Perfect for a quick snack. Enjoyed the Duck and rice with a Bao. Service is efficient. Place is clean Happy with the prices and would come again.
good customer service and it’s a good price for what you get. the noodles here never disappoint and neither does the meat here! great for a late night, semi-cheap eat!
Late night legend! Our go to for cheap quick and delicious Asian food! China bar caters for all your drunken munchies. Get the roasts, mee goreng, roti channai beef, satay chicken and omelette rice those are some of our favorites

Taste is pretty nice and fair with the price. For me, China bar is one of the cheapest place to have a food in Melbourne. I like to go here, even the staff is not that friendly. Maybe will be better if staff improve their service.
Still good like I remember it. Came here looking for comfort food, so ordered a 2 roast (BBQ Pork and Roast Pork) with rice combo. Quick and satisfying experience. Seating slightly cramped and can be noisy (but they were playing some classic TVB series tunes to my enjoyment).
This place is always open late and is a go to after a night out for drinks or dancing. Always packed after midnight. Can’t go past the roast duck on rice!
China bar offered a variety of Chinese food include entree, main and dessert.Most of their dishes is not friendly with gluten free. For vegetarian, they can order some menu, such as Fried rice with vegetables.
The price of the food is quite cheap. Ideal for one person would be around $20.
I ordered Hainanese Chicken rice. This dish come with side dish and soup. The rice is well cooked and very aromatic not too oily. The chicken serve with soy sauce so it is very juicy and also tender. The side sauce is good, I like the oil with garlic and the chili sauce. The sauce goes together with the chicken. It makes the chicken rice taste sharper. Overall, I love this dish and would recommend to others.
I was craving for an authentic Chinese fried rice so I walked in the China bar after seeing a roast pork deliciously hanging around the display window. I've stormed through the roast pork fly rice and it was so damn good. Fresh ingredients, cooked nice & quick in the old dented hot wok. Great flavours. I give just the fried rice 4.5 bears. Anything else could be risky.
Good customer service though the first impression was not as good as in the end. Great food with resonable price. Great roasted duck. Must try number 307b if this is your first time been here
Great after a night out. The congee is satisfying and the dumplings are good. Gets a bit crowded and noisy, the the service is fast. Nothing special, but not too bad.
Quick, cheap, oily, perfect after a big night out in town! Their crispy pork and BBQ were awesome. Rather than wait in line at those Ramen places, A quick bit here helped me sober up somewhat.
Awesome food. And great prices. The dumplings are very soft and the hot and sour soup with seafood is deeeeleeeecious. They have a fun assortment of drinks..non alcoholic though. Easy to read menus and order off them. Always crowded with young people trying to find a value for money place. Recommend
$12.90 for a tasty bowl of beef brisket and wonton soup was exactly what I needed after work at 11pm on a Thursday night! The brisket melted apart in my mouth and the broth had heaps of flavour to it. Very happy 😄
The restaurant was full of people but the service was quick and efficient. Looking around, everyone seemed to be enjoying their food & all the dishes looked good. It's a typical no frills kind of Asian place, but with its late opening hours is great for that quick feed at a very reasonable price.
We’ve been to China Bar many times. We typically order their special fried rice and combo roast meat with rice or noodle. These two meals usually have good flavour and are consistent.
This time the special fried rice was still pretty yummy with good flavour, and the combo roast meat (duck and roast pork) was good too, but I do not really understand why they gave us the burnt bits of the duck which was not very not nice. Also the serving sizes have become smaller but are still filling.
Over all we had pretty good meal again. Will be back again to grab a quick dinner when nearby.
Good place for a quick and affordable late night feed. Ordered the beef brisket and wonton noodle soup along with fried prawn beancurd and prawn dumplings. Food came out instantly and tasted average but was satisfying. Service isn't the best but efficient.
Came here for a really late supper, service wasn't exactly the best but they had a variety of options.
We came in a group so we ordered our own things. I got the siew yok & roasted duck combination with rice. The duck was good but the siew yok wasn't the best. They were generous with the portion but it should have been sliced more thinly.
I also ordered a prawn dumpling (har gao) which was quite dry but the prawns were succulent and it tasted alright.
China Bar has been able to tap into the late night eating in Melbourne very well. Its menu, service and food is for fast paced quick dish under a decent budget.
This location has expanded considerably since my days of eating here few years ago. The decor is much better. The menu has some what shrinked from the original one. I used to be able to order a plate of Chicken Salt and Pepper spare ribs and enjoy it, however thats no longer there.
