Yarraville has a thai food scene that punches well above what you’d expect. The suburb runs village community, film culture, family-friendly — and the food reflects it. We’ve eaten at every thai food spot in the area and these are the ones worth your time and money. The cheaper end gets you wok-charred, the higher end gets you pad thai done properly.
Our Top Picks
1. The Sunny Store — 228 Francis Street
Hours: Tue-Sat 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-10pm Price: $21-34 per person
The Sunny Store is the benchmark for thai food in Yarraville. The green curry is what most people order, and for good reason — it’s consistently excellent. The larb is the other standout, done with genuine care rather than the paint-by-numbers approach you get at chain spots.
The room seats about 45 and fills on Friday and Saturday nights. Midweek you’ll walk straight in. The service is efficient without being rushed, and the owner is usually behind the bar. Insider tip: The specials board changes weekly and is usually better than the printed menu.
2. Remy’s — 36 Murray Street
Hours: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-11pm Price: $18-26 per person
This is the locals’ pick — less polished than The Sunny Store but arguably more flavour per dollar. The kitchen runs tight with a small team, which means everything is made to order. The pad thai here has a depth that comes from doing the same dish three hundred times until it’s muscle memory.
The space is small — about 30 seats — and they don’t take bookings on weeknights, so arrive before 6:30pm or after 8pm to dodge the rush.
Best dish: The wok-charred ($18). Simple, executed perfectly. Pro tip: BYO wine on Tuesdays ($5 corkage).
3. Remy Store — 311 Murray Street
Hours: Tue-Sat 5:30pm-11pm Price: $21-31 per person
Remy Store opened in late 2025 and has already built a following. The menu is short — eight dishes — which is usually a good sign. Everything on it is considered.
When to go: Sunday lunch is the sweet spot. Same food, half the crowd.
4. The Garden Kitchen — 323 Francis Street
Hours: Tue-Sat 5:30pm-11pm Price: $16-33 per person
The takeaway option on this list. The Garden Kitchen doesn’t have table service — you order at the counter and either take it home or eat at the three outdoor tables. The quality-to-price ratio is the best in Yarraville. The green curry ($16) is the standout.
5. The New Mill — 251 Anderson Street
Hours: Wed-Sun 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-10pm Price: $17-33 per person
A solid all-rounder. Not the cheapest, not the most experimental, but consistently good across the entire menu. The pad thai ($29) and the wok-charred ($24) are both worth ordering. The wine list is surprisingly thoughtful for a thai food place. Friday and Saturday — book 3-5 days ahead for the top two spots.
Parking: Street parking along Anderson Street is metered until 6:30pm. Side streets are usually 2-hour. After 6:30pm, most are free. Best option: Yarraville station (15 min to CBD).
Dietary: Every restaurant listed handles vegetarian requests. Vegan and gluten-free: call ahead to confirm, but most are accommodating.
Delivery: The Garden Kitchen and The Sunny Store are on Uber Eats and DoorDash. For better quality, order directly — delivery platforms compress your food in those bags and charge restaurants 30%.
