I really like this place. It's quick, delicious, filling and best of all it's cheap. I've been here…read morea few times with friends and I've never been disappointed with a meal. There is large selection of meals available and most recently I had the small roast pork plate. It was just perfection! Well cooked pork with crispy salty crackling, cut into small pieces making it easier to eat sitting on a small bed of bok choy. I almost wish there was slightly less pork bit more veg as the small size was too big for one person. The rice also needed to be ordered separately. Given the price I'm not going to complain and would make this a staple spot when I'm after a decent meal that doesn't break the bank. Highly recommended.

So much to unpack here ... There were four of us for dinner and they seated us at a strange table…read morefor six, and so we were kind of spaced out too much. They gave us only two menus for the four of us which was annoying. The soup came out first and the other three of us had to wait so much longer for our entrees to come out. They too came out staggered, and since the chicken ribs came out SO late, they were still eating them as their main meal came out. I hate that. Cutlery was practically thrown at us. No class or care. Didn't find any of the staff warm or friendly at all, sadly. The one redeeming feature is that the food is nice. Is it the best Chinese food I've ever eaten? No. But it would scratch an itch if you're craving it. Also, just pray that if you order the Sweet and Sour Chicken like I did, that it's not drowning in sauce, as the batter then goes soggy and the cutlery gets sticky and sauce ends up on the table. Sadly, I wouldn't return here. There was no warmth, atmosphere or anything inviting, and some dishes were dirty. Yes, the food is ok, and reasonably priced, but there are so many other places one could go to. Sorry, but just being honest.

In support of a friend who is currently researching for a business concept involving dumplings, my…read morehusband and I have visited a LOT of dumpling / dim sum / yum cha venues. To put this into perspective, next week we're travelling to asia to do just that. Anyhow, I digress. The point is we get through a lot of steamed (and fried) parcels of deliciousness. Ripples in Bentleigh (not the other Ripples which I'm lead to believe is less than fabulous) is rather tremendous. Take a look at the pictures I've uploaded and you'll see how fresh everything is. This is now amongst our new favourites in Melbourne. So why only four stars? Well... the debate at our table came to the conclusion that you can't give a place 5 stars when you've only been once. Surely at least a star should be reserved for consistency. Anyone can have a great experience once. It's really not my thing, but I'll also say this - Ripples is extremely child friendly.

Let me first say this was a very quick visit to this cafe. I was booked in somewhere else local…read morebefore going to the comedy theater but traffic blew out my plans so thought we'd try here. As we were in a bit of a rush decided to do a selection of starters which included duck rolls, waygu beef tataki, pork and kimchi gyoza. All the dishes were very well presented an all excellent. The starters seem to be Asian inspired but my quick look at the mains suggests more European and Australian. Staff friendly and attentive. Happy hour 5 to 7. Monteiths and 4 pines on draft. I'd definitely go back.

I had a selection from the bbq snack menu which was actually tasty. Its a shame that it took over 25 minutes for all people to get there food. We went for lunch. no idea if it is better at dinner. Previously I have been there for a drink after work. I asked for a lychee martini. When they served me, they said they made me a basic martini not a lychee one... but assured me it is the same price. Sooo not what I asked for so sent it back. They didn't understand the issue. Lowlights: - They missed one persons order. - They then gave noodles to someone that clearly stated they were unable to eat gluten. (they suggested the dish) - The menu online does not match the menu in the restaurant.

In fact this is certainly one of those rather no-frills restaurants that I absolutely adore. The other thing that stands out is that you have the meat hanging in the windows, and the fish in the tanks, something that you see all over the place in Hong Kong. Oh, and it isn't all that pricey either, though it certainly is quite popular.

Every dish was a flavour-packed masterpiece, and by course six we were so blissfully full we needed a brief intermission... thankfully, it arrived right on cue with the spectacular dragon dance weaving through the restaurant! The energy, colour, and music were infectious -- a perfect blend of food, fun, and festivity that captured everything we love about Hawker Hall. By the time dessert rolled around, we were convinced: ten years in, and they're only getting better.

Luckily we were able to snag the last seats at a communal high top table before their next reservation came in. The interior has lots of brick and is extremely hip. They're super cautious of allergies, asking at the start of the meal, supplying a color-coded water cup to those who have them, and carefully denoting which menu items are a no-go. The attention to detail and caution was extremely appreciated and shows that they run a tight ship. The menu is Asian with a modern twist. They're really about their craft beer selection too. Family style is the name of the game. They'll course everything out as it's ready and the dishes are served in small to mid-size shareable portions. Sadly I can't remember what we ordered (5 months ago) but what I do remember is that everything was delicious!

Crunchy and spicy soft-shelled crab straight out of the wok will hit your plate. It is simply delicious - crispy and sweet it goes down a treat with beer. The décor may not be up to much, but rest assured that the food is great and the prices right, with mains barely making $20. Classic Vietnamese and Chinese food always hits the spot, so I recommend heading there with a few friends or family and ordering a few things. Peking duck pancakes and deep fried five-spice squid are on the menu and are so good. Service is best described as brisk. They don't mince words or muck around here. If its food you want, you'll get it. Fast. You may want to try booking, but in my experience I've found that they are very accommodating if you stroll in. If you're driving consider waiting until after 6.30pm because traffic and ticket restrictions are lifted and you can park on the other side of the road without a fuss.
