The ambience is beautiful and the customer service was friendly.

Not being overly hungry we ordered just a main dish each; my wife got the fish with noodles while I ordered the chicken with vermicelli noodles. The fish wasn't a hit but the chicken was smooth and salivating all the way through! It reminded me of Indian flavours I inhaled during my childhood!

The prices at Bopha Devi are reasonable and I would recommend this place to anyone down at the Dock and looking for some good pan asian food.

Just had a fantastic dinner tonight at Bopa Devi. Highly recommend the pork ribs - everything was delicious! Staff uber friendly and great with kids. We didn't have any with us but watched three other couples with theirs and the wait staff were awesome. Even bringing them out a flashing watch as a gift. Super cute.

Approximate cost: $49

The best thing about this place is the service. Portions are reasonable and food is yummy. If you are a person who likes extra sauce make sure you tell as otherwise there is no way near enough sauce on the plate!

Approximate cost: $25

Bopha Devi - absolutely amazing.
We went here last night for a meal before a concert at Edihad Stadium and the food was to die for! We are still talking about how wonderful it is today.

We made an online booking for Bopha and arrived just before 6pm. We were quickly seated and given water, menus and offered drinks. We ordered 3 entrees to share which arrived quickly (about 10 minutes later) of corn cakes, tofu rice paper rolls and K'dom -Chicken and crabmeat rolled together in crispy bread. The taste was fresh, authentic and arrived hot.

For our mains we ordered:

Char Kroeung with tofu and crushed peanuts, lime leaves, lemongrass, turmeric, onion, bean shoots, beans, carrots and capsicum served with steamed rice. This meal was extremely flavourful and fresh. As a vegetarian, my choices of dishes are often very limited (like 2 max) but Bopha had 7 options for me - very impressed.

My partner had Char Mee Battambang with beef (recommended by the waiter) which is Wok-fried vermicelli noodles with carrots, Asian broccoli, Chinese cabbage, bean-sprouts, shallots, garlic, sweet soy-sauce and egg. He commented this had a great depth of flavour and tasted like Cambodian street food.

We finished our meal with a scoop of green tea ice-cream. It was lovely but sadly brought in - the only tiny disappointment of the night. Since Bopha prides itself on fresh food, some home made ice-cream would have sealed the deal and given this place 10/10.

All in all, a great experience food wise, the decor was interesting and top marks for the charity work - raising funds to build a library in Cambodia. We had an entertainment voucher (25% off) but we will definitely return and pay full price. Bopha Devi you are legendary!!

Approximate cost: $23.50

from the moment we walked in we were treated very well, the decor is lovely and the food very tasty, I have never had Cambodian food before but i would definately have it again at Bopha Devi which is situated in the Docklands,Melbourne.

I ended up dining here with the boyfriend after some shopping at Harbour town. The decor and atmosphere was quite nice, and everything had a contemporary Cambodian theme and was quite unique. It seems like a popular joint with the locals-we dropped when it opened for dinner and it filled up fairly quickly. For our mains, we got the Khmer Yellow Crepe and the boy got the Choo Chi. The menu was interesting and both serving sizes were generous, but I would have preferred for the crepe to have a richer flavour, the Choo Chi was superb though.

Similar style to Vietnamese. Corn cakes (Bort Chien) were quite good. Mains are fairly large but not terribly flavourful (we had the Bai Mouan and Mouan Ang). The decor is modern and clean. Staff were a little disorganised but it was a busy night. I'd recommend it as somewhere to eat at Docklands, but if you want great value Asian food, I'd probably go elsewhere. I've also been to the Yarraville restaurant and would give the same review - nice food and atmosphere but a bit plain and a bit expensive for what it is.

Approximate cost: $20

Had a quick dinner here on a cold, windy day. A lovely, small, intimate restaurant that has a homely feel to it. We ordered soup for mains to warm us up, which it did. Their dessert menu seems very interesting, I would have loved to have time to test it.

Yummy Cambodian food with a great calming atmosphere awaits you here. The decor adds to the Cambodian feel. The food is delightful although not huge serves. It is just off the main promenade.
