Close to a 10/10 experience.
We came here with a gluten, dairy, onion & garlic intolerance and they were able to cater for us.
The service was close to perfect as the waiters were knowledgeable and helpful especially with the food intolerances. One of the ladies gave us a customised menu which showed us which foods we could and couldn’t eat.
We ordered the scotch fillet which was cooked medium rare without us asking how we wanted it cooked. Luckily, we love medium rare steak and this steak was phenomenal!🥩
We also ordered the fries / chips which tasted like McDonalds. We loved these.🍟
Lastly, we ordered the fried rice which tasted amazing. 🍚
Our order came to $187 including a $17 Sunday surcharge.
We would definitely would like to come back and definitely would recommend to others.
The only thing that’s stopped me from rating this five out of five, was that I asked if there was any decaffeinated espresso martini, and the waiter never got back to me. I also think the menu prices were a little high.
Thank you Coda.

We stumbled across this basement restaurant one afternoon - DJ was our friendly waiter. We tried 3 dishes: the Cheong fun with sesame, puff rice and cabbage with peanut sauce; the Cos hearts, wasabi peas with pomegranate; and the "Ma la" (numbing spice) lamb with roti.
Food was fusion, but with the right amounts of spice, flavour and refreshing mixture of tastes that made for a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.

I was quite excited when I coming into the Coda. The duck liver puff was the first came out which was delicious and got me excited for what is to come. But it turns out being the highlight of the night, the rest of the dishes were okay, but nothing outstanding. Service is fine and the atmosphere was lovely.
Lovely presentation of the meals with splendid combinations of flavours and textures. Down side was that the fish and the steak were a bit cold perhaps too long on the pass, also the fish had a few bones, the smoked chocolate just too smoky , duck pate superb, oysters wonderful, salmon gravlax with kafir lime beautiful
Food is exceptional. Best meal I’ve had for a very long time and I eat out a lot.
Every item we had was just so tasty and tantalising. The flavour combinations are sophisticated and so carefully matched and you can tell a lot of care has gone into preparing each dish. I can’t wait to go back and have in fact booked again next month.
Staff were very friendly amd knowledgeable about the menu and although could’ve been a little more attentive, on balance were probably right to give us space given we were with our young kids. They were very accommodating of us with the kids so can’t fault them.
Bravo.

Out of the restaurant with pregnant tummy from the food. So good so delicious.

My workmate has been raving about Coda for many times so I decided to celebrate my anniversary here and they did not disappointed!
All of the dishes we ordered were delicious with the right portion. Not too much but not too little and gives you the desire to want more of course.
It’s a bit pricey but expected as I’ve checked the menu. The foods are worth every penny though so no regrets and definitely will come back for special occasions!
I only wish I could get a seat at the dining area instead of the bar to be more comfortable. However, since the restaurant has limited spaces, it’s understandable that they prioritise bigger party at the dining area.

Food coma at Coda Melbourne!
Got a chance to try this Vietnamese Asian fusion restaurant by a recommendation from one of my friends. And oh boy they didn't disappoint.
While they couldn't offer the set menu I was after, the wait staff kindly suggested a combination of interesting dishes all of which were fabulous. My personal fav was definitely the lamb dish with the bread! I also think most of the dishes are designed to go along well with drinks because they were more on the salty side.
Being located at somewhat of an underground, the dimly lit surroundings go well. The music they played during our meal was also not too loud and just right.
Above all, the service offered by the wait staff was friendly, yet professional, and just flawless, including the spacing out of all the dishes we ordered.
My booking was at 6:30pm on a Saturday night for me and my girlfriend.

Once again, Coda didn't disappoint. Immaculate services by FOH staff (special thanks to Sam & Jasper), and the food was still fabulous as last time.
Highly recommended.
