Always being here after busy work because it opens until 2:00am. :)
The dishes are above average but not perfect. At least is the best one among the station st.
A fairly new restaurant in Box Hill, I have been here only once however my first impression on this restaurant is second to none, well at least around box hill. We ordered stir fried chicken with oyster sauce, chicken dumplings and rice. The service was prompt, the food was delicious with big portions of it. Although I did find it a bit awkward that when I asked for water they served hot water so I had to order cold water again. But that was just the downside of the restaurant. Also there is another thing that I want to mention if you are thinking about visiting the restaurant is that they do not give you the menu that is shown outside and you need to ask for it which I felt was a bit weird since the menu they provide is a bit expensive version of the one shown outside; nonetheless the environment was super nice with clean and modern interior with good food after all that's what matters. Will be visiting the place again soon and hopefully I will be increasing the rating too.
Went there yesterday (Fri 28 Oct) as a family of six to celebrate the niece's birthday. Ordered quite a lot of dishes (being a laowai can't remember fancy Chinese names...LOL - have a look at the pix). Nice and quiet place (got busy later, it was Friday afternoon), friendly and prompt service. Quality of food - very good. Prices - very decent! Cuisine - I am told it's Beijing )))) Overall impression - good. Recommended.
Good food, tasty but there is room for improvement in the service. Only one person working, understaffed, hot water provided was luke warm at best.
We went there on Sunday afternoon. The place was clean and tidy. We had home made braised pork hock and stir fried chicken noodle with satay sauce.
The pork hock was a cold dish, which was very special and delicious. The jelly-like meat did not taste fatty or greasy. Chicken noodle was nice too.
There was room to improve for service. We were not offered with any tea or water.
We will go back to try more cold dishes.

We went there again for dinner. We had the cold dish, pork hock again, which was still tasty.
The homemade chicken dumplings were very nice, in which the fragrance of the mushroom and meat blend very well together.
What a great place for authentic Beijing cuisines. We tried their tofu with little spice which was so delicious. Firm, spongy and great aromatic flavours. The deep fried pork was sizzling hot when it arrived and was so crispy. The fried rice was plain and not too oily making it a perfect combo with the other dishes. The dumplings are also wrapped fresh so there was minimal juice that came out of them.
I don’t know why this place has so many bad reviews. We had lunch at this restaurant few days ago and it was great! This is an old school restaurant nothing fancy but all the food we had was delicious and service was pretty quick.
What we had:
🍖 Crispy pork ribs (holy moly! This one was so good, reminds me of home! Very delicious)
🥬 stir fried cabbage with chilli (good)
🍚 Beef fried rice with soy sauce (amazing! Must try)
🦪 XO Pippies (great)
🍗 Signature spicy chicken (it’s massive and so delicious! The only down side was it had too many small bones)
Price is good and generous portion!

A traditional Chinese feast is what we need on cold winter evenings. @foodstories.au in Boxhill is a perfect classic and very, very old school Chinese restaurant serving the most authentic Chinese food you’ll ever find in Melbourne.
What we had here:
Whole baby chicken with Sichuan sauce and peppercorn, really spicy but very addictive, might leave your mouth numb from the heat and leaves a tingling after taste, yet it was honestly so comforting and a perfect antidote to beat the crazy Melbourne cold. Must try, if you’re good with spicy food.
Pork hock, the tender and easily melt—in-the-mouth pork hock is a must try, feels very fresh to eat it.
Sizzling stir beef with onions and capsicums, this one is packed with so much flavours and is mildly spicy and the tender juicy beef pieces are really yummy. Highly recommend
Pork dumplings, very comforting, and the fillings is really delicious. Must try.
Special fried rice, wow this was my absolute favourite, had simple and satisfying flavours and tasted very mouthwatering. Must try for sure.
The prices are very standard and their elaborate menu features so many varieties of tasty Chinese food.
So why not visit this weekend @foodstories.au with your friends/family for dinner/lunch.
Great choose your own food and they cook in a tasty soup.
