How we read reviews →Balwyn North's tiny hidden gem for authentic Chaozhou and Malaysian home cooking.
Small, homely family-run bistro tucked in a laneway - cosy, unpretentious, and always full given only a handful of tables.
Off-menu chef specials available on request, hand-picked live seafood (scampi, clams, whelk, crab), traditional Gongfu tea service.
Authentic Chaozhou (Teochew) cuisine with Malaysian influences, run by a mother-daughter team; reviewers note genuine Teochew cooking is rare in Melbourne.
Reviewers consistently call it reasonably priced for generous, high-quality Teochew cooking, though portion sizes have drawn mixed comments.
