Behind The Name

Why BangPop?

The name brings together our riverside home & the colour, flavour & personality you’ll find inside.

01

Bang

A Thai word used for a village or community beside a waterway. W/ our home sitting beside the Yarra River, it fits rather well.

02

Pop

The colour, energy & punchy flavours that make BangPop feel alive — from the food & cocktails to the people around the table.

Put Them Together

BangPop is a lively Thai restaurant beside the river — colourful, social & always ready to feed the table.

The BangPop Attitude

No Worries

We take the food seriously. Ourselves? Not quite as much.

BangPop is relaxed, colourful & open to everyone. Drop in for a quick lunch, settle in for a group dinner or stop by for a drink on the terrace. Good food, good company & no unnecessary formality.
