I recently ordered take away from here and was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing and the ladies there are just lovely. I will definitely be back again for more.
Was surprised to return after 20 years and yes no more Bear Steakhouse, No big pieces of Steak you can enjoy, was a big let down. They should really change the name to Bear Asian House, because that's basically it. Price was great and service was fine. I just wished it was real steak like before. Oh well its back to the pub steaks which are huge. Will go here again but not to enjoy any steak.

I really wasn't sure about what to expect when coming here, but on a Sunday night at 6.30pm the place was buzzing.
The structure of the restaurant is just gorgeous. The lighting and all the wooden beams. Very rustic
While the staff were clearly very busy, they couldn't have been nicer and the food was amazing. The Shredded Duck Fried Rice and Mongolian Beef a major highlight. Great prices and really fantastic value. I don't mind paying for quality and I honestly think the prices were insanely good. Thank you Bear House we will be back!
Didn’t know they did deliveries so when I saw they did we decided to give them a try and was very happy the food is a little over priced but you don’t mind paying a bit more for food that’s tasty. It was a great treat

The Bear House Restaurant is my husband and my go-to place for Chinese food. We discovered it when we first moved to the area and were looking for something to have for dinner one lazy Monday. We actually went there on the first Monday they opened - they had previously only been open Tuesdays to Sundays, and it was very quiet because no one knew they had started to open on Mondays!
It would surprise you, if you weren't aware, that this is an Asian cuisine restaurant. I believe it previously used to be a steak house (judging by the older reviews) and the decor certainly represents that, in fact, it shouts it! However, the atmosphere kind of works for an Asian restaurant. I don't know why, but it does. It was a very cold winter's night the first time we visited so we sat next to a crackling fireplace, which gave the restaurant a really nice, cosy ambience.
There's a lovely woman who works there, she is very friendly and provides great customer service - she is the embodiment of that slightly eccentric aunt with the jocularity of your favourite dad-joke comedian.
Now, the food here is pretty good. We've had a couple of dishes that missed the mark, but most of what we've tried were a delight on our tongues! Our particular favourites are the sesame prawn toast (it's packed with prawn meat!), garlic spare ribs, butter prawns, sweet and sour pork, and the shredded duck fried rice.
Another dish also worth noting is their laksa - I tried that for the first time recently and it was everything you'd want from a laksa and more! Usually, I find restaurants are quite scarce when it comes to the prawns in a laksa, but we shared this dish between 3 and it was plenty. The broth had the perfect amount of spiciness to it (if you are into mild-medium level of chilli) and the spice to coconut ratio was perfect. Great dish for a cold day!
The only (minor) issue that I have is with the pricing - some of the dishes, although scrumptious, have pricetags attached to them that are a little above their worth and quantity. It's not a real problem if you're only popping in for a sporadic treat, which is what we do! Other than that, I'd definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area.

The Bear House Restaurant is now under new management... No longer steak's its now Chinese. Great menu with heaps of variety to choose from. Instant sevice. Entree came out quickly but a little delay on the mains. Portion sizes were generous so we over ordered. Everything was so well cooked. The place itself is quite cosy so adds to the whole experience
Look it's not a bad place!
Only down fall was when we went we had looked at the menu online - which they had actually changed in house but not online yet.
So because of this we had to order things out of our comfort zone...food was okay bit expensive
Atmosphere is really good though! And service :)

We came to The bear house restaurant for dinner, ordered Fisherman's basket and chili prawn pasta that both are delicious and massive! The restaurant is nice and warm. All staffs are friendly I can't say anything wrong with this wonderful place!!!!Thanks, we had a great night!
No wonder I will come back again!
We pass by this area on our regular road trips. First time here. Very good start w lemon pepper calamari & potato wedges. Pork ribs was delicious - better than our last ribs at Crown no less! Chili linguine - fresh prawns w just enough heat. Finished off w trio of sorbet. Delish. Wasn't able to take photos as I left my phone charging in the car. *sigh* Will come back for sure.

Came here for dinner the other night and was very impressed.
Had been here before about a year ago and they had an acoustic band and the fire going which really set the scene.
On this visit on a Saturday night was fairly quiet with lovely acoustic music in the background from a CD and no fire. Still, the ambience was comfortable. This really does feel like a cabin house where you forget you're dining in Cranbourne and would feel almost perfect if it were raining outside, enjoying a hearty warm meal, indulging in nice wine, acoustic band and the fireplace!
Had the chicken and mushroom risotto (pictured) $23.50 and my friend had the pumpkin spinach fettuccini where they let her swap the Napoletana sauce for the carbonara sauce! Very accommodating.
The standout for me was our waitress (unfortunately did not catch her name) but she was friendly, personable and topped off our night. We even expressed to the manager how good the service was, as we were that impressed! Sometimes it's rare to find young waitresses/waiters that genuinely show an interest in making conversation (and not overdoing it).
Will be back again for sure!
Our first time to Bear House. Spoken to the Manager and got to know some history of this restaurant and the motel beside.
As they serve Malaysian food, we ordered the usual CKT (fried quay teow), curry noodle and nasi goreng (fried rice). Taste were good and portion is generous. The black bean sauce beef was good too.
The food is as normal as other restaurant but the restaurant itself is spacious and stylish. It looks like a resort hotel. I prefer to go there the second time!
Amazing customer service and generous portions sizes!
Great environment and the staff are amazing, had a very welcoming atmosphere!!
Will definitely be coming back for more dinners to come, the fried rice, salt and pepper calamari and prawn dumplings were mouth watering! And the espresso martini! Don’t get me started with how good that was.
5/5 Would definitely recommend to your friends and family.
Food and customer service was really good they even gave us a call before arrival to organize high chair for baby. Tasty food with good quantity. Wish there was some milkshake in the drink menu.
Absolutely beautiful food could not get enough service is excellent and comfortable atmosphere
Absolutely fantastic! The most polite and respectful staff. Food is amazing and served in very decent portions - to put it mildly.
Love going there and enjoy a calming atmosphere.
