Story

Soi 38 is synonymous with street food in Bangkok as it is one of the most famous and most popular locations where some of the best street food can be found. Soi means side-street in Thai and rather than naming all the side streets off a major road they are simply numbered, hence Soi 38. At night Soi 38 literally transforms into an open air food court crowded with stalls, tables and customers while at the same time the street is still open to cars who use it as a kind of drive through as they order take away through their car windows.

Reviews
The restaurant is located in an alley, so you have to look carefully for the sign because the entrance is inside a building.nnThe atmosphere is like being in a basement hall. The music is loud, but the customers are even louder. Orders are placed on a paper checklist and via a QR code on your phone.nnWhen I went on a weekday around 6 PM, there was no queue and there were still tables available.nnThe restaurant is spacious with many tables, and the atmosphere is authentically Thai, not overly fancy. The food was served quickly after ordering.nn- Grilled pork skewers were delicious and served hot.n- The spicy beef salad namtok had good flavor.n- The grilled pork neck with fermented fish sauce and instant noodles had a rich dressing and was very tasty.n- The papaya salad was rather average.nnOverall, the food tasted delicious and authentically Thai, but the prices were a bit high. For two people, you need to order 3-4 dishes. It's a good place for drinks and socializing.
would recomend using the QR code to order. Adds much needed photos to the menu.nnNice restaurant, dishes were lovely, very very spicy but full of taste. You won't find you're normal pad thai here but will definitely enjoy whatever you order.nnserving sizes were pretty small, prices were cheaper so does mean you can order more variety. but expect to need ~3 dishes per two people.nnGot charged a 10% weekend surcharge, there was no notice of this at all, only on the receipt after i paid. If they had of displayed this on entry, at the till, or clearly on the menu that would have been appreciated.nnWaiters were all super grumpy and did not come over to explain how the menu works. When i went to order, staff snatched the order sheet without a word and then gestured for me to sit down.nnThere was also a very loud humming from the ducting over head which was a little distracting. But the constant Taylor swift music masked it a little.nnall my complaints are easily corrected, would happily come back as the dishes were great
My favourite Thai food in Melbourne. We strongly recommend getting a cup of Thai milk tea to accompany the dishes. Flavours are perfect. Papaya salad was good, scallop ceviche is a favourite, their boat noodles were really good too. Their soft bone is a hidden treasure. Strongly recommend.
one of my favourite thai restaurants in the city. me and my friends always get the ultimate bowl, crying tiger, and deep fried pork belly, never ever disappoints. i also tried the tum plara kung sod papaya salad with fermented fish sauce and raw prawns which i genuinely really enjoyed. restaurant service is super quick too and the atmosphere makes me feel like im back home in southeast asia. 10/10 recommend!! i recommend try to come in early so you won't have to queue too long!
It was quiet when we first entered but gradually the tables filled up towards the end of our dinner. Food is nice, especially love the pork skewers, however the pork bone broth is very salty. We had to request for some hot water to dilute the saltiness.nnThe vibe is casual and perfect for groups, however if you want somewhere classy and quiet, I would not recommend this place.
