    Cha Ching was an unknown destination for us and our selection was based on public reviews = all the Good reviews understated the outcome for us and the Excellent reviews hit the mark. Why? style and charm were subdued on entry but took a step up with the elegant decor and clever lighting. A display of cocktails ready for customers made a statement. But it was the gracious hosting that guided us to menu favourites and best value that opened our eyes to the wonderful choices. And we chose very well across a variety of food styles that nonetheless complemented each other and were beautifully presented. Top class staff

    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.
