After our favourite Thai restaurant closed in Melbourne, we've been 'testing' other places by ordering our favourite dishes. @ Thai ticked all the boxes - the food was delicious (and large in size), the service friendly and efficient (even with sign on the door indicating they were unexpectedly low in staff numbers), the atmosphere and furnishings pleasant (even though restaurant was very busy and full), and good value for what we had.
I had my favourite dish - pork belly basil and chili with a fried egg on top with rice (changed to brown rice), which was tasty, included crisp vegetables, and had just the right amount of heat from the chili.
My partner had crispy chicken pad thai which was a perfect combination (in his words).
We started by sharing satay chicken skewers (4), which were moist, the right size and with a sauce that was not overbearing.
We accompanied the meal with jadmine tea (me) and NZ wine (him), from an extensive drinks menu. The main food menu also had many interesting choices.
Restaurant is up two flights of stairs, and from our table by the window, we could watch the people on the street below, as well as the gondola going up and down the hillside.
Overall, a very satisfying meal.
