Little Fish And Rice Town

Had an amazing feast at this spot last Friday! Very authentic Hunan dishes PLUS a wide selection of alcohol!! Lychee cider, beer and wine, you name it. Love the Dong Ting Lamb Chop (that crisp skin’s chef kiss!), Pork Belly w/ preserved veggie and the JUMBO size siu mai. Generous serving and delish (dishes can go really spicy upon requests!).

Been to this place heaps of times and they never let me down. Authentic food from Hunan province and attentive service make me feel like home. Some dishes are spicy and hot so watch out (!) but they do have non-spicy ones and those are great too. They provide delivery service during this lockdown period too - great set menu at fair price!

I caught my PB Snapper from Port Phillip Bay at 6.4kg. What better way to eat it than have it prepared by a professional chef, Hunan style at Dong Ting!? We spoke to the owner who said they would happily cook it for us. When we arrived I handed over the fish and we sat drinking cold beers while magic happened in the kitchen. It was a big fish so the chef prepared it three ways: 1. Hong Shao fish 2. Steamed with chili sauce 3. Tofu fish hot pot All were absolutely delicious! Also, I highly recommend the chili beef jerky (not sure the proper name for that dish) and the lobster tail was beautifully prepared. The staff and the venue vibe were great and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening! If you’re looking for authentic contemporary Hunan style Chinese food, I definitely recommend.

Service? What service? The wait staff showed us to an empty table and told us to "scan code and order". It's one of the worse ordering app. Have no idea where to find the food we want, prices are more expensive on the app, and the staff doesn't even bother to help. After 10 mins of fumbling around the app, we walked out.
