My boss and I randomly found this place in Chinatown on the second floor- we were just gonna walk…read morearound and see anything in Melbourne Chinatown and see what we'd get. I believe this place serves AYCE hot pot but for two people, we decided to just get the dishes. The prices are about 20-30AUD for the most part. Kung Pao prawns with red pepper and peanuts- the prawns here are so fresh. And if you think they prawns here aren't spicy, you gonna be incorrect, sir/madam! The prawns here are gonna be juicy and spicy. The peanuts are gonna be on the bottom of your dish and you gonna love it. Stir fry beef with vegetables on iron plate. OMG. Why does Melbourne food taste so delicious ._. The beef is so fresh and so spicy ;_; I even ate the bell peppers. That's how good this dish was for me. If you're not a fan of the Szechuan style, then you're probably not gonna find too much here at China Chilli. Love the food. Would probably come again hehe. Also, you get the check and then pay at the front!

After a long day of driving and very little food, we were hungry and tired. Hot pot sounded great…read moreand we headed to China Chilli. On a Saturday night, the restaurant was buzzing and there was a 20-30 minute wait. I was so excited when they finally called to let me know the table was ready. It was my friend's first time eating hotpot and I'm glad he lost his hotpot virginity here. This is a very authentic experience. We got the double pot with fish/chicken broth in the middle and spicy broth outside. If I were to do it again, I'd switch the order because they spicy broth ended up being a bit too much. The sauce bar was great and there were tons of options to make the best sauce you can imagine. We tried many of the menu items- sliced beef, pork, lamb, tender beef, fried pork, fish fillets, fish balls with pork inside, shiitake mushroom, soft tofu, sweet potato noodles, rice cakes, pea sprouts, and bok choy. The tender beef was one of my favorites but I was already stuffed by the time we got to it. I should've paced myself better. In the end, all I could eat was not that much but we had a great time nonetheless.

The food is generally very nice here but the service is just the worst you will ever get. They act…read morelike you are eating for free. They dont offer drinks and the bar staff huff and puff when u go and order your own drink. SUPER SUPER EXPENSIVE TO BE TREATED LIKE A PEASANT.

We went to Crazy Wings for dinner, we didn't have a booking but we felt lucky to get a table as the…read moreplace was busy - the waiter removed a reserved sign and sat us down. I really liked the system of ordering the food, you are given a sheet of paper with the menu and you put in the quantity of each item you want. I guess the main items on the menu is the different marinated chicken wings, we tried a few of them and also a few other meats and vegetables. I think getting a few wings and a fried rice to share is the way to go for a couple. I don't suggest you get the crazy wings (the hottest chicken wings) unless you can handle extremely spicy food - I didn't enjoy the taste or the spice. The decor isn't the best but the service was quick and the food was good. The waiters were quite friendly . We enjoyed our dinner.

One of my favorite haunts I visit every time I find myself in Melbourne. There is large variety of…read morebridge noodles to choose from but my favorite is definitely the spicy cold Sichuan noodle and the spicy sticks. Beware though the spicy cold noodle is really just an appetizer (or at least it's sized that way) and the sticks won't fill you up either. The bridge noodles though is good enough to share so come with at least 1 friend and you will be able to taste a variety of dishes.

Starts with the waitress doing a hard sell on the beer! Then the sauce is $3 each person?! Skewers are $0.70 each stick. Premium items like 1 x baby octopus has 2 sticks poked into it. Now what pisses me off!!! The bowl of tripe is $5.80 or something like that. What you actually get is one layer of tripe and underneath that is an upside down iceberg lettuce!! No wonder at 7.30pm on a Saturday night there is only 4 tables! Pretty empty. The skewers are a novelty! The soup base at $30 odd bucks.. you wouldn't want to come here with just 2 people. There are plenty of other hotpot places that have better soup bases and better pricing!!! WIR? not any time soon but would give it a second chance.

Wasted half an hour looking for this restaurant, only to find out it was closed. Booooooo,read more

So many restaurants to choose in Chinatown but so glad we chose Dragon Boat! A very comfortable…read morerestaurant with a good wine selection and menu including live seafood choices. Lots of choices made it hard to choose so we tried a few appetisers and mains. The service was very good and staff friendly. The food came quickly and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend the scallops and the crocodile. Standard choice of Asian desserts. Plenty of seating for couples, small or large groups. There are a few steps at the entry and restrooms are upstairs so not suitable for disabled access. All credit cards accepted including American Express. Highly recommended.
