- JJoanneNew York City •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy third visit to Yiaga, and once again it was the best experience. Everything is perfect, the food of course is fabulous as is the wine list and cocktails. My highlight though are the wonderful staff members who are so knowledgeable and always just delightful. Can’t wait to return again!More infoYiaga$$$$• Modern Australian• East Melbourne•4.9
- CChrisMelbourne •1 review4.0Dined on Oct 22, 2026Lovely restaurant found in a quiet area with sweet charm, great lighting. Sat upstairs and if you’re looking for a place for a date night, perfect. Enough noise to fill in quiet moments without being overwhelming but quiet enough to have a clear conversation. Food was beautiful and plentiful, a signature cocktail a must. Service good and friendly. You pay for what you get and you get a lot more than what you pay for here.More infoMama Le$$$$• Vietnamese• Kensington•4.5
- AAshishMelbourne •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 21, 2026I have been dining at Laksa King in New Market since 2004 when it was a small shop at the front! It’s always fantastic, I love the vibe, the owners and the team are always welcoming, even being so busy, they are always smiling and serve the yummiest food! It’s been consistent since the time I have been dining there. You don’t find such great people serving amazing food for decades. CheersMore infoLaksa King Flemington$$$$• Malaysian• Flemington•4.8
