I was having my mango loco drink at Box Hill Central, trying to enjoy it, but pigeons were a real problem. They weren't just hanging around – they were gobbling up people's chips in the food court. Pigeons were standing on tables and even flapping around, making a mess. The food court, supposed to be a nice place to eat, turned into a bird battleground. The smells of different foods were overshadowed by the chaos caused by these birds. It was kind of gross seeing pigeons on tables and leaving their mark on everything. Box Hill Central needs to do something about these pigeons. It's not cool to have them taking over the eating areas. People want to enjoy their food without dealing with birds and the mess they bring. Fixing this pigeon problem would make the place way more pleasant for everyone. This is an utter disgrace, disgusting to eat here, bad smells and pigeons everywhere. Get me out.

This place is amazing. So many Asian restaurant in the mall. They also have supermarkets and fresh foods. Easy excess to public transportation and connects directly with train as well. Couple of western fast food available around. Price for the foods and goods is reasonable too. Must visit if around this area.

Compressive and diverse food, grocery and all rounded offerings. The passageway leading up to Coles in the basement is a well crafted space.

Box Hill is a bustling suburban center located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. It is a vibrant and multicultural area, with a large Asian population and many authentic Asian eateries and shops. Box Hill has undergone significant development in recent years, with the construction of a new shopping center, high-rise apartments, and improved public transport links. The heart of Box Hill is its bustling shopping and dining precinct, centered around the Box Hill Central shopping center. Here, you will find a wide range of shops, including major department stores, supermarkets, and boutique stores selling everything from fashion to homewares. The dining scene is equally diverse, with many authentic Asian restaurants and eateries offering a range of delicious cuisines. Highly recommended.

Box Hill Central has been refurbished to catch up with other shopping centres. Much nicer and neater with good air circulation. Several upmarket food venues popping up. Carpark still a big issue on busy days and hours.

Box Hill was such a lovely place before. The Whitehorse plaza had a fountain and was beautiful 33 years ago. They renovated and added Box Hill Central. For a while it was great, especially for public transport users. Then a lot of shops started changing and the Asian shops came in. More and more until I felt like an alien foreigner in my own country. I no longer go there because I feel so unwelcomed, so uncomfortable, and etc. I have lived here for 33 years, born here in Melbourne, I should not be feeling like this but I do. Just look at the people, there should be a mixture of different cultures but now its dominated by one.

Honestly for such a hyped up place, i expected a bit better cleanliness, the food court floors and tables are always dirty or sticky, getting stuck to your clothes or hands. NOT AT ALL, the fault of the cleaners, as they were working incredibly hard, but there was only one cleaner that we could see, at peak shopping time who was working so hard, but alas the amount of people coming in and out was too much for anyone person to manage to keep the place clean.

Everything goes up so much everywhere. The central has done renovations recently and got a face lift. There are high rise buildings all around. Occasionally you may get some bargains on meals etc.

Almost all shops of shops I've been to have charged surcharge, including fast food, market, and bakery. It's good to see Boxhill station didn't charge surcharge on topping up my myki. "Make sure always bring cash when you come to box hill"

For a popular place with lots of shopping options and especially Asian food, I felt the management needs to make sure the amneties are well looked after and clean. I do understand the place gets super busy but I think its quite not there if toilets are that disgusting, no signs for blocked ones and ugh... I lost my appetite that day. I hope it was an isolated event though. Besides that the place is buzzing, food court is appealing and has access to bus and train services via it's complex. Nice.

A predominantly Asian and Chinese influenced shopping mall adjacent to the somewhat more modern Centro shopping mall. There are also other great Asian influences, including boutiques, restaurants, cafés and eateries in the surrounding area. Atop the Box Hill railway station, this shopping centre still retains a somewhat retro vibe.

Box Hill Central was recently renovated. There are Coles, Woolworths, chemist warehouse, Priceline, Specsaver, Myhealth Box Hill, Breadtop, Bonbon, Macdonald and many others. You can find wide variety of Asian restaurants and Asian grocery stores inside the mall and surrounding it. This place is always busy, parking can be a challenge during peak hours, free parking are limited. There are $1 per hour parking inside the mall.

Great new addition to the place. Really turning into another CBD

Haven't been to Box Hill for many a year. Off the train up the escalator and I was in Asian heaven. The food and smells was fantastic. Great food of all kinds.

