This was my second Birthday I've spent with loved ones at Hua Lu and as always it was fantastic. The Peking duck was divine and all of the other dishes we shared were incredible also. The staff were friendly and helpful and the venue gives the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. I'd love to see some mocktails on the venue for those who don't drink alcohol. This is going to become a yearly Birthday tradition I'm sure. 😊

1) We ordered drinks and they didn't have SO MANY things. Not just talking alcoholic but non-alcoholic. Like it is a restaurant how do you not have more than 50% of menu items. 2) We asked for spoons 4 times to 4 different people. Waited so long for it. 3) My friend accidentally knocked her water but the waiter was rude by asking if she was drunk. 4) Servers were not friendly at all and so eager to clear our plates. We WERE NOT even finished. There was literally food left on the plate and they wanted to clear it.

The catering products are pretty good, among which the boiled fish is relatively delicious. However, it may be due to the first day of the Lunar New Year that there are more customers, and the service needs to be further improved.

Food was okay for Sunday Yum Cha, however we were put into the VIP room and service then became non existent. Multiple times I had to flag down a waiter to get food from the carts.

Visited this restaurant for Yum Cha, and I must say the food was excellent! Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and of outstanding quality. The consistency and attention to detail in the preparation truly set this place apart. The staff were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and efficient. They made us feel very welcome and ensured we had a pleasant dining experience. That said, there are a couple of areas for improvement. Firstly, basic sauces like soy sauce and chili oil should be placed on the table as a standard without guests needing to ask. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference in convenience. Secondly, for larger tables (we had a table of 8), a lazy Susan would make sharing dishes much more practical. It’s surprising that this is reserved only for the Premium Room. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few opportunities to elevate the service to match the high-quality food. Looking forward to coming back!

Was excited to go here on our first night in Melbourne, but it was ultimately a poor experience. They have a QR code for the menu, which is common these days, but the app is primitive and poor, and even the menu is hard to read. Clicking the wine by the glass tab, for example, takes you to a list of cocktails. There’s no one to help you or answer questions or even advise you on best dishes. Not much different from ordering at McDonald’s. We had a great squid and chicken casserole, but the Peking duck was nothing special. The second and third courses were really disappointing in fact— a watery soup with no depth and then inedible sweet and sour duck parts.
