Definitely a great spot. Mix of locals and tourists. Food is awesome. We did the chefs tasting and it was a ton of food. Felt stuffed afterwards but it was worth it. Friendly service and cool vibe.
The Red Curry with braised duck Thai basil, son in law egg & coconut rice was beyond amazing. Egg was beautifully done with a soft centre. Rice was super creamy coconutty. Extra roti was delicious
Noisy and bustling, this place serves up some of the best Oz Asian fusion food around. Try the CaramelizedPork, beef short rib with nam pla, braised wagyu with rice roll, and Palm sugar sundae. 👍👍
One of the best meals I had while in AUS. The jungle Wagyu entree is the perfect amount of fragrant and spicy. The spare ribs were delicious and so was the kingfish sashimi. Cocktails at gogo before.
Worth the wait with a bar downstairs to pass the time. The caramelised sticky pork is so tender it melts in your mouth, and the mango sticky ricedessert is a must-try for its turmeric caramel.
always exciting + fun to return to, all time fav has to be the kingfish and pad seuw! Below: twice cooked pork ribs, duck curry, kingfish (lime, coconut, chili,Thai basil),pad seuw braised wagyu beef
Delicious modern Vietnamese food, friendly service, and very lively ambiance. Get their early or at odd hours to avoid the long queues. Reservations are possible only for large parties.
Get here early to avoid hour-long waits. Creative takes on classic SE Asian dishes with good cocktail list. Kingfish Sashimi & sticky pork are must-order. Skip the DYI spring rolls.
yes waiting in line at 5:30 is insane but good lord this is some serious food. kingfish sashimi is breathtaking, annoyingly good; crispy barramundi & green apple salad is like two meals in one.
FEED ME! FEED ME! I can't believe how ridiculously delicious all of the Benjamin Cooper's dishes on this banquet menu. How he mixes flavours are just fenomenal! Try it. Worth it. Plus coconut crushed!
Hipster & crowdy place with nice Asian dishes, esp. for your Instagram feed, with a mix of Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese Chinese & Indian dishes. Sometimes a bit too salty. Bill can also be "salty" 😂
The set menu was fantastic! I asked if we could include the massaman curry, the waitress was extremely helpful and accommodating. The only down side was the wait time 60mins+, but well worth it!
Great vibe and concept. Music downstairs at the bar was on point. Drinks a bit overpriced but well made. Head upstairs for dinner. Worth the wait. Crazy good food. Attentive staff. Get there early.
Get there around 5:30 to avoid having to wait. The pad see ew is a consistent favourite. Bought their cookbook and have recreated a few dishes at home although the real deal is always gonna be better!
Seriously tasty food! The dry rendangcurry, wagyu beef noodles and the duck are recommended! Get there early to put your name down, grab some tasty cocktails in the downstairs bar and then enjoy!
Just an incredible meal; worth the trip to Melbourne alone. Go with the "feed me" option, sit back and get schooled in amazing Thai. Grilled sardines and Berkshire jungle curry were spicy standouts.
It's busy, noisy and the food is freakishly amazing. Sunday's at 12 and week nights and 5ish seem to be the best times to grab an easy table. Go to the bathroom for South East Asian language lessons.
Make reservation and be there on time! Walk in reservation is about 2 hours wait for peak/weekend dinner time! Food is awesome but bit pricy. Portion is OK. But ambience is perfect!Happening!
Queue can be daunting, but it's certainly worth it! Sit up at the bar if solo or a 2! And just got for the one of the 'all-in' options, sizing up depending on how hungry you are. Enjoy.
Pork roll ups and pad Thai were fabulous. It’s really busy, great to go for early dinner or great for late lunch on the weekend if you want to avoid a long wait.
Worth the wait, worth the price! The food was top level and the service was fantastic! A must visit when in Melbourne if you are into amazing food, drinks and service.
Get there early as the place soon filled up! And I know why - probably one of the tastiest meals I have had. Looking forward to returning and eating at the big table with a group of friends.
Incredible food! Salad of Shredded Chicken & Tom Yum Poached Prawns is real fresh and tasty. The Honey Chicken Curry (comes with rice) goes well with serving of Rotibread!
Get here early as at 5:30 a huge line had developed for dinner. If you don't like lime you might want to avoid anything with lime in it as its quite strong. The beef short rib is delicious
The most amazing cocktails and food that I have ever had. Try the pork belly and the crazy cocktail combinations. Get in before 5 to avoid waiting in a queue for ages.
Southern Thai Goat Curry ($29.5) is absurdly excellent, well accompanied by a freshly baked basket of roti's ($7.5). Ask your bartender what drinks can match it.
I spent 9 months travelling the world in 2012, and Chin Chin was the best meal I had. Had the goat curry which was a first for me, absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere in the place too
Very good food and interesting combinations. There's enough for vegetarians, we tried the fritters in lettuce cups which was delish. The eggfried rice is very good too.
Sticky pork and the yellow fin tuna was amazing. Pad Thai was exceptional as well. The Palm sugar ice cream is like a delicious key lime pie reconstruction.
Melbourne’s Chin Chin is easily my favourite restaurant of 2017 (so far). It’s not about quality over quantity, it’s epic quantities of consistent quality. Full review is now up on Spooning Australia
Long wait but we had fantastic fresh oysters with Thai sauce and cocktails at GoGo Bar, hence the wait was bearable. Crunchy school prawns & dry red currysoft shell crab are MUST try. Wonderful place
Hard to get into, but worth a wait. Downstairs has a great bar too - Gogo's. It's Asian infusion food, which I hate as a term, but love as a Chin Chin meal.
Laab Gai, Salt & Pepper Squid, Massam Curry, Carmalised Sticky Pork, Seven HillsBBQgoat. The pork & goat are OUTSTANDING!!! House Pinot Gris is the drop. Staff can't be faulted, perfect service.
