Food was absolutely delicious, the portions were huge so we couldn’t finish! I can’t wait to come back for a delicious meal. Only let down was the customer service staff seemed quite disinterested

Hunky Dory is the perfect place for a large and reasonably priced fish and chip meal. The fish and chips were beautifully crispy and perfectly cooked and the salad was really fresh. Serving sizes are huge and the ambience was really lovely. Highly recommend!
Went here before seeing Joan Jett at the Corner Hotel. This is one of the best fish and chip shops I've been to. Me and my friend got "The Bay" and the Fish, Chips, Potato Cake and Calamari Rings were crisp to perfection, The service was also fast and efficient. Thank you, I will definitely come back.
I’m not a big fan of fish and chips but this place has got me on my toes! The atmosphere was great, the food was great, the service was great and everything was just great overall. Would definitely come here again!
Never let's you down. Dina who runs the show is a great host, consistently great fish and ships, with efficient, happy staff. Hunky Pack perfect for p e!
I am never let down when I visit Hunky Dory.
There are so many great options on the menu and the food is fresh and filling.
I recently tried the Grilled Seafood & Salad and loved it. This meal includes grilled fish (of your choosing), calamari and prawns with a salad of your choice (I went for the Greek salad). I thought this was great as you get three types of seafood with a lovely salad.
The sweet potato wedges are awesome - crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
I would highly recommend visiting Hunky Dory.
Got a pack with a ....work friend....we all know how that will end after we finish working there. Anyway....food was good. We had takeaway but I went to pick it up. Good service, made fresh, restaurant had a nice atmosphere and doesnt have that 'Cheap Takeaway Look'.
Oh and Chips were crispy and hot. Potato cake was a good size. Nice Tartare sauce and a fresh lemon.
Will return to to eat in and try one of their burgers
Hunky Dory elevates the typical fish ‘n’ chips shop. We ate here before the State of Origin game at the ‘G’. The place was buzzing with diners. Given you order from the counter, service of food was pretty quick and staff were friendly and attentive to diners. The calamari was tender and the fish (The Hunky Dory) was fresh. Overall we had a nice feed before the game. 😎👍🏼
Love Hunky Dory for a quick healthy meal after work during the week! Highly recommend the seafood salad and the sweet potato fries Food is consistently good! Staff are friendly.
Great service, especially considering you order from the counter. Lovely calamari and decent chips! Would come back for fancy fish and chips

Disclaimer: I got my food delivered from here, having had late night fish and chip cravings so I can’t tell you much about the interior, atmosphere of the restaurant, the service and all that jazz.
I however had the wonderful opportunity of tasting their food. I wasn’t expecting much, I was just looking for some good grease but what I got exceeded my expectations.
I ordered the fish and chip pack for 2, the panko fish burger and the grilled fish wrap. I thoroughly enjoyed all dishes.
With all the dishes you get a really good amount of food: the fish and chip pack is more than sufficient for two people, one grilled fish wrap will be a sufficient meal and the burger was so big and I didn’t even end up finishing all dishes between three people.
All dishes are delicious. I cannot fault the flavour and texture of any:
-The fish and chip pack very well seasoned and so perfectly crispy. The fish was so fresh and there was a perfect balance between the batter coating and the fish. It wasn’t like your typical type of fish. It was meaty, wholesome, flaky yet still succulent.
-The burger had a massive piece of fish. Usually I would complain about not getting enough meaty substance in my burger, but there was a generous portion of meat in this one. All the components so well balanced and made to perfection.
-The fish wrap was my favourite thing I ordered. I have one perfect word for it: YUM exclamation mark. Again, good balance of ingredients which were all made to perfection. Yum yum yum the coleslaw was to die for. I wish I had a whole tub of it I could just eat. The coleslaw had some herb that just drew out all the flavours so wonderfully. I would get to the bottom of most wraps and have to eat a lot of breading with tiny amounts of other ingredients but with this wrap, there was still copious amounts of fish, slaw and all that good good.
The price is alright, it’s not a hefty amount that you’re forking out but it is more than you’d expect to pay for fish and chips. It really is a lot easier to go to your local fish and chiperie that isn’t as gourmet and pay a lot less. In my opinion, it was worth the extra bucks though. I’m very happy I came across this place and will definitely come back with friends. This place has truly blessed my tastebuds.
Good service and always greated with a smile. Dropped by for a quick lunch and it was tasty. The salads are great to enjoy with your fish or calamari.
