Calcapone I’ve just finished a large Vegetarian traditional pizza, even though I’m not a real fan of thin pizza but I asked for extra Mozzarella cheese which made up for the thinness. It was very tasty fresh ingredients. Now eating a cheese garlic pizza small cheese. Will definitely be going back.

Amilliah I had a wonderful time at Khao Sao Lane in Moonee Ponds and our dinner there was absolutely hit. We ordered the soft shell crab in tamarind sauce and it was delicious, the crab was crispy and the tamarind sauce added a tangy sweet kick that worked beautifully with the crab’s texture. We also tried the ka pao gai sub (Thai style basil chicken) and it was bold, fragrant and full of flavour, exactly the kind of comfort food you crave when you want something satisfying yet aromatic. The portion sizes were generous, so sharing between a couple of people felt totally worth it. The vibe was relaxed and friendly, great for nights out with friends or a casual dinner. Overall the meal felt like a proper Thai feast: tasty dishes, good balance between flavours, and a welcoming spot to enjoy it all. If you’re after great Thai food in Moonee Ponds where dishes hit the mark on flavour and value, Khao Sao Lane is absolutely a 5 star find in my book.

L M Brilliant place to go to with an ultra mexican vibe. An amazing woman singing her beautiful voice, fantastic drinks, beautifully presented, well portioned food. A must go to place for a fun evening. The service from all the staff was seamless and all of them had wonderful smiles on their faces. Advance booking highly recommended. Outdoor seating available Will definitely be going there again.

Bishnumaya Panthi I visited this place recently and ordered the rump steak meal, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The steak was cooked exactly how I wanted juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. You could really taste the quality of the meat. The sides were fresh, seasoned beautifully, and complemented the dish so well. The service was equally impressive everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about the experience. The place has such a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. It’s rare to find a spot where both the food and the service are consistently this good. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. If you’re around Moonee Ponds, this is a must-visit for a proper, satisfying meal!

Karen Got the sushi platter for 2, take away on a Saturday night, took them 40 minutes to make as it was busy. The freshest and most delicious sushi around town, really enjoyed the salmon, it was creamy and soft in texture. No squishy bits, the fish parted with the rice at once when I bit down. Loved the presentation! The inside of the restaurant looked lovely as well. Will be back again!

Little apple Went here for dinner and I absolutely loved their jellyfish salad! This was actually my first time trying jellyfish, and surprisingly, it was amazing. The staff was super helpful and nice, helping us to move to bigger table since We ordered lots of food . The katsu was delicious — crispy chicken with a thick, rich curry sauce. The spicy octopus was also fantastic, and the cooked prawns were perfectly done. Last but not least, we had the sukiyaki hotpot. We ordered extra beef, which went really well with the soup. The broth had a slightly sweet but refreshing taste. Definitely worth a try!

Elif - Melbourne Food Tales Il Caminetto is easily one of the best Italian spots I’ve tried in Melbourne. The pizza was outstanding, the dough was so smooth and light, honestly unlike anything I’ve had before. You can taste the quality straight away. We had the Vegetariana, Ligure pizza with prawns and TAGLIATELLA FRESCA ITALIANA pasta and everything were made fresh, and incredible flavouful. Everything felt authentic and properly made, not rushed or overloaded. The pasta was just as good, and the tiramisu was the perfect classic finish. Great food, great portions, and a welcoming atmosphere and they really took care of our dietary needs, If you’re after real Italian done right, this place absolutely delivers. Highly recommend.

Jenny Anderson Hands down the best Korean BBQ fix in the northwest! The wagyu and marinated pork belly were thick and perfect, seafood pancake was crispy, and that grapefruit soda hit the spot. Love the spacious vibe, comfy sofas, and the little bar for Korean cocktails. Super convenient location near Footscray and Essendon too. Already craving it again!highly recommended!

Raph S Nice ramen. Had the black truffle and garlic ramen. Great rich meaty broth. Nice atmosphere for a catchup as well. The only down side is the parco highball. Could be better. I don’t actually know what it taste off except strong alcohol.
