#1 Yen’s Restaurant — 72F Maroondah Highway, Croydon
Chinese
What makes it great: Nobody goes to Yen’s Restaurant for the decor. They go for portion sizes that respect your appetite. The menu is long. Ignore the front page — the back page is where the kitchen really talks. If this place were in Fitzroy, there would be a queue. In Croydon, you can still walk in.

#1 Fortune Palace — 1 The Mall, Croydon South

#1 Pei Ho Chinese Food — 416A Maroondah Highway
Chinese
What makes it great: Pei Ho Chinese Food opened quietly and got loud fast. Lunch service is the insider move. The specials board changes daily and the kitchen puts its best work there. Pei Ho Chinese Food does not need a rebrand or a renovation. It needs you to sit down and order.
