Comments of Dong Ting-Little Fish & Rice Town 洞庭渔米湘菜馆

D. L.

A nice semi casual Chinese restaurant focused on Hunan cuisine. We enjoyed the main dishes, especially the fish which was soft and lightly seasoned. The soup didn’t seem very fresh at all. The service could be quicker but staff were friendly. Overall worth a try if in the area.

Had an amazing feast at this spot last Friday! Very authentic Hunan dishes PLUS a wide selection of alcohol!! Lychee cider, beer and wine, you name it. Love the Dong Ting Lamb Chop (that crisp skin’s chef kiss!), Pork Belly w/ preserved veggie and the JUMBO size siu mai. Generous serving and delish (dishes can go really spicy upon requests!).

N. T.

If you’re looking for authentic spicy Chinese food, this is the best place in town. We have been to this place many times and all the dishes we tried are super yum and spices were just right (reminds me of my hometown’s food). But do warn anyone who can’t handle chillies, as most dishes can be spicy hot 🔥 🌶

D. T.

Their taste is authentic! So good, would definitely come back here again next time. We all agree that the braised pork trotter with stinky tofu tofu alone deserves 5 stars for its flavour and price.Steamed Silver Carp in Chilli Sauce l favorite too.Highly recommended!

R. S.

This place is just one of the best Chinese food in Melbourne. Authentic specialist dishes from Hunan province the taste and flavours are just amazing. We keep going back and every dish we try is better than the last. Local secret for Melbourne

L. H.

Been to this place heaps of times and they never let me down. Authentic food from Hunan province and attentive service make me feel like home. Some dishes are spicy and hot so watch out (!) but they do have non-spicy ones and those are great too. They provide delivery service during this lockdown period too - great set menu at fair price!

Good and delicious Chinese food, xiang style cuisine, in the heart of Melbourne. Kindly staff keep looking after everyone customer with respect. I liked the Spicy chicken and pork ribs, it was really good. Overall, the place is good to be visit and enjoy the environment.

J. H.

I had only one dish here, the dried noodle with spicy beef which was very tasty with a great texture. Also the staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be coming back with a crowd to try more dishes.

I caught my PB Snapper from Port Phillip Bay at 6.4kg. What better way to eat it than have it prepared by a professional chef, Hunan style at Dong Ting!? We spoke to the owner who said they would happily cook it for us. When we arrived I handed over the fish and we sat drinking cold beers while magic happened in the kitchen. It was a big fish so the chef prepared it three ways: 1. Hong Shao fish 2. Steamed with chili sauce 3. Tofu fish hot pot All were absolutely delicious! Also, I highly recommend the chili beef jerky (not sure the proper name for that dish) and the lobster tail was beautifully prepared. The staff and the venue vibe were great and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening! If you’re looking for authentic contemporary Hunan style Chinese food, I definitely recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely dinner here the other night. Tried a huge variety of their Hunan style dishes and they were all super authentic and tasty! My favourite was the spicy steamed fish and the beef stew !! Great service as well

Z. W.

Food is generous and plentiful. Very accommodating. Staff went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Very authentic Chinese food in well spaced out restaurant. They also have a number of favorite Chinese menu items. Will make a return :) Recommended to everyone!!!

A. L.

The food here tastes good. The steamed silver perch was delicious. The service is also friendly and the restaurant has a modern cafe feel to it. The reason why it's only ok though is the value. Dishes are quite expensive when compared to the portion size. Between 4 ppl we ordered 3 mains with 3 rice, came up to $80 and everyone was still hungry afterwards.

y. E.

One of the best chinese restaurants in Melbourne. Very friendly staff and great Hunan chilli cuisine. Definitely coming back again :).

S.

Great food in a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I come in sometimes for a quick bite of sizzling spicy fish or a fish/beef noodle soup. If with friends, I recommend the steamed seafood hotpot (sauce is amazing) or the winter hotpot stew (amazing sauce again).

S. Z.

A very lovely place for authentic Xiang cousin, an extremely spicy variety of Chinese cousin. The dining environment is spacious and well lighted, with decora of Xiang features. Food are very delicious but a bit oily. The way to enjoy without regrets is to order a cooling agent like steamed pumpkin.

V. V.

Good and delicious Chinese food in the heart of Melbourne. Kindly staff keep looking after everyone customer with respect. I liked the Fish & Lemon Soup, it was really good. Overall, the place is good to be visit and enjoy the environment.

E. L.

A little culinary gem! The dishes are delicious and generous in portion.

시.

People think they only have spicy food😂 But they do have non spicy, crispy, rich flavor menu🍲 I suggest fried rice🍛 and stir fried pork🐽 and they have really great seasoned eggplants🍆 Two tumbs up!👍👍

E. K.

This restaurant serves Chinese dishes with some special Hunan dishes. We tried their noodle that comes with pork slices and pickled green beans. The noodles have a little bounce on it but overall tastes bland as if the components are not combining well together. The pork with pickled vegetables are pretty good. The pork are soft and the pickled vegetables a little salty Food - 5 Service - 8 Vibe - 6 Price - $$$

B. M.

Chinese restaurant offering a range of styles. My favourite is the boiled spicy fish. It is freshly prepared and has just the right amount of spice. It usually does a good business, but custom is down probably because of the many Chinese students still in China. Staff are mostly attentive and some if them speak pretty good English.

V. C.

Excellent customer service and nice food. Their must try noodles are indeed a must try - very yummy.

S. L.

If you ever want to try Hunan cuisine, can give this a try. Could always ask the staff for recommendations if you do not know what to order.

E. P.

Stir-fry pork and asparagus, stir-fry broccoli and dried rice were all delicious.

S. A.

Amazing restaurant with a mix of traditional food and fantastic Aussie-Hunan fusions (sizzling Barra). Love this restaurant.

D.

Expectation VS Reality. Overpriced and disappointing. I should have check the google review first, apparently three-star is already the highest.

兴. G.

Comfortable environment for Chinese meal, either quick one or order dishes. Clean and quiet ambience very unlike other Chinese restaurants which are noisy. And the toilet is absolutely clean and friendly to the aged and disadvantaged. A big thumbs up !!!

m. f.

The chefs here is really experienced, reminds me of home town, the staff is friendly and a good selection of food variety.

B. M.

Fantastic restaurant. A great place to take family, friends and work colleagues. The beautiful flavors of the Hunan Province come out in every dish.

J. J.

As an Australian i have traveled north and south China....all the attempts to replicate those of Asian cuisine here in Melbourne have failed. I must say this is the best and most authentic Chinese cuisine I have had here in Melbourne ! Highly recommend!

K. L.

What a great new it place for Melbourne foodies! It is very rare to have authentic Xiang in Australia, and this one is simply the masterpiece of authentic Xiang spices mixed with Australian's finest fresh good! For those who prefers healthy diet, this is not your typical Chinese greasy food. Some of the nutritious dishes are free of msg yet taste fabulous!

J. C.

We had their “big bowls” for lunch. It’s a bit pricy for a typical workday lunch. The serve size is reasonable. I had the fish vermicelli (dong ting scene). The flavour is okay but lacking texture. Overall the seating at this place is spacious and the atmosphere is good.

X. L.

Very tasty! Authentic! Highly recommended for the spicy food lovers. Staffs are very friendly. Like their dining environment too.

E. W.

Forth time here. Really good spicy food. Great dinning environment. My colleague and I love to have a meal while typing&talking here!

As a guy from Hunan Province of China, I am sure that Dong ting is the best restaurant to provide authentic Hunan cuisine.
