Operating Hours11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9:30pm daily

Dainty Sichuan is known for its high-quality Chinese cuisine, and while many people prefer to visit the South Yarra restaurant, Chinatown now offers a variety of Dainty choices. Among them, there are restaurants that specialize in hotpot, skewers, and noodles. However, the branch at 149 Lonsdale Street, which is adorned with vigour in gold, wood, and crimson, is probably the finest choice for the entire Dainty 360.

4. Shandong Mama

Phone+61 3 9650 3818
Emailshandongmamaying@gmail.com
Operating Hours11am-9pm daily

On first glance, the location, cuisine, or big letters in the name of this little hole in the wall do not imply ‘smash hit.’ It’s all due to the might of mackerel dumplings. There are other tasty dishes on the menu, but the mackerel is where it’s at, whipped into a mousse and dusted with cilantro, ginger, and chives before being served boiled or potsticker style.

5. Mr. Meng

Operating Hours10am-10pm daily

In his hometown of Chongqing, China, Meng Fei has made a reality of his childhood ambition to bring the tastes of his region to the rest of the world. The Chongqing noodle soup is well-known across the country, but fans also appreciate the Meng variant on dan dan noodles.

6. Flower Drum

Address17 Market Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
Phone+61 3 9662 3655
Emailenquiry@flower-drum.com
Operating Hours12pm-3pm and 6pm-11pm Monday to Saturday, 6pm-10:30pm Sunday

Flower Drum, with its meticulously unaltered decor and a crew as polished as the gleaming woodwork, might be confused for something frozen in time. Don’t be misled. The quality of Cantonese classics such as excellent crisp-skinned chicken, Peking duck prepared with care, and exceptional crab can be set by your watch – but the restaurant wears its 40-plus years lightly, the wine list sparkling, and the food still capable of surprising.

7. Mama Mulan
