Right next to Homesglen station is this gem of a place! Inside is nothing special and service is subpar but if you are looking for some good old fashion hongkong food this is the place to go. I love the fried rice rolls here as well as the wonton noodle soup. The claypots are also delicious
We have their Lamb steamboat with vegetables.. Good for 2 adults and 1 kid.. Just ask for 2 bowls of rice.. So good. Their tomato rice and crispy vermicilli are very good too. The crispy vermicilli may be a bit oilly but the wok hei is good. I will definately be back.
nice porridge and good singapore fried noodles. It’s very good place for eating Cantonese food here,price is cheap and food is alright. Will go there next time
Really authentic cantonese food. Service is quick and priced right. Like their milk tea and porridge during winter. A lot of options to choose from that you’ll keep coming back.
One of the better Hongky style “tea” “restaurants” I’ve been to recently. Situated opposite holmesglen and it’s frequently a lot by students.. our favourite here is the deep fried soft shell crab and the congee. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu... flavours are quite authentic.. to add to that hongky authenticity... on the way out paying the bill by card we ask for a receipt. Only to be loudly yelled back at us “it’s in front of you” . We wanted the credit card receipt.. “I can’t give you that now, have to wait for the machine!” I just smiled and patiently waited... haha yep oh how I miss Hong Kong service sometimes :)
A surprise find near-ish to Chadstone shopping Centre, Niko niko serves Hong Kong style cuisine.
We ordered salty fish tofu pot which was super delicious. Their wonton noodles are pretty good, obviously can’t compare to wontons in Hong Kong.
The garlic gai lan is tender and super garlicky and their Chinese style beef steak was delicious. Their sweet and sour pork spare rib has good flavours, but not as crispy as I would expect it to be.
The steamed egg tofu 海棠豆腐 was a bit disappointing. The ones I had before had egg and tofu all blended in together, but this one they had chunks of tofu in the steamed egg, which just stuff up the texture.
All in all, it was a very satisfying feed.
Nice little restaurant in our area. Been here twice and been really impressed with the dishes we've had. I'd classify this as comfort food. They have a steamed rice dish with chicken, mushroom and chinese sausage as well as one with mince pork and salted fish which is excellent comfort food. The wontons were also really tasty as well as the sauteed rice cake appetiser. Congee was also nice in flavour and nice chinese doughnuts. One of our neighbourhood favourites! Service also prompt.
This place has been around for ages and if it was closer to where I live or have more convenient parking, I'd probably visit weekly. Most of their dishes are of good standard for the price you pay. They are not stingy with ingredients or quantity. I love their congee, the texture is just right, not too thick and not too watery. It's also just right in terms of taste; not too bland and not too salty. It is also served in a small clay pot to keep it warm for a while. My favourite congee in Melbourne.
I always come to this place, good food , reasonable price, good service,
Very authentic Hong Kong style food, for me the best item is Baked pork chop with tomato sauce on spaghetti!! Must tried!! Just like I had tried in Hong Kong!!
Come here with the right expectations and you won't be disappointed. This place is not fancy and you may question the cleanliness inside but the food is consistently good and the service is courteous and prompt.
When you're seated you're promptly served with a cup full of tea and provided with menus. The service is pretty good for a place like this, they come around and refill your tea and usually not a long wait for your meal once you've ordered.
This place has been here for years and I've been here a lot for lunch and dinner. My go to lunch is usually the 'meat dumplings' with dry noodles or when the weather's cooler the beef brisket with meat dumplings and noodles in soup (the beef brisket broth nice and tasty full of beefy flavour), both dishes served with some vegies. The meat dumplings are actually the Hong Kong style dumplings which are my favourite (besides for yum cha, this is the only place in Melbourne that I've found serves these), I think they're nicer than won tons and they're bigger. The filling includes prawn, pork and fungus.
The congee is also good always served bubbling hot, I order with a side of the Chinese donuts (they are long and crunchy and perfect for dipping or soaking in your congee). Don't order the congee take away as the portion size is considerably smaller.
They do lots of take away and good trade with the local Tafe students.
Stop by for a quick bite on your way to Chaddy instead of eating at the food court, better than the Chinese food offered there.
Accepts card without surcharge. Parking out front is only 30min so park at the back or around the corner.
P.S Don't be scared of the old lady behind the register she doesn't bite.
Quality execution of all dishes, had the wontons, curry & rice, soft shell crab, and a couple of dishes in clay pots. Very authentic flavours and quality ingredients. Rate. Slightly understaffed but waiters are trying their best so can’t fault. The wontons are a must try.
AUTHENTIC HONG KONG FOOD! From their lunch menu which is basically cha chaarn teng food that is identical to HK to their dinners which has a huge variety! I can't fault anything. Other than their service, it can get VERY busy and it may take awhile to get someone's attention to order.
This is the same shop as Tung Wo 同和. They just changed the name. Porridge was good. Portion was OK. Reasonable pricing. Staff was polite too. The Lamb soup was good and thick soup base. Was afraid of the strong Lamb smell but the herbal seem stronger and covered the Lamb smell.
One the best Hongkong style Cafe in Melbourne. Highly recommended to all people, enjoying HK style Cafe dishes and of course the milk tea.
This is definitely one of the best and authentic Hong Kong food cafe in Melbourne. Prawn wonton have 2 big prawns inside, super authentic baked Pork chop on fried rice, super authentic fish boat congee and also steam chicken feet and pork rib rice, just like in yum cha. They also have other menu, such as ma po tofo, creamy egg and onion on rice, sichuan beef. They recently renovated and many pretty wallpaper featuring Hong Kong streets and attraction. This gave their diner a feel of Hong Kong. Restaurant is huge, but due to COVID, they cannot serve too many dine in customers. Even takeaway also worth the trip. This restaurant located next to train station. Very convenient. Booking is recommended during COVID normal. Waiter and waitress are very kind and friendly. Food price is average. Hong Kong car noodle will be try next time :)
I have been to this restaurant many times. They never disappoint. Most authentic Hong Kong wonton and dumpling in town. Must order prawn vemercill pot and fried golden chicken/softshell crab. Congee is also my favorite. It's our #1 goto homemade cooking restaurant.
SIMPLE HONG KONG CANTONESE STYLE RESTAURANT
Niko Niko is a plain and simple Cantonese restaurant that serves up decent and well portioned dishes in a no fuss setting.
Confusingly the restaurant signage is "Tung Wo" rather than Niko!
The kind of place you'd happily go for a casual dinner, catch up with friends when all you want is good food and quick service.
It is a bit noisy due to the lack of soft furnishings so if noise bothers you, maybe ask to be seated in the smaller section at the front which is quieter.
Hawker-style or shared dishes on the menu and you get a huge complimentary jug of chinese tea. Soft drinks available but no alcohol unless you bring your own. There is a Dan Murphy liquor store just across the road.
People with mobility issues will be fine as the restaurant is all on one even floor with no steps.
Very close to Holmesglen train station.
