Tucked away in a small Melbourne laneway, Boonchoou isn’t your typical Thai restaurant. The team come from different parts of Thailand, each carrying childhood memories and family recipes that inspire every dish. Some are flavours they grew up with; others are dishes discovered through journeys across the country.
You’ll find familiar favourites like green curry and pad Thai alongside regional dishes rarely found outside Thailand, such as grilled fish curry with young banana, stir-fried coconut noodles with prawns, or slow-grilled pork belly over charcoal with roasted chilli tamarind sauce.
Every plate is prepared with sincerity and care, offering the warmth of Thai hospitality and a taste that feels nostalgic yet new.
To complete the experience, Boonchoou offers a curated list of cocktails, wines and mocktails, thoughtfully paired to complement the depth and balance of Thai flavours, and a comforting finish with baked Thai custard with local nuts – a sweet taste of home.
