The food at this restaurant is sooo understated. Coming from a family of foodies/restauranteurs, I find the food exceptionally good. The chef has nailed the spices in the Singapore noodles and fried rice, with generous portions of beef, egg, shrimps & veg.
The chicken chilli lemongrass is a favourite (would be even better if chicken thighs rather than breast were used).
And the crispy pork sweet n sour is an absolute winner! No doughnut style batter here, just a delicious lighter style with very generous slices of pork.
We order delivery most Friday nights… can’t fault it. Not sure what all these other reviewers are on about? Taste in their backside.
Well done Diamond Saigon!
This is above average Vietnamese/Chinese cuisine. 🤩🙌

My favourite Asian restaurant in Doreen, the service is great and the fresh food is even better. The only complaint is consistency of the final product but that’s only cause the Wok station can have different chefs. Highly recommended for your Asian fix ! My order is the Pad Thai, extra spicy 🌶️.

Best açaí in the area! It's not too sweet and it's filled to the brim! What a great find!

I’ve been to quite a few Kebab places and this one seems to have plenty of allurement from bright neon signs to their pleasant interior design. In the few times I’ve been there, mainly with my friends, it was always busy.
I’ve seen plenty of workers behind the counter preparing large amounts of meals all at once together. They’ve got principles from unity to persistence in their rhythm no matter what intensity of demand there is because they want to deliver. It’s something I don’t see a lot of reviews for this place talk about so I think it’s important to underscore that.
Additionally, good wait times as well. I’ve had two occasions where me and my friends went upstairs to Coles to grab a Dare or Ice Tea and come back down just in time to grab our order. Whatever they’re doing there, keep doing that!
To the food, it is scrumptious! To be fair, I am a bit partial when I say that because I haven’t tried their whole menu and quality could change in different foods like their bread but I endorse their HSP’s!
Their portions are excellent as they always fill it up in the cardboard container. They are so generous with the amounts of sauce and meat, your dopamine receptors don’t even know how good it is! What I always get pleasantly surprised by too is how nice the chips and cheese are underneath. Some other places don’t get me as excited with the chips but I can definitely say these guys get it right.
My only complaints is that I have bit into a flake of bone twice in the meat but I can give that a pass since quality assurance can only do so much to avoid those things. My other complaint is that it is somewhat overpriced. 3 HSP’s for $90 is in my opinion, somewhat steep.
I will adapt my review when I’ve tried other things and see that their quality and diversity in their foods are consistent to what I feel in the HSP’s but otherwise, I love this place. Thank you Mernda Kebab House and I’ll be back in the future!

Really nicely seasoned homemade potato cakes.
Chips were nothing special but they were also good.

Very delicious. Really enjoyed the flake. Chips, dimmies, potato cakes and calamari rings were also great. Definitely coming here again.
