"Love here so so much, food good, service good, owner can speak mandarin good. Haha. Come here for lunch, ordered a lot, not too sure what we have ordered as I cannot read food in other language.. but! Trust me, order whatever still will taste great. All the food are so good, especially the paella, taste not like those usual ones, cannot explain much, really recommend to come to try."
"Loved the food here!! I can’t remember what the soup dish was but it was amazing and felt just comfort food. Staff were friendly and the place had a very chilled vibe."
"This is a true local gem yet to be the shining star! What a surprise with the decorations, friendly services, amazingly beautiful dishes and most importantly, not breaking the bank! The menu doesn't do the dishes justice! The quesadilla is tasty pulled pork and slow-cooked beef instead of the usual mince meat. The taste of the gumbo is so complex that it's absolutely another level! You must try the special donut! They are crazy yummy unlike the traditional doughy boring ring-shaped style. I wish I could eat ten serves of them! I'm definitely coming back and highly recommend everyone to try. Make sure you are hungry so you can try as many dishes as possible! Parking is very easy just outside the restaurant, though it can get busy on weekends. If you are into dancing, they have a dance studio at the back as well. When not in use, you can have the place for parties or private dining!"
"When you visit La Bodega, you must order the Tostones. One of the most interesting dishes I've tried. I'd return just for this! But it got even better with the paella. It was perfection. Tender, delicious, well seasoned. Perfect temperature and generous portions. Its accompanying salad was unique and refreshing. The owner is an absolute delight. He was very hospitable and friendly. I had some feedback about a couple of other dishes, and he welcomed it wholeheartedly. I will be back!"
"Very honest and sincere food and service. Would say particularly the Dominican Republic dishes were on point. Absolutely flavourful and authentic. Ambience and music makes you forget that you are in Melbourne and it brought me and my partner back to our vacation in the Caribbean many years ago. The service was 10/10, they made you feel like home. Will definitely be back!"
