I came here because someone recommended this on xhs. I really liked the food here, it’s so yummy and the portion sizes are for two people. Will definitely come back again. The service was really nice too. I ordered the mashed potato and soft bone chicken rice noodle

I've visited here frequently. The food is excellent—generous portions, flavorful, and a wide variety to choose from. The service was good too, although initially, some staff mistook us for Chinese and attempted to speak Chinese with us. However, once they realized their mistake, they were very friendly. My favorite dish was the Fish Marwin &Chicken rice Soup, Sour spicy tender with pickled bean&Bamboo and you can't go wrong with the purple rice yogurt—it's a definite thumbs up. This place is truly the best in Melbourne."

I love 泡飯 (rice in soup) - it’s a super comfort food. So I was really excited when this place opened. The shop is clean and neat. Menu has some appetizers, small dishes, and many types of 泡飯, which can be switched to noodles. We ordered a mushroom 泡飯 (the first one in the menu) and the Yongchang beef 泡飯. Both were delicious, but the braised beef was especially good. The portions are large. Great meal for a chilly day.
