Order Food in elsternwick

The GOAT fish and chips spot. Authentic, delicious and very fsirly priced whilst all the staff are incredibly friendly every time I come! Couldn't recommend more. Keep up the great work!

Randomly found this hidden gem, cheap eats and family friendly. Food is amazing and so worth the price. Prices are so damn good too!! Definitely worth coming back. If you’re on a budget for food eateries. Prices are below $20.

Amazing value for Malaysian food in CBD! If you’re looking for cheap eats, this is the place to go. There’s a good selection of dishes at just $10 with other options going up to $25. Hainanese chicken rice was quite tasty with a decent portion of chicken, although we did feel some plates had more than another (we ordered 3 serves of it). Chicken chop with egg noodles had a generous serve of meat and noodles, good flavour too. Chee cheung fun with sweet sauce had enough sauce and tasted great! Mostly cheung fun though, compared to fish ball and fish skin. Sarawak konlomee was a bit dry with not enough sauce, making the noodles white (when they should be brown in colour due to sauce) and bit tasteless. Restaurant is on the smaller end so it really is just for eating and go, turnaround is quick due to popularity. It gets quite busy during peak lunch and dinner times so be prepared to wait for a table.

La Chanh is another solid Vietnamese spot along Victoria Street with a wide range of dishes. We tried the pho and the vermicelli bowl. The pho had a light, delicious beef stock with chicken — no heavy MSG or oily feel like some other spots on the street. The noodles were okay in texture, and the chicken was cooked nicely. The vermicelli bowl was refreshing, and the chicken was cooked well. We also added a side of pork, which I felt could’ve been slightly more charred to get that smoky flavour that many places do. Overall, a decent experience and another good option along Victoria Street.

Returning to this restaurant after more than 10 years, the same tasty dishes and friendly owners make me feel at home. This place will be my canteen for lunch 4 days a week.

January 2026: I am a Level 8 contributor (>450 reviews) on Google and provide an unbiased feedback on eateries and experiences both in Asia and Melbourne. I was here in January to check out the Penang white curry noodles. As others have pointed out, the broth is quite diluted in taste compared to versions in Singapore and Malaysia. However, it still tasted good. The portion of noodles was generous. There were also 🐖 blood cubes and canned cockles. The latter was very chewy. Some MSG in the soup because I felt thirsty hours later. *Pork noodles soup* Delicious and there was no MSG in the soup. The pork slices were tenderised well and the minced pork balls were well marinated. They had a subtle flavour. I paid $10 in Feb 2026. *FIRST REVIEW (Below)* This is a small restaurant in Chinatown on Little Bourke Street between Russell and Exhibition Streets. The nearest train station is Parliament. The seating arrangement feels cramped but I was here for the food. I have a craving for fish🐟 fillet noodle soup and I paid $17.50. It was a huge portion, with 6 big pieces of fried fish. The fish tasted like basa, instead of rockling. The soup has a light creamy texture because of the addition of evaporated milk. I didn't taste MSG in the soup. There were also 2 sour plums which tasted very sour. The ginger was coarsely cut. Overall, I like the taste but would have preferred thin slices of ginger. Taste wise, it's on par with Laksa King's fish noodle soup, but cheaper. A surcharge applies in weekends and public holidays, waived upon cash payments. I waited quite a while for my dush to come even though I ordered before 5 pm on a week day. They have too many online orders. I came back days later on a Sunday to try the Hainanese chicken🐔 rice and rice rolls with sweet sauce. Each dish costs $10, on cash payment. There were many here who raved about the chicken rice. My opinion: the chicken pieces were not as tender as other venues because the ones that were served to me came from the thighs. I still prefer the Hainanese chicken rice at Kakilang. The rice was fragrant and delicious. At $10, this is a satisfying meal with generous portions. The rice rolls were delicious too with fish🐟 cake slices and 2 fish 🐟balls.
