Great quality ingredients (have been over 12 times post covid - tried about 10 dishes), great chef(s), great variety. My personal fav is hor fun. Host is highly personable - staff same. Fair pricing (just under $20 after 'cost of living' increases). Highly, and happily, recommended.

We had an amazing Saturday night celebrating our daughter’s 18th birthday. The service was exceptional and extremely accomodating. All our guests commented on how delicious the food was and the drinks went down a treat too. Keira, a special thanks to you for a very memorable evening for Jasmine.

Surprisingly quiet in the evening considering how good the food is. Laksa seems to be a customer favourite, especially the chicken

Great Malaysian food, highly recommend their green curry, the pad Thai and their Laksa (vego reviewer). Highly recommend in an area that lacks good (or any) restaurants!

Office and city vibe. Being close to offices, easiest and busiest place to head out for lunch. Food portions are good and well priced. Comparatively less options for vegetarians. Road side parking is less as being to city offices. Outside seating adds on to lively ambience and vibe. Overall, food is lovely, ambience is good, service is quick and nice.

Always wanted to try this place, as we live in the area and it's always packed, so we decided to come for dinner. I ordered the Vegan Laksa ($17.9) - Curry laksa soup with coconut milk, hokkien & vermicelli noodle, eggplant, bean, bean sprouts, and tofu. Service was friendly and quick. Loved the food, it came in the right temperature and portion. Great value for money! Will definitely come back again to try their other food items.

We found this place while visiting from Adelaide for the weekend. Can't speak highly enough of the whole experience, from the quality of the fresh, delicious food, to the service from the friendly staff. Even the owner came to chat with us and ask how our night was ! If we're ever in Melbourne again will definitely revisit.

Great place for a quick and Authentic Malaysian food. The setup is quite vibrant with a bar. Their lunch set comes with Wine is you are really up for it. I ordered the Char Kue Tiau, which is a stir fry rice noodles with seafood. It had a few big prawns and some sliced fish ball. It taste quite authentic.
