Mietta's Review
The address is Lt Bourke but entry is from Tatterstalls La, a small lane off Little Bourke, a bright welcoming place with friendly staff. Lunchtimes are very busy but you can wait for a table to come free, they turn over pretty quickly here. Whilst waiting look at what's being served on the tables around you. Menus on display are all in Chinese but there are some pink laminated English menus. They sort of match the chairs. Simple black painted tables and a nifty little chipboard ledge snakes its way around a couple of the walls for single diners. Very good fresh food, very low prices. Also 1025 Whitehorse Road, Box Hill 9898 2160.

The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "STUDENTS and wage slaves pack this humble cafeteria, helping themselves to green tea from the urn and choosing from more than 45 variations on the noodle theme - served with everything from pickled cabbage and clams to spicy pig stomach."
