Grilled seafood
Sheenal S.

Went here on a Thursday night. Sat outdoors. Self service for cutlery water and condiments. Ordered the grilled seafood special with fish of the day (basa) , calamari and prawns and choice of salad rice or chips. Chose the greek salad. Got a massive serving of delicious fresh salad, a small fillet of Basa, two calamari rings and two large juicy prawns. Delicious satisfying feed all for a reasonable $16.60. Lots of options. Quick friendly service. Would go back.

Can you think of a better Fish & Chip Shop? Because if you can I would sure like to know about it! You have every option you could ever want from the local Fish and Chippery here and the local prices, plus they grill to perfection, they do incredible fresh and creative salads, grill fish that tastes like it was caught that day the way you want it and it all served in generous proportions! What an absolute delight! And my lawwwd the burgers! Sometimes you want a seafood meal that isn't seedy and greasey and isn't incredibly expensive and you can't be bothered cooking it yourself- so where do you go- Hunky Dory! Hunky Dory has found a niche that we have all needed and no one else has realised! Healthy, affordable seafood with the option of gorging on junk food. I am so in love with this place. I have nothing more to say, go there right now!

I've found heaven! This may sound a little (very) weird, but my favorite meal is a huge, fresh salad, with some grilled seafood perched atop. When it's all fresh, it hits the spot and you don't feel bad for having eaten something unhealthy. I'm sure they have more than this, but Hunky Dory makes EXACTLY this meal, only not with JUST fish, but fish AND calamari AND shrimp! For under $20 you can get a huge salad with three seafoods and chips on the side. SO good, perfectly seasoned and fresh! It's in a cute area here, and the staff is super friendly. Downside is that if you sit out front you will be fighting the birds away from your meal. Which, I suppose, makes the seafood experience all the more authentic?

The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake! Sorry couldn't resist a Disney quote. Hunky Dory is a great little fish and chip store minus all the usual unhealthy grease from those cheap and nasty fish and chiperys. They have lots of fresh seafood on offer and some very competitive prices to match. You can pick up singular items such as dim sims, spring rolls, calamari rings for about $1 or $2. Or if your feeling a little hungrier than that why not get yourself a Hunky Dory pack, the couples pack is perfect for you and a partner to either dine in or take away with you for a romantic date on the beach.

What a great way to start the morning. I Decided to go for a stroll and ended up at the market and…read morespent a good chunk of time then walked out with a bag of groceries. Reasonably priced and a great selection of products. If you ever want to prepare a meal, there's great selection.. Market city coffee was fantastic, bought some cheeses, and picked up a borek pastry. Market is separated into different buildings. Seafood, deli and meats, and I didn't get to walk to the produce section. I stopped in at nine, but according to Google, it opens at six. In a shopper. Owner told me they close at three on the weekdays and four on the weekends. Open every day!

Really great lively atmosphere with lots of people and the large downtown buildings in the backdrop of the market were beautiful! There was a great fruit and vegetable selection - I choose a few different fruit options to take back to my hotel later to enjoy. I LOVE mangosteen but it's hard to get fresh ones in the US so was super stoked to see those available! The indoor section with cheeses, meat and seafood was also super impressive! I snacked on some lobster and oysters then went outside and had some sugarcane juice and the BEST MUSSELS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Such a great day at this market!!

Best Deal: Value for $$$ beetroot salad paired with catch of the day fillet combo with aromatic hot chips Food: Generous Portion size. Good amount of fish. Service: Cashier is well presented, smiling & polite. Atmosphere: Whole Fresh Fish on Ice with Colour Coordinated Lemons, Chili and Greens. Clean. Food Court's Temperature is Climate Controlled. Mall's Toilet is posh & clean. Great Music at the right volume. Giant TV playing news & sports. Crowd: Office Workers mostly. Place is packed full of people eating thus the food must be good. The food turnover rate is high thus the food must be fresh. I give it 5 / 5 stars. I will surely come back again to try different dishes such as the burgers & drinks as they all look tasty. I highly recommend you to bring your family, colleagues and friends there this week for a pleasant gastronomic experience. :) Best regards, Jianfa Ben Tsai Fat Guy with 35 years of Restaurant Dining Experience Managed Food Business Worked at 5 Star Hotels

Normally I don't eat enough to consider a buffet but I made an exception for my colleague who…read moreinsisted we come here for lunch, which is $23.80 pp. The boys ordered a lot of meat dishes, plus rice and noodles, but I preferred to go with mainly seafood. Food came quickly at the start but then they lost one of our later order submissions so we waited ages for the last batch. If you are on a time constraint (damn you, work!), I would advise to order as much as possible in one go. I must say, this is the first opportunity I've had in Australia to indulge in all you can eat salmon sashimi, so naturally I went nuts and binge ate my way through these beauties. A few of them didn't have the fat completely trimmed off, but overall they were pretty decent quality. I thought the prawn dumplings were hella good, they were freshly steamed and hot (nobody likes warm dumplings!) and on par with my fave yum cha restaurant. The scallops (which were on the 'specials' menu), were special indeed, prepared a bit differently to what I've seen before, and garnished with sliced chilli, definitely worth getting a plate of these. Their grilled eggplant was cooked in a sweet miso sauce (I think?), very soft and tasty. That rounds off my top 4. Dessert options consisted of either sweet red bean soup (not bad) or seasonal fruit. Order both, just coz you can! I was quite impressed with the wide selection of different types of Asian cuisine available. The dining experience was more like a banquet, as they offer a sit down table service and bring the food to you, which is not common for buffets but definitely should be, from a hygiene perspective. FYI they do have chopsticks, but you have to ask for them. Come prepared with a huge appetite, and you will enjoy it here!

It is a nice environment to have gathering, but sometimes in the busy days are a bit noisy. Seafoods and foods are very nice and fresh, also foods are well presented.
