Book NowAbout Thai Social
Thai Social delivers bold wok-fired curries and vibrant share plates right outside Chadstone's retail bustle.

Most popular items
Beloved noodle, rice, and wok-charred specialties delivered fresh for your shopping break.
Pad Thai
For mains, the Pad Thai was the comfort-food winner. Great balance of sweet, tangy and savoury, with a generous serve and that classic wok-charred finish that makes it feel properly cooked, not just “thrown together”.
Brendon De Kauwe Crispy Pork Belly
the crispy pork with green beans and omelette was rich and full of texture
Sara celis Pad See Ew
The Pad See Ew was perfectly balanced and comforting
Sara celis Khao Soi
The Khao Soi was probably my favourite with the fried chicken on top. The side dishes along with the fried noodles, changed both the flavour and texture of the dish which helped alot.
