Tea House On Burke Rd Camberwell

I'd only been here once before, back in 2016, and thought to try it again. I wish I'd done so earlier, because it was soooo incredibly good and delicious. Honestly, the food is great. The food takes a little bit of time to come out (even during non peak times), but the actual service is very good and they're attentive and the meals all came out at the same time, which is almost unheard of in many Chinese restaurants (that I've been to). They even give you delicious sugar cookies at the end of the meal. They could definitely stand to freshen up and modernise the decor and repaint the dirty and old shabby looking walls, but overall that's really about the only complaint. Everything we ate, we loved and I'll definitely be coming back again.

I’ve been coming to THOB for over 15 years. First with friends for lunch when we worked locally in real estate, to now after living interstate and overseas for 10 plus years, it was a place we loved to go to. After being back in Melbourne for two years, I have to say we initially loved eating here but our last two in house dining experiences weren’t great. Both times, our immediate family plus aunts and uncles, grandma and friends felt the change. We felt pressured and rushed to order (a mid week siting at 6pm with kids) so not busy, severs that couldn’t understand what we were saying, trying to clear the table before we had fully finished and overall, not friendly servers. Their normally great food was hit and miss. We won’t return and feel that the staff couldn’t care less. Nor did they care to ask or give us a smile.

What a lovely restaurant. The dishes were delicious & the service is masterful. Very experienced & friendly waiting staff at your service. The attention to detail is very much noticeable and greatly appreciated. Highly recommended. December 2020: You can't go wrong at Tea House on Burke. Cantonese cuisine at it's best. March 2021: Back here again. Service is great. Dishes are delicious. Highly recommended.
