Best places: Chinese restaurants in Melbourne, Australia

Vibrant Chinese eatery with a floating dragon & traditional decor offering hot pots & nightly shows.

😐 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...

👍 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...

Dark, funky restaurant offering a robust drink menu & traditional Asian cuisine with a twist.

😐 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...

👍👍 The food is good. There were few dishes I've never tried before. The interior is beautiful so its good to come with friends. Good portion and price Good for group Good for photo! Highly suggest to book before

👍👍 Really enjoyed our spicy stir fry pot! There were so many ingredients to choose from! We ordered small spicy and that was spicy enough for us. It was such a good meal!

👍👍 My partner and I went here on Saturday 11th June 2022 to celebrate my birthday 🎉 The entire experience was great from when we entered to when we left. The food and cocktails were all delicious - we ordered the lux me menu and 3 cocktails. The decor was so pretty and the ambience was great. The st...

Unassuming counter-serve destination specialising in beef noodle soup & other familiar Chinese eats.

👍👍 Absolutely love this little spot! I’ve had many meals here and have tried most of the menu items - they are all consistently great. Dumplings in particular are fantastic - fillings are all so flavourful and juicy, wrapped in crispy, thin wrappers. Dip in a mix of chilli oil and vinegar and you’re i...

Cantonese meals in a sprawling, red-carpeted restaurant with panels of Chinese art lining the walls.

👍👍 WOW. Just WOW. Vegan flavour BOMB! I can't even explain how insanely delicious this food was. The chili oil is magnificent also! Get the dumplings and the fried rice. Very unique kind of fried rice- so fresh, packed with flavour and different kinds if vegetables. Thanks heaps!

Clever Asian fusion meals and banquets in a modern, buzzy space with an airy feel.

Regional Cantonese fine dining menu in a classy restaurant with white tablecloths and Asian artwork.

👍👍 Really yummy, four of us ordered six dishes and thought we could not finish but guess what, we cleaned everything😂 I like the sweet and sour pork ribs the best! Boss Kevin is really nice as well. Liven pay was not working but he traveled all the way to Doncaster store after work and helped us sort...

Vegan stir-fries, soups and noodle dishes plated in a minimalist space with booths and wooden decor.

Stylish, airy cafe featuring dim sum & handcrafted Chinese teas, as well as cocktails.

👍 It a small wedge tenancy that gets really crowded during lunch hour with staff and students in the area. Food takes a while to get to your tables. If you frequent this place, I'd encourage you to sign up as a member and get every 10th bowl for free.

👍👍 Such a beautiful restaurant - it’s like being transported to another era. They have their mooncake offering at the moment and the truffle pork is the best (First time having a savoury mooncake). Great dishes and cocktails on offer as well - loved the pork belly, dumplings and spicy prawns
