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.

This is a great little local gem. It's nothing fancy, but there's a great extensive menu and the…read morestaff are friendly and the food is good. It's not necessarily the best Chinese food I've ever eaten in my life, but it was tasty and it scratched the itch I had for Chinese. There must be an additional/alternate menu if you're celiac or have a gluten intolerance, which you don't see in a heap of places. We didn't look at that, because we're fortunately ok, but the regular menu is long and full of things you know. The food was really nice. I thought the Chicken Fried Rice was a teeny bit underdone, but everything else was good. The batter on their Sweet And Sour Chicken was light and flavourful. Everyone loved what they got. Overall, I'd recommend this if you're in the area. It's not overly expensive and it's nice to support small, local businesses that do their best to provide friendly service and great meals.

A really nice and friendly fish and chip shop. So far I've just sampled the battered flake, potato…read morecakes and a few chips but I'm impressed. Obviously they use the top quality cholesterol free oil that they say they do. It's all in the taste and the fish tastes fresh! I can see this becoming my usual fish and chippy. Even though it's a little out of my way, it's worth it! Update: as they were leaving after consuming their own fish and chips at the next table to mine an older lady looked at me at said, "it's devine, isn't it?" Gotta say I agreed with her.
