David's Hotpot

Hot pot restaurant

😐 In Melbourne and craving some hotpot and with 3.8k reviews and 4.8 stars, I thought we can't go wrong, but I'm honestly not sure why it's so highly rated. It's not bad, but I think it's far from a 5 star. The meat quality and selection is not that great. Also, at that price, I expect fresh house-ma...

Secret Kitchen Chinatown

Chinese restaurant

🫤 Quality and price didn't make sense to us. Perhaps should've gone for breakfast or lunch and not dinner. However, we expected consistency to be the same throughout the day. Albeit the spacing and environment was great. Food was exorbitantly overpriced. What you see in the photos came to $90. Doe...

David's Master Pot 大味麻辣烫 (Elizabeth St - Melbourne CBD) - malatang, hotpot

Chinese restaurant

😐 Soup was good but the self select ingredients made this bowl $34 (800g of weight - likely that weight include the minimum 400g of broth as there definitely wasn't 800g of ingredients in there). So the total price is expensive for one person. We were given a buzzer to collect our own food from the co...

China Bar Swanston

Chinese restaurant

😠 I'm writing this to warn those about their safety and also my experience. with China Bar. China Bar was always a go to, but this experience makes me never want to go back. My co-workers and I had been served by fairly rude and blatant employees for starters, we did not feel welcomed at all. I ordere...

Hot pot restaurant

👍 Another David, another hotpot. This one has been operating on Swanston Street for more tgan a year. Rather busy at lunchtime. Went for the fixed price $18.99 including drink. Not what we would have chosen exactly, but was easy. Soup was the right amount of spice. Cas only today as the machine...

Juicy Bao

Chinese restaurant

👍👍 Some updates since my last visit: It seems not much has changed since I last came here. If anything, customer service has improved. The dumplings are still rather cheap and delicious. Review from 4 years ago: I happened to try this place because Shanghai Street Dumpling was closed. To my surprise,...

Shark Fin Inn

Chinese restaurant

👍👍 Sweet memories from forty years ago when I was a kid. Used to go here every second weekend as a kid, with the food being nothing short of superb. Fast forward to 2022 and Shark Fin Inn still stands and still serves up outstanding fare. I was with my 10 year old daughter this time and took her out to...

Dumplings Plus

Chinese restaurant

😠 Went here because of the ratings and its a chain I have been to in other areas of Melbourne. But so disappointed at the portion size (compared to glen, clayton, springvale), lack of flavor and how dry the meat was. Dumplings had such little fillings inside with a thick flour covering. And the $5 tea...

Shanghai Street

👍👍 This is definitely one of the best dumpling places in Melbourne!!! Despite having odd opening hours (Sun-Thu 11:45-14:45 & 16:45-20:30, Fri-Sat 11:45-14:45& 16:45-21:00), it is always busy, and people tend to queue up. The best time to visit is in the evening, as you will get a table in this little...
