We really enjoyed our meal at Mr Good Guy Devonport. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was nice, and we had the best waitress, Ryley. Ryley was lovely, helpful and attentive; she really made our night. Thank you, Ryley and Mr Good Guy! p.s. the mango coconut ice cream was 11/10.

The chicken green curry sauce was too sweet , never seen before (in thai green curry) lumps of tomato , not authentic thai flavor and great chunks of chicken that had to be left . The Singaporeian Sweet & Sour Pork had no liquid (was dry), likely overcooked & no evidence of Pineapple (or other vegetable accompaniment) -impossible to eat more than 50%.

Hi Barry,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry you and your dining companion were so disappointed with your meals.

At Mr Good Guy, we take inspiration from across South-East Asia, with our own interpretation of the dishes. Our Singaporean sweet and sour pork has a sticky glaze that coats the pork, rather than a loose sauce, and our Thai green curry includes tomato and has a sweeter profile. However, I appreciate that these flavours and styles weren’t what you were expecting, and I’m sorry you left so much of your meals uneaten.

I was hosting on Friday evening, and while Morgan spoke with you about your concerns, I regret that I didn’t have the opportunity to speak with you personally. Thank you for giving us your honest feedback.

Warm regards,
Belinda Jardim
General Manager

Food consistently good. Stay in Devonport for work a lot. Yum Nua and Rendang particular standouts. Star off because I am AMAZED "coke Zero only comes in one size" (quote), and that I can drop $60 and not be able to order a pint. I drink water instead.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Darcy. It’s great to hear you keep coming back when you’re in Devonport for work, and that the Yum Nua and Rendang are still favourites.
I understand your frustration with the drink options, and we’ll take your feedback on board as we look at how our drinks are offered.
We hope to see you again on your next visit to Devonport.

I’d like to personally give 5 stars to Head Chef John and Ryley at the bar. Both were exceptional — genuinely friendly, personable and attentive, and their service made a noticeable difference to my overall experience. They are a real credit to the venue. Unfortunately, the experience took a significant turn at around 8:45pm on a Saturday night. I had to get the attention of the bartender to order another cocktail, only to be told that they had already stopped making cocktails for the evening. To be completely honest, this was a huge disappointment. For a Saturday night, and particularly for guests staying at the hotel, having the bar effectively wind down this early completely changes the atmosphere and falls well short of what I would expect from the venue. What was even more disappointing was what happened afterwards. After ordering standard drinks, the manager asked us to move away from the bar table. There was no issue with the staff personally — everyone was polite — but these seemingly small decisions have a very real impact on the customer experience. They send a clear message that the evening is over, even though it was still relatively early on a Saturday night. I think the venue genuinely needs to look at these details from a broader hospitality and business perspective. Guests staying at the hotel should feel encouraged to continue enjoying the venue, not subtly pushed out or made to feel that the service has already finished for the night. It’s disappointing because the staff members who were providing excellent service were doing everything right. But operational decisions like stopping cocktails at 8:45pm and asking guests to move from the bar area can completely undermine the atmosphere they have created. Ultimately, these decisions don’t just affect the customer experience — they also mean lost revenue. Guests who would otherwise stay for another drink, order another cocktail or continue enjoying the venue are instead given a reason to call it a night. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because there is clearly a strong team capable of delivering an excellent experience. The issue is that some of the venue’s operating decisions are cutting that experience short far too early.

We ordered the banquet because of decision fatigue …… best decision ever. Generous serves of delicious food kept coming. We could not finish the banquet. Highly recommended

We've tried this place many times, its very hit and miss. Unfortunately Saturday night was another miss. The food was average. We were offered complementary soup that never turned up. We won't be going back. Such a shame.

Allison, I’m really sorry we let you down again after you’d given us several chances. The food should be consistent, and the soup we offered should have reached your table. I understand why you’ve decided not to return.
Thank you for being honest with us. If you ever feel open to giving us another chance, please get in touch with me directly. I’d really value the opportunity to welcome you back and give you the experience you should have had.
