Son In Law

This Thai eatery excels at instagram-friendly, cute food. We were enamoured with our adorable bao buns and enjoyed gawking at the fairy floss drinks coming out of the bar. However, mainstays such as the pad Thai and spring rolls were disappointing. The Pad Thai noodles tasted fine, but were a small-ish serve and were puzzlingly lacking in the visual aesthetic department (all brown and no green). Not a big deal, but given the attention given to aesthetics in the “cute” menu items, seemed a weird oversight. The prawn spring rolls were very overpriced for what they were - shockingly so. The roti and barramundi were tasty, but once again small serves and pricey. Overall, the food was pricey, tasty enough without being special, and the service pragmatic and unfussy. Worth coming once for the cute food, but not intriguing enough for a repeat visit.

We booked a table at 7pm and we started eating after 9 pm. Are you serious?!?!? It was ridiculous! The tables next to us arrived 1 and a half hours later and they ate before us. The food was good but nothing special. Also our table was outside and the smell was disgusting! We had a really bad experience! I don’t want to go back again and I don’t suggest it... there are other good restaurants in Melbourne.

A fun experience, very unique. Comfortable setting and atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. My friends and I had a really good time there, the only negative is food took a little longer than expected to be served. It is a restaurant I would go for desserts but less so for food as even though food there is yummy, it's not cheap. Nevertheless we had a good time. Would recommend it for the experience, especially those with children.

A menu with many classic dishes and handmade bao that Son in Law is famous for. Cosy space with friendly staff. Food was well executed and favours we're balanced. Pad Thai was fragrant and noodles had some bite but I would have preferred more tartness and a touch more sauce. Chicken ribs had a thick coat of batter and had a nicely balanced spice mix. The curry puffs were nice but I would have been happy not ordering them, they didn't seem to have much flavour on their own and the sweet chili sauce just takes over. Overall it was a good experience and would go back to try the curries.

Super fun and delicious dishes, Great price as well, we enjoyed our night very much and had food coma. Baos are very cute and creative. Dishes are very well presented very good size as well. massaman curry is delicious well balanced and the son in law eggs are to die for. The crispy pork was a bit too dry for our liking. overall we had great time and I will definitely coming back again. Thank you team.
