Your Thai Rice and Noodle Bar

255 Swanston Street, Melbourne
Phone 03 9663 8010

20070215YourThaiBeefSalad
Another cheap as chips (or should that be curry?) lunch option in the Melbourne CBD.

Your Thai is a fairly recent addition to Swanston Street. It is colourful, snappy and offers a good variety of stuff on rice, stuff on noodles and just plain stuff. It sways away from standard Thai fare on occassion, and you’ll find a smattering of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Italian (uh huh, we’re talking pasta) style dishes also.

I so wanted to have the green curry after suffering olfactory order envy from the next table, but I had already ordered the Thai Beef Salad ($7.00), which actually turned out to be quite good. Crunchy and fresh, it was nicely doused in fish sauce, chilli, lime and coriander. The beef was tender, the range of vegetables impressive, and it was garnished with crushed peanuts and crispy fried shallots.

Those suffering Springvale road chicken/pork/meat/salad rolls cravings, well, looks like you can get a Your Thai version for an impressive $3.50. I will definitely try this on my next visit (well, the visit after I go the green curry).

One more thing. The mango smoothie absolutely rocks.

    You’ve got me running all over Swanston Street.

    I’m still drooling over that damn mango smoothie. DAMN it was good. Lots of things still on the menu that I need to try.

    G’day kitchen hand – so true. And yet there are so many more places to try :-)

    Heya Anna – you have no idea how much I have been dreaming over that mango smoothie :-) And I so want that green curry. Next week?!?

    Terrible meals… wrong vegetarian meal sent out, when replaced had small pieces of meat within! My meal had a delightful piece of plastic that I couldn’t managed to swallow. And to top it off they made us pay for the meal we didn’t order or else the police would be called… enter at own risk!!!

    Daniel – I’m surprised you say that. I’ve never had anything but great food (for the price) at Yourthai, including the very difficult to find northern thai dishes they have on the menu. I’m not sure a cheap Thai caf is where I’d go as a vegetarian, given the abundance of shrimp and fish sauce in pretty much everything, but I am very surprised you had problems there. Service can definately be a bit brusque, but I thank that’s to be expected for the price and and the incredibly quick turn around.

    Our waiter was sooo rude! He charged us corkage for 3 people, when only 2 of us were drinking,and that was the least of it. He was as unaccomodating as he could possibly be – an Indian dude with a nasty smirk. Watch out he doesn’t spit in your food – real attitude problem!

    We had a terrible waiter too… so rude and no customer service skills at all. The menu shows one picture and the food that comes out is different! False advertising! I used to love their shrimp paste fried rice but now it tastes terrible… if i could post pictures here, i’d show you what my meal came out like and what the menu had photographed!
