"Extre tasty. Good amount of chicken"
"I’ve tried many Sri Lankan restaurants around Melbourne, but Chum Chum’s is by far the best one I’ve come across. The food is consistently delicious, authentic, and full of flavour. Every dish tastes fresh and perfectly prepared, and you can really feel the home style Sri Lankan touch in their cooking. What I love most is the consistency and quality. I buy food from here almost every day, and they never disappoint. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always friendly. If you’re looking for genuine Sri Lankan food in Melbourne, I highly recommend Chum Chum’s. It’s definitely my go-to place and one of the best spots for Sri Lankan cuisine in the city."

"Beautiful food and well packed, generous portion, vegetarian options are yummy as is non Veg."
"It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Got a Non-Vegetarian Thali, the roti was ok but nothing special. The two curries were ok, a decent portion but not a lot of meat in each - 2 or 3 chunks each - which isn't terrible. Maybe felt like a smaller amount because the chunks were large. The meat was quite good, lamb and beef - both cooked well. But the curry sauce was too rich. Not particularly spicy either. The vindaloo tasted more like tomato sauce than I've ever had before in a curry. So the taste of the curry sauce let the whole meal down. Probably wouldn't order again, but it's a reasonable price for what it is."

"Love the food here. It always tastes great, has good portion sizes, and is well priced"
"I ordered the vegetarian dumplings and Sally's very special fried rice (sans prawn) for $40 (before other fees). What I received, in my opinion, was not worth the price. The dumplings were small, and the portion of fried rice for $25 was meagre. I reasoned upon ordering that perhaps the price was due to generous servings, but was left disappointed. ...However I can confidently say that both the dumplings and fried rice were a delight to consume. There are so many various ways to fill a vegetable dumpling, and I found Sally's to be really enjoyable. The fried rice was full of flavour and a wonderful balance of ingredients (not 70% rice). The sole drawback in regards to the food's flavour — one of the dumplings had an uncomfortable amount of Star Anise. Other than that, the food was pretty dang good."

"ORDER FROM PINGS THIS IS NOT A DRILL Pings is the best. Their Braised Pork Belly On Rice is so soft and seasoned so beautiful that your pants WILL slide off of you without knowledge. The Noodles with Pork Sauce (Dried) sauce is anything BUT dry. It is chunky, thick and so gorgeous that you will be near tempted to propose. And the cucumber is the best compliment to it, as are the light, thick wheat noodles. Their Pan-Fried Pork Dumpling (15 Pieces) are juicy and filling, never order less than 10 or you will be disappointed as your inner animal will in fact crave at least 12-18 of them, and that's without soy sauce. Their Ma-po Togu is my favourite dish, one of the best things that have touched my tongue. I would kill hundreds for it, I would pay millions to taste it (but I am comfortable with its current price.) I will NEVER shut up about how good Ping's is, I tell people I'm not even talking to about Pings, I have even used google translate to communicate to someone just how good this place is. And please, please trust me when I tell you I am a fat lady that loves her food and has eaten lots of food at lots of places and Ping's is my second favourite Asian restaurant and my favourite Chinese style/orientated place EVER.
