The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list.

    Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

    Always perfect, every time I’m in Melbourne I always come to Serai. The only restaurant I’ve ever been to that makes you feel like you’re eating at someones pinoy house feeled with love.

    Overall great experience. Very busy just before Xmas and staff were lovely/ kept their cool under the pressure. Roast pumpkin salad with grilled salmon STUNNING as always. Only disappointment as the fries at $15 a bowl and there were lots of small, thinly cut chips that were over done, so at $15 and a third being inedible, that was not so good. But to sum up, terrific food and a great team.