LIT!: I love finding a healthier option whilst going out and hunky dory is my normal go except today. No regrets. I tried the potato cake which was so crispy on the outside. The grilled fish was flavourful and you can add as milt as as you'd like to your taste.
NOT SO LIT: n/a
Thanks for having us
Post gym ritual we picked up some fish each takeaway as well as a serve of salad and calamari to share. Fresh, tasty and healthy makes it an absolute winner in my book even though it is on the expensive side for fish and chips. Yesterday’s salmon piece was huge which was a plus after training
A decent place to have fish and chips. Though on the last occassion I tried their grilled fish burger and chips instead. The fish were reasonably good but the rest of the burger was just okay. The chips were chunky and short-ish, served in decent amount. They were good though not great. All and all, I think I'll stick to their fish and chips next time.
Came across this place, the food was fresh and delicious. The fish and chips tasted some what healthy and it was even better because we got to eat it under the sun 👌
This was the bommmbbbbbbbb!!! Get the coupled up and you and someone else! Really delicious and fresh food. The chips were crunchy, the fish was flaky AF and the sauces were dayummm good
Wandered around Richmond with two friends before the ariana grande concert and we decided on this place. I ordered the grilled fish of the day pack and thought the food was quite delicious and filling. My friends were also quite happy with their purchase, except one of my friends had to wait a while for her potato cake due to some miscommunications about her order. Also, it was a bit dissappointing there was no family pack for us to all share. However, still a good experience aside from the minor hiccup.
I had the most amazing experience here! Pleasantly welcomed by Dina, the store manager, who made my family's night out one to remember. The staff here are wonderful and attentive, Dina was great making sure we got a table and made sure everything was wonderful! Even gave us her favourite sauce on the house and we loved it! Definitely coming back and definitely telling all my friends and family to go to hunky dory in Richmond!
Keep up the brilliant work Dina and staff,
You're all fantastic!!
Love, love, LOVE Hunky Dory! I usually eat here once a week. My go to is the grilled calamari with kale/broccoli/spinach salad and sweet potato wedges. Great feed to share!

Best place for fish and chips. My all time favorites are HD grilled burger, Calamari Fish and Chips. Very healthy and delicious sea food. This place has good outdoor seating. Enjoying food under the sun is fun and refreshing.
May favourite place for fish and chips. I love the grilled seafood here with some garden salad, delicious and nutritious. The price is also very reasonable.
Came here with a friend and we ordered the pack for two. There was two fried dim sim, two calamari rings, two fish, chips and two potato cakes. The fried calamari were really fresh as well as the fish. Definitely worth the price for the amount of food you get.
Food was yum! Had the grilled seafood and fries. The grilled calamari was a tad bit over cooked but the flavours of everything was spot on. Fries were crispy. Food took a while to get to my table.
Friendly staff. Food is fresh and can get a healthy option if you want. Thoroughly enjoy the calamari (both grilled and fried). Bit small so if you want a table get there early!
Stock standard as the other Hunky's around -good place for fish + salad + chips/rice that are good value. The calamari are always on my list of things to eat as are the fish options that come with a variety of sauces.

Very happy with the quality of food - always tasty and reasonably warm. Disappointed that it doesn't do UberEats anymore - it was our weekly tradition!!
A decent feed, healthy, fresh and relatively affordable. A regular lunch time spot and dinner hang out. Personal favourite is the grilled Salmon pack with brown rice and greek salad. Simple and for around 20 bux.
Hunky Dory is by far my favourite fish and chip shop in Melbourne. The food is always so fresh and unlike most fish and chip shops; Hunky Dory is a nice pleasant place to dine in. The stores are well decorated and styled and always clean. Staff are friendly too. Have never had a bad experience.
We've always love the grilled fish from hunky dory, but we've never been to the Richmond branch until today. Nice day to be seated outside lunching alfresco style. Ordered the Italian grilled fish with chips and salad. Salad was fresh and fish was grilled till nice and soft. Fish was a tad saltier than the other branches, but still yummy. Service was good too. Would recommend.
Was going back and forth on getting a burg or just getting some fish and chips. I guess my first burger of the year just had to wait.
On order: a coupled up and salt & pepper calamari with the broccoli, kale, and spinach salad.
The chips were average. I've had better chips before but that's just how chip shops are. The seafood however was excellent. The calamari was succulent & soft and the fish was well battered. The dim sims were ok, same could be said with the salad.