It is a big China town. Large market area is a good place for fresh fruit/vegetables and groceries shopping. Also lots of meat, poultry, fish shops to choose from. Many Chinese restaurants surrounded make it more attractive. Good location and easy public transport. Actually it is built on top of the train station and also a hub for major buses.

Very run down . Need to provide more Free Hand Sanitizers & Wipes to All Visitors/ Customers at All Strategic Places & Entrances , Toilets, etc ... To Provide High Standard of Personal Hygiene during the Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) Pandemic .

Convenience, it has bus, tram and expressed train to CBD. The city is a bit old and a small. Good place for Asian grocery, food and restaurants. Walking alone outside the shopping can a bit unsafe at night. Highly recommend you don't leave valuable belonging in the car at the underground car park.

Fair variety of Japanese & Korean products, however there are no price tags so you have to ask the staff for the price. Came across an unfriendly & inpatient & impolite salesperson (Kathy appears on the receipt). My shopping experience there was unpleasant, will not visit there again !

Can be very difficult to navigate. That's my biggest issue. You can follow all the signs, yet still not find your way to where you're going. There are some great shops here, however, albeit a little overpriced. Location is convenient too.

Good quality Asian food are found here. Good to walk around the place too and close to the train station to go to more places 💪🏾

If you’re looking for a place that sells Asian food, here’s the place! They have lots of delicious desserts and lots of Asian markets!!! Please come here if you’re looking for somewhere that’s different (In a significant way, though...)! The parking quality is also excellent… no matter what, you can always find a parking spot here!

Great little place to go and visit. Very multicultural and some great little take away shops for food. Will be going under some extensive renovations and looks like it will look fantastic. Is overdue for renovations, and a new section has just opened which is great

Thriving with Asian food and I love the Market. You can feel the Nihao ma vibes! Talk about frozen flower!

This part of Box Hill is the transport hub for train and bus services but also a great place for tantalising Asian food aplenty. There are so many small food stalls l would call them for eat in the food court or take away. So many interesting looking stall menus which l feel that there would be something for any appetite.

Look everything about boxhill as an eating heaven I really love! There is a variety of Asian Food and desert. But the toilets especially the one near the men’s haircut store and opposite the myhealth clinic in boxhill central needs to be clean, sometimes no toilet paper sometimes stank(in need of an upgrade too)

Great place to get a haircut and pick up chinese /taiwanese take out

A nice place but doesn't have a huge range of variety.

I would put no stars if I could. This place smells so bad. I thought it was just the first level but no every level the smell got worst. It has to be checked out because it couldn’t at all be safe to have a shopping centre smell so badly I walked out after 5mins I couldn’t handle it. I find it weird you are stared at and hated on for not being Asian I mean we are in Australia. Seriously though I’ve put in a complaint with the health inspector because whatever is going on in that shopping centre needs to be checked out the smell is beyond explainable. How does everyone keep shopping and working like it doesn’t exist?

It's a bit of a confusing layout like a rabbit Warren easy to get lost

I love the place. Lots of outlets to choose from. Very accessible location.

Great place to get your groceries and Asian food products and items. Plenty of eatiers for all different Asian food cuisines.

Horrible shopping centre - one of the worst in Melbourne. Lacks charm, is vulgar in the extreme, nothing to make one feel comfortable, is altogether an abomination.

Good shopping centre. Close and convenient with the train station and lots of chinese shops to explore

买一次性盒装

Quiet little shopping plaza with a variety of stores to choose from for any need possible and a great variety of food and coffee shops to keep you going.

Lots of eatery

(Translated by Google) well (Original) 很好

Great experience ?

It's good but there are ppl smoking so there is lots of smoke

Very disorganized

?

Box Hill central is one of the biggest and neatest mall which I have seen in Australia, Its very nice and have a good source of transport to all over the places in Australia. I liked it very much my only problem is that I couldnt find any boards on the railway station for searching the other transports.

It's just outdated...

(Translated by Google) It is more suitable for Chinese shopping, and most shops provide Chinese-speaking services. Chinese seniors, especially those who are not easy to communicate in foreign languages, can recommend shopping here. (Original) 这里比较适合华人购物，大多数店铺都有提供华语服务。年长者华人特别是外语交流不太方便的华人，可以推荐来这里购物。

Security just sit around and look at the girls walking pass. Music played over the pa is just so inappropriate for the seniors that frequently shop at the centre. Management has to change this has been a ongoing issue it’s just a club house for the security that’s been there a while to sit around and perv at the woman that shop there

Good ???

