Never had a better green thai curry. We were pleasantly surprised, such a good choice. And good rice, the whole order was amazing. Definteley reccomend above everything else we have had in Sunnybank.

I have been to Michael's Oriental twice, first for my school semi formal in 2009 and just recently. I ordered the Lemon chicken & calamari balls to share with my partner and both meals were nice. The calamari balls were delicious and calamari wasn't chewy. The lemon chicken was zesty and flavoursome (we ordered a special fries rice on the side). I wouldn't mind coming back here again.

I've been to Michael's Oriental on two occasions - and both times they were for wedding receptions. I enjoyed the multiple course meals, and the service was of a high standard. Good place for a more formal meal and good Chinese fare.

Michael's is my local Chinese takeout, I usually take away Mongolian lamb, chicken with cashews and friends rice and prawn crackers ( a massive bag for $5) lamb n chicken are both tender and full of flavours, the service is exceptional and it usually take 20 mins to get the meals ready, which works out well for us. I would highly recommend Michael's. I've never been disappointed.

We have been coming to Michael's Oriental for a number of years now. Our favourite has always been the flat fish, and their pineapple curry. I feel like however, the food/level of service has gone down a bit over the years, which is a shame.

Great food and great selection.
I do enjoy ordering the banquet menus as it gives room for selection and to try things I wouldn't normally pick on the menu. Portion sizes are fantastic too although class is still maintained.

Great ambience for a group setting or a couples dinner. Service is fantastic and we always love Michael coming to the table to greet his customers and get to know where they come from.

Always a family favourite - high recommended.
Top dishes : beef rendang, lemon chicken, curry puffs and deep fried Icecream.

I had fish and chips and for desert I had an ice cream sundae. The fish was cooked well and the chips were amazing. The ice cream was good with the chocolate sauce.

Since this restaurant moved from Sunnybank Plaza (current venu of Sunnybank Oriental), the owner "Michael" really can extent his PR work and concentrates on arranging functions. Nevertheless, it dosen't mean that a la carte will be a weakness of this award-winning restuarant. I had tried to dine in and found that they are doing a Malaysian Chinese style cuisine. Culinary skills are good, so as the qualities of foods. The only let down was the service and we had to wave our hands quite often to attract the attendence of the wait-staff. Wish the management will keep an eye on it.

Ms Suia. We had a family birthday celebration here recently 7 adults & 1child & 1 baby & it was the most pleasurable dining experience we have had in a very long time. Lovely & safe for our boiterous grandson. Service person was attentive, knowledgeable & helpful.
Food was deliciously morrish & such generous serving. What I appreciated more was the thoughtful service shown to our grandson who was "starving" it was suggested by our service staff to bring his food first which was greatly appreciated I'm sure by all the diners there. The deep fried Mars bars was absolutely divine. Would return again for next family celebration in a heart beat.

Fabulous. I have been here a few times now and the food is top quality. Not the cheap run of the mill Chinese cuisine. All free of MSG which you can tell when you eat it, you can taste all the individual flavours. Simply perfect. I love the beef with basil, pumpkin curry and pretty much everything. There is not a bad dish on the menu. Very fresh ingredients and a mark above anything else in the area. If you like quality then it is a must try

Exceptional customer service, fast and friendly and great food. Recently went to Michael's for dinner whilst on a business trip. Found the food lovely, not full of MSG, sauces were subtle, menu was diverse and being involved in customer service for 30 years, I am stickler for good service, Micheal's staff were exceptionally friendly, even during their peak times, helpful also with the menu.

So impressed was I with the above, that I chose this as a reunion meeting place the following night with an old school friend I have not seen for 25 years, I do not regret it at all. Not only was the food lovely, but so too the staff and we were the last to leave, the staff were in no rush to move us on, as I have experienced previously and Michael came out at the end after a busy day to have a friendly chat also.

Definetely will be back to dine at Michael's Oriental when next in town. All staff need to be congratulated for their exceptional service. Thank you.

