This place never disappoints!…read more The owners sponsor/support several orphans in Vietnam and tips go towards this great cause.Front of house staff leave a little to be desired (reminders for cutlery, if you are outside you may nee to wave them down to order, delivery of food isn't always great etc), however they are friendly and seem happy to be there. However what may be lacking up front is certainly made up for in the kitchen. The food always is fresh and tasty and covers off on all of the favorites, plus they keep it interesting with changing specials. Outdoor seating is great during periods of warmer weather with enough action happening in the local area to keep you entertained (if your dinner guests aren't up to the challenge), however not too much so as to be distracted if deep in dinner conversation.

This place has been in the ponds for ages, for some reason my work mates and I never considered…read morelunching here despite the fact we love Vietnamese food and eat at the other 2 Vietnamese restaurants on puckle street often. I guess we just forgot this existed? Anyway we corrected that right away when we realized the fact and had Friday lunch here. Prices are a bit steep compared to the other places. Just a tad though. But couldn't help but let this become a factor as the portion size of food we ordered was on the smaller side. It was incredibly tasty though! I ordered the pork skewer vermicelli salad and the others the same but with grilled chicken instead. I was surprised they dunk the dipping sauce in your bowl already - efficiency I guess? Not something I'm used to seeing but I didn't really mind it, but what happens if you diner couldn't tolerate chili or something like that? Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da) was good. They do it legit - and I say this because I know some places where they just use like instant Nescafé blend 46 coffee or something!) A huge plus with this place is because it's right next to the wine bar you get to order booze from them and have it sent over to you. That or you can go to the wine bar and then order from here and they deliver to you - love the partnership here. All in all. Of the 3 Vietnamese restaurants in moonee ponds, this is my second best pick. I wouldn't avoid it but I'll def come here if I'm after a change.

The only word I can say about this place was 'DISAPPOINTING". Being a thai cuisine lover, we went…read moreto try this new place. We ordered chicken dim sum for entree, bbq chicken noodles and a laksa. Bbq chicken noodle was average in taste, talking about laksa it wasnt anywhere close to what it should be. Plus they did not even have proper soup spoon cutlery for it. But to the surprise there was no sign of entree and we were halfway done on our mains. When we asked for entree, the server told us in return that we should have told them to get the entree first. WHAT CRAP, doesnt that what entree means?? We also took pad thai as takeaway which was equally bad. All in all a very bad experience and would not ho back here again.

I'm not entirely sure if one could call this an authentic Asian restaurant, though it is one of…read morethose places if you do happen to have a craving for some Asian fare that they can actually provide it to you. Honestly, I'd probably label it more as being Asian fusion, though considering the number of similar restaurants in the area, I suspect that it does try to more Asian as opposed to those restaurants that tend to pander towards those Australians who think they like Asian food, but have never actually tried to real stuff. Yeah, this place isn't too bad, and it isn't all that pricey either.

Hungry and in the Mill Park area? Head to Tian's Sushi and Noodle Bar…read more Tian's may be located behind Hungry Jacks in a tiny row of nondescript stores but that shouldn't deter you. You are welcomed warmly by staff even on your first visit and the food will make you return time and time again. They make sushi to order which ensures it is as fresh as possible, in fact it is the freshest and tastiest sushi I have had, and I have tried a lot. The vegetarian gyoza's make a great entree but be warned, you will want more then one serving. The noodle servings are generous and freshly made, the Singapore noodles filled with tasty ingredients including fresh and plentiful prawns. No matter how much you gorge yourself you feel vaguely healthy, despite being at bursting point. This is the antidote to greasy food court noodles. Sure the decor is noodle shop standard no-frills but it is immaculately clean so what else could you want? Great value, great service and fresh and good quality food. Eat in or take away but just make sure you eat here.

The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food is delicious and affordable. I will say the interior of the restaurant itself is a little grim, though it is very clean it's not a very inviting place to sit and eat your lunch or catch up with friends over dinner. They excel when it comes to take away (pick up) great food at a very affordable price!

The first thing that I must point out about this restaurant is that it is BYO, however they don't…read morecharge for corkage (though when I came here with my Dad I didn't realise it was BYO). If you're expecting authentic Chinese then maybe you need to look closer to the city because this seems to be more what what one would consider Asian Fusion - they have a mix of offerings, traditional Chinese and Malaysian. Still, it's a pretty decent restaurant and the staff are really friendly. The prices aren't all that bad either. They have a sit in area (which is pretty nice) as well as offering take-away. Okay, I wouldn't suggest you come all the way up to Epping to check it out, but if you are in the area it's a pretty decent place for a feed.

The chow garden has been an icon in epping since i was knee high to a grasshopper…read more It hasn't changed much over the last 34 years. Infact, i don't think its even had a new paint job but the fact they've been here since before i was born, in the same street, in the same building with the same owners is testament to it's chefs. The food is absolutely delicious and the prices are just as good. $30 for an 8 course banquet that will fill you up way before dessert arrives. Book a reservation or simply walk in but beware...on the weekends it gets quite busy. It seats anywhere from 1 person to around 80 comfortably and the decor is everything you'd expect from a late 70s early 80s restaurant that never upgraded its decor! However, the food is second to none and with eat in or takeaway available I highly recommend the chow garden as the quenching for your chinese thirst. It's as fresh as youd expect from any side street, out of the way and un advertised chinese affair but, it's extremely moorish and the staff are festidious when it comes to pleasing you. It is, however, 100% BYO so don't forget your beer or wine as the bottle shop is an annoying walk across the busy High street in epping. Which is to be avoided at the best of times. Great staff. Beautiful authentic chinese food in a hidden corner of Melbourne. Delivering the goods since time immemorial.
