On a recent trip to Melbourne we visited Golden Dragon. The street presentation is very ordinary to…read moresay the least. But inside, what a hub of noise and activity. The restaurant offered an amazing range of food including duck, snow crab, lobster, mud crab, and good vegetarian choices too. Mains are very reasonably priced between $14 and $17. Small range of beers and drinks are available too. We found the food very tasty, good portion size, and served VERY QUICKLY for such a packed restaurant. Obviously I'm going to say you should visit, most unassuming restaurant I've visited.

I work in the area and stumbled upon this place on its opening night last year…read more From the get go, this place is bustling with the locals coming both fit a find in experience and take away. To me it's the best dumpling place in the area with a reasonable selection of dumplings, meat and vegetarian options, this place has something for everyone. Favourites include the shao long Bao, and the fried eggplant pie with pork filling. It's something a bit different but worth a try. If you're a local looking for good inexpensive dinner or you are after a quick bite after shopping at the factory outlets, this is the place to go for a good feed at a very reasonable price.

But I noticed a lot of people coming in and out to pick up their for food ...Essentially Asian crowd, which is actually a pretty good sign when it comes to the food being authentic. It seems this business is thriving more online at first impression. Our experience for the food was great. We ordered 4 bowls of Pho noodle soup, and I must say I was quite pleased with it. My 2 toddlers ate all of it, which is not the norm I can promise you. Looking for affordable Vietnamese food in Thomastown, look no further.

If your looking for large servings of good value Vietnamese and Chinese food in Lalor then this is…read morethe place you should head! The Singapore noodles in this no-frills restaurant needed their own post code. As well as large they were totally delicious and they didn't scrimp on the prawns like some places tend do. The service is fast and friendly and its the place where everyone knows each other and a repeat visit makes you a regular! The 70's did call and ask for its decor back but this actually adds to the charm of this small restaurant!

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.
