Great food lovely service highly recommended Peking duck. Order online regularly and food is always of a high standard. Looking forward to dining in more
This place used to be a go to place to Chinese food. It is now not. Maybe worth going for take away. The service was slow, scales in the steamed barramundi, sweet corn soup (vegetarian) was cold and the only good thing was the wine collection. Staff seemed to stand around and they could not handle a simple table to 6 on a Tuesday night.
Unless you want red wine and dumplings avoid.
Was invited here for a late dinner catchup with a friend who was keen on this place for their signature deep fried ice cream!
The restaurant was pretty quiet around 8:30pm on a Tuesday when we arrived but it was noticeably more of an upmarket styled Chinese restaurant with a beautiful entrance way and a nice spacious dinning area.
The menu is quite extensive with lots of different options, we opted for the spring rolls, San Choy Bow (chicken mince lettuce cups), sweet an sour chicken with veggies and the Korean prawn dish.
The Spring rolls were quite tasty and filled well, the San Choy Bow was so juicy and tasty, it was hard to eat but was on of the best dishes I’ve tried. The sweet and sour chicken was nice and the Korean prawn was a very small serving size which was disappointing.
It was getting late, around 9:15pm after we had finished mains and the restaurant seemed to be rushing us out which felt quite rude, we still wanted to try the the deep fried ice cream so we ordered it anyway. We shared this dish and it was amazing, great texture combination from the hot, crispy, golden batter to the cold, smooth ice cream. The batter was not oily at all, it was drizzled with a caramel sauce which made it taste even better, definitely worth a shot!
After dessert, the waiter seemed to be rushing us out even more, by cleaning up our table including our glasses of water! The staff need to show more respect to paying customers during the full operational hours listed on the door and not try to rush patrons out because it’s late.
Overall, the food was nice, the dessert was a standout but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon after that type of service.
Our favourite local for a delicious, friendly, relaxing dinner. Great value for money and the food is clean, light and traditional. No gimicky menu dishes trying to be cool, just great, honest Chinese food. The staff is so friendly, the atmosphere is amazing and the food is always 10/10. Highly recommend!
Really amazing food. The fried rice is cooked with fresh ingredients and the prawn dumplings are very flavoursome. The staff are polite and very on the ball when it comes to ordering and they never leave you waiting.
I can’t comment on the dishes and main menu, but if the value for money is like the yum cha, I would say it’s not worth your time. The price of yum cha is a bit above average, the only reason we went was because we had entertainment cards. It’s a fairly flashy place, not very large, with decor possessing a dark and modern vibe. Not what you’d expect with a name like ‘Bok Choy’. The yum cha menu was a bit limited, they didn’t serve some of the usual favourites like the steamed pork roll wrapped in beancurd skin. They had also run out of several things, but yet retained dishes that aren’t even real dim sum, like teriyaki chicken skewers. They also don’t bring trolleys around, you just order from the menu. Despite this, they still for some reason had to be prompted to bring us the menu, even after we struggled with knowing what to order. Nearly all of the classic yum cha dishes on offer have been placed within the ‘dim sim deluxe’ category, with each costing $7.80. A bit steep-ish, especially when some of these dishes like the char siu bao only come with two bao! But you’re mostly looking at a heap of dumplings with different fillings from this category. The variety seems poor. Oh and get this, 2 pieces of sesame prawn toast for $9.80?! That’s just way wrong.
Quality wise, everything tasted fresh but it was nothing standout. Some things were of a decent standard, such as the har gao, prawn and chive dumplings, siu mai, sticky rice and egg tart. The char siu bao was significantly below standard, while the lai wong bao was not bad. The bbq pork pie was even worse than the bao equivalent, having no flavour, and the pastry being very crumbly and soft.
I just found this place odd and off-kilter in a lot of ways, but to put it simply, you just wouldn’t come here for yum cha–there’s plenty of other places in Melbourne that offer a smoother, familiar and authentic experience.
Good interior, o.k. service ,but lemon chicken looked very lonely in a plate without a piece of vegetable!
What sort of main caurse is that?
$29.00
With so much choices today,we would think twice to come again!!
