Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page covers seven restaurants in Brighton, grouped by the cuisine label on its listing: Thai, Vietnamese and a general Asian label. We keep the cuisines apart in the write-ups, because a Thai menu and a Vietnamese menu read very differently.
Each place was confirmed at two independent sources: its own site, the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) and, for one, OpenStreetMap. We name a regional style only where a menu does, and we say so plainly when we have no menu text to decode.
Two menu prices could be copied, both from Buffalo Boy. For the rest, hours and AGFG tags are what we have, and the tags are the listing’s, not ours.

Bok Choy Brighton — 300 New Street, Brighton VIC 3186
Bok Choy Brighton’s site lists dinner from 5:30pm, with the kitchen closing at 8:45pm Sunday to Thursday, and a lunch session from 12:00pm on Friday to Sunday. AGFG lists BYO, Child Friendly and Takeaway. BYO means you bring your own alcohol, so ask the restaurant about any corkage. We have no menu text, so we name no dishes.
How to order: Check the kitchen close time on the site, because it is listed earlier than the closing time.
Bobbi Pearl — 131 Church Street, Brighton VIC 3186
Bobbi Pearl’s site lists its hours as 5PM to late, Monday to Sunday. AGFG lists Vegan Options, Child Friendly and Takeaway. The restaurant is labelled Asian rather than by a single country, and we have no menu text to decode, so we do not guess a regional style.
Region: None is stated on the pages we read, so we name none.
Bantatthong Restaurant — 423 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
Bantatthong Restaurant’s site lists Monday to Thursday from 4.30pm to 9.30pm, Friday from 4.30pm to 10.00pm, and on Saturday and Sunday a lunch session from 11:30am to 2:30pm plus evening hours from 4:30pm. AGFG lists Child Friendly, Vegan Options and Takeaway. We cannot say how hot any dish is, so ask when you order.
How to order: Ask what the kitchen suggests for a first order, since the pages we read name no dishes.
Siriphen Thai Restaurant — 325 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
The AGFG listing for Siriphen Thai Restaurant shows Monday to Thursday from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Friday to Sunday from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM. AGFG is an owner-maintained directory, so those hours may be out of date. AGFG also lists BYO, Child Friendly, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining.
Menu says: The pages we read give no dish names, so there is nothing to decode here yet.
Buffalo Boy — 279 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186
Buffalo Boy’s menu prints Belgium chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream at $14.50. It also prints Sweet potato fries, chilli mayo (v) at $12.50, and the (v) is the menu’s own marker. AGFG’s map listing says to enter through the rear, and it lists Child Friendly, Vegan Options, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining.
On the menu (copied from buffaloboy.com.au/new-menu-2027-B.B-.pdf on 9 October 2026):
- Belgium chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream: $14.50
- Sweet potato fries, chilli mayo (v): $12.50
Menu says: The text we copied covers a cake and a side of fries, with no Vietnamese dish to decode.
BAMMI — 21 Carpenter St, Brighton VIC 3186
BAMMI’s own site lists opening from 9:30am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday. AGFG lists Vegan Options and Takeaway. It is labelled Vietnamese, but we have no menu text, so we do not name a regional style or a dish.
Decoder: Banh mi is a filled baguette; we have no BAMMI menu text, so we cannot say whether it is sold.
Le Feu Brighton Cuisine GF — 296 Bay St, Brighton VIC 3186
Le Feu Brighton Cuisine GF is labelled Vietnamese, and both its own site and the AGFG listing give the Bay Street address. The name carries GF; this page quotes no gluten-free statement, so ask the restaurant what it covers. We have no menu text or hours to report.
Order this first: Ask which dishes the GF in the name refers to before you choose.