Everything literally everything is here

Awesome Asian food

Parking rip-off

Too crowded

Great fresh veg market and terrific prices. Got all my fresh goods very cheaply.

All in one?

Good shopping atmosphere

Car park is filled with dirty masks and gloves

(Translated by Google) Things are expensive. (Original) 东西贵．

Amazing location, just next to box hill station. Also has ample parking with inexpensive parking charges @ 1$ per hour.

Again, mantain social distancing. I think Victoria police should appoint scouts in shopping malls so that social distancing is assured. I believe still a lot of people do not understand the concept of social distancing.

(Translated by Google) Many foods are delicious (Original) 很多食物都很好吃

(Translated by Google) It is very convenient for the Chinese. If you don’t want to pay the parking fee, it will be extremely difficult to park. The toll parking lot usually has a place. (Original) 对华人来说很方便了。只是不想付停车费的话就会超级难停车，收费停车场倒是通常都有位置。

A great place to spend time.

Hair cut and cheap and fresh fruit and vegetables

Service is horrible !!

If you love Chinese food, give this place a visit.

Very amazing place with all services

Lots of food. Yummy

Always good! Able to shop and buy everything as required.

Nice shopping with plenty of Chinese good

Pretty good area for Chinese essentials, parking is easy to find with alot of spots available. If you need Asian food this is the place to go to grab a bite or a drink.

A bit haphazard but some good shops and great food there

Plenty of fantastic individual shops which bump up my rating but the place itself is dingy and old-feeling. The closure of Big W with no replacement for months makes it feel like it’s dying. I’m hoping for a solid revival sometime soon.

A shopping centre packed full of many different stores (some with an Asian preference, so if you like Asian groceries you'll be happy here). The local train station is underneath, a team line runs just down the road, and there's plenty of parking available. Plus, you still have access to plenty of stand-alone stores as well!

Nice place. Good variety of Asian food places and shops. Wet market is great and convenient as well. No need to go very far.

I don't know what it is but a small complex that's fairly congested they have to do something about this. All and all a good place for Asian cuisine and groceries. I will be back again

This shopping centre was once a really good place to shop and eat.. No Big W or Harris Scarfe anymore made it the last straw for me. The locals totally ruined this place !

Great range of cheap, fresh fruit and veg options

Great for good quality fresh meat, fish and vegetables. The vegetables in particular are of a higher quality than we’ve found in other comparable shopping centres.

Quiet, seems to just be a place full of take-away food stores. Was a stop-over for a bus/train transport change

It's fine, but it needs more variety.

interesting wide variety of food & clean environment.

Love this place. It's like they put all Asians countries in one place. Great food, fruit and veggies, grocers and many more.

Not bad! Lots of lovely food here! But need refresh some public constructions as well.

Best place in the East to get Asian groceries and regional Chinese food.

Many food choices seems like I am back in China! Authentic and delicious food.

Stepping out of the train station, I felt like I was in China, but with more money in my pocket, from not having to pay the airfare. Looked like lots of yummy food, but I had already eaten 😫 Check out my Comedy! Search.. Gary Diamond Comedy .. In Google 😂

My go-to place when I need to do Asian grocery shopping. Always big purchase, lots of yummy food, fresh vegetable, fruits. I wish it's renovated better as Doncaster or Glenwavery shopping centre to be more enjoyable and spend more time and money.

It has most of the stuff you'd expect from a shopping center but it lacks a department store like Big W or K Mart, but it has an integrated train station, so if you want one of those, just go a few stops up/down the line and you'll probably find one. Or drive for like 10 mins, because such stores aren't too far away. This place has really good Asian restaurants though. I suggest carrying cash, as many prefer it as a payment method. My personal suggestion is Kitchen Republik, I've got a review for that up already but the short and skinny of it is that it's kind of like a syndicated mini foodcourt with a unified menu that lets you buy from any of the places within it. One of the few places in Melbourne that sells authentic Xiao Long Bao.

It is a bit better than before, but still got room to improve. That's why they r doing big project to get the place better. Looking forward to seeing the improvements.

i did not see the sign and I fell down two steps and hurt myself. The next day i rang to report my fall and they made bad mistakes on the incident report and alao refused to give me a copy of the video of my fall. I am still sore two and a half weeks later. I hurt the nerve in my elbow, and got brusied snd swollen down my right side, hurt my ankle . O asked them to do a make safe to prevent other falls and they have not done so. The sign theirs acknowledgement they no their is a problem but they have not done enough to prevent falls.it .

