Walked past this place and it was packed so decided to go in and check it out
We had to wait 2 mins which wasn’t an issue
The food looked and smelled amazing
We ordered the special fried rice and the Chicken and cashew dish
Both were amazing
The rice had a lot of veg and a lot of shrimp
Chicken was nicely cooked
Wine list had a lot of variety, will be back
This place is a long-time Brighton staple and ever-reliable. We love the window banquette which gives great Church Street scenery and is very cosy in the evening. We went with another couple and just had a few dishes and they are very large so you won't leave hungry... or be hungry and hour later :) Our waiter, Joe, was excellent and friendly and attentive and we can't wait to return. It's also BYO with a nominal corkage fee which is attractive.
The Wasabi Prawn is amazing!!! My favorite not as an appetizer but as main dish!! The honey chicken and jasmine tea is delicious too! I highly recommend this place, to seat or take away :)
Real nice Chinese vibe and showing the real Chinese value through dining experience! Polite, warm and humble. Even just myself 1 person come to lunch, they give the high standard of catering.
Love everything here . Have lived in Brighton for over Four years and finally had dinner here
I seriously cannot believe I hadn’t been earlier. I really cannot fault a single thing at Humble house. The fish dish I ordered ( baby snapper) is now my favourite dish bayside .
The Lobster San Choy Bao and the duck pancakes were just perfect too. Look forward to trying other things on the menu
Always can rely on humble house for some affordable great tasting Chinese food. Good local place if you're feeling a cheap and cheerful night.
The food at Humble House is amazing! It's not cheap but it's superb. The best in Bayside when it comes to Chinese cuisine. The Kung Po Chicken is out of this world. The service is impeccable even when the place is booked out (like it was when I had dinner there on Tuesday this week). If you want an entree do not go past the duck crepes. Delicious with a tasty sauce. Oh it's heaven and you'll find it in Church Street, just opposite the Cinema.
Friendly staff, delicious food and comfortable place. It is quite different from normal Chinese restaurants. Elegant atmosphere. Just walked down the street and found this restaurant. Happy coincidence!
Average food but I applaud for the good service. The food here is mainly catered for Aussie so not much authenticity. Having said that, it's not totally a disaster either. Priced for Brighton suburb, get the hint?
Delicious food and professional service. Our family has been coming here for years and have had many special celebrations here. The best calamari I've ever tasted!
Best takeaway Chinese food in the area. Always consistent and reliable. We stick to the popular sweet and sour pork, sichuan beef and lemon chicken. All pretty heavy and oily but that’s what you expect with these dishes!
Very busy chinese restaurant. Waiters were very attentive and friendly. Vegetable hot and sour soup, vegetable stir fry was lovely. My partner enjoyed his duck soup and duck parcels which was quite filling.
My family have been dining and getting takeaway from Humble House since it first opened. Delicious food always a warm and friendly welcome. I love the vegetarian spring rolls and the chicken teriyaki. Looking forward to many more family occasions at Humble House.
The food is absolutely superb here. The service can be a tad on the cold side, however their fresh ingredients and tasty dishes are still worth the visit to this place.
Excellent service, good quality produce and yummy food, plus it's BYO. Been here a few times and never disappoints. The duck pancakes are amazing!
Awesome. I am up in Brighton for holidays and i am very pleased to find this Authentic chinese resturante.
I eat asian cusine all over melbourne and i loved it here :)
We went to humble house and had the mandarin banquet. It was delicious!! The food came out piping hot Abd had lots if flavour. Duck soup was unlike what I had eaten before and the San Choy bau and suck pancake were fabulous. Beef and prawns very tasty and the Banaba fritter a lovely way to end the meal. Walked away with a full belly and a smile!
Consistently Excellent. We have always found Humble House to be an excellent Chinese restaurant - the service is very friendly and efficient, but most of all the food is fantastic and bottles of fine are priced reasonably. There is something about this place that makes it feel very different to your average local suburban Chinese restaurant. That this restaurant is always full shows we are not the only customers who think the same.
We generally order a banquet, which are excellent value; there are a number to choose from - the portion sizes are generous and the flavours of each course perfect.
Excellent value for money.
A nice evening out. My expectations from a restaurant are wait staff to understand my order, serve my food in a timely manner, the food to be fresh and tasty, good size servings, my table cleared when I've finished and the dining experience to be pleasant for all involved. I can say my family all had happy, full tummies and were looked after well by staff. The reviews for this restaurant were consistently positive which I took on board and wasn't disappointed. Would definitely go back again.
Takeaway dinner. Great takeaway menu and food. Try something different each time and always been happy.
Well done my friends..very consistent. As a somewhat semi-regular to this Church St staple, the folks at Humble House deliver well on many dishes and particularly noting the outstanding Red Duck Curry, it's a winner. Spring rolls are very nice as well. Good value proposition, they are friendly and hospitable. Loving the BYO option as well it is a genuine 'solid place' to visit for both a dinner out or as a takeaway option. Well played indeed.
This is our regular post-movie restaurant. Exceptional service, great food delivered quickly. A little on the pricey side, but BYO helps. About $70 for 2 with 2 mains and rice- no entrees.
The best Asian. Best chinese food i had in the Bayside area. Will go again and again. Love the top stairs dining private area.
