Amazing food! We have been coming to this so many times, every single dish is so tasty.
Generous serves, nice staff, great variety, nice location, very, very tasty! get to your nearest Petaling without delay!
Great food, prompt and friendly service. Great atmosphere!
Great Food excellent prices
Service was very good, food was excellent, setting is very nice........must go again :-)
Better then Mamak and Pappa Rich imo!
I dont get the negative reviews here. The food is generous and flavorful, price is cheap and service is not that bad (quite fast, no fuss, free tea). I love their fish selection with different cooking styles. Their congee fed me for two meals (i took the leftovers home).
Ordered Assam Laksa and Hot Cham here for dinner. Pleasantly surprised by the taste and quantity of the bowl of laksa. Just needed some extra har kou. Cham came served in a large tankard as well. Service was not the best, but was made up by the standard of the food.

Great feed here the other day. Service was fast and polite, we went out of peak periods. The servings were very generous in size and good flavour. Stand out was the marmite chicken ribs which were juicy and flavoursome. The food is really great for the price
This is my favourite restaurant in box hill for after work dinner. Why? Order their fish head curry laksa and you will know, not to mention their great customer service and fast food serving speed.
The Tom Yum Fried Rice was decent any they gave a good amount of it. The real reason for the 5 star review is because the wait staff were very nice and provided me with free tea. The place is very busy and waiting time it's quite high.

Was looking for Petaling Street after moving to Melbourne as I was religiously having it in Sydney. When I chanced upon it at Box hill, I knew I have to give it a try despite of the average comments given on Zomato. We ordered a SEAFOOD LAKSA, MEE GORENG and CLAMS (pipis) in XO with BACON SERVED WITH CHINESE DONUT (youtiao which is also known as ‘dough fritters’). The seafood laksa came with squid, imitation crab meat, clams, prawns and the highlight which were MUSSELS. Its the flavour from the shell fish that enhances the soup. Something that I couldn’t find in Lagenda nor Laksa King. In Singapore, the shell fish used was cockles. Also, the gravy has a hint of curry leaves which was the right asian flavour you will need to find in a bowl of authentic laksa. The others that doesn’t have it, I can only name them as ‘curry noodles’ to be honest. The mee goreng was still alright, not spicy enough as it was a little too sweet. The gravy that coats the noodles could be a little more. Clams in Xo sauce served with dough fritters was good. Fresh tasting clams with savoury gravy matches well. The dough fritters was absolutely delicious after soaking up part of the hot gravy. Dough fritters were crispy and fresh (as in doesn’t feel like they fried it and put aside for long time). Will be back again.
One of my go to malaysian restaurant whenever we’re bored of trying something new in Box Hill. I’ve come to this place for a couple of times and they never dissapointed me. My personal favourite is their clams with chinese donuts (I’m so sorry I forgot to take picture of that since we’re super famished) and their fish (just ask them which one is the most popular one). We usually eat them with rice but this time my friends wanna also try their fried rice. They didn’t disappoint us at all. The price I think is quite affordable and they have a pretty large place, so you don’t have to worry of queuing to get a table in here.
Petaling Street definitely does provide value for money, they have a large variety of dishes to cater to all. I've been to many of their franchises and found that the Box Hill outlet stands out from the others. Staff may have a hard time understanding you & the place could definitely do with a clean up but they are the only negatives I've been able to deduce from Petaling Street. My last encounter at Petaling Street, I came with no expectations, it was late and close to closing time so I'd made peace with a disappointing meal but oh my god was I wrong. $15 here goes a long way.
Fair price with plenty food. The food standards never reduce. I often visit this restaurant for lunch offers. LOL
My boyfriend lives Hainan chicken with coconut rice.
We ordered fried telapia, a plate of clams, some greens, a bean curd dish and rice. Fed four people for around $65. Everything was delicious and fresh.
I always come here because of the fish and fried keow tyaw. The portion is big and value for money. They are open til 12am most nights so it's a good place to go after night shift at the restaurant.
The service is ok.
UPDATE 4/7/2017
$9 lunch menu?
How do they do it?
Less pungent, revamped a little, better food and plenty to choose from those 5 pages of A2 Menu with photos.
And cheap $3.90 Tsingtao beers ..... maximum three bottles per customer, okay, cheers 🥂

