How we read reviews →Rosebud's go-to Chinese restaurant, with BYO wine, generous banquets, and warm Vietnamese family service.
Recently renovated interior with lantern decor, comfortable seating and a partially open kitchen. Intimate and colourful, it feels welcoming and buzzy on busy evenings. The renovations have lifted the ambience significantly over the previous fit-out, though the open kitchen can add to the noise level when the takeaway orders run concurrently with dine-in service.
BYO wine; banquet set menus (A, B, C) for groups; open kitchen with visible cooking; freshly squeezed orange juice; Vietnamese family ownership with strong community engagement including donating excess food to locals in need.
Vietnamese family ownership with a menu spanning traditional Chinese dishes (Cantonese steak, wonton soup, roast pork with mushrooms) and Southeast Asian specialties (Char Kuey Teow, Beef Rendang, Mee Goreng). The kitchen's commitment to fresh ingredients and careful cooking is visible from the open kitchen.
Divided opinions that largely reflect expectations. Peninsula locals and holiday visitors who are accustomed to Melbourne CBD pricing find it reasonable to expensive; regular metro Chinese restaurant visitors feel the prices are above what the quality justifies. Banquet menus offer better value per head for groups. BYO wine helps manage the bill.
