The best fish and chips I've ever had!! The batter on everything is absolutely delicious and crunchy, it's not oily at all, the fish is so fresh and the serving sizes are very generous at affordable price points. I get the hunky dory pack for a good selection of menu items that I know will fill my stomach with happiness! The space itself has a nice and light beach vibe which is incredibly inviting. Come hungry and ready for some good food!
Amazing service here and the food comes out really quick. Really good greek salad here amazing taste and texture. Chips are also crispy. Salmon nice and tender
I really like its fish and chips. the best in the area while the location is in walking distance to my office. other foods are also delicious
Great fish and chips on a grand scale. The fried calamari is delicious, the grilled fish was just as good. Chips are always a highlight. Hunky Dory has a great atmosphere, friendly staff and food that always delivers. Highly recommended.
Looking for a local fish and chips with FINesse? ;) well youāve arrived at your destination. Hunky Doryās is Melbournes upmarket fish and chip shop. With restaurant settings and take away options this franchise is beginning to blow up. They offer the standard fish and chips but loads more options with calamari, grilled and fresh seafood and salads.
Definitely recommend checking it out - but get in early it gets real busy!
+ Food, freshness, dining options, menu variety
- Wait times when busy, missing oysters and as always I think itās insane F&Cs donāt offer free tomato sauce at tables. Every Chinese restaurant has soy and hot sauce #justsayin
Was a very busy Friday night at Hunky Dory in Moonee Ponds.
Customer service was pretty good and food was delicious!
Rice was well seasoned and calamari was absolutely the bomb!!! My favourite dish at Hunky!
Only bad thing was the Greek salad! Wasnāt dressed very well and just tasted oily...
Definitely returning within the next couple days!! :)
Iāve been here soooo many times with my family and Iām impressed with the food and service. The food is simply delicious and it is quickly made. This place is somewhere I always come back to.
I love hunky dory! Itās a relaxed atmosphere, you never have to wait long, the food is fresh and the serving sizes are great. The grilled calamari is delicious, it has this really nice salt mix on it and the grilled salmon fillet is also great. Big fan of the miso broccoli and kale super salad!!

Having visited the Watergardens store and enjoying our experience and new found cravings for Fish and Chips, we decided today to visit Hunky Dory in Moonee Ponds. Located amongst a hub of restaurants and a shopping precinct, this was the perfect destination for a warm evening.
Notoriously known for how busy it is, today was no different with almost every table full and a queue beginning to form. Expect a wait time for food if it is busy! Regardless, we were fortunate to get a seat right away and to have our food come quite quickly too. Service here is definitely friendly and welcoming, with staff attentive and accommodating to your needs. The overall ambience of the restaurant also resembles a positive fish and chips environment.
Today we ordered two hunky dory packs and a salmon fillet on its own. The salmon fillet here is definitely crispier than Watergardens, tasting fresh and tender / melt in your mouth good. The flake is also noticeably larger, tasty, whilst the dim sims also tasted great. The chips however were quite bland, much like the potato cakes. Dry, a bit tough, but otherwise a decent compliment to the stars of the show- the fish. We can't blame them as the amount of people here surely influence this.
Overall a very satisfying meal, and one we would recommend to fish lovers. Try the salmon and the flake :)

Best fish Iāve ever tried! Staff always friendly and itās a nice spot to stop by and have lunch. Thereās seats inside and out so you can sit in the sun on those sunny days.
I have been to hunky dory well over 10 times and not once come across having a bad experience! I always have the same order! Chargrilled calamari! It literally melts in your mouth like butter, chips are crunchy, and salad always so fresh!
My go-to meal when I canāt be bothered making dinner. Takes no time for the food to come out but the fish is still cooked and seasoned well.
Can NEVER go wrong with hunky dory! Such fresh produce! Come here weekly and I am always happy!
Grilled fish pack with brown rice and Greek salad is the go to for me!
The best fish and chip shop
Order at the counter and they deliver to your table or take away service is available!
Affordable pricing with great product.
Food: great place to satisfy your fish and chips cravings but price range is quite highā very happy that the tartare sauce is not one of them mini sauce packets š
Service : quite busy during 7-8 pm, and limited seating
Rating: 3.5/5 , would return šš»

Always love coming to hunky dory cause I know itāll be a fresh and healthy meal! So delicious and has such a vast menu thereās always something new to mix and try. The fish is always well seasoned and cooked to perfection.
Love Hunky Dory and what they have to offer. I had a delicious meal, The latino fish with kale super salad. Chuck in a pefect potato cake and crunchy calamari ring and I was well satisfied. The only thing that wasn't spot on was some aspects of service such as clearing the table before us and providing drinking water.
