Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I had lunch here recently during our drive home from a holiday in Mount Dandenong. We ordered Char Kuay Teow and Wat Tan Hor noodles. The food was good. Service was okay. Prices were reasonable. We will return in future.

Surprised to find such a wonderful chic restaurant in my old burb haunt circa 1990’s. Terrific decor appeals on entering, great value menu and friendly prompt service. Beef Rendang, CKT, Nasi Goreng & Roti all deliciously enjoyed. Will definitely return with more family members. Recommend.

Happened on this restaurant through a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed. Our Wed night dinner was superb and although the restaurant was full, the friendly service was excellent. We sat in the 4 stool berths which have shutters on one end, through which...the server will take orders and serve the food...what a great and novel idea. We dined on egg plant chips and veg spring rolls for starters. Our 3 x mains were Laksa Curry, Mongolian Beef and the Gabu Gabu, together with coconut rice. This was more than enough for the 4 of us, however we finished off by sharing 2 x green coconut crepes. All plates were delicious, particularly the Laksa! Two minor points could be that the coconut rice was a little "dry" and some people may find the restaurant a little noisy. I complement again the friendly and prompt service we received...the whole dining experience was fabulous.More

We have been going to this restaurant for many years for all sorts of Celebrations and it never disappoints. It is a casual restaurant, we prefer the banquette seating at the back of the restaurant, it is well decorated and a lovely space to be...in. Junior Tan is a Family restaurant with two brothers one front of house and one principal chef, we are always made very welcome, even though it had been a while since we had visited due to lockdown The serving staff are delightful and very helpful We will be back soonMore

You can not go wrong at Junior Tan … the menu is fantastic and CHEAP. The Murtabak is AMAZING. The Laksa is MASSIVE and fresh. JFC is delicious. Little kids love this place as well. You MUST book of a night time. If you were...anywhere else in Melbourne you’d be paying double the price at least. It’s clean and modern.More

Ordered Prawn noodle and Char Kuey Teow, Prawn noodle soup is good. However, Char Kuey Teow lacks the Penang flavoure, maybe not enought pork lard.
