Coconut Palms Restaurant Melbourne

Feb 2021 dine in at evening. Ordered special fried rice. Awesome great taste of flavor! One downside is the evening menu dont have much rice and noodle dishes and dont even have the typical Vietnamese pho and rice in the menu. They have perhaps u have to ask for it. If it not in menu i couldn't be bothered asking tbh. But this special fried rice is absolutely 👍. And hopefully they have beverages list in the menu or on table. I'm sure not just me sick of asking what do u have thats not in the menu.

I've found the food to be consistently excellent. The ingredients are fresh and the flavours are intoxicating. The fried rice is some of the best I've ever had. I've tried roast duck fried noodles from a lot of places, and Coconut Palms makes the best by far. When I tried the fried noodles with bean curd and vegetables, their wok imparted a beautiful smokiness. Evidently, I couldn't speak highly enough of the food. The customer service is good, too.

My pet peeve? Businesses that advertise one thing at the window to get you in and then charge you something else at the counter. I walked in to order takeaway after checking out the menu posted at the shop window. The dish I wanted was $15. After going in and ordering, I was told it was $17. I questioned the counter woman to be told that the window menu was lunch prices (note, nowhere on the menu in the window does it indicate that it was the lunch menu). I picked up a menu at the counter to see the dish was priced $16 (wait, what?! $15 at the window but $16 on the "lunch" menu??) on that menu only to be told by her that there was another menu (ie. The "dinner" menu) that listed it at $17. Come here if you want to pick a menu, any menu, and play Russian roulette with what they'll charge you.
