I love Poppy's Thai and have been to all three (sadly St Kilda and Richmond are gone now) leaving the Burke Rd restaurant. Time and time again I have returned and it has been excellent in every way- lovely service, great food, well-priced and great atmosphere.
Nice casual place plenty of food in servings and filling but ordinary meal The service is good the the environment quite pleasant . Price was what you would expect . just need a a bit more flair with quality of the cooking.
Poppy's Thai operates two venues, one in Bridge Rd, Richmond, the other in Burke Rd Camberwell -- the Richmond restaurant has a casual comfortable, if dark, plastic-plant / beachhut-style atmosphere, with a selection of great Thai food; while their Camberwell restaurant is noisy, packed into a small space, with appallingly poor service on both occasions we tried it, and prices that were substantially higher than Richmond for the same food. the one consolation in Camberwell is more tasteful interior design. Quite disappointing, note there is no wheelchair access at Camberwell.
Killer selection of amazing Thai food that is served in a nice secluded environment. I recommend the pad thai... excellent dish and a great way to end the week.
