbourne! The homemade shrimp cake was crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. The green curry with beef was rich, aromatic, and paired perfectly with roti. Every dish was well-balanced and delicious. A must-visit for Thai food lovers!
