How we read reviews →Hawthorn East's 24-year Southeast Asian institution, famous for tableside flaming chicken theatre.
Colourful, homey dining room with tropical Southeast Asian styling and background music; casual enough for a weeknight dinner but theatrical enough for a birthday celebration with the tableside flambe.
Tableside flaming chicken flambeed with rose wine, house-made sambal belacan, a dessert platter with house gelato in matcha, durian and vanilla, and free on-street parking after 6pm.
Genuinely multi-nation Southeast Asian menu spanning Malaysian, Thai, Vietnamese and Singaporean dishes, reflecting the owner's own heritage rather than a single-cuisine gimmick.
Good value for shared banquet-style group dining (around $40/head for a full seafood spread), though a few reviewers flagged surcharges on tea pots and teacups as unreasonable.
