We ordered the signature Curry Chicken Kapitan and Char Kway Teow (both highlighted with the chef hat sign), and they were outstanding. The Curry Chicken Kapitan featured a rich, aromatic sauce with tender chicken pieces, slow-cooked in spices, lemongrass, and coconut — perfect with steamed rice. The Char Kway Teow was smoky, flavorful, and well-balanced with prawns, squid, and bean sprouts, showcasing great wok-hei. A truly satisfying meal and definitely a place I’d recommend coming back to.

We were so pleased to see our favourite casual Vietnamese restaurant is open again after a fire caused the temporary closure. The food is still as good as ever. It’s so fresh and tasty. The staff are very friendly. We will be back soon to support this small family run business.

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.

August 2025: What a great find. Was walking along the lane towards Glenferrie train station when I noticed this restaurant. Apparently, it opened only 6 months prior. I am local and was not aware of this new establishment. Very pleased to see this restaurant in this location.
The Penang White Curry Mee is not a dish you find in most Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne. I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of this dish (amongst other great dishes) on their front wall. That's not all, it is priced much less than asian dishes prior to 2020. Congratulations to the owners of this restaurant for making it affordable for students and locals alike who seek out & enjoy genuine Malaysian Chinese cuisine.
Will definitely be back to sample all the other dishes with friends.
The staff members are very friendly and attentive. They will answer any questions you may have with a smile. I really enjoyed dining here. I highly recommend this restaurant 👌
