This trendy Thai restaurant with friendly and efficient service, very yummy food, which is not sweet unlike many Thai dishes served outside of Thailand, was a delightful find - the prices are more or less on par with other Thai restaurants of the same caliber - going there again soon

Fantastic experience, the food was amazing, the service and bar staff excellent and the ambience was very cool. Both the menu and wine list are extensive, and informative!. This was our favourite night in Melbourne, How will we be able to eat out on the Sunshine Coast now? We have been spoilt.

Service was great, but dessert was a little let down. The sticky rice was slightly undone at certain part and the mango was sour instead of sweet.

Not as good as other times I’ve visited. The wait times were longer and the food wasn’t nearly as tasty. Overall an average experience which I’m not used to having at Cookie.

Great food and ambience, but very disappointed with the service. We chose cookie as our dining choice in Melbourne for a great night out and left very disappointed with the minimal care factor of the staff. Could have been so much better if the staff let go of their egos 😃

Great food and service would highly recommend. Authentic traditional Thai food with a great regional Thai options to suit every palate. Fantastic drink menu with some very tempting cocktails to seduce you into a false sense of liquid amnesia.

Great service and bold flavours from a interesting menu. Huge wine list that takes hours to read. Got so confused in the end? Pretty noisy from crowd and loud in house tunes played over many speakers.

Very small table. Couldn't fit the dishes on it (and it was supposedly for 6 people but we only took 5!). The food was variable. Soft shell crab was very well done but the Jungle Duck Curry was a mess and the only attraction seemed to be smothering the mess in chili. The wine recommendations were awful and as usual the massive wine list proved to be less massive in practice with the refrain "I'm afraid we don't have any of those left sir". This restaurant is also extremely noisy so don't go there with anyone for a quiet romantic meal or even with friends if you want to hold a conversation.

The food was excellent (as usual) with the curry being the standout. The service from the staff was attentive without being intrusive. The range of drinks is VERY extensive although somewhat expensive. We always eat here when visiting Melbourne.

Always fantastic food. Not just the usual red, green and yellow curry, though you will find these but well interspersed with interesting combinations full of aromatics such as beef spare ribs in a sweet, sticky chilli lychee sauce, unctuous lamb and eggplant curry, whole snapper with Thai salad, mussel cake, stuffed calamari and the best coconut rice garnished with shredded lime leaves. Best to bring a few friends and share a number of dishes. We have been going there for years and never had a bad choice.

Great food - modern Thai . There were 4 of us & we all loved every dish. We ordered several entrees to share & we had mainly curries for mains. Good choice of drinks available. The food was not inexpensive - but worth the price. I would have preferred table service, rather than ordering food from the bar. Cool atmosphere, vibrant & fun & worth a visit!
