About FatBoy Thai Kitchen

Hawthorn locals treat FatBoy Thai Kitchen as their reliable go-to for generous, quick-fire wok classics on Glenferrie Road. Orders fly out minutes after you scan and pay at the table—heaping plates of char-kissed pad see ew, flaky curry puffs, and crispy pork belly tossed with Chinese broccoli. The kitchen takes a smart liberties with tradition too, tossing sharp capers into their spicy Pad Kee Mao to cut through the fiery heat and sweet basil.

  • Fast, Generous Comforts: Heaping servings of tender massaman beef, pad see ew, and curry puffs arrive within minutes of sitting down.
  • Briny Twist on Pad Kee Mao: The kitchen tosses capers into their fiery stir-fried noodles, adding a sharp, briny kick to the traditional heat.
  • Frictionless Table-Side Ordering: Scan, order, and pay directly from your phone at the table for an immediate, zero-fuss dining turnaround.
