My uber eats delivery guy showed up with less food than I ordered. Called em up, they send their own person round with the missing food. Above and beyond.
Bob Star Convenient Dandenong Ranges Comfort Food

I ordered takeaway for the first time here and it is my favourite Chinese restaurant I’ve had so far. The lady (I didn’t catch her name), was so friendly and lovely and my meal was finished within the exact timeframe they gave me.