In a way it was a bit of a hit or miss with some of the menu items, I might come back just to re-rate and try some of their other menu items but I have had a better fish-n-chip experience.
Usually frequent the Highett store, but have been to several other hunky dory restaurants.. so have gotten pretty used to what can be expected from the meals, but today my food was a little more oily and the batter was doughier than usual. But the service is friendly, and food arrives pretty quick.
Great option for a chilled, no fuss yet delicious dinner. Relaxed environment where the meals are beyond filling and incredibly tasty. I ordered the char grilled Calamari with the kale, spinach and broccoli salad. I also added the sweet chilli sauce at the last minute. The calamari was a huge serving and was perfectly cooked-not rubbery in the slightest. I also loved the fresh and healthy salad and the sweet chilli sauce complimented the calamari brilliantly. One of the best food chain options around by far! So yum!
Hunk Dory is a great example of a modern fish and chippery. There are a few Hunky Dory branches around these days but the Swan Street store is our local. It originated with one store in 2004 but the owner Greg Robotis’ family have been catching and cooking fish for generations, way back to Greece in 1924.
Service was quick and the food was massive and delicious. $22 for a glass of wine and dinner. I asked for Greek salad and they gave me garden. When I flagged it with the staff they quickly gave me a huge additional plate of Greek salad for free.
Amazing calamari with chips and salad. Huge servings as well so make sure you go in with an empty stomach. Great little spot to duck in for some fish and chips.
Had the couples pack, 2 flake, 2 calamari, 2 dim sims, 2 potato cake and sauce with a mountain of chips. $25. My recommendation get the grilled fish, seasoned nicely. A typical fish and chips. Nice staff!
My favourite fish and chip used to be fish market on bridge rd. Buy after having hunky dory I am now in love with their fried flake. The batter is perfect not too thick out oily.
We got takeaway here. Fish and chips were good. Food was ready by the time we drove there which only a 5 minute drive. Will be back if we ever have a craving for fish and chips again.
One of the best fish and chips places in Melbourne. Taste-wise, this is the second best FnC place we've ever tried (the best one is in Williamstown). On our visit we tried most items on the menu except the burger and dimsim, and all were great. Chips were crunchy and light. The seafood was fresh and not oily at all with prawns and calamari being our favorite. Service was great as staffs were very attentive. The shop was big and clean as well.
Tastes as good as any other hunky dory although the portion sizes here a considerably smaller then the other hunky dory places I've been too. Specifically the salt and pepper calamari
Excellent customer service and value for money fresh fish and chips. Battered fish was ok, but the grilled seafood skewer and fried calamari was tasty. The waiter was very helpful and friendly and they allowed me to swap potato cake to dim sum or chips to salad. Very flexible menu, and i love the cozy ambience too.
Absolutely love this place and it's food! Been here many many times before and always come back every few weeks or so to satisfy my fish and chips cravings. Their meals always taste great, service is good, and prices are on point with what you are receiving. This place is very popular, so expect a little delay in peak periods, but I have found that even so, I still get my food in a reasonable time at a high quality.
Customer service very very good - they make you feel welcome. Fish was well cooked with generous helpings of tartare sauce and thousand island sauce. A bit too noisy outside though with music blasting out.
First trip to the Hunky Dory Richmond store. Love everything about the HD team and Richmond is no exception. Delicious, crispy potato cakes, sweet potato fries, fish, salads, the whole shebang. Get there soon and try the amazingness.
The burger is definitely on my 'to try' list after the recommendation from I Eat Melbourne.
probs the best fish and chips in town. fresh fish and chips seem to be hard to find these days but HD's do it well! good job guys! will be back
Always very consist having been here 20+ times! Highly recommend. Food is always really good! Really tasty grilled flake, lamb skewers very tasty and great calamari! Burgers are a bit hit and miss, they used to be good but have changed a bit (and they don't even have any bacon you can add as an extra) so I'd give them a miss. If you fee like a burger go elsewhere, but for everything else perfect!
Posted by Chasing a Plate in Richmond on 01/02/2016. Chasing a Plate were invited to dine as guests of Hunky Dory and House of Mouse. It’s 33 degrees, the cricket is on and everyone has decided it’s fish and chip Sunday. Hunky Dory is packed. There’s a wait for a table and the phone is ringing off the hook for takeaway orders. We arrive before the rush and manage to nab a table outside after ordering and paying at the counter. The fish of the day is dory and salads include slaw, a Greek salad and a broccoli and miso number.
