Yum Thai Takeaways: Classic Thai Comfort Food in Melville, Hamilton

Situated on Ohaupo Road in Melville, Yum Thai Takeaways has become a reliable dinner fixture for locals seeking freshly cooked Thai classics. Focusing entirely on pickup and direct evening delivery, the kitchen offers a broad menu that covers regional Thai staples alongside comforting street-food favourites.

The Flavour of the Wok and Coconut Curries

The foundation of the menu at Yum Thai Takeaways rests on staple noodle and curry recipes. The Pad Thai delivers balanced sweetness, tamarind tang, and savoury wok heat, finished with fresh beansprouts and chopped peanuts. Alongside the noodles, classic curries form the backbone of everyday ordering. The traditional Green Curry simmers fragrant green chilli paste in rich coconut milk with vegetables, while the Massaman and Panang curries offer nuttier, velvety profiles that pair naturally with steamed jasmine or sweet coconut rice.

Wok stir-fries bring versatility to the lineup. Dishes like the Stir Fried Cashew Nut balance crisp vegetables, onions, and baby corn in sweet chilli paste, while the fiery Pad Ka Proaw and Pad Ped pack heat using fresh Thai basil, bamboo shoots, and red curry paste.

House Specials and Duck Dishes

Beyond standard chicken, beef, and pork dishes, Yum Thai features a dedicated duck section and house specialties. Roast duck is incorporated into multiple preparations, including Drunken Duck steamed with wine sauce, stir-fried duck with ginger, and a rich Red Curry Duck stewed with tomatoes and sweet pineapple.

Seafood enthusiasts will find whole fish preparations—ranging from Pla Sam Ros in sweet chilli sauce to Pla Jean topped with minced pork and black mushrooms—as well as house creations like Goong Ob Woonsen, where whole prawns are steamed alongside glass noodles, garlic, pepper, and fresh coriander in a seasoned broth. For snack-style indulgence, the crispy Marinated Pork Belly comes deep-fried with dipping sauce on the side.
