The Gluten-Free Foodie
+4
Poons is a fantastic local spot to enjoy family style Chinese. Always lovely service and good range of options. Being gluten intolerant and coeliac (partner) it’s great they have gluten awareness and a separate GF menu. We had the lemongrass chili beef (mild) and Shredded duck noodles. Both were a solid 3.5/5 and tasty. Portion sizing is slightly small so we also had a serve of GF chicken wings each. Definitely first pick in the area.
I can’t rate Poons highly enough. They may lack the pizzaz of modern Asian restaurants but they do what they do very well. The food is always fresh, all the veg is hand cut and cooked to order. And if i order for delivery, it turns up in half the time quoted. Thanks Poons! I get healthy fresh food every time.
My all time favourite Chinese restaurant.
I’ve been coming here for over 25 years now.
Very friendly staff and great food.
Never had a bad meal here ever.
Amazing food, good service and fast catering!!! The chicken fried rice was really warm when it came out and the quality of it was amazing, definitely recommend!
Got my friend to pick up fried rice with chicken and vegetables for takeaway. Have been very happy with them for the last ten yuears. This time I found the food was a cold but well cooked nevertheless. Will give them benefit of the pressure they are sometimes under. Good people though.

Went here for lunch and had the $27 banquet. Although it specified sweet corn soup we were able to have either short or long soup if we wished. We enjoyed all of the dishes and the service was good as well.
the best chinese restaurant amazing food lovely staff always around if you need something =) one very happy poons customer. i will continue going to this restaurant as i have been going to poons for a very long time since i was 17 and I'm now 29!!! I LOVE POONS !
Cheap good food. Service not so good. Good range of menu items, atmosphere is very loud. The scallop congee was incredibly good! Will go back
Some of the best Chinese takeaway food I've had. Beef and Black Bean, lots of tender beef & fresh crispy veg light sauce not too salty or sweet. Mongolian Beef the same tender Beef, fresh veg, not overly sweet or spicy just well rounded flavours. Special fried rice, plenty of good size real pork, chicken and shrimp light fluffy rice not oily/greasy just damm good.
Fast service, 10min from ordering my food was ready, hot and fresh. Reasonable prices with a good selection of the usual choices plus chefs Specials.
My only complaint is its too far from home to eat here more often so can try more of the menu.
Thanks guys, I'll be back....eventually!
Delicious! I ordered the chicken and corn soup and fried rice. It came 15 mins earlier than expected and was extremely tasty.
Had a lovely dinner with my colleagues at Poons - great food, service and fun! Definitely will be back.
Just ordered on Menulog, can’t believe we dint discover this gem in Footscray sooner
the steak with black bean sauce was absolutely delicious.
-1 as our hot and sour sour soup was really really sour. Will definitely try again and probably increase it to 5 stars
Great local Chinese restaurant that we tried as someone said they do gluten free. They have a separate gluten free menu which you need to ask for. Good friendly service and really tasty food.
Amazing service, food was really good and brought out very quick. Power outage due outside sources turned into a candle light dinner and didn’t slow them down in the slightest
Poons is old school Aussie style Chinese that your mum and dad use to take you too and that's not a bad thing. The food is really nice. We have been meaning to visit for many years. The only reason I dropped a star is at this time they don't do EFTPOS.
