The best ambience i have ever felt in years. Must try place with your partner! Please customise your food based on your interest. I have only tried fried rice with entre.! I liked it. But this is specifically for ambience. Great!.
We werenโt sure what to expect walking into Malayan Orchid, but we were honestly blown away. The space inside was warm and inviting, and even though we didnโt have a booking, they welcomed us in straight away with no fuss. The food? Just incredible. Every dish was packed with flavour โ so much so that we ordered more than we needed simply because we couldnโt resist trying more. Itโs the kind of place where you find yourself planning your next visit before youโve even left. Canโt wait to come back next time weโre in Bendigo. Highly recommended. Daniel & Elinor
Just had an amazing dinner here with my partner earlier this evening. The meals were terrificโfamiliar Malaysian flavours with high-quality seasonal ingredients cooked to perfection. Nothing was too spicy or unbalanced. Personal highlight: the Assam Fish, absolutely delightful! The experience was made even better by the peaceful and warm ambience. They pay great attention to detail, like having ice cubes in our water pitcher. And the staff? Absolutely lovely and friendly, with a high level of care, especially Tammy, who made the whole experience enjoyable. We couldn't be happier. If you choose to come here, you will be very satisfied and delighted!
Good food, great ambiance generally all around good vibes. Although the service was very slow when I dined in the other day. Drinks and entree were received in 15 minutes. But my main dish was received almost an hour later. I received a complimentary drink on the house. Which was nice. But when I mentioned the wait time, I was corrected by the manager eventhough I had timestamps, since I was taking pictures all throughout the night. The food was delicious and authentically Malaysian. However, the experience was tarnished by the slow service.
I have eaten here a few times now and it never disappoints! The revamped interior makes for a cozy atmosphere. The new menu has a wider range of delicious dishes and should keep every punter happy. We phoned ahead with our booking to alert the kitchen of dietary requirements and they were amazing at accommodating our needs. The service was excellent - attentive but not intrusive - and the hostess checked in to make sure everything was going well. Our meals were fantastic! We made a range of selections and shared amongst our group of four using the lazy Susan on the round table we snagged with our booking. The variety of meals, the quality of produce, the simple, elegant presentation was all excellent. Thanks for another beautiful night out!
