About Yim Yam Thai Laos Ascot Vale

Ascot Vale regulars rely on this low-key dining room for vibrant Lao specialties and Thai staples that hit way harder than the standard suburban takeaway. Bring a favorite bottle from home—the corkage fee is minimal—and crowd the table with duck crepes, chicken satay skewers, and lightly battered rockling swimming in aromatic green curry. Longtime patrons often steer newcomers toward the crisp toasted rice and coconut salad, or fragrant bowls of Gang Khi Lek curry alongside sticky coconut rice.

  • Dual Lao & Thai Menu: A rare local lineup featuring regional Laotian recipes alongside familiar Thai curries and stir-fries.
  • BYO-Friendly Dining: Dine-in guests can bring their own bottles for an easy night out with modest corkage fees.
