Paramount Food Court

Finally tried the food court and it was surprisingly not too bad. Haven’t tired all the shops yet but so far tried two of the restaurants and it was quite impressive. Food price is very cheap and taste good but portion wise not very generous. Still like the fact that you can get multiple items with low price.

Located in Chinatown. The food court is not particularly modern and perhaps a bit rundown but it has a certain charm and character. Excellent food options such as Sri Lankan, Thai, Korean. My favourite is the Sri Lankan place Ceylon Wok where you can choose up to two meat curries and rice for about $14. Thai food such as pad see ew is also quite good. Most of the food is Asian and all quite affordable. Beers are around $5 each. It is my favourite food place to get lunch when I come up to Melbourne.

Will definitely be coming back. Such a great place to try out different food, lots of seatings available, and just a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Great variety of Asian and Indian and Sri Lankan food

Fantastic food and a calm atmosphere , if you have got the time come on down and try some of the excellent food on offer , we go out of our way to eat here if traveling through the city

Feels like you’re transported back to the 80’s the moment you stepped into the food court. A hidden gem in the CBD. Lots of choices ..Korean, Japanese, Thai etc..Always crowded during lunchtime. Not hard to see why it is so popular as the prices of the food are one of the most affordable you could find in the area.Spacious with lots of seatings. Go early or later to avoid the lunch crowd.

*Tried the Korean Bibimbap today. Simple & comforting in a cold & wet afternoon .Will be back to try other stores.

A food court that smells wonderful. You have couple of stalls to choose from. We tried Me Dee Thai restaurant and the food was good. Their fried rice was tasty and the red curry seem to be a bit watered down for my taste. But overall it’s a good place to visit for a quick bite when you are in the city.

Lovelu food court with so many options to eat Thai/Indian/Srilankan/Chinese. Me and my friend's tried Srilankan/Indian food there at Ceylon Wok and trust me it was delicious. We all literally enjoyed our dinner there , price was also reasonable. Overall it worth to visit.

We had cravings for Asian food and this place came recommended by a local Asian living in the city. Quite a gem of a food court, serving Thai, Indian, Sri Lankan, Chinese and Japanese. Prices are economical by Melbourne standard. We had Sri Lankan at Ceylon Wok, head over to the stall and you’d see the boss smiling at you. We had Thai too. It was authentic, delicious and packs a punch. We had the Tom Yum noodle soup and the papaya salad. The papaya salad left us sweating at areas we didn’t know we could.

Clean, retro-look Asian Food Court.

There are certain advantages to eating at a food court - no booking required, no time limit, no surcharge and great for groups with a variety of food taste.

Paramount food court is one of my regular - simply because it satisfy my hunger for deep fried whole fish Thai-style. At Mee Dee, deep fried Tilapia ($20) is ultra crispy, salted and comes with an addictive - tangy, salty, chilli hot - dipping sauce, that is simply fantastic with white rice. For the same price, you get crispy Tilapia with white rice, chilli sauce and steam vegetables at the Asiatique stall. Of course, this is also where I regularly get my favourite snacks - deep fried banana (Asian-style) and deep fried lotus root (Japanese-style). The latter is so much better than potato crisp (imho).

Note: It can get very busy during office lunch hours. Not all stalls open everyday.

Curry Laksa from the first Thai shop tastes good!

Great for a quick bite before catching the play at Princess Theater. Though I gotta say Korean dishes were neither good or authentic to be honest