Honestly the best Greek salad Iāve ever had- fresh and it has big hit of flavour that isnāt too overpowering. The seafood is well seasoned, especially the scallops which are my personal favourite on the seafood skewer. Totally worth the money and will definitely be back!!
My first time going Hunky Dory with my friend. She was adamant that the port Melbourne branch was better as she ordered the calamari and was a bit chewy but my teriyaki fish was delicious. It was a generous portion and fish wasnāt over cooked. Service was quick and atmosphere was relaxing . Definitely will come again!
Huge portion amount for the price paid, which is surprisingly sometimes hard to find when looking for food. The grilled selection was spot on, fish cooked well and was soft but moist with a nice bite. Can't say much about the salad as it's what you expect, but the rice was seasoned well and tangy which accompanied the fishy flavours. Missus said they had abit too much pesto (not entirely sure if this was it) on her fillets but my African spices were bloody amazing.
I thought Blue Marlin good but this is something else. Donāt get me wrong, I would still go to Blue Marlin with the same love. However, the grilled fish at Hunky Dory is just elevated. The seasoning is so delicious it makes this piece of fish of the day taste even more fresh. Chips are perfectly crispy and remains crispy. Salad is fresh and not too overpowering. I also love the deep fried varieties but I think grilled fish and salad or any combination with salad makes it easier to eat / less oily or become overpowering. I really recommend this place for better fish and chips.
Excellent although point taken away due to having to pay extra for sauce... boooo.
We had salt n pepper calamari and spiced calamari with Greek salads, and a small chips. Filling healthy and fresh. Will be back.
Pretty expensive for fish and chips
Don't come here for your normal fried fish and chips . I think the star of the show are the different grilled fish and seafood.
A good place for a lunch date or catching up with friends
Really good fish and chips. The grilled blue grenadier was cooked to perfection. The chips were chunky and crispy and the Greek salad was fresh. Good amount of food on the plate. The 2 drawbacks were it is very expensive and basa which is a cheap fish imported from Vietnam is used in a number of dishes such as the fish burger and they weren't willing to swap it with another fish so we ordered the blue grenadier grilled pack instead.
new favourite place to eat after gym lots of healthy options and tasty service is always very friendly and the waits arent very long even when they are very busy
Decent money for value. Always go here on a nice sunny day and grab the grilled fish pack which is cooked perfectly. Use to grab the Atlantic Salmon Fillet pack but sometimes they over cook is salmon and ends up dry.
I really like hunky dory! I like that they have a more lean, healthier version of the classic fish n chips. The grilled fish pack is my go-to which comes with chips and salad or brown rice and salad. The fish is always grilled to perfection and super tasty. If Iām being a bit naughty then the salt n pepper calamari and chips is delicious. Serving sizes are huge too. The fried pack for 2 is enough for 4 so itās good value!
Service is fantastic here! I took awhile to decide what to order an the lady who served me was so lovely and helpful with a smile (a smile def goes a long way) š food was quick and tasty, although not as flavoursome as i thought it would be, and a bit pricy once you add a super salad in..either way it's worth a try!
I am a regular to Hunky Dory and I absolutely love the grilled fish with Greek salad. I tried the burger too and that's a delight as well. I have not loved grilled fish so much before this - a must try.
After seeing how popular and busy they were, we decided to come to Hunky Dory one night for dinner. There were no seats left inside (since the restaurant is quite small), so we were seated outside in the sun. We ordered 3 packs - the salt n pepper calamari, grilled salmon, and the port. For one of the side salads, we got it switched to the kale, spinach and broccoli super salad.
All three plates were absolutely delicious! The salt n pepper calamari seems to be very popular here, and I would recommend to try it. The calamari are so big and flavourful. The fried fish is juicy and delicious. The portion sizes are pretty generous as well!
Overall, a really nice meal! Much better than your average weekday fish n chip takeaway!
Came here on a weekday night, was still busy, but found seats straight away. Fresh fish, fresh salad and fresh ingredients that you can see ! The grilled fish was very juicy, and salad was good. Would come again when I get fishy cravings.
My favourite place for fish
Their salt and pepper calamari is incredible
Their chips, brown rice and Greek salad are all so amazing
You can never go wrong with this place

Keen to try something else on the menu as I've been coming here for years, opted for a beef burger and woweee it did not disappoint! This burger would hold its own against other established burger venues around the area. Tr potato cakes on the side were so crunchy, golden and seasoned perfectly. Sometimes the simple things done right are more impressive than complicated experimental menu items
Dined here for the first time tonight and had the chargrilled calamari and salad. The calamari was amazing and the greek salad was fresh and crisp and the chips were golden and hot. The lovely young lady that served us was very accomodating and went out of her way to make sure our 5yo son was comfortable. (I think her name was Aria). We will definitely be back.
