Smile Thai Cuisine - Food VIC

A T I had a freshly toasted chicken focaccia and it was delicious!! I was coming off a long flight and starving, so I just wanted a quick bite to keep me going until dinner. The hotel receptionist directed me to Aroma and I did not know what to expect, so it was a lovely surprise. The service was very friendly and welcoming, even though I got there just as they were about to close their lunch service and I really enjoyed the food. Thank you!

Chloe Esmonde I ate here last weekend and absolutely loved it! The owner and his staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was brilliant, I had a lamb curry, butter naan and plain lassi, absolutely delicious! Prices are brilliant too. I’ll definitely come back again next time I’m in Melbourne!!

Christopher Wu Jusik had been highly recommended by my Korean hairdresser as a must-visit, so I finally gave it a go — and while I initially thought it looked expensive (over $100 for one meat set), I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Meat Lover Set and asked our waitress to bring out her recommended selections. At first glance, the portion of meat didn’t seem huge, but it ended up being really filling. We considered adding more meat, but honestly, the value didn’t quite match up for the price — and we were already too full anyway. They also serve Korean Fried Chicken with the set, which was extremely crispy. I personally prefer other styles of fried chicken, but someone in our group said it was one of the better ones they’ve had. The sides were what really set Jusik apart: • The kimchi, fish cake, and other banchan had great depth of flavour, clearly well-fermented and house-made. • Unfortunately, side refills are limited to once, which was a bit of a letdown given how tasty they were. • The Corn Cheese was a standout — rich, melty, and absolutely delicious. • The Seafood Pancake was thick and generously sized, but lacked a bit of flavour. One thing that stood out during our visit — around 80% of diners were Korean, which says a lot about the authenticity and appeal of the place. Service was attentive, the food came out steadily, and the vibe was warm and energetic. Would definitely come back, especially for the sides and corn cheese. She could have been a tad nicer but alright still.

J C Great coffee with a strong selection of baguettes on artisanal bread. Fresh produce and food assembled with care. Very friendly staff that create a warm and inviting, relaxed space. Nice selection of music and the decor inside fits the space perfectly.

clover cheng Tried the set menu for two and really enjoyed it. We chose the soft Korean rice cakes and the spicy stir-fried octopus — both were full of flavour and very satisfying. The side dishes were excellent and generous, easily the highlight of the meal. Loved that you can pick your own drinks from the fridge too. Great value for a traditional Korean set meal. Would happily come back!

Muskanpreet Had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and full of flavor—one of the best I’ve had. The naan and lacha paratha were perfectly soft and flaky, great for soaking up all the delicious curries. The paneer biryani was aromatic, with just the right blend of spices, and the paneer was soft and fresh. The food was served hot, and the portions were generous. The ambiance was warm, and the service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors!

Honest Reviewer Lovely dinner experience! The staff were warm and welcoming, and the food was delicious. It did take a little while for our meals to arrive, but the team kindly compensated us, which we really appreciated. Great location too, with beautiful European vibes. We’d happily come back again.

Rebecca Thorpe Amazing venue. Delicious food. The Cacio e Pepe toast is insane. Also got the fried squid and chilli crab pasta. Finished with tiramisu, a must have. Good wine and drinks list. Attentive staff.

Raymond Robinson Was here 31 October 2025. What a place! The atmosphere on a Friday night was electric! (Mind you – it was night 1 of Oasis 25!). Quality food and drink. Wonderful management and bar staff who are most welcoming. Service super efficient based on how crazy busy it was inside and out. Seems like a popular place and for good reason! Excellent! *****

Bryce Roberts This place is a funky cosy little pub, come down and see the owner Matt who is a great guy. Meet Roxy the dog, who will bark until you give her a pat. Great to watch the sports on tv, cool background music. Best vibe in a bar ive been to in a long time.
