Malayan Orchid Restaurant

We weren’t sure what to expect walking into Malayan Orchid, but we were honestly blown away. The space inside was warm and inviting, and even though we didn’t have a booking, they welcomed us in straight away with no fuss. The food? Just incredible. Every dish was packed with flavour — so much so that we ordered more than we needed simply because we couldn’t resist trying more. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even left. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Bendigo. Highly recommended. Daniel & Elinor

The best ambience i have ever felt in years. Must try place with your partner! Please customise your food based on your interest. I have only tried fried rice with entre.! I liked it. But this is specifically for ambience. Great!.

I have eaten here a few times now and it never disappoints! The revamped interior makes for a cozy atmosphere. The new menu has a wider range of delicious dishes and should keep every punter happy. We phoned ahead with our booking to alert the kitchen of dietary requirements and they were amazing at accommodating our needs. The service was excellent - attentive but not intrusive - and the hostess checked in to make sure everything was going well. Our meals were fantastic! We made a range of selections and shared amongst our group of four using the lazy Susan on the round table we snagged with our booking. The variety of meals, the quality of produce, the simple, elegant presentation was all excellent. Thanks for another beautiful night out!

We all had a amazing time and the food was delicious definitely recommend

Just had an amazing dinner here with my partner earlier this evening. The meals were terrific—familiar Malaysian flavours with high-quality seasonal ingredients cooked to perfection. Nothing was too spicy or unbalanced. Personal highlight: the Assam Fish, absolutely delightful! The experience was made even better by the peaceful and warm ambience. They pay great attention to detail, like having ice cubes in our water pitcher. And the staff? Absolutely lovely and friendly, with a high level of care, especially Tammy, who made the whole experience enjoyable. We couldn't be happier. If you choose to come here, you will be very satisfied and delighted!

Good food, great ambiance generally all around good vibes. Although the service was very slow when I dined in the other day. Drinks and entree were received in 15 minutes. But my main dish was received almost an hour later. I received a complimentary drink on the house. Which was nice. But when I mentioned the wait time, I was corrected by the manager eventhough I had timestamps, since I was taking pictures all throughout the night. The food was delicious and authentically Malaysian. However, the experience was tarnished by the slow service.

Great restaurant with great food, service and value! The ambiance is really nice, too. We went as a group and were really impressed with the food, service and extensive drink offerings at reasonable prices. The chilli prawn sambal dish was yummy as was the egg plant dish. Highly recommend! Worth coming back to Bendigo just to go here again.

A very special spot. The atmosphere and lighting is gorgeous (if only more restaurants had soft lighting and comfortable seating). The service is excellent, they have created a good staff culture here. And the food is excellent too. And it's well priced. All in all, it's a winner 🏆

Dinner for 2, The food was great although not huge choice, only thing lacking was the long pause's between dishes

I went here with my partner, we had of the banquet feeds, 100% stunning and delicious. The food was immaculate and well presented, the staff were beyond nice and professional! I would highly recommend this place!
