Japanese $$ Upstairs from Calia in Chadstone is it’s sister store Calia Grill. It’s still Japanese but more focused on the bbq aspects of the cuisine. We had one of the wagyu sets, tasty and fun to do! But expensive. Decent place for special occasions. 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩 8/10 https://calia.co/pages/calia-chadstone-grill

Purple Yum Cafe (Chadstone)
Filipino/Cafe $ This quaint little Filipino joint has a fantastic ube cake that I just keep going back for. It’s not too sweet and incredibly moist, and the icing is the perfect finish. It’s very popular, and I can see why! They also sell a few traditional dishes for lunch, mostly rice based. Great simpleContinue reading “Purple Yum Cafe (Chadstone)”
Blackstar (Chadstone)
Dessert $ Of course their famous watermelon cake is delicious, but their black sesame cheesecake is really great too! Have to say the watermelon is still my favourite though, perfect balance of light and creamy but not too sweet. Also tried their limited edition hot cross buns; sweet and sticky on the outside but softContinue reading “Blackstar (Chadstone)”
Phuoc Thanh (Chadstone)
Vietnamese $ Tried the pork banh mi at this new place; not bad! Wouldn’t say it’s my favourite banh mi, and bread was a little dry, but if you’re craving a fob roll it will do the job. 🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯 6/10 https://www.phuocthanh.com.au/
Grill’d (Chadstone)
Burgers $$ Got Simon Says and Summer Sunset; have to say they nailed the beef burger! Despite advertising I’m sure it’s not exactly healthy, but sure tastes good. Chicken burger was a bit dry, but still pretty tasty. The truffle wagyu is nothing special, a bit bland. The ‘healthy’ fried chicken is decent, hits theContinue reading “Grill’d (Chadstone)”
Guzman y Gomez (Chadstone)
Mexican $ This place is so popular! I think it’s because they pitch themselves as ‘healthy’ and they have a drive-through. I can’t argue against the tastiness. The burritos are very filling, nachos are nothing amazing but pretty decent, and the hard tacos are super salty but very flavoursome. Chicken is mediocre quality, fish andContinue reading “Guzman y Gomez (Chadstone)”
Maguro (Chadstone)
Japanese $ I thought Chadstone had enough sushi places, but this is definitely better quality than most takeaway sushi. Certainly pricier, but worth it. If you’re keen, this place even has oysters. 🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣 9/10
Calia (Chadstone)
Asian $$ I’m conflicted about this place, because the food was amazing, but I got food poisoning from it! The fact that I’m still considering going back just shows how tasty the food was. To be fair, I’ve been a few times with no problems, so go at your own risk! Miso eggplant, salted eggContinue reading “Calia (Chadstone)”
D’Elephant (Chadstone)
Thai $$ A nice Thai place in Chadstone shopping centre. Huge amount of menu options, cute decor, decent pad thai. Thai’s not my go-to food, but still very tasty! 🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘 7/10 http://www.delephant.com.au/
Industry Beans (Chadstone)
Cafe $$ A new addition to Chadstone shopping centre, this modern brunch place is a great way to start a day of shopping. Fancier brunch menu, on the pricier side. Looks very classy, and tastes pretty good. 🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳 8/10 https://industrybeans.com/
Danji (Chadstone)
Korean $$ A fantastic Korean place on a quieter suburban street of Chadstone. It doesn’t look like much from the outside but has some of best best Korean Fried Chicken I’ve had! Crunchy on the outside, but flavoursome and tender on the inside. Looks like a family run business; definitely deserves more customers, 100% worthContinue reading “Danji (Chadstone)”
Fonda (Chadstone)
Mexican $$ An old haunt of mine, their chicken burritos are a fav, with quinoa to add a nice crunch. Chips are fantastic too! (Also forgot to take a proper pic of their food). One of my go-tos for good quality Mexican food. 🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯 8/10 Home
Nene Chicken (Chadstone)
Fast Food $$ Had heard a lot about this Korean fried chicken, so tried it to see what all the fuss was about! Had the classic range with original and freaking hot flavours; definitely tasty and not nearly as oily as KFC. I enjoyed their cheesy mayo chips too; quite crunchy and salty. Fried chickenContinue reading “Nene Chicken (Chadstone)”
Master Lanzhou Noodle Bar (Chadstone)
Chinese $ Was craving a good bowl of noodle soup, so came here! House-made noodles, warm beefy broth, definitely hit the spot. I had the signature handmade beef noodle soup (minus coriander so looks a bit bare!) and the spicy and numb beef noodle soup. The signature was okay, personally I feel like it’s tooContinue reading “Master Lanzhou Noodle Bar (Chadstone)”
Little White Duck (Chadstone)
Chinese $$ Been meaning to try this restaurant in the Chadstone foodcourt for a while! Tried the shanghai pan-fried black truffle pork buns and the homemade buns, pretty good! Couldn’t taste any truffle, not as flavourful as I’d like, but still delicious. And I know the homemade buns are easy to make, but I’m aContinue reading “Little White Duck (Chadstone)”
Red Rooster (Chadstone)
Fast Food $ Very decent quarter chicken and chips, not too greasy! Chicken roll is not worth getting again though. Cheesy chicken nuggets sounded better than they tasted. https://www.redrooster.com.au/locations/chadstone/ 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗 7/10
Aliza Place Cafe (Chadstone)
Brunch $$ A small cafe in the suburbs of Chadstone; nothing spectacular, not great flavours. https://my-site-100056-103309.square.site/ 🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳 5/10
Shanghai Red (Chadstone)
Chinese $$ Has some of the best dim sum of Melbourne! Prawn dumplings and xiao long bao are amazing, great quality meat. Prefer the regular xiao long bao over truffle xiao long bao. And can’t look past a great bao with condensed milk. Love love love. Main drawback is that it’s expensive for Asian food.Continue reading “Shanghai Red (Chadstone)”
New Shanghai (Chadstone)
Chinese $$ Best place for Xiao Long Baos, and excellent crispy chicken noodle soup. Both the steamed Xiao Long Baos and the pan fried are top-notch; very juicy and flavourful. Egg yolk tofu also fantastic, soft inside with salty crispy coating. https://www.newshanghai.com.au/ 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜10/10
