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 answers a simple question: where can you find Thai food near Malvern East? The honest answer is one place. We could confirm only one restaurant tagged Thai and Vietnamese, and it is in Glen Iris, so the page is short on purpose rather than padded.

So Pho So Good was checked against OpenStreetMap, its own website and the Australian Good Food Guide. Prices come from the menu PDF on its site, copied as printed.

So Pho So Good — 25 High Street, Glen Iris VIC 3146

So Pho So Good is the only place on this page, and it sits in Glen Iris rather than Malvern East. OpenStreetMap tags its cuisine as Thai and Vietnamese. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup, but the four menu prices we copied are for a baguette, a wonton noodle soup, fried rice and a braised beef dish, so we cannot say how many Thai dishes it lists. The menu prints PORK WONTON NOODLE SOUP at $23.80, and it prints FRIED RICE GF Vegetarian option available at $19.80.

On the menu (copied from sophosogood.com.au/SPSG-Menu-July-2026.pdf on 9 October 2026):

  • B�NH M� baguette: $12.80
  • PORK WONTON NOODLE SOUP: $23.80
  • FRIED RICE GF Vegetarian option available: $19.80
  • B� KHO GF (with rice): $26.80

Menu says: the July menu marks several dishes GF, which is the menu’s own shorthand, so read each line for its tag before you order.

Quick answers

Is there Thai food in Malvern East?

We could confirm one place near Malvern East that OpenStreetMap tags as Thai and Vietnamese: So Pho So Good, on High Street in Glen Iris. We did not verify any Thai restaurant with a Malvern East address, and the menu prices we copied lean Vietnamese, so check its menu for Thai dishes before you go.

What are the opening hours at So Pho So Good?

Its own site lists OPENING HOURS as Wednesday to Sunday 11am to 8:45pm, with Monday and Tuesday closed. The site carries no date that we could see, so confirm with the restaurant before you travel.

Does So Pho So Good have vegan or vegetarian options?

AGFG lists Vegan Options for So Pho So Good. The menu also prints FRIED RICE GF Vegetarian option available at $19.80. AGFG’s tags are the listing’s, not ours, so ask about specific dishes if you have a strict diet.

Is So Pho So Good BYO and good for families?

AGFG lists BYO, Child Friendly, Takeaway and Alfresco Dining for So Pho So Good. Its own site describes a family (and dog) friendly courtyard at the rear. Ask the restaurant about its BYO terms before bringing a bottle.
