Yang Thai

This southern Thai-inspired charcoal chicken shop is nestled in the cute cluster of food spots in a pedestrianised pocket between Acland Street and St Kilda Botanic Gardens. It’s by Jimmy Pham (Waxflower) and Narit Kinsey (ex-Earth Angels). “Yang means ‘grill’ in Thai,” says Pham. “We’re offering mostly charcoal-grilled chicken, local seafood and vegetarian options, with classic and obscure southern Thai side dishes.”
