ONDA Bar & Eatery

Desserts were great! Food was decent although portion sizes were a little small. Good place for a casual dinner.

The staff were under the pump but very accommodating. The food was amazing!!

Nice vibe, loads of food In the Feed Me, and great vego options

Really good food, however some dishes were unavailable (on a Friday night) which was disappointing. Seemed understaffed and at times we had to wait a while to even get service. Overall quite a good experience

Shared plates for 4 people. Beautiful fresh food and desserts

It was one of the best dining experiences we have had. The food was exceptional, the staff helpful; we'll certainly be returning with friends. Best eatery in Bridge Road!

Great food! Service was decent, the restaurant was a bit loud but worth it for the food. Would definitely come back!

Lovely atmosphere but be aware it gets relatively loud. Drinks took a while but were well made. Food was mostly enjoyable, particularly the black dog prawns and chocolate cigar. Skip the puffs. Staff were lovely although could have used an extra to allow them some space. Would go again

Great food, something different, enjoyed cocktails, helpful staff will visit again!

Loved the food here. My friend & I we’re very impressed with the flavours & tenderness of meat. Will definitely be back

was really good food and experience would love to go back

Great food! Good size venue with good atmosphere. Will come again

Fantastic night. Great food, lovely staff. Really enjoyed the prawns.

The food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Celebrated my husbands birthday here and it felt special. Would love to come back here again!

Great food with lots of delicious vegetarian options. Only one waiter however so although she was great, service was slower than it should have been.

Great food and good service. The short ribs are amazing as well as the dessert cigars!

The food was fabulous. The service was terrible. Lovely staff but just not enough of them. We had to ask for menus, then ask to order, then ask for drinks each time.

Very enjoyable. Loved all the different flavours, lots of "oohs" as the food was served. Menu catered for all - a great discovery.

Amazing food with a great vibe, great value for money

Lovely, friendly service. nice atmosphere and lighting. Food service was very quick, the food was very tasty, Good vegetarian options too. I'd definitely recommend a visit

Lovely food and great service. The feed me menu was excellent.

Great food. Fresh and delicious. Also pretty on a plate. Quite enjoyed the prawns and the sweet potato dishes. But all was tasty. Only let down was dessert. Chocolate cigars too smoky and shell didn’t taste of chocolate, but the mousse filling was yum!

Food was great and relaxed atmosphere. Recommended for a chilled dinner

We waited for 45 minutes before they told us that we could stay because we did not have a voucher. Later I spoke to the manager and he did not know what had gone on at the front. This voucher business was their error. We did not eat a thing. Glass were provided, but no water

The wait staff were polite and friendly, while the food was unbelievable!

Great little place. Lovely food and good service. It is very loud though.

Amazing food and a really cool vibe in the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the menu was innovative and tasty! Definitely recommend to others!

The food was delicious at Onda. We tried almost everything and could not complain about a thing. It was a very busy night and the staff kept happy and attentive at all times. My only complaint was the noise level. It was almost unbearable and I think they should consider insulation/foam under the tables to absorb some sound? Otherwise a great night

Really great service. The food was amazing. I recommend this place for people who like South American food and drinks. The cocktails are fantastic. Thanks!!

Food was great and came out quickly, though the customer service was a little inconsistent. Some tables were getting their drinks poured for them, we didn’t. Some had cutlery replaced with napkins, we didn’t. Some had the plates put out in front of them, we had the placed on the corner of the table for us to do ourselves.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Had the feed me menu which gave a huge range of the menu - black prawn dogs, mozarella puffs, cassava chips, plantain chips, cerviche, 3-4 mains and a dessert. Will be back!

Onda is a new Latin American restaurant in the bustling Bridge Road area of Richmond. They serve a dazzling array of small and sharing dishes, with a range of cocktails and desserts too. The restaurant has a pink feature wall brightening up the room, and a blue swirl of booths in the middle of the restaurant discrete dining spaces that you can still peek over to see what the neighbours are eating next door! We started off with cassava, sweet potato chips and guacamole. The slice of lemon was a nice touch. These were crispy, crunchy and left me wanting more. Next up, Wild Fungi serve in the wood where it was grown. These mushrooms came in served in earthy wood, giving it a great aroma and presentation. I could taste black wood ear, oyster, swiss brown and Shimigi mushrooms, with pickled shallots for good measure. Just a great variety of textures in there. Really nice vegan option. The wagyu brisket was tender and delicious, with an intense sweet potato puree and chimichurri underneath. Nice plating presentation too. We decided to lighten things up with a broccolini salad next. The highlight of the salad was the toasted almond dressing/sauce in on the bottom, an oily delight. I kind of wished we were recommended a lighter salad with all the other meat dishes, but definitely a delicious dish on its own merits. Now for the highlight! The crispy pork belly was rich and decadent. More meaty flavours came in the form of beef fat croutons, and even a beef sauce to pour on top! Struth, there were two types of beetroot on the side, a purple puree and a yellow pickled version. Hiding underneath we found mofongo, a amazing mushy and seasoned banana cake. This dish is a must-have. The staff were relaxed and friendly. Their menu was refreshed this week, and we were really impressed. The prices are good value considering the portion sizes. Lots of dairy-free options on the menu too. If you’re looking for a great Latin American restaurant, I’d highly recommend Onda.

Had a great night at this new Gem! The staff were great and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the eggplant to share and the cigars for dessert! We’ll be back!

Great food and very friendly staff with whole place was a buzz. The vegetarian options were really tasty, looked amazing and generous. Looking forward to going back.
