    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.

    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.

    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! 🥢✨
