    I went to Humble Rays a couple of days ago. I’ve been here before, and as always, the food is absolutely delicious. This place has some of the best food I’ve tasted in Melbourne. However, the staff decided to let a couple enter the restaurant with a dog. I understand that Melbourne weather isn’t the best but the dog was continuously barking inside the cafe to the point where it became distracting and irritating. It was a shame because this place is amazing and the staff attended me nicely.

    Super friendly service and great food. I love that you can book the table and don’t have to wait in a queue. Weekends are pretty busy.

    The food is great. Service is excellent. We did not have to wait long to be seated though we had made a booking and arrived an hour earlier. Will be coming back here more often

    Got the eggs benny which was good with the pumpkin korreke but it would’ve been a lot better with toast or a croissant as the pumpkin with the pork belly made it a bit too sweet. But overall good experience

    Had the white scrambled egg on Asian soy sauce rice, it was nice but too expensive for the simple serving of what's inside, almost same price of Eggs Benny which I had before and the Pancake but cost and taste wise there's so much difference but nonetheless it's still an ok dish. First time trying their coffee as I had dirty chai before, coffee is also an OK drink. I still have a good high rating for this cafe as an overall experience

    Love this place. Never disappoints and always great service with a smile. Food is excellent. Will visit more frequently now that it’s a bit easier to book in advance for smaller tables
