10. Junior Tan Hawker Kitchen
Overall Ratings

Why is Junior Tan Junior Tan? Because there are two Tans and they together run this High Street Malaysian Hawker joint to an excellent business standard.Front of house gives good impressions and prompt service. The blackboards for specials are well-used and there are essentially six of them.The menu runs to some four columns and the drinks menu would be separate. One criticism of the drinks menu would be that the tea is hard to find if you are reading logically - which is a pity because the four tea selections [ours was cherry tea and it does have a good backtaste] cater for many tastes; especially those who appreciate fruity flavours like peach; mango and cherry. Coffee and iced stuff is easy to find which is appreciated on an unseasonably hot day like 20 September 2019's afternoon proved to be.The second impression proves to be a friendly crowd and good corner seats for two people near the kitchen and the toilet. The decor in Junior Tan stands out because there are Malaysian and Cantonese cult heroes walled up in decoupage - I believe they are calendar people.The service is straight; honest and no-nonsense. They take time to remember and repeat what you ordered - in this case it was S[alt] and P[epper] Squid for 12.50 [one of a line of many such meals - real choice in the seafood area in the streamlined menu which is well-designed] and Seafood Rice.The rice is clumpy and good to eat with chopsticks and mix with the aioli/orange mix. The squid is probably about 8 or 9 pieces well-battered and relatively light.The prawns are relatively well-cooked and there are squid and other things to enjoy - some minor colour given through lettuce similar to that at the Bayswater Fresh store.Unique offerings include extensive Milo selections winning over the customers. And the grape jelly might not be too bad either.Soft drinks are fairly valued at $3.50-$4.00 and some of the meals push over from Cheap Eats to Mid-Range territory.Good for banquets; business and groups.Junior Tan probably needs better sightlines.Junior Tan is probably the most popular of the three restaurants in High Street; the other two being 24 Spices and the pizza store which runs specials from 1100 to 1400.The rice portion is generous.I did not see too many condiments or a place to get them - the tables are small and good for listening. And I do not think the tables would take too much pressure.Highchairs are available though they are of the basic and washable type that would probably make a small person feel like they were in prison.Probably better to sit on one of the low bucket seats in front if you like the view from the window - you do get a view of Mount Dandenong and the Bayswater Station, as well as the now-destroyed Youth Centre. I imagine lots of people would come through on foot traffic or on the train - definitely a destination spot if you appreciate Malaysian/Singaporean/Hokkien/"Straits Times" food.This is why I love the Junior Tan and would most possibly come again.Their edge couches are well-made.Another aesthetic I appreciated was the tumbler for the chocolate mousse and fruit compote which consisted of chopped strawberry and blueberry. More than worth its $6.50 and its place on the specials board. [there are three other sweets which would not be considered "special" though probably truer to Malaysian hawker style].One tip for September 2019: Jessica and her wall work is on Mountain High on the Junior Tan side - this is part of Knox's Immerse "Art in unexpected places".

Worst Chinese food we ever had, even the noodles were burnt. Overpriced terrible food, in a setting from the 1970's. Keep on driving, give thus place a miss.

Visited this place for 1st time without reading any review hence this review has no influence from others. Location: A bit out of town but not too far of travelling. Is nearby Mt Dandenong actually. Good thing is not much trafficService & Environment :Went in for dinner and not much of crowd. We almost have the whole place by ourselves. The service is fast & good and you can stay for as long as you wish. No one will give you pressure to leave.Food :Food portion is good size and is value of money. Best of all the quality and taste is much better than any big restaurant around. Will return? For sure! This will be our next dinning place with friends.

Small restaurant in a strip of shops. Lovely tasty food, good service, friendly, helpful staff. Good idea to book ahead as there are limited tables. Good perking in the street or behind.

Went here as we were looking for new Thai restaurant as our local has gone downhill badly. TA reviews were good and we werenât disappointed. Service was prompt friendly and efficient. Food came out quickly and was quite tasty. Menu recommendations by wait staff were appreciated. Only negative was that they are a bit stingy on the roti. We will definitely be back. Prices reasonable.

First of all this restaurant is now in Monbullk it hasn't been in Olinda for about 12 months, same owners Silvia and Albert and the food is the same very good with good service and a very busy take away which is now separate from the dinning area which is lot better. I would recommend booking as its normally full on the weekend.

I have always come past the Olinda tea house but on the occasions we tried it was closed. Today was our lucky day. We stopped off for lunch and the food, service and style was perfect. Attentive, fast service. Delicious food. Gorgeous surroundings despite the freezing cold weather. A definite go to and will 100% come back - especially when warmer.
