Char Siu House

Tasty dishes, good portions, and an authentic Melbournian Chinese. With all the price increases and the hospitality style hype in Melbourne it is getting harder to find a place like this where you get a good quantity of delicious food at a fair price. On a Saturday night I went to Char Siu House with two good friends who recommended this place. We ordered four dishes to share, Battered Sweet-Sour Pork, Fried Rice with salted Fish, Golden Chicken Ribs battered in Salted Duck Egg Yolk, and Beef in Egg Gravy. All dishes tasted incredibly good and hit the spot! Char Siu House is 15 minutes walking distance from the outskirt of the CBD. No queue, no fancy setup, it's just about Chinese food at its best. The place is run by a family who puts all their effort in their meals, hence the serving is quick but is secondary.

I am more than appreciated my friends told me this place. Master-made premium golden savoury ✨Roasted Duck✨ in VIC. (Been ordering it for 3 days nonstop) Not gonna lie to you I’m personally not a big fan of duck but their roasted duck… just brings me to PARADISE 🥺 I am such critic of Cantonese food, but their roasted duck were just… It’s just as if I’m in HongKong/Canton. Tender/ juicy/ savoury. Much appreciated and all love 🥺❤️ (And the price were just too decent to be true.🥺)

One of the best Chinese Malaysian cuisines in Melbourne. We had the salted fish and chicken fried rice, I can say it's the best that I have tasted in Melbourne. The BBQ Pork and dry noodle was also good, pork perfectly cooked. Service was awesome too. Definitely would be back when I'm in North Melbourne!

Was looking for a reasonably priced dinner before the comedy show and decided to try this place. Interior is your standard cheap eats, Chinese restaurant vibe. However the food was super tasty and amazing value for money! Great portion sizes, pretty friendly staff. Got the 2 meats on egg fried rice (roast pork and roast duck) and duck stir fried noodles- very delicious! One of my new faves in Melbourne. Will be returning regularly!

March 2022 UPDATE Vast improvement in food quality and service. Has become extremely popular due to its large serving sizes, low prices and BYO option. Fully reopened post COVID. Indoor and outdoor seating. RESTAURANT HAS HAD A MAKEOVER Since my last review, this restaurant has changed its menu, renovated interior - floor now all one level. The food quality is just acceptable but its served quickly and cheerfully. Menu is largely cantonese. There are a few vegetarian options. Chinese tea served in thermos flask (Vietnamese style). We had sweetcorn soup (fairly bland) vegetarian mapo doufu (just OK), fried vegetable (quite good) and fried chicken (very salty) House wine (red or white) is $6 a glass or you can BYO for a $2 per person corkage fee. It's a very casual diner. the sort of place you'd drop in for a quick meal rather than linger.

Delicious hot soup and many other delightful dishes to choose from. The service is quick and reasonably priced food dishes. Everything is fresh and a great menu to choose from. Plenty of tables and seating for dining in. There is excellent QR code screening of customers which demonstrates this venue is COVID safe. Cashless payment using credit or debit card allows for fast transactions either before or after your meal. Wheelchair access might be difficult as there is a single step at the entrance. Overall a great experience to enjoy a good, tasty, well priced, meal; eating in or takeaway.