What used to be La Porchetta, then Straits of Malacca (please correct me if I'm wrong), then a few owners. On the main esplanade of food in Box Hill, huge, high ceiling, two tiered dining level, mezzanine, open kitchen and okay service.
Just one always and too many "Sometimes" is not a good reminder to comeback .......
This place is a great go to place if you want something good in an affordable price. My first experience with the place was some what disliking because the environment did not give me the vibe that this is a place to dine in. But i was shocked as to the food being really good and delicious. We ordered 5 different dishes and all served up to the expectation. I did wish the portions of the food to be a bit more, and the also the food did not come fast enough. Service around this part of the city is somehow missing, but this place proved it wrong by having good, smiling waitresses with kind and good sense of humour. None the less i know i will visit this place again to see if the rating i gave is what they deserve or is it just i felt that way.
Went for dinner- great prices especially for seafood options. I very much enjoyed the clam in spicy sauce. The drinks were very delicious! My partner ordered roti and chicken curry. He found the Roti to be too oily though it was crispy. For the price it was reasonable.
Nice Malaysian food. We love the Pipi special (curry flavoured one) and the sambas fried fish special with rice. Very good value for seafood.
Absolutely fantastic resturaunt, one of the only and first local resturaunts that I've discovered to have the meat on tofu toast, amazing food and great service.
Delicious food and reasonably priced.
Petaling Street serves Malaysian hawker style food located in the busy Asian strip along Station Street Box Hill. Hidden behind the multiple posters covering the shopfront is a very large restaurant with ample seating. The ambiance is very casual and decor is extremely dated and feels grubby, but this adds to the Hawker style atmosphere. Food was fresh and full of robust Malaysian flavour, there was definitely no scrimping on ingredients. Servings were large enough to share or take leftovers home. Service was good and was in line with the casual atmosphere. Price was relatively inexpensive given the extensive fish options on the menu.
***Tried Petaling again last week November 2018 and they took the Singapore Crab off the menu! They have changed it to a smaller crab still well priced but not as good as the original one.
The Nasi lemak was very tasty and filling with all of the components working in harmony. I am looking forward to trying some other items on their menu.
Had lunch here with friends and we love it! The pork was crunchy and seasoned well, the kamhiong clams was good as well, we asked for extra chinese donout and it really compliment the dish. The hainan chicken was awsome, tender chicken with well balanced sauce. Was a bit dissapointed with the kuey tiao as it was recomended by family member which sadly i think straits cafe still win for this. But overall very happy with our lunch, and definitely will go back to try the others! :)
4/6
Had a late dinner with my partner, i ordered the fried fish with petaling sauce, my partner ordered chicken with butter curry sauce and fried rice, the chicken was awesome, my fish was very crispy but the sauce was overly sweet. Service was good as usual.
Had the Nasi Lemak, which I found to be quite simple and ordinary - it was a good eat and served as one would expect ordinary Nasi Lemak. Service standard was ordinary, though tea was poured and refilled by the service staff, which was a nice touch.
The biggest turn-off, however, wasn't the food, but rather the tables / seating. The tables that have the booth seating (as opposed to chairs) were horrible to sit at, and unfortunately, most of the tables here have the booth seats. The table is too high / seat too low, which made the eating experience very bad and left me with a sore back afterwards.
Hands down, best roti I've ever had. Nothing compares. Also the best Nasi Lemak I've had. The Assam Fish Fillet Curry (off-the-menu item) is amazing. I could eat it every day. Boyfriend loves the Char Kway Teow with Duck Egg. Honestly these items are so good we haven't explored much else on the menu, despite us dining here on a regular basis for over 18 months. Love it.
Very disappointed with their signature xo crab with dry noodle, crab meat tastes like its been frozen and thawed, the rest taste good as usual!
I really like the food here! And the drinks are nice too, although pricey at times. The service is nice here and the cleanliness of the restaurant is good. Much better than the Glen Waverley one!
I will give this Petaling more credit, since the food standard is stabler than the Glen Waverley one. Has come here 4 times since last 3 months now and nothing was seriously disappointing.
Recommended:
Sizzling minced pork with Tofu
Hainaness Chicken
I also like Hakka Style Pork Belly and Satay Beef Claypot but it's a little too salty for my friends.
I just love this place. Am always sticking to my fav nasi lemak and/or beef rending w/ dry noodles... sometimes both! yes am a greedy gut! :) they have other outlets but I prefer this one as they have never got it it wrong when it comes to nasi lemak and my curry mee. The clayton one has mucked it up s few times. ie. it wasn't so good..
"...HEY.. I'M NO EXPERT ON MALAYSIAN FOOD.. BUT.. THIS PLACE REALLY 'TICKED ALL THOSE BOXES'.. FRESH, FULL OF FLAVOUR, FAST - GREAT SERVICE, GENEROUS SERVES, GOOD VALUE.. FFS..!! WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT??..."
Just got back from 'feasting' at PETALING STREET, Station Street, Box Hill...
I'm so content, I gotta go lay down.. can't stay sitting up... - all the details when I wake...
Truly... get there tonight - so cool, so comfy, so tummy scrumptious...!!!
Won't leave much of a dint in your pocket, either.. kinda important - this time of the year...
Visited on Wednesday 18th November 2015 for a late Lunch with my son.
First time to try out petaling street. A great experience, food come out nice and quick. Only found their fish dish was pretty oily and wasnt full of flavours. It was basically battered deep fried fish and then the sauce was placed on top. Other than that price was quiet reasonable. And very happy that they accept creaditcard payment as many boxhill restaurants dodge the system and make it cash only.
Good variety and very tasty food. My favourite dish turned out to be the petaling street crispy pork dish. The ice kacang dish was quite authentic as well. Fully recommended.
Good, fast, cheap mostly Malaysian food - do a great roti and fried rice - worth a try. Always pop in here for a quick meal before/after work
I love the roti here!! Working in the area my partner and I regularly pop in for a quick meal. I love the veggie fried rice and my partner gets the curry chicken with roti. Food also comes really quick with good staff. It's not a fancy restaurant but would definitely recommend it!
YUMMY :). I like Petaling Street. My boyfriend and I have come here a few times now, and never had an issue.
Their Chicken Laksa is delicious....!!
Our waitress last time remembered our order from the last, and she was so friendly and lovely. I loved that she remembered us, it made us both feel special :)
We look forward to coming back soon!
Thanks so much
Bloody good food. Beef rendang was particularly good. Chicken Roti Chanai was also superb as was the crispy whole fish with the Thai sauce
Finally come back after close nearly two years, nice food and good service.
Welcome back, petaling street
It's back. And judging from the half full restaurant at only 12.30 (and full before we received our meals) I'd say it's been missed by a lot of locals. The Har Mee was both fragrant and flavourful. You could smell and taste the prawn heads/shells used in the broth. The whole fish with Nyonya sauce was also tasty, and was crispy enough that the fins were edible like chips.
Staff were keen to impress with it being newly opened, so service was polite and efficient (for uni students, anyway, which I am guessing they were).
Welcome back Petaling Street
Cheap n Tasty. Food: Most items on the menu are sensational
Value: Outstanding
Service: Super fast
Staff: Who cares at these prices
Atmosphere: I go there to eat
Cheap Malaysian. Service was non-existent and they don't serve alcohol... but when you're paying $10 a main, who really cares? Food was delicious, especially the huge curry laksa, which could have been served in a bucket! Certainly not the most atmospheric of places, but great for a budget friendly, no frills feed.
Cheap and quick food...Love it. To all those people who have given bad reviews, I don't agree at all.
Me and my wife felt a bit lazy to cook and were on the lookout for some cheap food in box hill, as it's clsoe to where we have recently moved. HAving not known or heard about this restaurant, we happened to just walk in.
We both ordered Claypot Rice dishes. Mine was chicken and fish which was very ordinary. My wife's was Pork and that was great tasting.
Overall I would give it 8-9/10 for taste and value for money and will surely be going tehre again.
We paid $18.50 all together and there is no way we can get cheaper food than this in whole of melbourne.
Guys this is not fine dining :). Stop whinging. You get what you pay for.
The menu has lots of dishes to try, so surely I will be heading again.
Yummy Malaysian. The service here is crap. Lets face it though, most places in Box Hill are a little under par with there service.
The food here on the other hand is delicious and very reasonably priced. I love the wonton noodle soup and the malaysian roast chicken.
Don't expect that your food will come out at the right time or even that the waitress can speak english.
However more importantly you can expect for there to be great food!
First time. Awesome evening with my mate over there,nice people even they don't smile a lot and product knowledge poor,but they can do better if they want. cheers

