Melbourne, VIC
Harry currently ranks 10 thai spots in Melbourne, scoring 80–85 on the Harry Score.
Spice level and authenticity are two different things. Harry does not require incapacitating heat. He requires accuracy: Pad Thai that tastes of ketchup is not Pad Thai. The score turns on the depth of the fish sauce and the freshness of the aromatics.
