Ruyi Modern Chinese

RuYi oozes character. We were served by Mercy and Sedrick and they were fabulous in the attention they gave us, the narrative and culture connections they presented. This was an absolutely beautiful experience. The food was great. Minimalist decor. I liked the earthy stone serving platters that added to the presentation and beauty of the dishes.. it’s quaint presence goes along with the subtle tastes it offers. However, it deserves more attention. We were here for the second time and will come again

This place is insane. The food is next level good. We got the 5 course tasting menu and the food was so good that we were almost about to ask if we could get the 9 instead. But once we got to our last item we were so full. We even came back the next day to get takeaway chicken wings. The atmosphere is so calm and all the workers there are so nice. It has an authentic feel to it and would defiantly come here again next time i visit Melbourne. I would give this place 6/5 stars if I could.

The sauce for Kingfish ceviche was too sweet, I order it all the times at different restaurants, this is absolutely the worst one. Wonton was ok, they poured too much vinegar in the plate. Jasmine cocktail tastes like Gin mixed with 2022 Melbourne tap water, very impressive. We also ordered Old Fashion tastes like vermouth without Bourbon … By the way, don’t ask customers how about the food when they are ready for paying the bill, it too late to ask, of course we would say “good”, if everything is good you don’t even need to ask, we can’t wait to let you know how much we enjoyed the food. Overall very disappointing!!

We work in hospitality and a friend of mine said we have to try RuYi for its high standards in hospitality. Finally made it last week and everything seemed very top notch even to our picky industry eyes. Their wine list is great and reasonably priced with a lot of carefully selected boutique wines. The 5 spice old fashioned blows our mind away. Food is amazing and goes along well with the beverages and nicely presented. You can see that the service team is very professional, young and energetic. They have a good knowledge about the menu and looked after us all along the way in great detail. A very well run venue. We can see the hard work behind the scenes from what was presented to us

Brilliant restaurant for dietary restrictions. My partner needs to avoid wheat, onion and garlic. We opted for the 5 course set menu "chef's choice". Each course was delicious! It was so lovely to eat somewhere and feel comfortable knowing they understood our food restrictions. Desert was also delicious. Wonderful and attentive service. Picture of bao (not GF) that I ate, partner was served GF alternative.