Dishes are limited, however serves the purpose of late night dining!!
On a weekday and lunch, it might not be as hectic and the buffet is a little limited than dinner (but dinner has an added price). You will be able to sample your Asian favorites here-- dumplings, duck, chicken, fish etc. Come prepared to get filled up, save room for dessert because there is much to enjoy! Place is clean, service is okay.
LIT!: so quick and cheap! Great place for late night hang out with friends as well- almost my alternative food Maccas. I've tried most of their menu and most are pretty enjoyable.
NOT SO LIT: pretty average to well done Asian food but they are consistent which is great!
BBQ Pork Rice was absolutely delicious. A generous portion of meat. Sauce was a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness. Soft fluffy rice.
The best priced food in the CBD, the duck leg and soy chicken go together perfect, fast service unless its a Saturday night full house which is understandable. Very tasty and wide menu range, the best place for a casual night out.
This review is for the vegetable omelette on rice with their house chilli sauce. The rest of the menu is fairly bad. Don't bother. The omelette is incredible, though.
Used to go here for late night feeds and the noodles are very satisfying for that type of thing.
Wonton noodle soup was a favourite.
China Bar is a dependable place for supper and super late night eating. The hainanese chicken rice is my go to item here. Very fast, no fuss service. The place can be a bit grotty at times but to me that's normal cause they trade for so many hours a day and is constantly busy.
I quite enjoyed my late night dinner here last night. Meals came out quickly and they were delicious! We ordered the pork ribs on rice, fried squid tentacles and beef brisket and wontons. Portions were very generous, one of the better experiences from china bar! Far superior than its Fitzroy branch.
My parents adore China Bar, to the point where they visited three times over the course of a single week. My drunk friends also adore it, to the point where they visited three times over the course of a single night. This one’s open to wee hours on going out nights and consistently delivers quality, speedy meals across a familiar range of Asian profiles.
Yummmy Chinese Food at great prices in the main CBD of Melbourne.As you cross China Town inside Target Centre there are many small Cafes and Restaurants and this places serves great Chinese Food.We Tried the Tofu Vegetable Noodles.
The scene of many drunken nights, china bar is great after a big night of drinking if you want a cheap asian meal, although as of recent times they have jacked up the prices of all dishes, maybe to cover the cost of it burning down. All their dishes are ok but nothing to really write home about. Can also be a little hit and miss. I usually get the rice noodles with hainanese chicken, hainanese chicken rice, roasts with noodle soup. Service is ok.
Service was incredibly quick!! The food came out 5 minutes after ordering. Waiter was a bit pissed that we asked for napkins and extra bowls. The vegetarian mi goreng noodles were decent quality
We went there for a friend's farewell dinner buffet. Food was average but we had the voucher for buy two get one free hence a good deal for a group of 10.
This place is good fun, namely because it's open 24/7. After a night out clubbing/drinking, there's nothing better than cheap, rich, greasy, fatty, delicious Chinese food to cap the night off with.
Ordered the hor fun to share with a friend. The egg gravy was surprisingly "authentic". I liked their ice lemon tea too - not awfully sweet like some lemon tea could be. Hated the service though. Asked for two plates and the waiter, for some reason, preferred to use gestures instead of words to respond. His gestures include pointing to my seat and waving me off. Did not understand whether he was going to give me the plates or not. He did after we waited for 5 mins, but that was just so confusing. Would have to minus points for the rude service.
This place has never disappointed me. It is open 24X7!!!! I come here when I am looking for good value for money Chinese food, on a night near Swanston and not feeling adventurous enough to try a new place.
Their curry chicken with noodles is simply delicious. I have also tried the Hainanese chicken on a different night which again was pretty good. I can't advocate for other items from their menu but from the appearance and reactions of patrons eating them, I would like to find out someday. :)
After a late night out. We decided to grab some food. We came across China bar which is open 24/7.
Neat food and good value for money. Tried a few dishes. Amazing Shanghai dumplings and impressed with the food overall. Only thing negative was size of restaurant. Overly cramped with limited room to move.
Good Food ! Best place to dine when u r super hungry and don’t want to wait too long ! Food was served warm and Quick ! Must try : Ka pro Chicken and the Hinanese Steamed chicken rice
Excellent place, food delicious and quick service thanks guys!!

China bar offers an affordable Chinese feast at all hours, the service was super speedy, we only waited 10 minutes at most for 3 dishes, the food was hot, nourishing and the portions sizes are large for the cost conscious among us. Delivery is also available, for those not close to there many locations or looking for a delivered snack!
