Thai Forest Cafe and Restaurant 314C Blackshaws Road, Altona North, Victoria 3025

"Dont believe the other people's reviews. This place is over priced, very small portion, and average at best. We ordered the Tom yum soup and massaman curry, the soup was extremely flavourless honestly tasted like it was made with instant Tom yum powder (literally) and for the price of $23 we expected it to be given more but they served it basically less than half of a bowls portion, wow. The curry was better in terms of taste, beef was okay but bit cold in the middle and again the portion size super small, we only received 4 pieces of beef?? Cmon. There was more pineapple in this dish than there was beef, used to prop up the dish to make it seem like there's more, the plate is very shallow so it looks like a lot in the photo but literally 10 spoons of curry and all gone, maybe rename the dish to vegetarian curry instead? Another thing about this restaurant is that there is a really prominent 'oil' smell throughout the restaurant emitting from the kitchen, really gross, we had to sit the furtherest from the kitchen at the booth near the entrance and we still smelled it, they need to turn on the exhaust fans or something because that is not good for customers health, definitely a hazard On the bright side, the customer service was good, attentive and accommodating, however, all-in-all, don't waste your money or time going here we paid $57 for two small bowls of averageness plus two servings of plain steamed rice... honestly way better thai restaurants out there worth your money."

"If you're searching for an authentic taste of Thailand right here in Altona North, look no further than Thai forest cafe. I ordered the heavenly Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and the tofu was mouthwatering served with a tangy peanut sauce. The noodles was simply sensational accompanied by succulent seafood flavors. Making me feel as if I were dining right on the streets of Bangkok."

"DELICIOUS!! First time trying out this new local Thai and we were not disappointed! Open, bright and spacious with lovely service-with-a-smile from everyone. We ordered fish cakes, crispy barramundi with spicy herb salad and panang beef curry with coconut rice - each dish was delicious and well balanced. We can’t wait to come back and work our way through their menu! Thank you Thai Forest for a wonderful and delicious dinner!"

"Fantastic modern Thai food. Excellent service by Pam, my partner and I look forward to returning to try more dishes."
