Khun Thai

We started off with chicken curry puffs, which had a crisp puff pastry and a rich meaty filling. It was paired with a light sweet chilli sauce. This was followed up with a serve of quail. The dish was well cooked, but the quail was overwhelmed by too much garlic and soy sauce. For mains course, we had a wide variety of dishes to share. A thai mainstay, the Pud Kee Mau had flat rice noodles, fresh prawn & squid, and crunchy vegetables in a sweet soy sauce. Delicious! The roast duck red curry, was fragrant and a little spicy, with fresh tomato and pineapple adding different flavours in each bite. We got some roti on the side, which was so soft. The service was friendly, but as there was only one waiter it took a bit of time for them to get to you. But the food came quickly once ordered. Khun Thai is one of the best Thau restaurants in Elsternwick, and definitely worth visiting.

Decided to go to Kuhn Thai as they make a very bold statement on their window - "Best Tom Yum in Melbourne". I've seen that it's usually busy, but, when we got there, there was one table available, so we got seated straight away and got given water and menus. We ordered a Chicken Tom Yum, a Chicken Pud Thai, and a Steamed Barramundi in Coconut Milk Red Curry + Rice. Where do I start... The Tom Yum was absolutely fantastic - packed with flavour, filled with lots of chicken. They just had it right - that soup was amazing. My steamed Barramundi was out of this world - I haven't had such a tasty seafood dish in a long time! And it was a huge serving - I couldn't finish it. That coconut red curry was simply divine and it complemented the perfectly-cooked fish really well. I will still try their other ways of cooking the fish (there are around 5-6 options available). Most impressively... this dish is $22 (rice excluded), which is an incredible value for money. The Pud Thai came a bit later, as per our request. Once again - the consistency of the noodles was great - slightly al dente (often, Pud Thai can be over-cooked), and it was packing so much flavour. It was even presented very nicely. Overall, after trying out a few Thai joints on Glen Huntly, this is, by far, the very best one of them all and I couldn't recommend it higher. The reason I didn't give it full 4 stars is simply because the interior leaves a lot to be desired, but you simply forget that once you try their food. I can't wait to get back for more.

WE started purchasing our takeouts from this restarant and liked the food but dont expect to get the quanity as you will see from the photo. Half full and they dont care.After phoning them they would not accept resonsobilty for quanity.Well to be honest im feeling a bit ripped off! They say they will listern to you but its just no true. Four tiny pieces of meat, not a good look.Lots of cheap vegs.

Unfortunately it certainly didn't live up to the star reviews on google. The Massaman curry had no flavour, the chicken skewers tasted either old (one bite and didn't even eat the rest) or tasted like fake chicken. The chicken fried rice was nice, but certainly not anywhere near the best I have had. We used to go here a lot, so not sure if there is a change of ownership, we unfortunately won't be back. Sorry guys for the bad review, but time to life the game!
