The pricing is very reasonable with a serving of 15 Peking pork dumplings for only $10. This place can get busy so get in early or make a reservation.

Nunawading has no shortage of decent Chinese restaurants, and Lucky Yu just adds to the mix. Lucky…read moreYu has been around for years, and for years I have been a loyal customer, particularly fond of their chicken and sweet corn soup. The funny thing is, I'm not usually a fan of said soup. However one day I arrived home after picking up my Lucky Yu goodies only to discover my won ton soup was actually chicken and sweet corn. Oh the horror! Rather than drive back down, I ate the soup. That was three years ago and I have not looked back, my obsession with chicken and sweet corn extending out of Lucky Yu and into any chinese restaurant I go to. Lucky Yu still holds a special place in my heart though as they were my first.

Now I must admit, I've only been in here once. Usually, if I was after Cantonese, I'd stop at a…read moreplace closer to home. The only reason that I stopped here was because I was on my way to a movie night at a mate's place, and we were all bringing our own takeaway. This place isn't going to make me drive the extra 10 minutes or so just to grab their food, but really, it isn't bad. In fact, it's pretty reasonable food at decent prices. I had beef in blackbean and fried rice, and I walked out of the shop with change from a twenty dollar note. So it isn't expensive for what it is. The serving sizes are pretty good, too. If I'd bought an entree, it would have been enough to feed two people comfortably, but I somehow managed to find my inner manliness to force myself to finish it. You don't leave food when you eat with your mates. It's a sign of weakness. Doubly so if the food is bad. The place itself was relatively neat, possibly a bit on the daggy side, but still acceptable. If I was doing a hard day's furniture shopping on Whitehorse Road, I'd be happy to eat there again.

Add chilli flakes, a bit of soy and mmmmm. We've ordered other menu items and went back to the soup, its the best :-) We usually walk away paying around $25-$28 depending on if we ordered soft drinks. Oh yah, thermos of tea on each table. Always busy, but haven't had to wait long before.

Then again there are so many wonderful restaurants in Melbourne itself that I guess having a meal at each one is nigh impossible. However this was my latest sample of the many fine Vietnamese/Chinese restaurants around here and I must say that it was pretty good. They don't serve alcohol, but they do have delicious smoothies on their menu, as well as a free pot of Chinese tea with your order (which I think is really cool). The meal came out relatively prompty, and was really filling. I would personally highly recommend this place, even if only for the smoothie.

And excellent chinese restaurant featuring Shanghai cuisine, it was perfect for family dinners and birthday celebrations. A tip from me is to pre-order the pan fried buns as they get sold out quite quickly. Also not featured on the dinner menu but it's delicious and available is the Shanghaiese stir fried noodles. If you order the Peking duck, as them to make the soup for you using the duck. You won't regret it

There is large selection of meals available and most recently I had the small roast pork plate. It was just perfection! Well cooked pork with crispy salty crackling, cut into small pieces making it easier to eat sitting on a small bed of bok choy. I almost wish there was slightly less pork bit more veg as the small size was too big for one person. The rice also needed to be ordered separately. Given the price I'm not going to complain and would make this a staple spot when I'm after a decent meal that doesn't break the bank. Highly recommended.

This place reminds me of my time in Thailand ordering food off those street carts. It's loud and hectic inside but it brought back a lot of memories. We ordered paw paw salad or papaya salad which was well balanced in flavours. The pork crackling on top was so good. Sour sausage is delicious. It has rice inside and I usually dipped in the papaya salad sauce to bring extra taste. The tom yum noodles was a bit different to what I'm used to. It didn't really taste like Tom yum. Mm and the dessert - sticky rice with durian reminds me of my mum who makes it at home all the time. But of course if you don't like durian, I dare you to try it!
