OPPEN - Food VIC

Yuni Choi A lovely spot with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely friendly service. The menu focuses on contempory Thai cuisine, and everything we tried was excellent. We started with BBQ pork bao and fish cake, followed by barramundi salad and beef salad. Each dish was fresh and full of flavour. The standout for me was the barramundi salad. The lightly battered barramundi paired beautifully with the vibrant Thai flavoured salad, making it especially enjoyable on a warm summer evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for modern Thai food done really well in a relaxed setting!

Sean Han I recently visited this restaurant and was really impressed. The head chef has over 20 years of experience, including time at a Lucas Group restaurant, and it really shows in the quality of the food. All the sauces are house made, which adds a special touch to the dishes. The Japanese fried chicken ($12) was crispy and full of flavour, a great way to start the meal. The salmon crispy rice sushi ($12) and Hokkaido scallop crispy rice sushi ($14) were both fantastic, with a great balance of texture and taste. I also enjoyed the volcano roll maki ($28) and tuna roll maki ($24), which were fresh and well prepared. The salmon sashimi ($20) was incredibly fresh and simply delicious. The restaurant has only been open for two months, but it’s already clear that they’re doing an excellent job. They also have affordable lunch options for takeaway, which is great for a quick and tasty meal. Definitely worth a visit!

Marini Coles-Janess Atmosphere is very warm and homey with the overhead lighting slightly dimmed and the music energetic but not too loud. The service was also very quick and attentive with our server noticing when our water jug was empty and replacing it without us having to ask. They also have a fun game to play involving their mascot character which results in winning a free dessert which I think is really rare nowadays with the rising costs of living, not only is it a fun way to engage with customers but it’s also incredibly generous. Would recommend this place especially the tonkatsu ramen!! They also have little toy cats everywhere which is so cute

S G I cant believe i have Not yet reviewed my favourite local cafe. Absolutely love this place and what I love the most is the staff remember your name and order. Service is great, meals are delicious and quite affordable! So grateful to have this little gem in the hood

Stefani Perfect lasagna, various options for everybodys taste, quality products and good wines! Chef Matteo is very welcoming and professional and the food speaks for itself (Italians, who prefer a "drier" option of the lasagna can ask for this small adjustment, which I really appreciated). The interior of the place is very nice and warm as well. The upstairs area is available for group events and functions.

Khalid Amin Amazing, cosy ambiance as you walk in. Great warm customer service. Food was great. It was easy to find a parking spot nearby although it was paid parking. Highly recommended.

Alfredo Malabello Just found this place on Chapel St. Monday nachos and margarita $30 ….. top quality Nachos - so good. The margarita is delicious …. even the salt they use is beautifully balanced - not too salty but fluffy with a soft crunch. Just awesome.

James Burgess-Russo Dined by myself. Awesome Mexican place, staff are super friendly. Good atmosphere. Food is amazing. Had the beef enchiladas. Cant recommend them enough. Ill be back with friends next time.

Shereen This spot serves some of the best tonkatsu youll find. While its slightly expensive, the generous portion sizes more than justify the cost. The service is notably quick and efficient. Plan ahead and make a reservation; if you dont, youll need to join the walk-in queue.
