I really love to come here for yum cha. The food is cheap and delicious. Their eggs tofu is my favourite and I love the beautiful setting of the restaurant with the water feature in the centre. The staff here are kind and it's always a great experience. Plus their egg tarts are incredibly scrumptious.
An old but new favorite seeming as this is the new Kum Den. Food is still very delicious, adequately priced and servings generous. One thing that I used to love to order but wasn't on the menu was the crispy fish skin! So delicious! They don't serve it anymore, or at least as this new place so I may need to venture to the old Kum Den to have it.
Service is quick and the staff are attentive and helpful. Can't complain 😊
This restaurant was recommended by a friend as I continue on my quest to find the best roast duck and rice in Melbourne. I wasn't disappointed.
The duck's skin was crispy, the meat was succulent with the perfect fat-meat ratio, and the duck sauce was very tasty. Add some piping hot rice, a side of bok choy, and a dash of chilli oil, and I now have my favourite restaurant in Melbourne for roast duck and rice.

I've really enjoyed the food every time I've come here! I think it's been 3 times now.
Last week we had a banquet for around 12 people and they managed to feed us just enough food. Yummy (thick) spring rolls. But the best is the Shanghai dumplings!! They hot soup inside is so tasty. I'd definitely recommend them!!
I also tried the yummy honey chicken another night... But it wasn't what I'd expect. The honey actually tasted like honey (and not just the sweet sticky stuff you may expect). It made it so much better.
It's a bit more expensive than some places in China Town, but I like the tasty food. You could definitely find something nicer, but probably more expensive near by.
The service is pretty good... We had a very charismatic waiter who was happy to take a photo of us all for my friends bday. Beware though, they told my friend we would all be seated on one table (she originally booked for 18ppl) but when she arrived they had us on 2 separate tables. Luckily (or unluckily) people cancelled.
Being a BYO wine place is handy. I'll be back for sure!
Popular and good value Chinese restaurant in one of the Chinatown laneways. Worth checking out their lunch specials which are under 10 bucks a dish. Pretty good deal. Also good for catch ups with large groups and the staff speak English and are accomodating. Recommended. . Salt and Pepper Soft Shell Crab $6.80
This place has two venues and I'm rating their bbq version next door. It's quite new and it has one of the best deals in town (if not the best). 6.80 for Chinese bbq on rice or noodles. The meats are great. Give it a try.
Great early dinner experience with 3 young kids who lived the bbq, fried rice and King Po chicken. Will be back. Friendly staff. Will have mud crab for the adults next time.
This place is heaven! The salt and pepper squid is exceptional and the duck wraps make me moist. BYO beer & wine, and outstanding service make this place a winner is my book. Keep up the good work team!

This place has recently relocated to Waratah lane opposite Mid City Arcade in Chinatown, right next to the "old" Kum Den. I highly recommend coming here for lunch as they have amazingly cheap lunch specials - $6.80 for any roast item (eg duck, chicken, bbq pork or crispy pork) on rice or noodles and only $1 extra if you want a combination of two. It was delicious - the skin of the roast duck was very crispy and juicy, the flavour was on spot, in fact I think this will be my new favourite place to get roast duck in Chinatown. They also have $18.80 two-person lunch set menus which include three courses! How can you resist that. Even without these special prices their dishes are all very reasonably priced anyway. The newly renovated restaurant is spacious and bright inside, service is friendly and efficient and you get free Chinese tea. Table cloths are the white glossy paper ones and the overall look of the place is very clean. Do yourselves a favour and try this one out! P.S. Just remembered that the lunch special $6.80 price only lasts until 26th November, so go there asap!
Went there for yum cha on Saturday at 11am. We arrived before they open even it said open from 11am. Realised staff were having their lunch, front door was open due to delivery man left it open.
We stepped back out, decided to go somewhere, manager came out told us we could wait inside but food not ready for another 15 mins.
Lucky it was a worthy wait. We had the great tasty Yum Cha I ever had in my life, here and oversea. I don't know was it because of everything freshly cook to our order. It the best taste ever.
One thing a bit let down is they don't have "cheung fun" (steam rice flour roll- plain/ with prawn/ beef mince/ BBQ pork).
100% sure will be back and recommend to others.
Amazing Chinese food!!! I usually don't eat a lot of Chinese food because I got sick of it since I grew up with it but I am more than happy to dine at New Kum Den because they do such goooood Chinese food. Especially their hot pots!! I've tried their coconut chicken, drunken chicken and pepper hotpots and they're ALL amazing. I highly recommend this place for some amazing Chinese food and amazing hot pot!
Authentic and legit dishes!!! The peppercorn pig stomach hotpot and coconut chicken hotpot are one of the best I’ve had. Also the stir fried dishes are full of “wok-hey” (breath of the wok which is essential in legit and good stir fried dishes). Highly recommended!
Authentic Hotpot experience! You know the food is going to be AMAZING when in-house dipping sauce is delicious.They have extremely friendly customer service and focus on what they do best! Well priced for the food that you get. Will definitely come back for this specific flavour hotpot again!!
Been here twice and loved it both times! Vegetarian options are amazing - Mapo tofu, mushroom dish, truffle fried rice, dumplings, salt/pepper tofu.
Also do try walnut soup and coconut jelly
Premium quality of soup base, and ingredients. Perfect environment, good services. Best for family dinner, birthday dinner, or business meals. Worth to try!!!
This is a authentic Chinese restaurant which has a great hot pot. We have been many times and love it. The staff are really friendly and make us feel welcome. The food is so tasty and we only have good things to say about this place.
Pork Stomach and Chicken Hotpot is addictive! Booking is recommended as they are very busy during dinner time.
Been here a few times and really loved it! Even vegetarian options are amazing !! Great environment, awesome food, good services and resonable price! Best for family dinner, birthday dinner, or business meals. Will keep coming back !
