Nice little Indonesian restaurant hidden near Wattle Park. It's just at the 70 tram stop destination at River dale Road. I ordered the egg noodle with chicken and mushroom. I must say it tasted really good. The noodles was nice and soft and the chicken and mushrooms were delicious. Yes, I would come back again and try the other food.

As a food enthusiast, I was pleasantly surprised by the Mpek Mpek sampler at Famili Ria Restaurant. The mix of flavors and textures was well executed and the accompanying sauces added an extra layer of flavor. The Nasi Goreng Famili Ria was a standout dish, with a well-balanced blend of spices and a generous serving size. The Pangsit Goreng was also a highlight, with a tasty filling and a satisfying crunch. The kerupuk udang, or shrimp crackers, were a nice touch and added an interesting flavor to the meal. Overall, the food at Famili Ria Restaurant was enjoyable and the friendly service and atmosphere only added to the positive dining experience.

This is the best empek2 in Melbourne fish cake indonesian the best and the place just renovated so spacious now, close to home. Usually going here for lunch or even takeaway, friendly restaurant and highly recommended, the noodles are very delicious similar to hometown

A simple dining place just outside the last stop for tram 70 on riversdale road. 👍 quite authentic taste of the grilled curry chicken and good pempek palembang that's not common to find in Melbourne 👎 eventhough it was not busy, the kitchen forgot one of our orders and we waited so long for what can be done in 10 mins, until we decided to ask 👎Pretty much self service for everything 👎no warning on how spicy the dish van be so unless your familiar with Indonesian dish, please ask the level of spiciness or get yourself a surprise 😮 Menu as at 12Aug2023

Nice Indonesian eatery with a decent selection of food. The fish cake is amiss try. The texture is smooth yet filling and goes very well with the sauce. The chicken noodle is very spicy and appetizing while the grilled chicken is tender and nicely marinated. Only gripe I have is the interior of the place is very sterile and doesn’t add to any of the mood for a nice meal.

Empek Empek In Melbourne Empek Empek is the famous fried fish cake from Indonesia that is super hard to find here in Melbourne. Family Ria not only serve this bad boy but also has one of the best tasting one! Would recommend my fellow Indonesian to find this place and have a go at it. For the Australians people, if you are looking for a hearty snack that taste umami with spicy sour sauce? You should try the famous Indonesian fish cakes.

Food was great, price also affordable. Lots of choices, but pempek is the best in town. I had the chicken noddles, added the special sambal, and the taste became more delicious. Chicken honey also good. Friendly service, the food came pretty quickly. The place is clean, and plenty of parking space around. Located just in front of tram stop (tram no 70 to docklands). Highly recommended.

Had short visit for first time in this hidden gem Indonesian restaurant. You must try mpek2 as it’s the best one in whole Melbourne 🥹 amp not joking ✌🏼 Me also take away one more portion for mpek2 sampler with otak2 oh so good. and my bestie take away 2 mpek2 sampler and 1 ayam bakar mash. It’s worth it for us coming along way Heathmont and Moone Ponds for this delicious food 🤤 My tip to avoid crowded is come around 3ish - 4ish is less peoples. Obin will service you with his friendly and big smile 😃 Definitely will be back again for order more dishes 😁

My go to restaurant when I crave for bakmi. Special shout out to the guy who served me today (Saturday 21st Oct 2023), his service was beyond five star. It’s a humble little restaurant but he served everyone as if it was a 5 star hotel restaurant. His employer is lucky to have him. Hope the owner gets to see this. Give that man a raise please 😜

It has the best fried rice, must try! All other foods are also good, especially the fish cake. The place is always clean with friendly staffs. Love it! Thank you!

Best pempek in Melbourne and I always order it with a side of mie ayam pangsit. So filling but worth it. Definitely not there for the ambiance or decor but the food speaks for itself. Can't wait to return.

The place was very easy to find. For people who are not familiar with Indonesian dish the photos of dishes are quite helpful. We went there at dinner time, the food was quickly served, we ordered fishcake omelette, mixed beef ball soup needle, octopus balls and vegetables. For us, the food was a bit too sweet when savoury taste was expected. Other then that, the restaurant is clean and quiet, recommend for those who would like to try something different from Chinese food in Box Hill.

Delicious local and authentic food! Loved every dish. Will definitely be coming back again for dinner. Staff were super friendly and accomodating when my partner asked if he could change the mixed meat balls just beef balls to accomodate his dietary requirements.

If you are in the area and looking for some great Indonesian food, check into Famili Ria! Great taste and reasonably priced
