Order Food in ormond

Having read about this very popular Malaysian restaurant, we had it on our list to visit—and we finally made it there! We were warmly welcomed by the man himself, Danny, a charming and lovely man who made the experience even more enjoyable. The food definitely lived up to the hype and will definitely be back!

Came down here on a Saturday evening for dinner and they were already half packed. The first thing you notice is the place is very rudimentary, floor tiles is slightly greasy sticky and I knew it straight away the food was going to be good and authentic. The service is efficient and on point, got the menu and water as we sat down. Ordered the XLB, Xiao long bao, Chinese sausage fried rice, spring onion pancake and pan fried pork dumplings. The food came out very quickly and it was definitely cooked to order as the buzz from kitchen rang out for each order. Spring onion pancakes were had a crunchy crust, the centre was chewy and packed plenty of savoury flavour, just like how I had it in China. The fried rice was cooked in a wok with nice amount of oil to keep the rice seperate and packed plenty of wok hei (breath of the wok). XLB was small in size but well portioned for a mouth explosion with the hot soup inside as you one biter. This is the real experience of XLB. The fried pork dumpling is definitely made in store during the day over at one of the dining tables and cooked to order. The flavours were spot on and the bottom of the dumpling is crispy. All in all we finished our food and most impressive is their chilli oil on the table is house made, the umami flavours and the mix of heat is perfect, not too spicy and enhances every dish ever so slightly.

One of the best authentic and cheap eat places in Clayton. This is an institution and I have been going for over 20years. The food is delicious and homemade style, portion sizes are great. Only issue would be dinning space small so make sure you have a booking or get take away. Food comes out fast and it’s mouth watering.

Reasonable price with good food. Love their pork rice noodle and pork rice

Average pho. Ordered number 2, chicken and beef- soup fine taste. Beef was a bit chewy, and chicken was fine. Average. Ordered beef and tendon. Soup fine. Beef again chewy. Tendons were 50% soft and nice and 50% tough and not cooked. The spring rolls, two for $7 were also dense to eat. Like eating a boiled sweet, they were crispy but maybe how they fried it was hard to eat. Average. Better options in Clayton and Springvale.