A really solid fish and chips, nothing tacky too which is nice! And a genuinely nice place to sit. You pay for this luxury though, meals are expensive.
Went here with my friend and we were super hungry. The food taste great and even better when we were going hungry. That was lunchtime and they were packed with people, it was hard to find a table . The fried pack was ok not bad, what stood out was the grilled pack, very flavoursome. Actually the best grilled pack we ever had. Will return for the grilled pack again
Busy little place but if you can get a table outside it's a nice place to dine. Meals are huge! I often get the calamari with salad and I can never finish it. Nice option for fish and chips but if you want sides that are healthier they are available too.
I know this place / brand has had its fair share of bad publicity of late with the fishgate scandal, but I went recently and really enjoyed my meal and so did my partner. I got a pack with flake, chips, a dimmie and potato cake. The staff looked at me funny because there wasn't a single crumb left on my plate! Everything was tasty and the chips in particular were perfect. Will return.
An op-shop mission 5 stores deep
It was now time for tasty treats
Hunky Dory was the place
Their bettered spuds we'd come to taste
Our minds collectively were blown
The greatest cakes we'd ever known
The cakes were more than Hunky Dory
We couldn't stop, went back for more-y!

Great food & plenty of it. The black rice salad is one of my favorites on the menu. The salt & pepper calamari are also a delicious buy! Also bought the Royale burgers in which the beef was cooked to perfection. The large chips is yummy & enough to feed a family of 6!!!!!!
Very affordable for what you're receiving. Staff were always attending to our needs, nothing more to say.
Hunky dorys always delivers great food! Little pricey but had a great experience. Great outdoor area and staff and lovely. Got the grilled fish and salad, was heaps and couldn't even finish. Def go back again
Had the salt and pepper calamari ! Such a big plate of food, really yummy ! Came out quite quickly too !
Had the seafood salad, everything was cooked to perfection, especially the calamari!! Would come back and dine here again, nice and quick service even though it was really really busy. Do recommend!
Can't really understand why this place has such a low score. The fish is amazing. They sprinkle something over the top of their Grilled fish which Is so addictive I doubt it's legal. The serving sizes are really generous so the price is actually not too bad!! Really really enjoy this place. Salt and pepper calamari are by far the best item on the menu :)
Had always heard good things about Hunky Dory so we decided to check it out. Having heard that it was a chain restaurant we did not have high expectations, but any expectations we did have were well and truly exceeded.
We ordered the Atlantic salmon and the salt and pepper calamari, both accompanied with the Greek salad and chips, which was a decision we did not regret. The salmon was so fresh that I honestly felt like I took the shape of a bear. I closed my eyes and let the salmon take me away. I was riverside, with a fresh water salmon between my big bear teeth, amazing. The salt and pepper calamari was also good.
Fork me, we will be backš“
Hunky Dory
Why does this place have such a low score?! Sure the table situation is a bit ridiculous but I do understand how busy they are. Would definitely get take away next time.
The portions were absolutely massive!! So maybe go halves with someone.
Fish was grilled perfectly and melted in your mouth, salad was seasoned well and didn't scrimp on the good stuff like feta and olives. And chips are just chips but these were chunky and golden brown.
Will definitely go back for take away!
This place is always busy and I can see why. I had the grilled fish pack. The whiting was cooked perfect. The salad is fresh. Its a filling pack.
Fish was a little soft, potato cake was great, salmon was perfect, chips a little too hard but overall it was a great lunch and great quality food. Service was exceptional and gave the place a great vibe and experience. Recommended
10/10 always! Can't go by the grilled seafood salad whether it's at Port Melbourne, South Yarra or Moonee Ponds the Hunky Dory team never lets me down. Yum!
Went for lunch today at Hunky Dory at Moonee Ponds! Ordered the grilled seafood salad and my partner got ' The Latino'. The servings are great considering its price, seafood and everything was cooked to its perfection! As you take the first bite you'll know that the food is fresh and it isnt the typical yucky fish n chip shop that you'll automatically think off... Also ordered 1/2 a dozen of fresh oysters, it wasn't too bad! But still fresh and yummy! Everything is quite clean, surprisingly! The outdoor seating is convenient for smokers and also for the ones that would just like to enjoy the weather and eat their meal! Highly recommend! Customer service isnt that great here, had the girls that served me just glaring for the first 2 minutes of taking my order but the food definitely made up for it !
