One of the few remaining Cantonese restaurants who still have cooks who came from Hong Kong. They do not open for lunch. Thus, they specialise in dinner and late supper and opens up to 2 am. Excellent authentic food with good service. Highly recommended

Very nice. Crowded. Live fish and lobsters etc in tanks in the entrance. Food very nice and lots of it. We had a banquet B for 7 of us and it was xlnt. We were full by the end. Just a bit hard trying to get noticed by staff, but any staff member would attend to our needs. But they were very busy but very efficient.

Came into this restaurant with no expectations. We went in for takeaway when it's not as busy on a dinner service. We waited for 20mins and we asked about our food but they gave us "15mins" as a reply. During the time we waited for our 3 dishes, there were already 4-5 set of groups or family that went in and sat to their tables. One of the families there that came in 15mins after us got their food already. I understand that it was busy and gave us "short staffed" excuse. I would understand if our food came out at the same time as those people who recently sat but it wasn't the case. Took us 50mins to get our take away CRAZY! If I could give 0 stars I would but I'll give 1 star since we actually got our food. Wouldn't even dare to come back. I'd suggest looking at another Chinese restaurant with better quality service and communication and not giving false timing like "15mins". The restaurant is running on a different timezone.

We were surprised when we walked in as this Chinese restaurant is packed on this Sunday night ! The salt and pepper Chinese noodle fish we ordered is very delicious and reasonable big serve. Service is quick and good too. Recommended !

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The service was appalling - the waiters were uninterested and unfriendly. The food was very slow to come out of the kitchen, even though the restaurant was not particularly busy. After two hours, we had only been served three dishes. During the entire meal, none of the staff bothered to explain the reason for the delay or show any concern for our experience. To make matters worse, one of the dishes had a piece of plastic in it, which was a major health hazard. Overall, this was a completely unpleasant dining experience and I would not go back or recommend it to anyone else.

Customer service is horrendous! Booked for dinner and we waited about 10 minutes for someone to approach us to ask us for our booking and the manager was very rude about it. When he took our order all he would say was “yep” and he was super blunt when questions were asked. Food arrived quite fast which was good but customer service is terrible and especially the managers.

I'm not one for reviews but this place deserves 5 stars! Took my mum here for mothers day and the service and food were great!! Ordered the banquet for 2 and everything was staggered perfectly and tasted delicious. Definitely recommend Kambo Forest Hill for any occasion 👌

I’ve been eating from this restaurant for a few times. Ow and I haven’t received any good service up to now. The food is good but the staff must learn to communicate with good manners. They have been kinda rude towards me even if I have been very kind and respectful. Also last time I ordered from this and I wanted to change the order 5 seconds after I made it and they said they can’t as they have already started cooking. I asked the cashier to go and check and he just went to the kitchen side and came back without even asking I saw it with my own eyes. Also please don’t buy the fried noodles they have if you don’t want it to be CRISPY fried noodles like chips. It is very misleading. They should name it crispy fried noodles and not fried noodles as fried noodles means something else like fried rice. But I’ve seen them treat the Asian customers well (I’m not pointing out anything). Just a bit of respect, flexibility and clear menu should be great. The food then again is good!

Food is not excellent but good service, price a liitle high

A True Chinese Culinary Experience: Kambo Chinese Restaurant - Consistently delicious Chinese food - Friendly staff that feels like family - Highly recommended local Chinese restaurant Kambo Chinese Restaurant is my go-to place for amazing Chinese food. They never disappoint with their flavourful dishes that keep me coming back for more. The staff is always friendly and makes you feel right at home! I highly recommend this local gem for an authentic Chinese dining experience.

Great Chinese restaurant. It is always busy and packed so definitely recommend booking in advance. They are also open for late night supper. Typical Chinese restaurant with all chef recommended dishes advertised on bright colour paper. They also have live seafood available. Market price lobster and crab. Love the portion size at Kambo. End the night with complimentary fruit and dessert. What we got: 🍽 Fried Oysters 🍽 Salt and Pepper Quail 🍽 Eel with japanese sauce 🍽 Century egg and veg

Food was fantastic, and the service was exceptional, we were lucky because it was a quiet night, so the staff was very attentive. It is normally very busy!

