Maiseen Kong 米線港| Doncaster — Restaurant in Melbourne

Experience Came here expecting it will remind me of home. At first it did, many of my friends recommended this place. The place looks neat and very cozy. However, In general, I was a little disappointed due to the hype about the place.

Pros Cozy atmosphere Customer service is pretty decent. -The 炸醬 (meat with sauce?) is actually very similar to HK. -The noodles is nice and good texture. The turnip tasted amazing. My HK Milktea is good and adding a $1 to get a decent drink is great!

Cons -Paying $6 for only 4 thin pieces of Pork Intestine is ridiculous. I questioned them about it but seem to shake it off their shoulder. -A little stingy on giving you more for what they are charging for food in section B. (Section A: is standard, Section:B is premium) -Soup base doesn’t have enough flavour. -The ‘To Fei’ Chicken Wings doesn’t taste, look or any where near the texture of what it suppose to be. It is more like pan friend chicken wings. It is good, but not what it is suppose to be.

Verdict Overall, I have mixed feelings about it. That is why a 3 star justifies this place at the moment. It is still early days but I recommend them to increase the amount given for the price or lower the cost down a bit. So much potential and I wish...

Jul to August 2023: The most one like HongKong style spicy noodle taste in Melbourne even the spot is too tiny and share table problem😹. I love the taste but their noodle need a better quality. I regularly eat their meal in a month with my family, my kid love it as well.

Recommend: 1) iced milk tea 2) iced lemon tea 3)chicken wing 4) noodle with spicy soup 5)pork liver 6) fried pork chop

Not recommend: 1）pork intestine

Updated on September to October 2023: Last review I gave 4 stars for the food. However, I think they did check the reviews here. It’s because the rice noodles was exchanged to better quality now!

That’s why I have to edit to 5...

This is my second visit to this restaurant, a larger group, seemingly friends with one of the waitress, arrived after us without a reservation. After a 15-minute wait, we were next in line to be served, but the group behind us managed to secure a table for half of their group before us. Despite expressing our turn, they assured us we would be next after the current seating. However, another 15 minutes later, the waitress promptly organized another table for the second half of the group, decided to order takeaway instead. You cannot make a reservation for this place, but if you want a table without waiting, make sure you know someone...
