Chef David 大味江湖 Reviews

Chefdavidmelbourne has a great hot pot deal 😍 For $99, you get a Barramundi, 4 sides, a jug of juice, boiled rice, chicken, & beef skewers, all included in the deal. What a winning deal 👍 Dinner with a couple of Chef David lagers made this a memorable night. And if you like spice 🌶 this is your place 😃 Thanks for having me. #collab

Went there to celebrate a mate's birthday, and it did not disappoint. I like the dark setting. The call button and charging spots on the table were so handy. It'll be great to have more restaurants having that! I mean, we're always on our phones. I thoroughly enjoyed the skewers on the hot plate and the fried rice. The garlic cucumber was so fresh and fragrant. The only disappointment was that they served us a dish when we had already wrapped up our dinner. We had to ask for a refund for it. All in all, I am super happy and would recommend you all to try again.

So good! Attentive and kind staff and amazing food and flavours.

I had high hopes for this place, however my expectations for a great date night fell well short. When you walk in its how it presents on instagram, music, atmosphere etc so tick but thats where it ends and the bright lights stop hiding the shortcomings. The service is what you would expect from a local Asian eatery, little to no interaction other then this is how you order... The food, lack lustre at best. Presentation average. Taste lacking. Drinks, you cant stuff whisky up. Maybe im being overly critical because i left disappointed but my expectations fell well short. Would i return - no. Theres alot of better options in the city if youre more focused on food quality rather then atmosphere.

Chinese faulty towers must have been a new manager the service was atrocious. I asked the manager for chilli and soya sauce he asked the waitress did she know what I was talking about as he could not speak English and he also showed us the menu in Chinese that was fun ridiculous stuff. I asked for an ice bucket she looked at me like I had two heads she then brought me the chopped chilli I said you do know what soya sauce is she said yes and finally brought it to me with a very disgruntled look on her face. Five useless waiters just standing around looking at us while I was pouring my our wine. Numb nuts did clear our plates eventually after the manager pointed to us multiple times. Service really needs attention food was good but I wouldn’t rush back.

I dont know if the service staff was having an off day or a day off. The service was horrendous and the food was aggressively mediocre. Would not recommend

good drinks

good food

@chefdavidmelbourne on Elizabeth Street is a vibrant gem in Melbourne's CBD, celebrated for its fusion of bold Sichuan flavors with a modern twist. The restaurant’s chic, neon-lit interior and dramatic dry ice presentations set the stage for a memorable dining experience. It’s a great choice for group dining, with a menu crafted for sharing—highlighting everything from spicy Sichuan specialties to fresh seafood. Featured Special: ✨ $119 Grilled Barramundi Deal ✨ This deal includes: A perfectly grilled Barramundi with a choice of 6 flavorful sauces 4 delectable side dishes 2 types of skewers 2 servings of rice 1 refreshing jug of plum juice We opted for this set, which comfortably serves 2-3 people, and it didn’t disappoint. The salt and pepper squid with Sichuan spices was a standout, and choosing the mild spice level was just right for balanced heat. We're already planning a return visit to try their famous Peking Duck, which is a must-have on their menu.

The fish here was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was absolutely on point—every bite was perfection. I love this spot! The three-floor dining area is impressive, and the vibes are just amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

amazing food and great atmosphere! Will definitely come back !
