Order Food in balwyn

5isters Mediterranean Kitchen serves hearty, comforting food that feels made with care 🫒 The flavours are bold without being overwhelming, and the portions are generous. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy a proper sit-down meal. Warm service and authentic Mediterranean flavours make this a reliable choice for a satisfying meal.

First, the obvious thing: this place is a value play. Where else can you get this much food for the prices they charge? But how does it taste? The food is nothing to shout about. The saving grace is that their sambal is pretty good. Other than that, it was pretty meh! And service? Nonexistent. To be expected. But to make things worse, even after repeating my order THREE times (asked for curry fish fillet bee hoon, not the regular white soup one), they still got it wrong!!! Seriously? Then it took more than 30 mins to get our food with appetizer coming last. I mean does nasi lemak take 30mins??? And it was pretty clear that they were prioritising takeaways because the guy after me got his food 15 mins before me. Nope - not worth the hassle even at the attractive prices.

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.

I found this little gem without any expectations. It felt like walking into someone's house who is keen to cook for me. The elderly man was most likely the owner who seemed like a humble human being with culinary skill. He helped us order and we were rapt with the dishes. The lamb ding ding noodles was just filling and flavourful. I surely want to try the other dishes next time and on top of that he was kind enough to let me try the Yoghurt drink for free! I just couldn't thank him enough for the hospitality.

Had the lunch pack. 1 pce fried flake, dim sim, potato cake and small chips for $14.00. Everything was great. Chips were perfect. Flake was really good and potato cake was fantastic.
