Friends and I went for Wednesday steak night as we had heard it was one of the best in Melbourne. We all ordered the steak for $30.00. It was cooked to perfection, the pepper sauce was delicious. We would have preferred the potato gratin to be a little creamier and salad to consist of more than rocket but overall it was great. We will definitely be returning.

Yeonga is amazing! Staff are great, helpful and friendly. Food is amazing, tasty and fairly priced. My friends & I visit once a month or every couple months & are never disappointed & will continue to return. There is also a 5% discount when paying by cash, which is a bonus! I highly recommend trying, you will not be disappointed. 5 stars

Very nice menu with lots of options. We tried the chef’s feed me option, and devoured every plate. The young french server made our experience even better and was very fun & hospitable.