It's a train station AND an Asian food hub, double delish 👌

Wow has Box Hill Grown & Changed!! Loved it before & even more now after renovations!! So much to see / Restaurants to Eat / Fresh Produce & Cute shops to buy gifts for Family & Friends!!! Love it!!! The whole area of Box Hill has Grown & changing all the time I visit!! Come & have a look sometime Kind Regards Lena from Brisbane 😉🌴☀️

Heaps of yummy Asian food here, lots of fresh produce and more well worth a visit. Plenty of parking.

Good shopping mall at boxhill, you can find most of the things you need to buy there.

A friendly, happy time at Box Hill Town Hall voting. We pray for a fair and just King!!!

Love it can find all stuff I need for cooking! Lots of Asian groceries, and new view, in the back of it.

Box Hill Central has so many great shopping 🛍 experiences, you'll be delighted with the Asian influences & multi cultural backbone which gives this place real boost, enjoy the best selection of so many different flavours. 🤗🍲🥗🫔🌯🥣🍔🍕🥪🌭🍟

It's actually pretty cool here. Probably my favourite shopping district. So many unique stores. However, this place has 1000% more potential. I hope the planners and management can figure it out. Look to the major cities people. Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing. We can do so much more here.

Good for Asian grocery shopping including cheaper veggies as prices in supermarkets are climbing up the walls. There are many food stores to choose from and bubble tea places. Parking can be an issue here. Most of the time people just pay for parking as you are guaranteed to get a spot.

Under renovations. I do hope when the work is done it will be an impressive place. The upper food court was sad -all closed around lunch time. Weird layout of a shopping centre. Maybe the renovations will improve this too

Feel like you are in a Asian mall Plenty of chinese businesses and restaurants The train station connects the mall

Many shoppers Love the markets Convenience to bus and train Also trams. Boxhill Central is blessed with no cinemas or any major entertainment zones... Little disappointed

Great customer service! I was in the evening at the station without battery but with my own charger and the office worker allowed me to use their power socket. Also a lot of Asian food places open until late in the evening. I truly didn't mind waiting for the bus since there were many things to see iin the meantime.

This used to be my local, but now I only come here periodically. Awesome if you want sketchy hamburgers immediately before catching a train. Lots of other good stuff too, particularly if you need really obscure asian grocery ingredients for a recipe you found online.

If you looking for a desk, room, or business office, Boxhill HUB is the best location for the start. There are different options for a membership like a dedicated desk, casual membership, and full membership. Depending on the area and desk you will charge.

Box Hill Central is having good branding stores. You will get to see an amazing view while sipping up your coffee. The only worst section was washroom. Was not at all cleaned, not maintained, hygiene was not maintained. That was the most yucky part. Rest is good place to seat and work with laptop. Quite spacious.

Has become rundown, needs a rethink as to the lack of variety in the shops. Box Hill has a very high population of Asian people with heaps of Asian cafes serving beautiful meals. During my working days I had many of my daily meals here, the different cultures were greatly appreciated. Now it's all Asian except for the very popular Subway outlet. I enjoy Asian tucker but cannot have it everyday.

Box Hill Central has been improving so much in many ways such as the interior, cleanliness and quality of merchandise. The restaurants inside the mall are quality ones, which benefit us customers. This is truly “one stop shop” for Box Hill residents and general public nearby. Parking could be challenging, feeling like driving in Asia. All in all, we love Box Hill Central and hope they continue striving for more happy customers. Highly recommended 👍

Good place for grocery shopping and eat, BUT no Big-W, no Target or Kmart? also we couldn't find any clothing / fashion stores?

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Box Hill Central, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! This bustling shopping center proved to be a true haven for both locals and visitors like me. Here's why I had such a fantastic experience:

There's quite a lot going on here. Excellent variety of Asian food and shops. Maccas and a couple of nice cafes with lovely cakes are just next to the train station entry/exit.

Its a good experience for box hill central, being through it at different times of the day but it is quiet busy all the times due to easily Availability of every sort of outlet which is much beneficial in term of time-saving. Say catching a bus and having food can be at same spot. Supermarkets and chemist warehouse is also available for emergencies.
