I found this little gem without any expectations. It felt like walking into someone's house who is keen to cook for me. The elderly man was most likely the owner who seemed like a humble human being with culinary skill.
He helped us order and we were rapt with the dishes. The lamb ding ding noodles was just filling and flavourful. I surely want to try the other dishes next time and on top of that he was kind enough to let me try the Yoghurt drink for free! I just couldn't thank him enough for the hospitality.

August 2025: What a great find. Was walking along the lane towards Glenferrie train station when I noticed this restaurant. Apparently, it opened only 6 months prior. I am local and was not aware of this new establishment. Very pleased to see this restaurant in this location.
The Penang White Curry Mee is not a dish you find in most Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne. I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of this dish (amongst other great dishes) on their front wall. That's not all, it is priced much less than asian dishes prior to 2020. Congratulations to the owners of this restaurant for making it affordable for students and locals alike who seek out & enjoy genuine Malaysian Chinese cuisine.
Will definitely be back to sample all the other dishes with friends.
The staff members are very friendly and attentive. They will answer any questions you may have with a smile. I really enjoyed dining here. I highly recommend this restaurant 👌

Gave this Pho joint a 3 star review for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the vegetarian summer roll had tofu in it, which was overcooked and had very tough skin, making eating it an unpleasant experience. The peanut sauce with the summer roll was nice.
While beef pho broth was tasty, it could do with a bit more depth of flavour. The mixed beef cuts were good.
Overall I'd give it a 3.5

This is the place to go to friends, weve moved here 2 years ago and have been here at least once a month it sooo good. The owners are super genuine and they are super friendly. The food is flavourful and what you'd expect. East to get to and prices are very 2019!
Definitely give it a shot

Just got take out here and was pleasantly surprised that it was given with a free tote bag and a complementary rice pudding! Best range of vegan and veg options in the area as well and wonderful variety of food! 10/10 recommend!

Our favourite local BBQ. This place is fantastic for a local, reasonably affordable place. Tried a few dishes but their roast duck and roast pork is definitely pretty damn good for a local place. Highly recommend, but beware the wait times, they can stretch out to quite a while at peak times.