Been here many times. Probably the best casual fish and chips in Richmond (besides Richmond Oyster but thats not what I class as casual). Service is always quick and friendly and orders come out pretty quick too, even when at capacity.
Food is always fresh and cooked well.
Great quick lunch time stop. Staff efficent and always fresh food. Between Hunky Dory and Fonda Mexican up the road I have my lunches covered!!
Hunky Dory is a boutique chain of fish and chip shops that are consistently packed with a broad clientele. The Richmond branch is still relatively new, but is certainly well established. On previous occasions we’ve taken away. Though given the comfortable dining space, both inside and out, there has always been a temptation to enjoy a meal here to get that added freshness that you miss out on with takeaway.
Very friendly staff, with your tradition fish and chip store menu, but with a modernised and very open feel within the restaurant. Traditional fish and chip packs very tasty and fresh, if not a little too battered. But the grilled fish a healthier alternative. And not too expensive for a lunch meal ($8-$20)
The grilled fish pack is delicious! I enjoy it so much I can't seem to get myself to try anything else. Hunky's Richmond is always so consistent with their meals as well, I always like to get the brown rice with my pack and I just love that it doesn't have that powdery taste to it like so many brown rices do and the Greek salad is great! Can't stand it when a restaurant doesn't put the right herbs or ingredients in. I believe their food is well priced for what you get and the staff are also very friendly. I like that it isn't your typical fish and chip take away. When I've been I will always sit in and eat, usually just an eat and run but the restaurant itself has a nice vibe to it. Looking forward to my next meal there!
Love this place!!! I've bee.... Love this place!!!
I've been coming here before the Victory games since it opened and it never disappoints. I normally get the seafood salad or the grilled salmon but last time I got the burger with the lot. Amazing!! Keep up the good work guys!
Popped in her for a nice late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were super nice and attentively checking up on us.
Food was simple but good quality. The fish I had was very well cooked. Overall good.
Welcome Hunkys to Richmond!. I'm a local and I've been to Hunkys three times since it opened about a month ago. Massive thumbs up! Whoever is the brains trust behind single handedly transforming traditionally unhealthy fish and chips into a healthy meal needs to be commended. I always get the grilled dory with brown rice and the quinoa salad and it's nothing short of A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I've always found the staff super friendly and I think the design of this shop is so much cooler than the other Hunkys shops. It's got my vote!
Love Hunkys. Hands down the best fish in Melbourne!! We love that they have healthy alternatives and delish potato cakes when we are feeling a bit naughty. I wish there were more shops around Melbourne .
I was in after the Boxing Day test. Despite it being pretty busy (word has obviously got around how good it is here) the staff were really great and friendly. I had the chargrilled calamari which was phenomenal-really big serves. Was great to have a beer with it as well. Will definitely be back
Best fish and chips I've had in ages!!! Had the grilled Mexican fish with quinoa salad which was delicious.
Fresh, delicious seafood - generous serving sizes too! Great to have some fresh salads to accompany the fish too - definitely a new and improved fish and chips experience. Lovely staff, great vibe!
Food hit the spot, service at lunch time on Monday 18 July was excellent - the waitress recommended we get small chips rather than medium and she was right.
This place is really good. You can have seafood or whatever you want, but this time I avoided seafood and had a burger, chips and a sugar free coke. The service was great, the staff were great, I've eaten here before and I'll eat here again.
Enjoyed our grilled seafood, chips and salad.
Fresh grilled barramundi was so good.
We had friendly and helpful service.
Hunky Dory makes the BEST takeaway fish & chips!!!
Katie was an absolute delight to deal with, I would definitely recommend her for ANY customer service or hospitality position.
Thanks so much Katie!!! 😁
Good service. Food came out quick. Cooked well, but fish portions were a bit small.
Really impressed by how good the fish and chips were here. Great value, large serving and really tasty. The battered fish didn't taste too oily, chips had the right amount of salt and crunch to it and calamari rings had the perfect amount of batter. Looking forward to coming back to try the other items on the menu.
I've never had a bad experience with Hunky Dory, and Richmond was no disappointment either. Great food and value for money. Excellent customer service. Would recommend
This is the best fish and chip shop in Richmond!! Huge servings, super fresh fish and tasty salads. Always busy, as they are really good. Food isn’t greasy, have never been disappointed. Good amount of dining tables inside, which are usually full. Nice place also for outdoor casual street dining. Highly recommended.🐟
