Have ordered from here twice and both times they have messed up the order resulting in me getting less than what i paid for.shame because the food they do provide is good - just can’t trust them to provide what you order.super frustrating

The best Malasyan food I've ever tried. Everything was perfect and very tasty. The price is fair and the portions are massive.
Highly recommended

Have one star as I am not returning to this diner.

Reasons
1. MSG
2. Unhygienic environment (sticky table surface, dusts everywhere.)
3. Not fresh ingredients
4. Too oily

We are a group of people ordering 6 dishes including rice and noodle soup for lunch today. However, we short received one coconut rice. Then I called them and one of their staff said we can't do anything for you as we are very busy at the moment. Then they asked me to call Uber eat first. By the time I have finished solving the problem, one of us will already be very starving and especially we are working in the office and lunch time is so limited. I was so much expecting their staff would fix the problem by sending us the rice quickly. But they didn't. I also asked them why they didn't send us the cutlery and chilli oil and the staff said to me I need to put it in the comment when I order through UBER eat. I told them we have already done it. We used to order from them and cutlery has never come with the order and we also mentioned it in the comment. I am doubting what the comment field is for. I am very upset about their customer service.

Very good roti and curry at a reasonable price of AUD 13.90. Perhaps not the biggest portion so might need to eat something else if you're really hungry.

Bang for your buck! I loved the Mee Goreng and the Soya Milk Tea with Grass Jelly and Teh 3-Layer Tea/Teh C Peng Drink and the Fried Seafood Platter! Watch the full video review on my Youtube about Malaysian Food! (Not a fan of the Baba Sauce that comes with the platter but that has to do with personal taste preferences rather than the quality of the sauce which itself was prepared amazingly - First time trying the sauce keep in mind!) This place has an extensive list of Malaysian dishes that I would love to come back to next time I'm in Melbourne! Highly recommend!

I was stunned my chicken skewers were deep fried and not griĺl. It's not authentic anymore.must recently changed to Chinese owners? Waitress dragged tables making screeching disruptive noises when they could lift it up.

Nice food fair pricing. Char kway teow was a little sweet for Penang style. Chicken rice was good less sauce on the rice would be better. Assam Laska was good Someone added fried shallots onto mine when it was serve and it spoilt the taste.

Tried the Ipoh Hor Fun, which is char kuai teow with eggy thick soup. It's pretty good, price is around AUD 12 - 15 per dish. Place is pretty packed, so not that kids friendly.

Service is good. The only let down is that my friend found an egg shell in her fried rice.

Yummy food and generous servings. Staff is very friendly. Their satay sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste but that might be a personal preference.

Surprisingly good laksa and char kuey teow - authentic tasting malaysian fare which is hard to find. Recommended!

One star rating for their Bak Kut Teh. It was disappointing to have the Bak Kut Teh this time with just a few thin slices of pork belly meat and a couple of hard fried bean curd. There was no mushroom, no lettuce, no bean curd puff and no pork ribs. It was like cutting down ingredients to make profit.

The drinks here like the teh tarik are not very nice and I asked for root beer float and I had to change my order because they ran out of ice cream. The service is ok but is definitely not very friendly and command of English isn't very good.

Microwaved chicken rice. Flavour was awful and the rice was so piping hot that it was dry, also the chicken was burnt in the process of heating in the microwave. Probably required skills to even use the microwave.

Great place for lunch break, good food quick service and good sized servings. Specials are great value for price and usually come with a complimentary drink.

Quite a good Har Mee, always my test dish for a Malaysian restaurant. Make spre you top up the spice quotient by ord'rig a sambal/chilli side. It needs the extra heat.

One of the best Malaysian joints. Personally think tastes better than all the ones on Elizabeth St CBD.
