Great Chinese restaurant in the area. Fantastic duck on rice for a reasonable price. Has the best hits of Asian on one menu. Been with the family, close friends and for causal take away almost every week. Cannot recommend highly enough for the quality and price. I believe there is a Malaysian and Hong Kong duck chef �. Give it a try.
Chinese BBQ is wonderful! Authentic Hong Kong taste and style.
Stuff were very attentive and friendly.
Had 3 different Cantonese roast and they're all great.
Also had the Flounder, water spinach, and 2 different fried rice, and they were all wonderful.
Especially the Flounder, crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked and juicy on the inside.
Honestly one of the best Chilli and salt Flounder I've ever had.
Food was too good we forgot to take pictures.
Highly recommended, and would definitely be back!
This is our new fave spot! The food is delicious, the servings are generous, and the prices are cheap especially for the area! No matter what your request, this place can accommodate, because everything is fresh and all the sauces are made in-house. Plus the decor is awesome.
The best soft shell crab with 5 spices.....n the xo sauce pipi n the fried barramundi with Chinese pickle....yum yum yum....��
Best take away tonight. We’ve eaten in also and food is fantastic.

Our host was warm and friendly and with the chilled and relaxed vibe, just makes you want to eat more and more. So many delicious options on the menu I'll be back to try, LOVE LOVE LOVED IT ❤️❤️❤️
Best Chinese I've had in some time!! It is was all cooked beautifully. My new local Chinese hangout ��
This place is incredible! The best Chinese food in Melbourne! The owners Becky and Chris are so friendly and lovely to chat too we have got to know them quite well. INCREDIBLE home made dumplings and I love the curry paste they make for the Singapore noodles. We have been going for over 2 years and absolutely love it every time we go in. They also do a killer mango pudding with green tea or black sesame ice cream. Good choice of wine and lovely Asian drinks. Can’t get enough of it just awesome. Do yourself a favour though make sure you book a table to avoid missing out!
New family fave! Our weekly fix for Chinese from a family run modern Chinese restaurant! Popular dishes are the BBQ pork and Peking duck = delicious! So glad we found you! Service is friendly! Grab a table upstairs if your want something more intimate!
We ate here on Friday night for a birthday dinner. There was 8 adults. The food was so delicious I can’t wait to go back. Roast duck was tender and yum. Pork spare ribs, flavoursome. Crackling Pork was good but more fat than meat and pieces were cut a little small but the crackling was crispy. Fried rice was super yummy and the prawns were large tender king prawns cooked to perfection. The starters of Peking duck pancakes & pork & prawn springs rolls were a perfect start to the meal. Sides of roti with peanut sauce and mixed greens were a great addition. We shared all these meals between 8 including chicken which I can’t comment on as I unfortunately didn’t get any.
This Chinese/Malaysian place is always full so my dinner date decided that we just had to try it. Our table was a little awkwardly placed with a cool Winters breeze coming through the door when opened, but for a quick Sunday night dinner, we weren’t bothered. We had the pan fried dumplings to start and then devoured a huge bowl of fish laksa each- generous portions of fish fillet perfectly cooked, deliciously smokey eggplant and a combination of hokkien noodles and vermicelli, all swimming in a rich, creamy Malaysian curry broth. I was greedy and went the roti on the side too which wasn’t as flakey as I’d like but it did the soaking job it was ordered for. And at $17 for a huge bowl of tasty laksa goodness, I’ll be back. Service and meals were quick and menu covers a lot of ground. All up, $73 for two including a glass of wine each.
A family favorite and not without reason!pretty much every thing was absolutely fabulous! Definitely need to go back to try more stuff from the menu!

The best place in Elsternwick for roasted duck and glazed chicken, along with other popular Chinese dishes.
Nice decor design and simple layout.
4 star might seem a little high for your local Chinese restaurant, however hear me out. This has the be the best western influenced Chinese food I have had in a long time. Produce was fresh, everything was delicious and service was friendly and very speedy. What really blew us away were the portion sizes. The sides are a main on their own. We loved the sizzling garlic prawns, vegetarian fried rice and Singapore noodles (which came with full sized prawns not little shrimp - mind blowing). Highly recommend and book in advance on a busy weekend night.

