"The hash browns were hand made from fresh potatoes, perfectly cooked. I chose extra bacon but it didn't need it. It was hard too finish. & fir the price more affordable then Macca's. "
"Absolutely sensational food every single time and this time was no exception. The scrambled egg and bacon croissant was absolutely on point and not a lot of people get the cooking of bacon right but these guys nail it every time.
My coffee was absolutely A+ plus plus and everything was delivered on time hot and fresh."

"living in melbourne,theres almost 2 or 3 banh mi spots in every second suburb.
i thought i had tried them all.
i thought i found the best in Footscray.
Then,i ordered from here.
Hands down,no doubt the best Banh mi in west melbourne,if not,Melbourne.
The rolls were just out of the oven,soft and delicious,the fillings fresh and tasty,not stingy at all on servings size.
if you are buying your Banh Mi from anywhere else,you are wasting your time and money,trust me.
Thanks guys,im converted,im only ever getting my Banh Mi from you from now on"
"Since the "lemongrass beef" is not on the menu, I left a note requesting to change it, and they did! with added charge of course but, this is worthy to call one of the best banh mi I've ever had, all the ingredients are fresh, and the portion is balanced generously. I'm definitely gonna remember these flavours forever in my life."

"Most people will be happy with the Teriyaki Salmon Benton. For me, I wouldn't have minded if the salmon piece was a bit thicker. The restaurant has made effort to provide value with 3 gyozas, lots of sauce with the salmon, about 6 edamame, pickles, about 6 slices of pickled lotus. The gyozas were meaty and tasted good. Rice is short grain. Perhaps, some pickled ginger would have been nice with the salmon."
"not that great, i had way better ramen in the cbd.
and much lower price too.
takoyaki were just warm but not crispy, skimping on the bonito flakes.
ramen broth was just a salty mouthwash lacking depth or flavor.
if u want to try real ramen go musashi in cbd"