Traditional Chinese restaurant. Service was good. Average food

Food has gotten better, maybe got a new chef.

Kambo Chinese Restaurant is a traditional Cantonese restaurant in Forest Hill, Melbourne. It is a family-friendly restaurant with good consistent quality. The restaurant has many fish tanks with plenty of live seafood. The manager, Jason Fong, is always friendly and attentive to customers' needs. However, when the restaurant is busy, the staff can get overwhelmed, and service can drop. Overall, Kambo is an excellent restaurant with authentic Cantonese Chinese food, which is increasingly difficult to find in Melbourne.

Nice food, good service, reasonable price, open till midnight.

I felt racially profiled. From the looks given from the host and the reluctance to give us a table yet there were many free tables. Very disappointing

Chicken and pipi were not refresh and tasted very bad. Every watermelon slice has soil on it. They probably don’t even wash their ingredients.

Best Chinese Ive tasted in a long time

Ordered 2 meals for a total of $24.80 on their website. No ingredients listed or photos of the dishes. I Got a text saying wait was 15 mins. Went into the store 18 minutes later after struggling to find a close park available ( I ordered at 8:50, many parallel parking spaces available depending on time) the food was already waiting for me :) Man at counter barely acknowledged me, I didn’t want to interrupt him because I thought he was busy but after a few weird looks I realised he was waiting for me to talk first. Bit awkward and a customer service no no. He was neither rude nor friendly during the interaction, just a bit neutral and annoyed to be there. He put the change in my hand and that was it. (To be fair I ordered take away for the food not the customer service so I’m just gonna ignore it in my personal final verdict) The food was a bit warm but not at all hot when I got home ( I live 5 minutes away) my meal was cold shortly after beginning eating but I put it in the microwave ( easy fix, can’t really complain) The beef and vegetable noodles ($15.80) came in seperate containers. The noodles were hard ( to be softened with the second half of the beef meal) but there was nowhere near enough sauce or liquid to soften the surface of the noodles let alone the whole container. Decent and reasonable sizes, very impressed with the proportions and will definitely have for tomorrows lunch and dinner. Flavour was good, a little average but I definitely enjoyed the meal and would eat it again, there was not really many veggies so take that as a positive or a negative depending on your preferences. The only true main concern was with the special friend rice. ($9) Very yummy, a little big eggy but I like that in a fried rice. Then I stumbled upon something a little disturbing. Early into my friend rice there was a weird hard and crunchy texture but I didn’t really think anything of it…. Until I found literal egg shell in my food. With egg still attached. 😬 egg shell I guess is edible and the ingredients aren’t listed on the website so I almost let it slide except for the fact that it was big. Double the size of my nail 🥲 and definitely would’ve been bigger if I hadn’t munched on it without realising earlier. I still ate the rest of the fried rice tho, it wasn’t the best I’ve tasted but for $9? yes please and Thankyou !!! ( minus the egg shell )

Food is below average, service is terrible, they must own this piece of real estate, without offering lunch, don't know how they survived the long.

Great dishes. Chef able to cook some dishes thatay not be on menu.

My parents and moving to Forest Hill and my mum and I came for an early dinner one day after moving things to the new house. I was surprised how good the food quality was and the service was fantastic. Can’t wait to try more dishes.

Rubbish restaurant bad service that I never have！！！ If you are a boss and you care about your customers, you should read this Please ！ First of all, I was waiting at the door to be seated. Your female employee was at the counter and stared at me very rudely and said "halo" to me. Then she asked me how many people there were and I said 6 people and took me to a small round table by the window. We were allowed to sit on only 2 stools. I was surprised that there were so many tables and we were allowed to sit on this one. I sat down around 9 o'clock, so there were only 5/6 customers there. Second, I won’t mention the bad attitude your employees have when ordering our food! With a look of disdain on my face, I can bear it, it’s okay.After ordering, I asked you if these meals were enough to place on this table. The male employee also said very rudely that you should only order these items. It will definitely be enough! In the end, we actually spent more than half an hour waiting for our meal to come out. I didn't understand why we were asked to wait until we got impatient. Then we explained to us that it was a little late because the chef was eating. What I am most dissatisfied with is the middle-aged man with glasses and bald hair and the girl in black.
