Melbourne Food Spotter
+4
Decided to come here for lunch. Staff was friendly. Very delicious and tasty food, great for family and friends catchup or special occasions. If your after fresh seafood this is the place to go.
Had the Mud Crab Udon soup and it was amazing! The soup is a bit oily but very flavoursome. Haven't tried anything else on the menu so can't comment on the other dishes
Love the banh canh cua (crab noodles soup) here!! This is the place I go when I'm craving it. XO pipies are good here too 😊👍🏻 ...........
Excellent food at very reasonable prices. We followed the chefs here from their old employers after they left there; that is how much we love these guys cooking! They are always happy to make something not on the menu for us. Fantastic friendly service.
We had takeawy twice while we were in Melbourne.
First time we ordered the Beef & Chinese Broccoli with rice noodles & Sweet &Sour Pork with rice - Both dishes were to tasty and fresh. Would love to eat them again.
On our second take out we ordered Salt and Chilli calamari and Beef stirfry with vegetables and cashew nuts. The calamari was super crunchy and lacked salt and chilli. We added lemon at home and it made it sing. The Beef stirfy was average, but lacked the cashew nuts.
Overall, both experinces were nice. Would go back for a quick meal. The prices were very reasonable.
Good place to visit if you're willing to try something new. Rice, soup, Pho, beef with black beans, chicken with lemongrass are cooked fresh and great potions. Can get your stomach filled without hurting the wallet, much.
The menu is huge so you need to be careful what to order. If you order the right thing, then the food is pretty good. God help you if you choose poorly. I don't like the atmosphere but my expectations aren't that high either.
Had lunch here today. Food was fantastic as was the service. We had Fried Dumpling x 2, Sesame Prawns x 2, Pork/Prawn Spring Rolls, Prawn Dumpling Soup, Seafood Fried Rice Noodle, XO Beef Fried Rice and Roast Pork Rice. All this along with 1 coke and 3 corkages only came to a total of $93.00. Excellent value for 5 people. From the moment we walked in to when we left, we were made to feel most welcome. We will definitely be going back for more. Well done VIP Kitchens!
...I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was largely empty though it was dinner on a Wednesday night, but we didn’t let that deter us. There were a fair few different dishes we could choose on the menu, and it wasn’t restricted which was nice. The entrée we chose was the Pi-Pi in XO Sauce (usually $14.0) which was delicious. The sauce was where the action was at, but I was so surprised at how many pipis were in the dish! They didn’t skimp at all and it was a very filling dish – nice and spicy and full of flavour. I enjoyed eating the pipis in sauce with the extra rice I ordered ($2.0) I wanted to try the Vermicelli with Grilled Pork ($10.5) and I was rewarded with a really fresh, lovely dish. The Grilled pork was perfectly done; the outer had lots of flavour and was well marinated and cooked. The vermicelli was plentiful and the sweet and spicy salad dressing brought the flavours to the front. I lo
Loved the seafood here. Thank you very much for an amazing dinner. We were in Springvale visiting friends and family and thought we'd all go out for some Asian seafood cuisine.
Very fresh crabs and lobsters -- willing to get my hands dirty for some great crustaceans! Your pipis were tasty too -- but you definitely need the chinese doughnuts to go with it for dipping! great idea!
Banana fritters go down a treat too!
Thank you!!
We came here a few times and this is the first time that we tried their steamed fish and scallops fried with vegetables.
The steamed fish (barramundi) tasted very good - the flesh was soft and smooth and steamed to perfection.
The scallops with vegetables had a generous amount of scallops and also tasted fine although the vegetables were a bit overcooked.
The place was not crowded and in the current climate, I would prefer it this way.
I would recommend this place if you want a meal on the south side of Springvale.
The restaurant is always chosen for the company dinner. The location is excellent with lots of parking behind the restaurant. Have a separate private area away from others, perfect for company or family dinners.
Delicious food. The staff are very nice and helpful. The food is served quickly. A restaurant with good value for money.
It's true... their banh canh cua is sooooo tasty with decent chunks of crab portions.
Singapore noodles have great smoky taste, missing a bit of curry flavour but still so delicious.
11/10.
Duck on Rice and crispy pork we great super fast service and free tea.
Our regular food shop.. the crab wasn't worth the money and their duck isn't always so nice for me, and when I ask for Chinese broccoli i get a mixed vegetable but hey they still get my 5 stars cause the food quality is always good and they are always friendly and helpful. They can make their 🌶 oil hotter though..😉
It was our first time here. Known for their Banh Canh Cua. This bowl was $25 for 1/4 of a crab. It was delicious. I would travel from the west to the east for this. Taste like how it should.
Great restaurant for both small and large groups as they have a little private area away from everyone else. Been here on a lot of occasions and even for lunch and take away a. Food is delicious, however I did find the mangolion beef a little salty, Peking sauce ribs, special fried rice the kids loved and soft shell crabs are delicious!
The staffs are great and helpful. I wish they would put a sign saying slippery floor though, as the last time we were there the floor was extremely slippery.
Authentic Vietnamese and Chinese food. Try the crab noodle soup!