Quick and delish. Great value arvo tea meal for $6.80. I come here often. Their serves are bigger than the ones that glen waverley petaling and also the flavours are much better. The service is casual, not much other than the plonk of the dish on your table. But for casual dining, I love the taste and value. The chau kuey teow is one of the best I've had, though it had some kind of clam meat which was very fishy :/ Though I crave their roast malaysian chicken with rice the most with the hot milk tea. Ahhhhhh, very satisfying autumn meal!
Always consistent pick me up Malaysian Hawker food. Not great but enough to hit those cravings. Dishes range from ok to decent. Service is inviting and friendly

Great Malaysian food for a very reasonable price. Friendly service and fast serving.
I have been here a few times at different timings. I find that the service is better when you go in for an early dinner, rather than at dinner time (7pm) as the place is really crowded and sometimes has a queue.
Ordered the sambal French beans, marmite ribs and sizzling hot plate toufu.
The hot plate toufu was ok, I would have preferred the hot plate to be hotter, thus more sizzle. It was delicious though and we finished most of it. The marmite pork ribs was recommended by the staff as the menu only has marmite chicken. We were delighted with it and it was not too sweet and very well marinated. The sambal French beans was very delicious. One note to future customers though : one bowl of rice is a very big portion. So do share if you aren’t a rice fan.
Big shout out to one of the lady staff who gave my child a Lolly as the child was not too happy with waiting for his food.
Nice Malaysian cuisine and staff were very friendly...
Comment soon..
Hope get improve soon..
