This hidden gem is located in Franklin Street away from the hustle and bustle of the restaurants in Elizabeth St. They have an extensive menu and all the dishes we ordered were nice. The star of the night was the egg white dish. This seemingly simple dish have great chewy texture and seafood flavour. Will definitely come back again! Food - 10 Service - 10 Vibe - 9 Price - $$$
Good mix of western and authentic chinese dishes. Dishes weren't overly salty and tastes pretty good. Service was good. Dishes came out reasonably fast.
Delicious food! Love the pork knuckle, roast beef, egg white scramble with scallop, eggplant and minced beef! Will return!
Had Australian Rock Lobster with Crispy fried noodles. Really Fresh & had WokHei! Roast duck was good too. Reasonable place. Great service.
Need noise dampeners! The place get noisy even at just half capacity. The food is decent but not great. The chef seems to want to turn every stir fry dish into a gelatinous starchy mess with its sauce. Such a shame as a few of the veggie dishes was cooked quite well e.g. Chinese broccoli with ginger. If only they ease up on the starchy thickeners.
I think they have changed management. The wontons chicken soup wasn't as nice as it used to, the service also wasn't as nice. The mince pork with bean are the best dish among all other dishes we have ordered. The worst is the service, the waiters doesn't understand English. When we asked for dessert menu, I have to ask my husband to speak mandarin to them. We first ordered the walnut dessert then they came back to us and said they don't have that, we then ordered a fruit platter, the waiter walked away and came back and said they don't have that either.............don't think we are going back. It's ashamed that they changed management :
Not your average Cantonese restaurant! Fancy menu but definitely can match Flower Drum`s quality with less than half the price!! Serious about good Chinese dinner, this is the place!!!
Small dishes at higher than average prices. Went there with a group of friends. $3 per person for Chinese tea, and $3.80 per person for a small bowl of rice. A little harsh when not everyone drinks tea or had a bowl of rice. Will be avoiding this place from now on.
First, this restaurant is extremely noisy for eating, the waiter's manner is quite offensive and full of arrogance. I found few hairs in soup and thats quite disgusting. Also, the price, is a bit higher, it was't even worth it. In total, the shittest chinese restaurants ive ever went to.
Have eaten there repeatedly with both Australian and Chinese friends and have not been disappointed. The braised pork knuckle is particularly good. Bit out of the way but worth finding. Within a block or so of Vic market if you wish to combine shopping and eating. Definitely worth consideration. Max Perry
