AI Summary

Melbourne's live-catch seafood house. pick your fish, then watch it steamed in a stone pot.

A playful, interactive seafood house. catch your fish from the ground-floor pond, then dine upstairs in a simple room; reviews on the decor are mixed, but the theatre of the catch is the drawcard.

A live fish pond guests can catch from themselves, tableside stone-pot steaming, house-made soy dipping sauce, and truffle-infused add-ons.

Mandarin-speaking reviewers highlight flavours that match Jiangsu and Zhejiang-style seafood cooking, and English-language reviewers separately call it authentic Chinese cuisine.

Value is contested. many call the set menus generous and fresh for the price, but a cluster of detailed reviews allege forced set-menu upselling and steep bills during peak or holiday periods.
