We have previously had great service from Fairy Bird, but unfortunately tonight was not a good experience. Our food was half an hour late being delivered. I phoned to enquire as to its location and was told it was "on its way". I live in Nepean Highway in Bonbeach, which is about a 2 minute drive from Fairy Bird. After another 10 minutes, I phoned again to enquire about the delivery. I was told it was still "on its way". I asked to cancel, as the food would be lukewarm by the time it arrived. I was passed on to another staff member who refused to let me cancel as it was "on its way". We were refused a refund, and the lady was incredibly rude to us. The food finally arrived and it was cold and soggy. The delivery driver told us we were his fourth delivery in that run - he had also delivered further away than Bonbeach on that same run, which means the food sat in the back of his car for an extended period. We were not happy and decided to eat elsewhere tonight, so we have thrown away nearly $80 worth of food. Think twice before ordering from Fairy Bird.

Have ordered from here in the past and had no issues, however tonight the delivery driver decided to give our food to some random who was out the front of our house. When I called to query the delivery, the lady on the phone told me that yes she had delivered the food, she remembered she gave it to a man who walked 10 metres down the street. I know their website say "Contactless Delivery" but this is just ridiculous. She then told me she will cook the food again and deliver in 30 minutes. When I asked for the order to be cancelled and to get a refund she argued that she would cook it again. We had already waited over an hour for the food so was not willing to wait any longer. Eventually she said she would contact Menulog to sort it. Needless to say we contacted Menulog direct to ensure this was dealt with correctly.

Our first experience with this place today. I just want to say: this isn’t Chinese food, this is bland “Chinese influence” Aussie food. I mean, not even the veggies are sliced the Chinese way. We Ordered fried rice which I’m pretty sure was boiled (maybe boiled and tossed in a pan with no oil for 5 seconds), and two noodle boxes drenched in liquid where both the king prawns and beef seemed boiled. Blandest food pretending to be Asian we have ever had. Please visit the city or inner suburbs every now and then, a business should keep itself informed and competitive. Pricey as well for what you offer. We will NOT repeat the experience of purchasing from FB. The only reason I didn’t give one star for this insulting appropriation of Chinese food is because at least it seemed fresh.

We just ordered close to $100 worth of food from this shop only to throw the majority out and go buy Maccas. The Wontons were burnt and dry with almost no filling, the chicken skewers were not cooked all the way through and looked raw, spring rolls were tasteless and doughy, curry puff was soggy and tasted pre frozen with a cold centre, steak was tough and veggies were soggy. The rice was barely a pass. All 3 adults that ordered were disappointed with their meals. We rebagged it all and put It in the bin. Very unhappy and would certainly not recommend. Our usual Asian takeout was closed tonight, so we tried some where different. No thank you.

I ordered takeaway from here last week. I ordered a vegetarian dish. All vegetables were on top, with sauce and plain noodles at the bottom. I did what anyone would do and mixed it up. The first mouthful to my horror, I crunched on a piece of metal, and broke my tooth. I contacted restaurant and was told someone would call me back but I still haven’t been contacted. I’m not only out of pocket $40 for the food I threw away. But $300 for the dental fees due to my tooth! Avoid.

We have been having enjoying our Chinese from Fairy Bird for years. They are friendly with excellent service. I love the freshness of the vegetables which you can tell have been prepared in house ( no frozen here) The quantity of meat you get is incredible. I love the way I can alter a dish by request to suit my own taste. I should say mine and my dogs as I I feed him with chicken and vegetables NO onions and he eats every morsel. Yes carrots broccoli and the rest. Thank you so much for the years of fantastic food and service.

Ordered Mongolian veges and noodles for my elderly Mum and she couldn’t eat it as it was so hot. I’ve never had a Mongolian sauce that was red in colour and chilli hot. The dish was 90 % noodles and looked like tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce. Rang to talk to them about it and was rudely told to add water. No thanks. It went in the bin. An expensive restaurant with inferior quality meals.

Having tried all of the local Chinese takeaway to us, we found Fairy Bird on doordash, and we are so glad we did! The dishes all had so much flavour and plenty of food in each container. Meat was tender and not chewy. Wontons were very crunchy and not oily. The only, very small downside was the sauce in the meat and vegetables was a bit salty, but overall we will order again.

Overcharged for the meal via credit card, when it arrived it was cold and dumplings weren't cooked properly! To top it off the order was wrong and the food really average. They offered to refund my meal however someone turned up at my house an hr later and gave me $10 because that all the boss would allow. Would never order from here again!

The Red Duck Curry I ordered the first time was very fatty and flavourless. I thought I'd give them a second chance tonight, but the Beef Rendang was more like beef in a thin spicy gravy. Nothing like any Rendang I've had before. Twice disappointed, twice shy.

Fairy Birdy has been a fortnightly staple for as long as I can remember. Living in Aspendale and Edithvale, then moving to Seaford - we continue to order and pickup as they are undoubtedly the best in the area in terms of flavour, service and price. I wholeheartedly recommend any dish, you will not be disappointed.

This has been the best meal delivered in a long long time. I could not fault a dish. Delivered hot and fresh. Flavours were spot on and leaving me wanting more. Portions were more than ample though. Can not recommend highly enough.

When I was a kid my mother would get us food from here, we moved over seas for 12 years. The first thing I did when I came back was go to fairy bird and got food, still tastes the same, great food. People just like complaining I think but I grantee you will love it

We ordered garlic prawns, beef with oyster sauce, combination fried rice and steamed rice and let me tell you that it had no flavour at all. Garlic prawns and rice smelt weird and it friggin cost me $61 just to get thrown in the bin. Not happy

Been a regular for years good consistent Chinese takeaway love the flavours and the friendliness of there customer service nothing is ever a issue.

Always the best Chinese take away. I have been going to Fairy Bird for around 20 years now. Over this time I have moved houses and tried local Chinese restaurants and always came back to Fairy Bird

Fantastic Chinese!!! Beautiful beef and black bean sauce mixed with bean shoots and fried rice cooked perfectly with a generous serve along with incredible customer service! Thank you so very much!

I wouldn’t say the fried rice was “fried”, more steamed and really lacked in flavour and very light on the ingredients. Chicken noodle was bland too and as was the other dish we ordered.

Reliably fantastic delivery of great food.

The absolute best Chinese food I have had in Melbourne and that after living in Carnegie .. was delivered on time and just perfect .. good work guys x have a safe Easter x

Paid $40 for 2 dishes and wontons. The special fried rice had absolutely no flavour. Will not be buying from here again. The wontons had no filling. Very disappointing!

Consistently great Chinese food, love all the dishes we have had here. Great to just grab some dumplings or a mixed veggies to add to dinner at home

I order from Fairy Bird weekly as the food tastes amazing and all the staff are so friendly. 10/10 in every area I look forward to it every week.

Sometimes good are not the best… inconsistent quality of food. At this time, the sweet and sour pork we got was not cooked properly.

Never ever ever, never never ever, never never never will I go to this restaurant again because I do not want to fall sick again.

As far as Chinese food goes, this place is great. Really good quality. Lemon chicken and Chicken with vegetables are favourites.

Last night I purchased the Sweet & Sour dinner box with fried wontons. The food was superb, will be definitely going back.

Awesome amazing wonderful! I will always return whenever I’m in the area. No doubt full marks for everything

Banquet for 4, home delivered. Absolutely delish. Thank you so much. Love from Door XXXXXX
