Honey Boy Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

Six of us ladies all ordered the $49 set menu each. But the servings are for sharing, not individual servings which is fine but portions of meat in the curry was so little and the fried rice was only one serving enough for two people not 6. I think we had enough for two spoonfuls each. They gave us two bowls of white rice which was fine but luckily we’re not big eaters. If we had men amongst us it would’ve been inadequate. Only the salad had two servings. During our meal, the sun was shining into our eyes so we asked for the blinds to be drawn down. The waitress soon forgot about it and we had to attempt to do it ourselves. I finally had to ask the waitress to do it as I didn’t want to encroach on the other diners. We all didn’t like the sago pudding dessert that we tried the last time so we asked if we could order another dessert. They said there might be extra cost. The sago on the menu was $10.50 but a scoop of ice cream was $6.50. So we ordered the ice cream. We were all so disappointed with the portions. It wasn’t even a proper full scoop. It was probably a bit more than half a scoop. Definitely not worth $6.50!! Other than that the food is good but the...

Went for dinner last night, we had high hopes as it looks fantastic in there - we won’t be going back unfortunately.

Wrong food and drink orders arrived multiple times which we had to send away. Not a great sign.

My husband was then incorrectly served prawn spring rolls - he is vegan. We noted with the waitress prior to our order going through. Luckily he is not allergic to shellfish.

Our mains were bland and went almost untouched. Our plates were left sitting in front of us and no one came and offered any service by way of clearing them or asking why we had full plates when they served them an hour prior.

Then we were asked to leave as other people were waiting for our table. Still no mention of the full plates in front of us.

As we walked out we noted many other tables empty and wondered why they put us on a table of 4 when there was only two of us to begin with.

Service and food like this will definitely not survive...

I'm not normally a fan of Vietnamese food, but I drive by here enough to take an interest in trying it out. I must say, I really loved the food. Everything we had was really tasty and good, and thankfully not saturated in coriander/cilantro or lemongrass. The service was ok. Everything we ordered came out as it should and altogether, although one of the mains came out with the entrees which was a minor pain in the neck. Once the food was finally ordered, it all came out in reasonable time and presented really well. Everything exuded flavour and texture and the chicken was so tender and moist that it just fell apart so easily and I ended up eating much more than I should have. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and I would definitely come back here again another time. Parking is easy and it's nice and spacious inside and there wasn't really much I could fault with the whole experience. Highly recommend...
