I don't pick many Chinese spots but B's friend wanted Peking duck and Pacific Seafood BBQ House is one of the go to spots for roasted meats. They have a second location in South Yarra. We dropped in on a holiday Friday for dinner (6:30pm). The service is surprisingly good and food comes out extremely quickly. The walls are lined with special dishes and prices for seafood. The menu isn't as big as normal (a nice change) but it's split into roast dishes, entrees, soup, crocodile meat, chicken, duck, beef, pork, clay pot, seafood, vegetable/bean curd, fried noodles and rice. - Soup - complimentary bowls of delicious root vegetable soup. Reminded me of my grandma's soup. - 4x Steamed rice ($3.50/person) - wow, I didn't realize they charged each person for rice. You get a pot and it's refillable but that's still highway robbery. - Peking duck ($32.00 AUD) - it's been awhile since I've had Peking duck but this was excellent. Not fatty at all but tender, moist and a light, crispy skin. Delectable. - 8x Jumbo oysters ($3.50 each) - these were cooked. Almost had an eggy texture. Good but I'll still take fresh oysters 'errday of the week. - Barramundi ($61.60 AUD) - they charge $28.00/0.5 kg. Our fish weighed in at 1.10 kg. Pretty hefty and pricey but sometimes, you just got to splurge. We got it steamed in a black bean sauce. Tender and flaky but I wanted more oomph from the sauce. - Snow peas sprouts with minced garlic ($24.00 AUD) - these are always delicious but pricey. Here's no different. It's solid Chinese food but you're paying a premium for it. Cash only.

Crab noodles and fried tofu

I've been coming to this place for years and years and the food is simply divine! Its a really good place to come for some delicious food with family or friends for any occasion, or just for a simple meal. Ive had birthdays and catch ups and the food has consistently remained the same. However, it can get quite busy, so it's always good to book or come after 7pm for dinner. Due to the busy nature, the service isn't ideal, but I've had far worst service at other places. If you do come with a group, try their crab noodles and fried chicken ribs.....DELICIOUS!

The place is now always drafty from the AC and the roast meats are served cold.

Had never been to this place before tonight and I wasn't in the mood for dumplings. So I was…read morealready going to be overly critical. How surprised was I! There is a huge selection of food, not just dumplings, to choose from. We didn't know what to expect so got the street tasting platter to start, what a winner! This selection changes weekly so we've decided it's going to be a permanent addition to our order there (which we also decided was going to be a regular occurrence). I wasn't a huge fan of the cumin beef on the platter. But everyone else adored it. My fave was definitely the silky tofu, cooked to perfection with wonderful flavours. There was also a chicken dish and tempura eggplant. Delish! We tried the house special dumplings, the sauce was divine. An amazing combination of sweetness and spices that created a very slow burn heat. We also got the kung pao chicken, which was delicious. Not the star of dinner, but definitely tasty. The staff were lovely, we were catching up and the restaurant was quiet so they left us alone but we're there in an instant if we looked like we wanted anything. The whole night for 4 people with no drinks was about $20pp

A hankering for dumplings usually means a tram ride city to go to Chinatown or drive to Richmond. I…read morewas excited by the prospect of getting dumplings a little closer to home now that the cold winter nights have set in. So Ms. Four and I headed off down Smith Street to check out Bowl Bowl and (in her words) "smash some dumpling Dad!" It didn't disappoint. Service was great - our waiter helped us settle the pan fried vs steamed argument by choosing the combinations for us. The food and drinks were prompt - the service was attentive. The 'Water bomb" dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) were the highlight - perfectly sized to comfortably eat in one go and the broth was delicious. We also really enjoyed the Salt & Pepper chicken on rice - crispy and not oily what-so-ever. The waitstaff took care to put the spicy seasoning in a side dish so that Ms. Four could eat it. The restaurant itself was comfortable, simple and clean - the kitchen looked clean and organised. Given it's in the neighbourhood and the service was good I'd happily go for mid-week dumplings there again.

There are many seafood restaurants in Melbourne, and after digging through Yelp to find the best…read moreone, RST kept coming up, so I finally relented, made a reservation, and jumped in an Uber. As I walked inside, I was taken at how small and quaint this place was. The hostess said, "You must be Cosmo." I laughed and said yes- I must've been the only one to make a reservation that night! There was a small bar as I walked in, and I was guided to the dining room, where there were a few other diners sitting, about half full. I was shown to my table and given a menu. She handed me a menu, and asked if I wanted water, to which I said yes, tap was fine. She left me as I perused the menu, and she quickly returned with water and pointed out the board behind me, which had all the fresh fish and specials of the day. I wanted Lobster, and happily, I saw it on the board. I asked which of the prawn starters was better, and she offered a taste of both! I then ordered a lobster. I ordered green beans on the side. I also ordered a cold beer, which she brought immediately. I was brought a plate of 2 prawns which were both divine, and then another plate with another 2 prawns, and they were divine as well. I am glad I was given the option. And then my main course came, beautifully prepared, large chunks of lobster in the shell. The Green Beans were beautiful, and I must say, some of the best I have ever had! Cooked perfectly, and the almonds were delicious. The lobster was to die for- tender and flavorful, cooked perfectly. I savored each bite. I ordered a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc with my lobster, and then had a cheese plate to finish. I sat there finishing my wine and enjoying the cheese. What a great dinner! I paid my bill, and all the staff thanked me, and I left, yearning to come back one day. For now, it will be a wonderful memory...

So far the best seafood I have found in Melbourne. Good selection of seafood. Love the pan seared…read morescallops. Very nice atmosphere and not too big. Make sure you book as this place is popular.