Up there with Lau's Family in St Kilda for great Chinese. We had Mongolian Beef, Rainbow Duck special, Prawn Egg White special , Scezuan Eggplant and Chinese mushrooms. All just perfect. No complaints at all
Humble house was a loverly experience. The food was wonderful esp the wasabi prawns. The staff are very friendly and attentive 10/10 for service and 10/10 for the food. Xoxo
Tell It Like It Is Of Brighton
+4.5
Had a Father's Day banquet . The quality of food was very good, so was the service. The only fault was the soup was way too hot which burnt your mouth. Duck soup was also very salty which took away the flavour of the duck. Overall an enjoyable meal will come back!
Great food and great service. Been here many times and never disappointed. Try our favorites - wasabi prawns, baked crab shell, calamari and trumpet mushrooms! Delish!
9/10 would go again. The f.... 9/10 would go again.
The food here is absolutely divine! Went in a large party and ordered the oriental banquet, everything was absolutely perfect.
Our waitress was rather stern and distracted from the otherwise friendly, family-oriented yet intimate atmosphere. Overall, very good!
Best Chinese you can have. We dropped down to the humble house earlier today with no booking, the place was pumping. The manager noticed that we were stressing about finding a table so he suggested a table upstairs and lucky he did.
We started with their signature wasabi prawns that was wow we even asked for seconds of that dish, for mains we had the shredded mandarin beef and lemon chicken both dishes were sensational.
Will be back there any day,
Well done guys.
Early sitting for New Year's Eve and it was pretty busy. Service was prompt, polite and efficient. Normally on New Year's Eve you don't expect too much but Humble House didn't disappoint. The food was was tasty and very enjoyable. We were a party of 8 and all were pleased. Would probably go there again if I was on that side of town.
We like Humble House. The food is consistently good. Pity about the service as it is consistently bad. But they make a mean daiquiri & you can BYO! Always busy, so I don't feel obvious dining with 2 children. Expensive for Chinese but worth it every once in a while.
Humble. Beautiful restaurant, with amazing food! Our family goes there for formal events such as birthdays because it is a tad pricey. I always get the shredded beef in mandarin sauce, and it is beautiful! Don't forget the banana fritters for desert!
Humble Find. Had a variety of dishes - some turned out well, some turned out a bit disastrous.
The noodles and san bao choi (which is a lettuce leaf filled with mince) were great. The wasabi prawns were a little too saucy but fresh and crunchy if you took off the sauce. It was interesting to have the wasabi flavour without the chilli taste.
The food was fresh, not too oily and tasty. They also have a great lunch special i will go back to try - with entree main and drinks for about $22 per person.
Excellent authentic Asian food. Thai green curry and shredded beef with mandarin sauce are brilliant. Let the waiters recommend the signature dishes, they know what they are talking about
Humble and Helpful. This restaurant serves beautiful Asian cuisine and offers many delicious dishes. The staff are wonderful and you can B.Y.O. This is my favorite place to eat, and, take it from me, once you eat here, you won't want to leave.
My perfect meal here would be
Wasabi prawns with
Beef Massaman and
Deep fried ice cream
Great but slow. This was a great, typical chinese night out. Lovely Chinese dishes, great friendly staff and family dining at the table next door. BYO to boot. Just a tad slow on getting the dishes out but I'd easily go again.
Great food and always welcoming staff. Plenty of food with each order and decent wine avaliable.
Despite the odd circumstances which brought us together, Humble House actually turned out to be quite a suitable venue. The service was attentive, accommodating and also very perceptive. The menu here features traditional dishes, and the tastes are familiar and comforting. We shared some light and crisp san choi bao’s, some fresh greens, a nourishing fillet of steamed fish and a large bowl of fluffy fried rice. Everything was nicely presented, although this was one of those rare instances where I didn't take any photos during the meal as it wouldn't have been appropriate to do so, given the occasion.
Great Chinese restaurant in Bayside.
I come here with colleagues, friends and family. The dishes are absolutely delicious and water is always topped up. Attentive staff and service. I am always greeted or spoken to by my name.
My family and I used to go to another Chinese restaurant for decades but now we much prefer going to Humble House
If Google allows to give 10 stars I will rate them all. They do really lovely food and wonderful service. Highly recommend the wasabi prawns. Can’t complain anything!!! Definitely come back more often
Really enjoyed finding this place! Good food, nice atmosphere, great service! Would definitely come again. It even impressed my Chinese dad, which says something. He also added that the banana fritter was the best he'd ever tasted!
I came to Humble House for my birthday as booked by my father. They get 5 stars not just for the delicious and fresh Chinese food (which we ate as takeaway when my father got sick) but for the caring and patient way they handled my father’s very sudden vertigo attack. They helped box up our food, provided sick bags and calmly let us stay at our table as long as we needed before we could move Dad. It’s really rare in a busy restaurant, especially Bayside. We will gladly come again for the banquet.
Brilliant food and Brilliant service.
Excellent value for money.
Great entrees, and mains are just as good.
Probably my 4th visit and I haven't found a bad meal.
A must dine-in if in the area.
Terrific local and authentic Chinese restaurant. Warm and attentive service, the food is fresh, beautifully cooked and delicious. Can’t go wrong here ! Recommended
Service and food are impeccable. Edmond is a wizard with a cocktail shaker. Jackie is a fantastic host. Must try dishes are trumpet mushrooms with pork and the Champagne honey chicken is the best I've had.
Terrific service in what is a wonderfully suburban Chinese restaurant. Food is reminiscent of Chinese from the 1980s and tasty and delicious. Service really is the standout. Quick and nothing is too much trouble. Very inexpensive wine by the glass is a bonus. Definitely worth a stop every now and then.
