We ate at EC tonight and it was fantastic. We had the Peking duck, duck noodles, San choi bau, pork spare ribs, pork mince with anchovies, rice, drinks and custard buns and all was delicious. Service was also quick and staff were very nice. Definitely will be back regularly.
Had our first taste tonight and very happy great food and delivery was quick and food was hot. We had sweet and sour pork, shredded pork on noodles, satay skewers and custard buns. 10/10 overall will be eating here again. :)

Honestly, i dont know why the rate is below 4.0 . We came here with Groupon, and they still serve us really well. The service is really warm and feel like in home. Whenever we ask for water or tea, they will happily serve us. For sure will come back next time, really happy with it.
Located just right in front of the station, this cafe have been around for ages.
They do have really good lunch and dinner meals which comes with options of sides and drinks. The place is nice and simple and it good for a quick meal. Popular amongst the Uni students.
Came here on a Groupon deal as we had a sudden Peking duck craving and EC Kitchen met it. For $40 for 2 people, this is a great deal and the portions are ample and the food nice. The staff are very friendly and pleasant and we’ll be back to try the other dishes.
Know this place since 2 years ago and went there for lunch few times a month. I ordered chicken rice as a lunch set, it comes with the drinks or soup, the paying price is just only $12.80. It’s very affordable and taste okay for people especially university students to having food here. The location is a best, just besides Caulfield station and opposite to the university. Will be back for next time.
Bought the Peking Duck Groupon and was very impressed.
- Chicken or pork San Choi Bow (you choose)
- 3 Peking Duck pancakes per person
- Duck fried rice or noodles (you choose; I recommend the rice. Noodles were instant Mie Goreng type)
- Banana fritter or custard bun (banana fritter recommended)
- Standard drink incl Coke, Ice lemon tea
Staff was flat out busy with all tables occupied. But they were efficient and friendly
Highly recommended!
Came here with the Groupon voucher. All of the dishes are really tasty (especially the duck noodle) and the staffs are friendly. Definitely recommend this place.
Miss this place. I eat here very ofteb during my uni years. My favorite is the potato n chinese sausage fried rice and chicken spare ribs. So good. Chilli oil is also good.
Where has this place been all my university life? On a late evening of University studies, Emily and I found ourselves coming to EC Kitchen where we immediately felt the strong aromas of Chinese cuisine as soon as we entered. Located conveniently next to Caulfield station, we opted for an ice chocolate, crispy fried spare ribs chicken and also a duck, both with rice.
Let me just say that you will not find a better value meal across University ever, especially located so convenient to your studies and transport alike. With that being said, you get free soup with your meal too! The ice chocolate was surprisingly big as we thought it was going to be your typical McDonalds looking plastic cup, hence we were so surprised when we saw a wonderful concoction arrive before us. Tasting very sweet and oozing with chocolate goodness, this was the perfect compliment to our meal.
The duck was tender and juicy, albeit the presence of too many bone pieces. The chicken was also quite good, tender and succulent, just overly battered- which is a good thing if you love that stuff like myself! Overall the quality of food here is well above average and definitely can taste authenticity and flavour with each mouthful. Highly recommend this restaurant to all value seeking University students and the general public too. Great value, great tasting Chinese food!

Had a Groupon voucher for their Peking duck, which overall was pretty good. It was good value for money with a drink, appetizer, Peking duck, fried noodles/rice and a dessert. The Peking duck was decent, can't be compared to Old Kingdom but well worth the money. The fried rice was fragrant with bits of duck in it and generous in the serving size. The banana fritters was a sweet end to the meal and had a crisp coating and soft banana inside. Service was surprisingly good for a cafe catering to students, with the waiters checking in regularly and promptly clearing plates and serving new plates for each course.
The 4 course group on deal is a solid steal. Entrees are san choi bao in a crisp lettuce leaf and soft tasty mince. The duck pancakes were well presented and very tasty with a strong sauce. Very crispy and moist meat. The next duck noodles were very average and the dessert (banana fritters) were excellent; super crisp batter and well cooked banana. Liked the accompanying honey with ice cream. Very nice staff that asked us how the meal was going. Came with a drink that was also very tasty and gone quickly. Definitely worth the value on a Groupon
Came here for a Groupon deal and the food did not disappoint! The service was really good too, it's just situated next to Caulfield station. Would recommend the peking duck also!
That was the nicest fried rice I have ever had. The banquet was amazing juicy duck and nice fresh vegetables.
The place is easily accessible off Caulfield Train Station and parking is easy with a nearby surface carpark as well as underground parking below the shopping centre (look out for Coles). Though it’s not a big place, it seems popular with the younger crowd perhaps university students. Food is tasty!
Really nice food. interesting location right on the train station opposite Caulfield Monash. Yummy peking duck too!
Got a voucher from Groupon and had the dinner last night. Though the place is not big, food is so yummy with enough portion for two. Super like the Peking duck. I could say it's better than some high class restaurants. And the deep fried banana is so tasty and crispy. Staff there are very friendly. What a little gem at train station.
The four course duck dinner was great from Groupon
Great lunch deal combos at $12.80 - a dish with a drink. I ordered the Spicy fish vermicelli and my friend ordered the Hainan Chicken. There's table service and the staff are generally quick with your orders. Food was reasonable, didn't taste too salty nor was it something to rave about. Given it's location and relatively quick service I'd recommend this for those who are time poor and want a decent meal.
