Palms Restaurant has been around for years and it is more food court than restaurant. If your party…read moreis not quite sure what style of food they want for your next meal this is a good place to try as it has something for everyone. From freshly made dosa to roti and curries, I enjoy coming here for a quick bite that does not break the bank. Another perk is there is usually plenty of parking around the area as well. Ladies tie your hair up and wear older clothes so you can eat more but also if you sit in there too long you end up smelling a bit like oil.

Palm court is a cafeteria-style eatery with cuisines from Asia, India and Sri Lanka…read more You enter into the court and are shown to your table. This place isn't fancy or nice by any means- cheap tables and chairs; it's really just a place you go to get some authentic food. The seating area is surrounded by a few food stalls-each serving their specialties. There is a Malaysian inspired counter where curries and roti can be bought, as well as some traditional rice/noodle dishes. There are also Indian/Sri Lankan stalls where authentic dishes can be found. Palm Court also offers a vegetarian stall. This is a fun and different place to try out some exotic flavors. Don't expect much interior wise- it's just a place one can go to get something a little out of the ordinary.

The one thing that I like about living in Preston is the number of authentic Asian restaurants…read moredotted along High Street. Ever since going to Hong Kong I have had a hankering for proper Chinese food. This isn't the food that you find at the Chinese stall in the food hall, but rather a restaurant owned and run by Chinese, and the worse their English, the more authentic the restaurant tends to be. Okay, it's not Hong Kong, but then again unless you are willing to put aside a week to travel there and back, these restaurants are probably the best that you are going to get. This certainly wasn't a bad restaurant. The staff were ever friendly, and it certainly seems popular, and they also have chop-sticks, which for me is an absolute must when it comes to eating Chinese food. The cool thing about these restaurants is that they have pictures of all the dishes, so you can just flick through the menu and point to the dish you want. However, be careful not to make the mistake that I made and point to the wrong one because you might end up with a meal that you don't particularly like. Oh, I better not forget, they also have pots of Chinese tea for $1.00 each, which is also pretty cool.

Ok so the Noodle Kingdom in Preston has a few noticeable differences from its city sister. Theres…read moreno fancy red and gold wallpaper and theres no suits. The clientele is mainly Preston locals and the destination diners. The menu is exactly the same and I am grateful for this. Over lunch and weeknights this place experiences the same peak hour rush as the city Noodle Kingdom but due to the suburban location of this restaurant theres a slightly more relaxed vibe. Its not unusual to see people waiting five deep in a queue for the freshly prepared dumplings and noodles. I've already detailed my fetish for their dumplings and the no 29 (beef/noodles) however you can add the no 94 (fried chicken/noodles) and beef skewers to the list. The beef skewers are a grilled/spiced cummin delight and great to chew on. Prices are cheap and the service is blunt, this place delivers consistently great food, however a word of warning, go easy on the chilli.

Not the most amazing decor or ambiance, but nice and cosy and have been back quite a few times, and will no doubt be back again soon.

Service can be a bit spotty, but good overall. Like many places, they do tend to do a lot of take out and that sometimes takes priority over paying guests in the restaurant (one of my biggest pet peeves), but ... again ... the food is worth it. No matter what I order, they always get it right (and I do make a few substitutions). It's always hot and delicious and comforting. Their Tom Kha Gai soup is incredible. Sooooo good. I love their Chicken Fried Rice and the Chicken Massaman is really flavourful. BUT ... I could lay a bet down, that their Coconut Rice is the BEST in Melbourne. It's beyond delicious. I swear, I could just eat a bowl of that and nothing else and I'd be happy having it as my meal ;-) Thai Village is in a semi busy street (big supermarket across the road that brings in extra traffic), but parking isn't too bad. Also, their pricing is very reasonable. Thai Village is a casual restaurant and one of the nicest Thai restaurants I've been to. Definitely in my Top 3 in Melbourne. Give it a go!

Obviously, being a food…read morecourt takeaway I didn't have high hopes so the food cannot be compared to more high quality Malaysian restaurants, but it was still a decent meal. Customer Service: They're fairly nice, albeit a tad bit clueless and their English isn't very good. However, this is pretty much the typical Asian establishment so you cannot really fault them. Food: They have already pre-made food in hot plates and you can choose your own combos. Try the Malaysian Chicken Curry - it's like Nasi Lemak chicken and it's pretty good for the cheap prices. In combination with rice or whatever else you choose, you can get a decently cheap and filling meal at the end of it. --- Feast @ East is nothing to rave about being from the mediocre Victoria Gardens Food Court, but it stands out at a great place you can get cheap Malaysian from to fill your tummy.

Unfortunately the curries lack an essential element; spiciness, a flaw that is very apparent in the green curry. They don't even provide any chilli on the tables.

Luckily the meal ended with a fabulous dessert platter. I love the glutinous rice pudding.

I must say, there is something exciting about going to little eateries out in the suburbs, where…read morethere is no line, no bustle, and just the smell of good food. I must add that Asiatte does not disappoint in this aspect. 90% of the menu is Bento Box's, not that it matters. IF you do something well, then why not do more of it hey????? First trip I started with a Teriyaki Chicken Bento, and asked them not to put the Miso soup on there as I am not a fan. The Bento was delivered to the table quickly and with a hurried smile, and I noticed that they had replaced the Miso with a Gyoza. A nice unexpected touch, and one I was appreciative of. Alongside the chicken was some steamed rice, and small salad (with a delicious dressing) and also a small ball of sweet mashed potato with corn in it. The sauce on the chicken was delicious and sweet, and was offset well with the rice. The salad and mash was well thought out, and also assisted on cutting through the sweetness of the sauce. My last two visits, I have got the Bento but with Kara age Chicken. The chicken is delicious and is sprinkled with some Japanese spice. Ask for some Japanese mayo on the side, and deep these fried little chicken bites in it, and for under 10 bucks, you have yourself a delicious lunch.

I am not a big fan of Bento boxes so I can't review on them. I've been here about 6 times or more and my favourite dishes are bi-bimbab of any kind. They prepare these in fabulous hot stone bowls and are absolutely delicious. They adjust to your likes if any ingredient doesn't suit you. Another highly recommended food is their sushi! It is delicious. I love the sushi rolls aren't excessive with rice, they are made with a decent layer of it and different ingredients. They offer nice combinations including some spicy ones which are my favourites. The food is ready quickly, the ingredients are very fresh and prepared or cooked on the spot, the guys at the counter are very friendly. Great job to Asiatte. Keep it up this way!!