Food was too good we forgot to take pictures, so here's a photo of the yummy mango pudding with black sesame ice-cream.
Highly recommended, and would definitely be back!
We popped into this restaurant purely to try their selection of roast meats! Their roast duck and roast pork was very tender and succulent. Inside the restaurant was very clean and it would be a great spot to go with your family. We will be sure to try out their dumplings next time we visit.
I have eaten at Yuchi 3 or 4 times since it opened and I can tell you it is an absolute gem for a local eatery. Lunch time they are packed out because they offer quality food, in large portions for very little money. The Malaysian chicken curry with roti is stand out at $15.
Dinner you always have to book and while this is a little more expensive the produce is outstanding particular the prawns.
But what I love most is that it’s a quality restaurant that allow you to bring your own wine! Why oh why don’t more restaurants offer BYO?
We went to dinner on Sunday the service was great very attentive the food was great do recommend to go best Asian food I have had for a long time can't wait to go back again.
Finally tried this restaurant after hearing mum constantly rave about it. Ordered 8 dishes to take away and could not fault one. The special fried rice, crispy combination fried noodles and horfun had a charred wok flavour, the roasts succulent and delicious and salt pepper tofu delightful. You must must must try Yuchu. You will be back. I promise. Keep up the great work Becky and mum, til next time!
This is Mom's favourite restaurant where she came almost 10 times in two weeks. So I had to try it when buying food for my birthday lunch.
We had the special fried rice, salt and pepper tofu, noodles and the roast. Ordered a lot and we almost finished everything as everyone enjoyed their meal. Special mention to the salt and pepper tofu and also the roasts (tender and crispy roast pork and juicy BBQ pork)
We went to Yuchu on Sunday night as we thought we’d try this new restaurant in Elsternwick. The food we ordered exceeded our expectations. To start with we shared chicken satay sticks and the soft shell crab. Both were delicious and ample for starters for the three of us. We then had the crispy pork, the Peking duck and some fried rice. All were generous serves as well as being the best we’d eaten in a long time. The Peking duck was outstanding with a hint of anise. Service was great and drinks were reasonably priced. The only negative was the noise in the restaurant but it was busy. Overall, we had a fabulous meal. Thank you Yuchu!
Popped in for a quick lunch, was served quickly with a delicious piping hot food. Lovely ambience, cosy yet bustling with activity. Great place to catch up.
What a feast we had: Soft shell crabs in chilli salt, roast duck noodles, curry chicken noodles, roast pork rice, egg & gravy hor fun, soy milk & fried ice cream! Everything tasted great but warning to those with low MSG tolerance.
Yuchu opened recently in Elsternwick and no matter the day they always have a full house. The restaurant seats about 50 people. The staff are very friendly and personable.
The reason I keep going back is for the Roast Duck which is cooked with Traditional Hong Kong methods. The skin is crispy the meat flavoursome and juicy it is absolute perfection. I can't bring myself to order anything else it is just too good! Best Roast Duck I have found in Melbourne 🙌🏽
The current review of 2.8 does not do this place justice.
As someone who eats cantonese roast meat growing up, I can confirm this place makes one of the better roast/bbq meat. Had the roast duck tonight and its not your average greasy kind of duck. U can see the duck had been handled with care just by looking at the colour of the meat and skin. Tasted authenic.
The presentation of the dish was also above average, not the usual slab on meat on a bed of half cooked rice. Atmosphere is great too. So if u are bringing friends or a special someone this place is certainly a good option that also wont break the wallet.
Could be the best chinese restaurant on glen huntly no joke, highly recommend you try them out~
Get the smoked duck, and the soy chicken with the green dipping sauce. Ultra traditional. High quality. A good wine list as well! Best value for dinner in the area.
I give Yuchu five stars because I am a repeat customer and I also recommend this place to others. I grew up in Singapore so am very familiar with Malaysian Chinese food, and the food here is legit. For lunch I tend to gravitate towards the roast duck (and order wontons) with dry egg noodles or the seafood noodles with gravy. I've had several different whole fish dishes there for dinner and they were all great. Service is good too and you can tell that they have a lot of regulars.
Food is all ways very good and fresh friendly stuff and great service chicken and corn soup it is the go and stir fryed chicken and cashus al so the steamed Baramandi will not dissapont you great flavour ginger and sharlots
Went with 4 friends. Tried just about everything on the menu. Servings not large, but top quality. Will definitely be back
Consistently great food, warm friendly service. The barbecue pork buns are some of the best I have had

Great value for money! The portions were large and the chicken exceptionally tender. The mixed veggies are a great side dish too. Large parking area nearby. Recommended.
There are very few good Chinese restaurants around the area. This place is new and food is of fantastic quality. Very busy place but service is quick. Happy to come back here again anytime.
The food was very good although the service was a little bit slow and Confused we had the dumplings which were just as good as panda mumma if not a little bit better the calamari with excellent
the servings are large considering how small the price is
easy to walk in and have a good meal well worth the visit
