Came in for a late lunch and we were the only diners there. We had the fish and chips and the salt and pepper calamari. Everything was cooked fresh, well presented and great quality. Dressing was served on the side for the salad which I think is a great idea. Will be back.

Been here a few times with a friend. Great staff. Food is fresh and hot, served quickly. Generous servings so although it's a bit more expensive than your average Chinese restaurant, it's still good value for money. Some dishes don't have quite the right authentic taste though, since the dishes come from all over Asia. Still delicious though. Will be coming back.

Busy restaurant, friendly and helpful staff. Food was fresh and served in a reasonable time. Some dishes don't taste quite authentic though, it must be hard to cook a variety of Asian dishes and keep it true. I had the char kway teow which was good but not quite what you would get at a dedicated Malaysian restaurant. Overall a great place though with a good atmosphere. Will be back.

Met a friend for dinner. It has an assortment of seating plus a beer garden. I had the patata bravas which wasn't well seasoned and the chicken parma which wasn't any different to your garden variety. My friend had a pizza, the crust wasn't cooked enough but the toppings were delicious. As the night wore on it became very noisy, there was a trivia night happening. Good place for a night out but not a catch up with friends! Staff were great though and very helpful.

I have dined here now on numerous occasions and it's my favourite Thai restaurant. The food is fresh and the flavours of each dish is authentic. Service is great and you don't have to wait long for your meals to be served. We don't go anywhere else for Thai food.

We dined in on a Friday night. It's not a fancy place and it was quite cold inside until they put the heaters on. We ordered spring rolls and chicken satay for entree and char kway teow and sambal prawns/squid for mains with a side of roti bread. The menu said the spring rolls had prawn meat in them but there was no sign of it amongst all the red and green cabbage. They however were hot and fresh. The satay was ok as well, no heat in the sauce and a strange coating on the chicken. Char kway teow had the classic flavour but there was also no heat in it and we found 2 prawns in the whole dish. We asked for the sambal to be mild as we didn't feel like eating too much heat but it was so hot I couldn't eat it. The waiter asked if he could taste it (!!) to which he declared it wasn't that hot and maybe I can't handle hot food. That was not necessary, we requested it to be mild and it should have been cooked that way. We could see the kitchen and everything was cooked to order so the spice level should not have been a problem. I have never had a waiter taste my food before either. Very disappointing. I expected them to cook a fresh dish because it wasn't what we ordered. The roti bread was classic, hot flaky bread. I think we will continue to travel to Laksa King for authentic Malaysian fare.

We went here for a birthday night out and used a coupon. All the staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming. The entertainment was great, the actors were awesome with lots of ad libbing! Food, entree is pumpkin soup (witches brew). It comes served at the table, piping hot and delicious. Mains were a selection of 4, vegetarians and coeliacs were catered for. I had the chicken which was cooked beautifully and moist, with broccoli, zucchini and potato salad. While not gourmet, it was tasty, hot and very filling. Dessert was a sticky date pudding, nice but would have been better with some ice cream. Overall a great fun night out. I was really impressed with all the staff there.

We dropped in to order a take away and the very friendly lady at the desk recommended some dishes for us. The food was beautiful, we had one prawn curry and a chicken curry. Fresh produce and delicious flavours. We will be going back to dine in for sure.

I have been for both lunch and dinner and it's great to have a lively place in Werribee for drinks and dining. The wait staff on both occasions were excellent and the food was delicious. Tapas style entrees so you can order some of those instead of a main meal if you desire. Very modern menu and a great balcony seating area for when Melbourne's weather is agreeable. I have had the spanish prawns, thai fish cakes, aracini, herbed lamb cutlets, chicken parmigiana to name a few and they have all been fantastic. The menu does change on a regular basis though. I can't wait to try their breakfast menu as well, I've heard their spanish eggs are to die for.

This review is for Salsa Mexican Restaurant, Werribee VIC

I heeded everyone's warnings about the poor service so booked for 6pm on a Friday evening. The service was excellent and the waitress actually had to wait for us to choose! We had nachos for entree which was piping hot and fresh, enchilada chica and dos enchilada for mains which were also piping hot and tasted great. The prices are what you expect. We also had the mexican punch which was refreshing. Will go there again when craving Mexican.
