👍👍 The food was amazing, the service was extraordinary, the drinks were unique and actually tasted so good. My favorite was the oyster and han sui gok (glutinous dumpling). The chicken and dry aged duck were mind-blowing as well. For drinks, the “lemon drop martini” and “bitter sweet lover” was a must...

    Stepping into the restaurant felt like being transported into the Golden era of Hong Kong. The neon lights and the beautiful floral arrangements work really well. We came during mother's day weekend and unfortunately have no option but to order from the set menu. They advised that it was a collection of their popular dishes so it was a good opportunity to taste all the different dishes. Some dishes are a hit and miss but one thing for sure is that all the portions are small. The favourites for us were the poached chicken, mapo Autumn vegetables and the pineapple bun. The chicken was tender, juicy, and came with this sauce which has this depth of flavour. The service was very friendly, they even tried to make mocktails for my daughter when we tried to order fruit juice. Food - 7 Service - 8 Vibe - 9 Price - $$$

    I love the dining experience there. My friend and I went for a beautiful dinner with the most delicious duck and fried rice. The manager, Amy was so welcoming and friendly. We love her. The bar staff, Henry was so lovely as well! It was such a great time at the Tea House. The cocktails are amazing! Highly recommend!

    @mongkok.tea.house 📍Camberwell ➖ Curry Vegetable Puff ➖ Buttermilk Pineapple Bread ✔️ Prawn Scallop Dumpling ➖ Drunken Kingfish ⭐️ Han Sui Gok ➖ Steamed Murray Cod ✔️ Dry Aged Duck ✔️ Watermelon Granita Mongkok Tea House is a Chinese restaurant located on Burke Road, Camberwell. The concept, menu and venue are inspired by the “Golden Years” of 1970’s Hong Kong diners and cafes. The owners also brought you @manchuria_bar in the CBD. From the outside it doesn’t look like much, but take a step inside. 🇭🇰 The kitchen is headed by Executive Chef Jack Tsai (@quayrestaurant, @leehofook, @pinchys_co, @atticamelbourne At Home), where he puts his experience into a fusion Chinese-Western menu. The star of the show is the Dry Aged Duck, cooked to perfection with a crispy. The duck on its own was a little bland but delicious with the paired with the sauce. The sauce was meant to be Truffle flavoured but I didn’t really sense it. 🤔 The Prawn and Scallop Dumplings were expertly made and super fresh. Although I’m not usually a fan of glutinous rice dumplings I loved their Han Sui Gok paired with celeriac puree. All other dishes were decent. The Watermelon Granita is a great summer dessert, although it is sharable you may want it all to yourself! 🤭 We didn’t have a bad dish here, service is excellent and the portion sizes were impressive! Would’ve loved some more standout flavours to take each dish to the next level but overall satisfied. The cocktails here are fantastic, the crowd favourite is the Yolada and I enjoyed The Godfather. 🥃 ⭐️ 3.4/5 💸 $$

    This was a surprisingly impressive suburban meal, the only thing left to be desired was the asparagus, they were just pretty. The duck on the other hand was quite delicious. As was the chicken and waffle especially how yummy it was on the egg waffle! The prawn scotch egg was AMAZING, so delicious and filled with flavor fried to perfection! The pineapple bun was not bad but slightly overpriced. Drunken kingfish crudo also very enjoyable, and although slightly gimmicky, the drinks weren’t half bad, very strong however but some might see that as a good thing. This is definitely somewhere I would come back to , not perfect but pretty damn good

    We had ourselves a great evening at Mongkok Tea House and would definitely recommend to others - it’s particularly well suited for a date night or drinks alongs friends or even for those just in search of a tasty feed. Great vibes and atmosphere here. An impressive liquor display is accompanied by bright green neon signage and a wall adorned with pictures of Hong Kong film stars which along with astutely selected decor and smartly dressed waitstaff (suspenders included), really helps to inspire a sense of old school Hong Kong. Little touches like the red corded wall telephone ☎️ were very cool to see. The food menu is made up of mostly snacks and bites as well as a few larger sharing plates to choose from. The pineapple bun with vegemite char-siu butter and pork floss was pretty amazing. I particularly loved the butter although I would have appreciated a slightly larger portion . The bun itself was nice, less sweet than the usual bakery versions and paired well with the butter. Serving size was suitable to share between 2. The Fried chicken and waffle was a single serving portion. It was nice without blowing me away but I did love the fact that they used an egg waffle rather than the conventional Belgian-style waffle. Scallop corn chowder was very tasty and has a base of steamed egg on the bottom which was both a great nod to Hong Kong cuisine as well as providing a great texture to the chowder, which is often a dish that in other circumstances sometimes runs the issue of being too runny for my liking. Now the Chinese donut with stracciatella was the standout dish for us. These donuts can be difficult to nail, but ours tasted fresh and perfectly fried on the outside which was able to make up for an ever so slightly doughy interior. I would never have thought stracciatella would pair with this, but oh it absolutely does. Dip it, smother it, spoon it straight into your mouth - it’s glorious. The black vinegar glaze with hints of chilli oil really accompanied excellently with the stracciatella. Comes in a good size for sharing between a few also, but to be honest it’s a dish I might have trouble sharing in the future. We also had the dry aged duck, for which they managed to deliver a wonderfully crispy skin and tasty flavors. It’s a large dish and a great option particularly for a group. It was probably the most conventional dish we tried. Drinks-wise, the cocktails we had were very good. The bar staff knew their stuff, made great recommendations and were excellent conversationalists. We also had a Hong Kong style milk tea which excellent and in my opinion a vastly superior options to the milk teas delivered in bubble tea stores. This fusion menu was exceptionally well executed and was able to combine styles in a manner that actually elevated the overall dish - we see a lot of fusion in Melbourne but I feel this is a rare feat. Can’t wait to go back.

    The food, the atmosphere and everything else about this place were immaculate. Dry aged duck is definitely the highlight of our meal. I’m always on the hunt for creative house cocktails and their range did not disappoint. I ordered their version of “spicy margarita” and infused truffle “old fashion” and they were just amazing Our date night wouldn’t be perfect without the hospitality of Mongkok’s staff. Thanks to Djava, Amy and Henry, these amazing souls have definitely made our night hard to forget❤️ Hope to see you guys again on our next visit !

    Creative/delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly service. Mongkok Tea House is a hidden gem in Melbourne. I wish there were more tea related food or drink. It was more like a bar, cosy restaurant vibe. I went there as a group and we ordered 10 different menus to share. They were all amazing! 🥰 My pictures don't do the justice for their food. Highly recommend to visit at least once.
