Malayan Orchid Restaurant

Thank you Tammy, what a lovely experience. The meals were very well presented, and the taste was nothing less than delicious. With crisp, perfectly balanced flavour and clean taste to the palette. The atmosphere was perfect, The decor is easy on the eye and well-placed. These pictures do not do it justice at all. Definitely will be a return dinner.

Just spent our 3rd anniversary date here. We ordered the banquet for $68 per person and a bottle of wine. It was totally worth it! We absolutely loved every single meal that came out. Andrew the chef did an amazing job! My favorite was the crab on top of curry sauce. My partner loved the dumplings. The ramen and the meat in it was so perfectly cooked. Loved the variety in the dessert. All the staff were super nice and accommodating. Tammy provided excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will definitely have dinner here again! Cheers

I don't know how this restaurant rated 4.4 star on google. Growing up as a chinese Malaysian, the dishes we ordered taste nothing like Malaysian or Indonesian or Nyonya. The special fried rice is the worst dish me& family ever tasted. The other 3 dishes all had the same vegetables, i can honestly say the kangaroo meat was the best of all dishes. Service was great, all waiter waitresses were excellant. Sorry to say we won't be returning to this restaurant

9 of us booked for 5.00pm so we could have a lovely dinner before attending the Dai Gum San chinese new year celebrations which started at 5.30. We knew we wouldn't get there by that time but the restaurant staff were aware of our itinerary. After putting in our order around 5.30 our entrees came out quite quickly but our mains not until 7.00pm. We were so close to walking out and when we said we were going to leave. Straight away our meals came. The manager was so stern and rude, no apology from her I feel we were targeted for asking to order off their old menu, all she said in response to our questions was they only had one chef and because of the old menu, it has taken extra time. She should not have offered the old menu in the first place if only one chef. I have never waited so long for a meal especially when 3 couples came in after us and were leaving after their meals before we received ours. I will not be going back their again.

Something needs to change. We ordered takeaway at 7pm. Was told it would be half an hour. Went back at 7.30 and was told it wasn’t ready. At 7.50 asked fellow behind the counter to check what was going on with our food. He said it won’t be long. Finally complained to owner and she said they’re just cooking the rice. Got the meal at 8.10. No apology. Blamed it on the fellow. Said it was his first day. Then said there was only one chef. Then decided to give us a can of lemonade. Nasi goreng was bland and oily. Steak in black bean was ok. Reading other reviews it seems to happen too regularly. We will be giving it a miss in future. Don’t blame the staff. Employ more staff.

Waitress spilt lemonaid all over the table then walked away presumably to get something to clean up the mess but didn't come back so had to wave another waiter over to clean up the mess. Food was absolutely fantastic and worth the waiting for over 2 hours for it to be served. The food was truly amazing and by far the highlight of the evening. When we paid the bill I noticed a lot of staff just standing around talking and not doing anything so I guess that is why it took so long to get the meals. They were very good at keeping our drinks coming while we waited for the food. They must make most of their money using this tactic. I'd go back for the food and just pray that the staff were just having a bad night while we were there.

Some of the dishes are great and some miss the mark, but overall everything is fresh and well presented. There's standard fare but also a range of less common dishes for the more adventurous. The restaurant is often booked out and the service can be quite slow as they deal with queues of people waiting for take away on top of the dine in crowd. Staff are young but polite and reasonably professional. Update: Ate here last night 09/12/23 and was unimpressed with the rude manner with which the duty manager dealt with a simple complaint, especially in front of younger staff members. I ran ga business myself for 12 years and
