AI Summary

A Melbourne CBD institution for nearly 40 years. generous chicken steak on rice and legendary chilli oil at bargain prices.

No-frills, old-school Chinese canteen energy on Flinders Lane. open kitchen, long communal dining hall, fast turnover. It's the antithesis of trendy: functional, efficient and honest. The vibe is Southeast Asian hole-in-the-wall transplanted to the Melbourne CBD, familiar and comforting to those who grew up eating this way.

Open kitchen visible from dining room. Housemade chilli oil and chilli sambal. a signature condiment that reviewers rate as exceptional and take home with takeaway orders. Wok cooking with 'wok hei' breath noted by experienced reviewers. Nearly 40 years of history in Melbourne, having relocated from the Port Phillip Arcade.

Classic Cantonese-style Chinese canteen food. char kway teow, wonton soup, dim sim and chop rice with chilli oil reflect genuine Hong Kong-style casual dining. Multiple Asian-background reviewers explicitly endorse it as authentic. The cooking style. fast wok, no fuss. is true to the tradition.

Among the cheapest quality Chinese meals in the Melbourne CBD. dishes from $12.50 to $13.50 with generous portions. Reviewers note fried chicken on rice portions that span two meals. A meal for under $15 in the CBD is genuinely rare. Portion sizes are consistently cited as a highlight.
