Good value, sizeable portions, decent flavours. Service is basic but fine for the price and food. Hard to find a place serving $10 meals. Portion sizing is larger than the Glen Waverley branch.

I was super excited to finally try their AUD$10 Hainan chicken rice & traditional kolo mee. Both are decent portions and quite filling. The Hainan chicken rice was well worth it, the kolo mee was ok, though people said it's very authentic. Nice and spacious environment. Will visit again.
2nd visit we had Sarawak laksa, pork noodle soup, pork & century egg congee (fresh batch every 2 days), vinegar pork trotter with rice & fish head noodle soups. I don't think either of the noodle dishes & congee were great. The pork trotter was quite yum for $10 though. Will stick with rice dishes next time!

This place is our canteen. We come here at least once a week. We love the $10 malaysian food, especially white curry mee and kolo mee. The service is very good. All must come to try it and support the generosity of the boss when all chinese restaurants have raised their food price, but this place still....today we tried their deep fried fish crackle snack (ikan lekor) for the first time and its surprisingly good.

Delicious Chinese Malaysian food. Most of their meals are priced between $10-15 (at the time when this is written). If you want good cheap food, this is the place.

Don't listen to the boomers yapping about how the food doesn't 100% taste like their grandmother's cooking or how it was back in their kampong.
Don't be mistaken, Nan Yang Express is the culinary establishment of the people. $10 for a Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice or Kolo Mee which is about 80-90% of authenticity in taste and a very fair portion. Add Sarawak Laksa, Fish Head Beehoon and many other main dishes to the mix and this can easily be one of the best Malaysian/Singaporean restaurants in the country.
Customer service is expected of any East/South East Asian restaurant. Remember to write your table number on your order!
With ample free parking at the back, $10 per meal and opening hours till 9pm, Nan Yang Express represents the beacon of hope to the SEA Chinese diaspora far from home(or anyone messed up by inflation really) and hungry for a good deal.
