For entrees, I ordered the Crispy Softshell Crab and Flame Wok-tossed Vegetables. The crab was impeccable. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Bursting with flavour, succulent, crispy, well-sauced. The vegetables were light and crunchy – delicious.
My main was the Crispy Pork Belly. It lived up to its name: crispy! I particularly enjoyed the cashew and peanut garnish and Red Dragon Sauce. However, I felt that some of the pork pieces needed more of the sauce; also, the Vietnamese mint salad was rather bland.
The ambience is excellent – the music wasn't blasting during lunch time, making it the perfect place for a good conversation with friends or colleagues.

Blink and you will miss the entrance. This was a lovely place to meet. Our group was a party of 4 and we had reserved and explained we had theater tickets for 7pm. We order 4 banquets and drinks each. The filthy dirty martinis are excellent. The only negative is that we missed out on the final dish as ( even though we asked repeatedly) it came out as we were due to leave. Dimitri is very attentive and a pleasure. Wish we had our last dishes. What we did have was lovely. May need bigger portions.
Not happy with how this experience ended.

This lovely restaurant offered delicious food and drinks in a beautifully decorated location with an interesting history.
Looking at the menu, we were thinking that we may be short on food with the banquet but we were totally wrong. The banquet provided a more than ample, thoroughly enjoyable serving for our large party.
There is a cocktail bar upstairs as well.
Definitely worth a visit!

Overall good experience. Very interesting interior, might be a great place for some intimate evening. Foodwise, there are rooms for improvement. They made good cocktails though.

Fantastic welcoming staff. Wide range of different Asian fusion foods. We told them what we liked and how hungry we were, and out came the food.
Well made cocktails, good wines
Bottom line
$220 for two. Recommend.

Came for a work function and discovered my next go-to restaurant in Melbourne.
With a theme of a Chinese Laundry, your experience starts when you step fit into the top floor restaurant and cocktail bar. With traditional Chinese dresses hanging from the ceiling, you're whipped away into gastronomic delights. Modern Asian done well, it's difficult to go wrong with any selection. My two picks would be the crispy Brussels sprouts and the Pumpkin custard. While not your usual selections, you won't be disappointed abs talk to the inventiveness of the rest of the menu. Recommended!

There was a lack of atmosphere and the seating arrangement bad. The food was average however the cocktails where great!

The service was the superstar of the evening here - you can tell they enjoy what they do. Brilliant. The moneybag dumplings our favourite, go for the large serving. Not a fan of the trout, was delicious but not a $36 portion. Will go back to try the other meals, plus, it’s a cool Melbourne restaurant.
