Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Four places in Mount Waverley had enough on the public record for us to stand behind them, and they are four different kitchens. One is Vietnamese, one serves chicken rice bowls with a Korean beef bulgogi option, one cooks Indian style Chinese food, and one is an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. We keep them apart in the entries below, because a first order makes more sense when you know which menu you are reading.
For each place you get the address, the dishes decoded in a line, the prices exactly as printed, and a first order. Two of the four, Great Eastern Hakka and Okami, are dinner-led, so check the hours they list before you plan a lunch.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Vietnamese roll, noodle soup or rice plate | Coco’s Banh Mi Bar | BBQ Chicken Banh Mi | A$12.65 |
| A chicken rice bowl with teriyaki and mayo | Smoky Hen Wood Fired Chicken | Original fried chicken rice bowl | $14.90 |

Coco’s Banh Mi Bar — Unit 1, 12 Hamilton Place, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Coco’s has no website of its own that we could find, so its menu here comes from DoorDash. A banh mi is a Vietnamese baguette roll, and DoorDash describes it as filled with “buttery mayo, pate, pickle carrots, daikon, cucumber, spring onion, coriander and sauce”. The BBQ Chicken Banh Mi is A$12.65 and the Crispy Roast Pork Banh Mi is A$13.80.
If you want a plate instead of a roll, the Beef Pho is A$20.70 and the Com Tam (Saigonese Broken Rice) is A$18.40. Pho is a noodle soup built on a beef broth; com tam is rice served with grilled or other toppings, and “broken rice” means the grains were fractured in milling. These are DoorDash platform prices, so the counter price may differ, and the store page showed “9:00 am - 3:10 pm” on 3 October 2026.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 3 October 2026):
- BBQ Chicken Banh Mi: A$12.65
- Crispy Roast Pork Banh Mi: A$13.80
- Beef Pho: A$20.70
- Com Tam (Saigonese Broken Rice): A$18.40
Decoder: banh mi is the baguette roll, pho is the noodle soup, and com tam is the broken rice plate.
Smoky Hen Wood Fired Chicken — 311 Stephensons Road, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Smoky Hen’s own menu lists the Original fried chicken rice bowl at $14.90, described as “Original fried chicken, teriyaki , mayo, cabbage salad, sesame dressing, pasta salad, with rice.” The Beef bulgogi rice bowl is $16.90 and is listed with “Korean beef bulgogi, cabbage, sesame dressing, pasta salad with rice.” Bulgogi is a Korean dish of marinated sliced beef.
The menu page’s browser title reads “Lunch special” while its visible heading is just “MENU”, so the Original fried chicken rice bowl at $14.90 and the Crunch fried chicken box at $14.90 may be lunch prices only. Its site lists a daily break time of “4pm-5pm”, and the page’s other hours entries disagree with each other, so check before a late-afternoon trip.
On the menu (copied from smokyhen.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Original fried chicken rice bowl: $14.90
- Crunch fried chicken box (2 wings + chips): $14.90
- Beef bulgogi rice bowl: $16.90
- Southern fried chicken burger meal: $24.90
Menu says: the Crunch fried chicken box is “2 wings + chips+ sauce + pickle” at $14.90, and the Southern fried chicken burger meal comes with chips and a drink at $24.90.
Great Eastern Hakka Restaurant — 319 Stephensons Road, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Great Eastern’s own site says “the flavours of Indian style Chinese food and Swedish food combine to present you with our eclectic menu”. Indian style Chinese cooking applies Chinese wok methods to Indian seasonings, and the menu shows it in dishes such as Chilli chicken, “Stir fried with fresh hot chillies, spring onion, onion in soy sauce”, at $24. Hakka fried chicken is described as boneless chicken “served with a chilli, garlic & ginger sauce” at $9.50 for 5 pieces.
The site also lists a “$25/PERSON LUNCH SPECIAL TUES-FRI 12PM-3PM”. Its hours list Tuesday to Sunday evenings and note that the kitchen closes half an hour before closing time, so check the times for your night.
On the menu (copied from greateasternhakka.com.au and greateasternhakka.com.au/starters-soups on 3 October 2026):
- Fried Rice - chicken: $21
- Chicken spring rolls (2 pcs): $9
- Chilli chicken (From The Wok): $24
- Hakka fried chicken (5 pcs): $9.50
Region: the site names the style as Indian style Chinese food, so that is the label we use; it does not tie the dishes to a single region.
Okami Japanese Restaurant Mount Waverley — 29-31 Centreway (Pinewood Shopping Village), Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Okami’s site calls it a “Family Style Japanese Restaurant”, and its store page lists an all-you-can-eat price of $42.80/person for adults. The all-you-can-eat child 9-12 price is $25.80/person, the all-you-can-eat child 4-8 price is $20.80/person, and the same listing shows children aged 0-3 as free. The page’s hours put dinner on Tuesday to Saturday and both a lunch and a dinner sitting on Sunday, each with a kitchen-close time earlier than the doors close.
Okami’s home page says its all-you-can-eat prices may vary by store and points you to the local store page, so confirm the Mount Waverley figure before you go. If you would rather order a single dish, the Chicken Katsu Don is $18.80, listed as “Crispy breadcrumbed chicken on rice.” A katsu is a breadcrumbed fried cutlet, and a don is a rice bowl.
On the menu (copied from okamirestaurant.com.au and doordash.com on 3 October 2026):
- All you can eat - adult: $42.80/person
- All you can eat - child 9-12: $25.80/person
- All you can eat - child 4-8: $20.80/person
- Chicken Katsu Don: $18.80
How to order: decide between the all-you-can-eat price and a single dish like the Chicken Katsu Don before you sit down, and ask which price applies at this branch.
Quick answers
Where can I get pho in Mount Waverley?
Coco’s Banh Mi Bar lists a Beef Pho at A$20.70 on its DoorDash page. Those are DoorDash platform prices, so ask at the counter if you are paying in person.
Which of these places is all-you-can-eat?
Okami Japanese Restaurant lists an all-you-can-eat price of $42.80/person for adults on its store page. The same page lists lower child prices by age, and Okami’s home page says prices may vary by store, so confirm before you book.
What is Indian style Chinese food?
It is a cooking style that pairs Chinese techniques, such as stir-frying, with Indian flavours. Great Eastern Hakka Restaurant describes its menu as combining “Indian style Chinese food” and Swedish food, and it lists dishes such as Chilli chicken at $24 and Hakka fried chicken at $9.50 for 5 pieces.
Are the prices on this page current?
They were copied on 3 October 2026, but two of them come with a warning. Coco’s prices are DoorDash prices, and Smoky Hen’s menu page carries the title “Lunch special”, so a price such as the Original fried chicken rice bowl at $14.90 may be lunch-only. Check with the venue before you go.
