When it comes to Asian Fusion, this has to be the best restaurant in Melbourne. Absolutely beautiful food, service is great. Took my wife for her birthday and the friendly staff helped with a nice birthday song and treat to finish a great night.

This little gem of a resturant is a real find. The flavours they deliver in their food is worthy of a visit anytime. It's a small but like the food it packs a punch and the staff are exceptional. Anyone who see this reasturant as recommendation should book without hesitation.

Wait staff were all very friendly and helpful, couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a positive experience. The yum cha was really tasty and a great variety of dishes were offered. Would be good to be able to just select dishes rather than them bringing them all out. Good value for money. Would definitely go back again.
Cha ChingResponded on May 27, 2025
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback! We're stoked you enjoyed the yum cha and our team’s hospitality 💛 We’ll take that note on board — and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! 🥢✨

We absolutely loved our experience at Cha Ching. Everything from the drinks to the food was 10/10. So deliciously! Our server was also such a vibe. She definitely seemed happy to be there and was so fun and friendly. She was always interested to know if we were having a good time and what dishes we were loving etc. She really made our night that much more enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back again.

This makes our day! 🙌 We’re so glad you had a 10/10 time — and we’ll pass the love on to your amazing server 💛 Can’t wait to have you back for more good vibes, great food, and killer drinks! 🥢🍸✨

Good selection of gluten free. Greens with pork belly bites was so delicious, a slight smokiness to it which added to the dish. Humpty Doo Barramundi was outstanding.
Cha ChingResponded on May 27, 2025
Yum — you’ve got great taste! 😍 So glad you loved those dishes (that smoky pork belly is a fave). Thanks for the lovely review, hope to see you again soon! 🐟🔥🥢
