AI Summary

Melbourne's laneway modern Chinese fine-diner. flaming king prawns and a $108 tasting menu.

Intimate, elegant laneway fine-dining room with warm lighting and vintage photos. reviewers describe it as chic yet cosy, ideal for both quiet conversation and celebration.

Owner-led wine pairings matched to each course, a tableside flaming prawn presentation, a private dining room for group bookings, and Chinese New Year lion dance performances.

Reviewers, including Chinese diners, describe the cooking as staying true to authentic Chinese flavours while layering in modern techniques and global touches like yuzu and ceviche.

Priced at $108 per person for the tasting menu, widely described by reviewers as worth every dollar for the portion size, creativity and wine pairings, though a small minority found the set menu's pacing less impressive on an off night.
