Reviews
I recently visited Secret Kitchen for a catch-up dinner with a friend, and it was such a delightful experience. We were lucky to enjoy their half-price lobster promotion, which was an amazing deal and definitely a highlight of the night.nnEvery dish we ordered was beautifully prepared, maintaining a high standard in both taste and presentation. Everything was delicious and satisfying, making it a truly enjoyable dining experience. To top it off, we were pleasantly surprised with an abundance of desserts, which made the evening feel extra special.nnThe service was equally impressive. All staff were attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the night. A special shoutout to CK David, Martin, Karry and Joyce for their exceptional service and warm hospitality. They truly made our experience memorable.nnOverall, Secret Kitchen is a fantastic place for both great food and excellent service. I would definitely return again!
We had a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner this evening at Secret Kitchen in Westfield Doncaster. The experience was exceptional from start to finish.nnService was warm and attentive, and we were personally looked after by the restaurant manager, David, which made the night feel extra special.nThe Cantonese-style food was outstanding, with generous portions and beautiful execution.nnHighlights included a large serving of crayfish/lobster, expertly cooked to perfectly showcase its incredible freshness, and the classic crispy-skinned Peking duck—served with pancakes for the skin and followed by the remaining meat in full. The stir-fried beef offered delicate, well-balanced flavours that complemented everything else perfectly.nnWe finished on a lovely traditional note with a generous complimentary fresh fruit platter.nSecret Kitchen is easily one of Melbourne’s top Chinese restaurants—it currently rivals the likes of Flower Drum in terms of delicate flavour. Highly recommended!
It’s been a while since we last had yum cha, and everything definitely didn’t disappoint. i missed not only the food, but also the vibe of secret kitchen. the staff were very nice, and fast at their job. although yum cha can be slightly pricey sometimes, it was great to have it again. i always love the traditional yum cha trolleys. the only feedback i would give today is that the egg tarts are quite oily compared to how i’d like. overall, i’m glad we came
I used to love Secret Kitchen and hadn’t been back for a while, so this visit was really disappointing!nnThe food quality has dropped noticeably. The beef cheung fun I used to order no longer tastes like real beef. It seems to be made with some kind of processed beef mixture, with no beef flavour at all. The overwhelming taste was dried mandarin peel, and the filling had a soft, floury texture rather than the texture of real beef. The taro dumplings were also very bland and lacked the flavour they used to have.nnIt’s disappointing to be paying the same price or even more—while receiving food of a much lower quality. Secret Kitchen used to serve authentic, high-quality yum cha, which is why this experience was such a letdown. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I won’t be coming back.
This was hands down the best yum cha I’ve ever had in MelbournennMake sure you call ahead to reserve, especially on weekends, as seats are very limited. Yum cha is served in a large hall. You queue outside and are let in in batches — our session started at 1:30 pm.nnAll dishes come around on trolleys, so there’s no ordering from a menu. The selection is fairly wide, mostly classic yum cha items done very well.nHighlights:nBean curd rolls : 5/5 – Highly recommended. I love soy-based dishes, and the filling was very generous and flavourful.nnSteamed pork ribs with black bean sauce : 4/5. There was a whole piece of taro underneath — such a pleasant surprise and absolutely delicious.nn: 6/5. Extremely fluffy and incredibly tasty. The only downside is the portion size — quite small for $8.50 .nnRice noodle rolls : 5/5. The wrapper was super thin and silky, with very large prawns inside.nI’ve seen many reviews complaining about poor service, but my first experience was excellent. The staff spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, and no one seemed impatient at all.nnMy only advice is to eat slowly — everything looks tempting, and before you know it, the bill adds up quickly.nnApart from being pricey, there’s really nothing to complain about.