BEST QUAIL IN THE WORLD. My family and I have been dining at Michael's at least once a week since it opened in 1989, 24 years. The food is always excellent. Our favourite is the Quail. You have to test the Quail....it's addictive and the best in the world. Must also try the duck...wow ! and Pumpkin Curry Chicken! The food is always fresh and they don't use re-cycled oil, chemicals etc, unlike other cheaper restaurants around market square. Take a look at the photos of wall of fame, you will see Former Prime Minister John Howard, Singer John Farner Actor John Jarratt, King walli Lewis, Lord mayor Graham Quirk etc.

Fantastic!!!. From the moment I entered the building and was greeted by their beautiful Chinese hostess I felt welcome and comfortable. The ambience was only surpassed by the delicious food and gracious service. I fully recommend you to try Michael's Oriental for a truly superb dining experience.

Hidden gems in the South Side!!!Best Pumpkin Curry Chicken ever!!!. I was dragged along by few friends to this asian restaurant. For me...There is not much surprises from asian restaurants in Brisbane I wud say. Before I arrived, all I can think of is "just another asian place"... I can admit that I was completely wrong!!! Their menu is rather impressive. Beside all those typical asian dishes, e.g. mongolian lamb, sweet sour something... Their curry is a must try. I have ordered Pumpkin curry chicken, and it tasted sensational, I can tell they don't just put some coconut milk n curry powder n mix together like the places at Market square and very flavorsome, i can taste that they have put lots of herbs to achieve this favor, best of all no msg. This dish is served in a actual pumpkin.. So fancy... other dishes are up to standard too. The thing that I like about this place is, most of their dishes involved using lots of herbs and spices. I gusse this is what true asian cooking all abt. Definitely not "JUST ANOTHER ASIAN PLACE". I surely will be back to try other dishes... Money that worth spent !!

Excellent. I have been a regular at Michael's for the past 6 years both dining in & takeaway. Michael's is my choice for fine dining in the Southern Suburbs. The atmosphere at Michael's is relaxing & pleasant. Staff are friendly & attentive to the customers needs. The food at Michael's is leagues ahead of anything else around. The ingredients are fresh, no MSG or chemicals used. I can't recall ever being disappointed with my dining experiences. In contrast I have eaten at Market square in some of the Asian restaurants & they have been everything Michael's is not - loud, ordinary food, lousy service. If you want fine dining Michael's is the place & the price is very reasonable.

Michael & his partner are very personable with the cliental & make sure that your dining experience is memorable.

Thumbs up from me. My wife & I love this place.

Refreshing. I had visited this place about a year ago with friends and although the food was ok I wouldnt have gone out my way to reccomend it. However I recently attended a function here and the quality of food has increased dramatically.
I eat out a few times a week and usually will head down to market square for some cheap eats but after experiencing some of the dishes here (especially the Malaysian curry lamb) I think i'll have to fork out a couple of extra dollars and make the trip back to Michael's. There was a sign up advising of a new chef so maybe that explains the dramatic increase in quality who knows.
Food - Amazing, Service - No complaints, Price- Reasonable.

Well handled reservation. Tables neatly organized for our big family of 12. Orders were taken very clearly, waitresses were very friendly and prompt with service. Food itself was well worth the price and tasty. Very nice place to be going to for an elegant dinner.

Last Friday 17th June I had the best vegan curry at Michael's Oriental ever! it was the red curry on the vegan menu. I have been a vegan since 2015. We received very good table service from a attentive, efficient, polite waiter from the Philippines. I have eaten at Michael's Restaurant before food is always amazing.

The best resturant ever, we have been there for a dine in and have also done takeaways. Tonight we were there again and absolutely amazing service and very delicious food. The sweets at the end were just what we needed; the kids enjoyed it, all as well as ourselves. I would definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends.

Amazing food as always! The soup and food was really good, and with a big bucket of rice for a small amount of money it was a great dinner! The staff was lovely as well, and making a reservation over the phone was nice and easy.
