Considering whenever I go to Box Hill and I'm looking for something cheap and good I go here for the honey chicken with fried rice, and the taro with coconut cream. but seriously the taro smoothie is so good i love it. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal at this place. The staff are always so welcoming especially the owner.
Good roast duck and pork. The only negative I would say it is not pram friendly, we tried it once and unfortunately it was pleasant. We kept getting bumped by the waiting staff and customers. It's not their fault. But the food is great, always a roast or their rice/noodle dishes. Would not recommend their dim sims and other yum cha dishes because it doesn't taste that nice and not freshly made. That's just my opinion. Stick to their roasts.
I always based my experience of China Bar from the CBD experiences. Not very fair.
First time dining in and I really enjoyed my casual dining experience there. Tea is constantly topped up. Server are attentive and fast too. I had Roast Duck Dry Noodle, approx $14. You may think itβs too pricy for such dish but the quality you are getting is definitely good for 2 person sharing. So do the maths. Quite price worthy! I am sick actually but I can enjoy the food.
Will visit again. 4 stars because I was craving for some wine but they donβt do alcohol menu. I know Iβm sick, but alcohol cures all sickness. π

Good ol' China Bar with @bite_me_melbourne! π It only came to my attention recently that China Bar is exclusive to Melbourne π€ so if you're new to Melbourne or simply visiting for a few days, China Bar is your LATE NIGHT spot, any day of the week for a decent asian fix!π there's a saying here that goes, "if all else fails, CHINA BAR!" βπ½ im pretty sure that's how most indecisive food conversations go anyway π
its true though π€ now i know some people downright don't like or are over it.. but China Bar, in my opinion, is a GREAT spot and option, that you know will fill you up with damn good asian food for a decent price π its always around and always open, that its become somewhat of a local maccas! π€ lol so if you're ever in need of a late night night fix and can't decide? China Bar it! π

β 7/10! These guys make some TERRIFIC classic dishes! βπ½ always been a fan of their roast duck and crispy pork π€€ beautiful, juicy, chunky pieces of roast duck with tasty, fatty skin and great portion sizes! ππ½ also their char kway teow is π₯ portions are always great! ππ½ the price has crept up in recent years however still good value for money π° the food tastes brilliant! π excluding the comparison of your higher end chinese and asian spots. GREAT FOOD, GOOD PORTIONS, CHEAP, QUICK AND CONVENIENT! ππ½ can't ask for much more at 12am π
.
π‘ TIP - my only concern with China Bar is the consistensy across stores! π€ personally i swear by the BOX HILL store! π they cater to whatever combinations you want and the food is always GREAT! Swanston St can be a hit and miss at times depending on the traffic and Glen Waverley has stepped it up a little in recent times π BOX HILL store though is my GO-TO ππ½
I have eaten at many Chinese restaurants (yes, surprise) in Box Hill. This is, hands-down one of the very BEST. The decor is friendly and VERY clean, the staff are so accommodating and likeable and the food...well, what can I say? The BBQ portions are only exceeded by the flavour. Do yourself a favour, grab some dumplings, noodle dish, beef dish, giant soups, well; anything, really. I've never been able to finish China Bar's indulgent dishes, but always serve me well the next day or two. Fast, efficient, friendly, tasty and overall, brilliant. Don't forget that parking is just over the road - for a $1/hour.
I've got no complaints on the China Bar at Boxhill. Convenient for busy workers running around 24/7 because its open till early morning.
Food is great as always but the exceptional part is that the portions are HUGE!
Its the same price as the other branches but the portion sizes are craazy!
The staff were nice even at busy hours. Went there at 12am and it was packed.
Mushroom n chicken friedrice - not a huge fan but was ok
China bar fried rice - loved it
Beef brisket on rice - the beef was so succulent loved it
Crispy pork fried rice - my winner. Loved it
Love the food and love the people even more great place for a feed recommend it! Very consistent place never disappoint, my go to places whenever Iβm hungry.
I have been coming here for almost the past 20 years...yes, it's been here for that long! There have been changes to their menu every now and again but this particular branch of China Bar serves solid, consistent and tasty dishes. Yes, the floor is a bit sticky. Yes, it's a bit squishy especially when it's busy. And yes, the service is not sterling BUT they have one of the best roast meats around.
Roast duck, char siu and crispy pork.....their delicious triad of meats never disappoints. The accompanying sauces accentuate the already highly tasty meats. Here's to another 20 years, China Bar Boxhill!
Had Seafood tom yum noodles soup,wonton noodles soup and nasi lemak. Was delicious. Loved the seafood tom yum soup (spicy). Good customer service. ππ

I went here on a late Saturday night. I wasnβt going to order much food but then I saw Hainanese Chicken Rice on the menu. After the awful chicken rice in Werribee I needed some good chicken rice to make up for it.
My friends ordered honey chicken, chicken laksa and pork dumplings to share. Everything came out very quickly, my friendβs honey chicken came out instantly. My chicken rice was last to come out hehehe. It was a huge serving but it was pretty tasty so I ate all of it. The rice couldβve had a bit more chicken flavour but at least it didnβt have curry powder hehehe. The chicken was flavoursome and the sauces were perfect. I saw a couple of other people in the restaurant having chicken rice too. The dumplings were good and I really liked the sweet vinegary red sauce that came with them.
The service was interesting. When they were grabbing our order and clearing our dishes they did it in a hurry and they were a bit rough, they nearly knocked my friendβs phone off the table. Other than that they were friendly enough. I would come back here next time I have late night Asian food cravings, Iβd probably get the crispy chicken rice next time. Iβve had sweet and sour chicken at China Bar years ago and I remember it being really good.
Amazing packed menu with amazing and interesting options
Heading in to enjoy some dinner we thought why not try something different reading through the menu we saw chicken feet why not we thought and damn we were glad we did
Amazing food great potions hreat price and they were so busy but still managed to produce some amazing quality food and so so fast
Highly recommend and will definitely return
Amazing food. We ordered chicken fried rice. It's a lot and easily a portion for two and it was great. Garlic prawn spring rolls were like so crunchy and yummy. They stood out of all the dishes and a must eat fish at every visit. Seafood soup is something I did not like and my fried ordered prawn fried rice. I highly recommend ordering your fried rice spicy and you shall be eating food sitting at the doors of heaven. We also ordered some seafood noodles which was good.
Food is very tasty and hot. Quick service.
Old school establishment. Opens late. Full range menu with all the classic Cantonese dishes. Consistent taste. Fair prices. Great comfort food. What more can you ask for?
