"“Malaysian style Barramundi “ is our favorite,a bit spicy but so delicious. You can share it for a few people."

"Good food overall! Would definitely come again in a group to share dishes. The highlight was the “Malaysian style fish” - no fishy smell, cooked well, and the sauce was nice and spicy. Pretty big too, so good for sharing. Sweet and sour pork was also great! Not like many other places that drown it in a starchy mess. Crispy too. The kailan and garlic was good too. Just wish the service were a bit… nicer but oh well, not the worst"

"We had the beef rendang, curry fish head, Milo, and watermelon juice and everything was delicious! The curry fish head is definitely a standout; rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. It’s not my first time here, and I can confidently say the food quality has remained consistent with every visit. While the staff didn’t seem as friendly the second time around, the food more than makes up for it. Still very much worth the visit!"

"This is a MustTry Malaysian in Melbourne for sure guys! This place is my hidden gem! insane wok hei, huge portions, and addictive iced drinks! Loved the Salted Fish Vermicelli which is smoky perfection, Silky Egg Dual Noodle dish is a texture heaven which is my favourite dish, and Roast Pork with Chinese broccoli is a nice combination of crispy roast pork and fresh green vegetable. Iced milk tea? Rich and smooth. Vintage vibe and fantastic food in this place, run before it blows up guys!"

"Always enjoy going here because the food and drinks are delicious, a lot of variety, and they play awesome chinese songs. The portion of food is also very generous. However the CKT today felt a bit bland,and the prawn lacked some flavour too. Maybe they added a bit less of the sauce and less wok hei overall. Maybe just a bad day so hopefully next time it's much better! The kopi was really good still. Still giving it a 4 based on past visits for over 3 years"

"Food was delicious and we enjoyed all our dishes. Full of flavour. We had Gravy hor fun noodles, clams and salt and pepper squid. We had to wait approx. 15 mins for a table. It was very busy. Service was friendly and food came out quick."

"A true no-fuss Malaysian gem that never disappoints. If you’re craving authentic Malaysian flavours, this place absolutely hits the spot every single time. The dishes come out fast, piping hot, and full of the bold, comforting flavours. Our absolute favourite here is the wat tan yin yong — perfectly seasoned, and just the right balance of wok hei and richness. It’s the dish we keep coming back for, and it never fails to satisfy."