The very best fish and chips by a country mile. Cannot understand why people expect silver service in their reviews. It's a fish and chips shop people. Sit down and enjoy the meal. The staff do the best they can in the limited space.
The flake is fresh and amazing and the chips are crisp and fluffy in the middle. Salads are fresh and tasty. That's what this place is all about.
I think the prices are really reasonable for the amount and quality.
Love coming here. It feels like healthy fish and chips. If there is such a thing.
Live around the corner from this place and apart from my wife, this place feeds me the most. Grilled fish is amazing, I'm surprised it has bad reviews, it's a fish and chip shop... What do you expect? Your supposed to get your meal and shut up. If your in the area for a big feed make sure you check this place out
I don't understand how Giovanni gives this place such a bad review ?
I read all of his reviews on other places and seems he just likes to give bad reviews wherever he goes .
It's a fish and chip shop not a 5 star restaurant .
Food is excellent and value for your money .
Great to see a hunky dory in the area. This service is a little slow but the place is always packed out. The salads are fresh and full of flavour. The menu has lots to choose from. Had the Prawn skewers and the grilled fish pack. Both were really nice.
Fish is cooked exceptionally well. The Japanese grilled fish was exquisite. The Latino grilled fish was also delicious. Have also tried the calamari which was amazing with lemon. Portion sizes were large. Lovely atmosphere.
Fresh fish & chips that came out quickly! Was busy at 1 on a sunny Monday afternoon but we were able to get a table immediately, and in our time there no one had to wait to be seated. Fish of the day, grilled had great flavour, plentiful chips and salad that comes with it for thirteen fifty. Tried the sweet potato cake - it didn't disappoint. Would definitely pop by again if we're in the area. Left full and satisfied :)
Not sure why ive read bad reviews. Its a fish and chip shop not a 5 star restaurant....
Its good quality seafood and a good menu selection. I had meditaranean platter and was happy š
Da best fishes in the west for your money.
Don't bother with grill'd or nandos, fish is the next chicken. After eating here I don't wanna touch anything else but fish! Tasty tartare on a nice sea shell is a good touch. Best part was the fish of course!
Will be coming here every week.
PS. The ladies here are top notch #tits
5 stars
Yay finally a Hunky Dory close to home.
I have been here a few times and I can't complain. The food comes out quick and everything that I have tried has been delicious. I love their chips and their dipping sauces. My favorite though is the salt and pepper calamari.
Visiting Hunky Dory in Moonee Ponds was absolutely fantastic. The flake was cooked to perfection, the chips were very very tasty I thought the customer service was really good. Had no problems whatsoever with Hunky Dory and I will definitely visit again soon
The flake was as good as i have had before, ditto the chips. However the calamari was very rubberish and really did not hit the spot. All in all not a bad experiance
Really love the food here! The quality is pretty good, and the portions are very decent for the price point! Theyāre always super busy, and they have a nice outdoor seating area which is great in the summer!
We got The Bay fried pack which was really yummy and good size for sharing. The flake was super crispy and fresh. Added on an extra fried blue grenadier which was just as good! Their potato cakes are yummy too, worth a try!
A highlight for me was the Salt n Pepper Fried Calamari - a must order! It comes with a sweet chilli mayo which tastes a lot better than the aioli in my opinion. Definitely add some sweet potato chips on the side - theyāre so good, even better than regular chips!
We also got the grilled seafood & salad (we chose coleslaw) and whilst it had good flavour, I think I prefer the fried food here. Would give the coleslaw a miss!
Great for fresh grilled seafood.
Most sets come with fries or rice and salad but I asked to swap the fries or rice with more salad, which the waitress happily obliged. Perfect service š
Food is delicious. When delivered the fish and chips were cold and soggy. Hunky Dory please put the food in an aluminium foil before the cardboard box atleast in winter.
Really friendly and welcoming service from the staff here when dining in. We had a fried and grilled pack and both were well presented and tasted fresh and not too greasy.
If its fresh fish you Crave then look no further as Hunky Dory Fish & Chips is the place to go to .
They offer a variety of Fish and seafood served with a broad range of Salads, Rice's and of Course freshly fried Chips.
The service is very friendly and fast.
Fish and chips are very good (I tried grilled fish). Chips are hot and crispy. Good portion of coleslaw as wel. Worth a try.
Best fish and chips around. Plenty of choices available. Food came out hot and fresh. Not oily at all. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great place to get lunch with the kids! Great value for money.
