Only tried this place a few months back and so glad we did. Great range of food - always great serve and flavour - hubby has been looking for crispy noodles for so long and he loves the ones here - I love the black bean spare rib noodle soup great punchy flavour. Prawn spring rolls are awesome (thin and with actual prawn and not filled out with random stuff like a lot of rolls are) - veggie and normal fried rice is great too. Def a great staple to put on rotation for family take away.
Owners very friendly too they deserve the support especially now during COVID-19
Classic Malay Chinese owner run restaurant. Used to work around here a decade ago and things haven't changed a bit (thankfully) and still visit here when I'm in the area. Huge menu with all the goodies you would expect from good Malay Chinese. Fish curry, lamb stew, crab stir fry all killer dishes but I love their fish fillet vermicilli. Soup is brilliant, perfect pickled vegetables balance with shredded ginger and tomato. This place is old school... From service, table settings, atmosphere and amazing food. This place won't win any hipster awards but it's gained a huge family cult following... Highly recommended
Good casual Chinese restaurant. Went there and tried their Chinese New Year menu. They serve a great yee sang (traditional new year dish).
Also on their new year menu is whole barramundi, pork shank, prawns with noodles, stuffed chicken roll and assorted mushrooms. Mud crab is also on the menu however on this evening it was unavailable.
Staff were efficient and friendly.
A South Yarra icon. Been coming here for years. From grabbing some comfort food to take away after a tough day to a big feast to celebrate something. Quality never drops along the way. Tofu is still the best in Melbourne
Impeccable meal, honestly perfect service and such friendly staff. Such a pleasant dinner experience and was packed for a Thursday night. Nothing that I can fault. Loved the yummy food and will definitely be coming back.
Very authentic Malaysian Food. Service is good and prompt. Ordered Salt and pepper chicken spare rib and curry veggie for lunch. Both dishes are very tasty. Will visit again
The best Chinese-Malaysian in this area for sure! The food comes out quick, and the quality is always amazing. I always go here with my family, and the large menu never disappoints. Would certianly recommend. (Book on a busy night)
What a feast we had at Red Hot Wok! The venue is clean and tidy, and of moderate size with quite a few large tables for big groups. We had a big table of about 8 people and ordered the large bak kut teh, XO pippies, sambal kang kung and ladyfingers, apple chicken, Red Hot Wok special tofu, and of course... the Singapore Chilli Crab with noodles.
Amazingly, all the food came out within about 10 minutes! And we devoured it all in about half an hour... every single dish was flavourful, authentic (they got the tick from all Malaysian friends), fresh and absolutely delicious. Not a scrap of food could be seen on a dish after we had been done with out meal.
The best part? The meal was SO easy on the wallet!
Tidy venue, great service, amazing food... what more do you need from a restaurant? If you are after an authentic Malaysian meal I highly recommend you check them out!
Wandered past this place and was excited to see a Malaysian restaurant in South Yarra. Was excited to see they sold Singaporean Chilli Crab, and seriously this did not disappoint. I booked a table for 7, the food arrived promptly and was super delicious!!
A place for local people, recommend visiting with great service and excellent food.
I recommend bat kuh teh, singaporean chilli crab with noodles and the sambal veges. I’ll be back to try more on the menu.
Great Malaysian restaurant - attentive without being over the top. A couple dollars more for dishes on average but definitely made up by delicious well-cooked food and location in South Yarra. Had the cha kew teo and need rendang (Malaysian musts) as well as salted egg chicken. All very well cooked. Event the roti. My new asian gem in this area (also they deliver for free within 3 km).
Wow - A really huge surprise. What looks like a seemingly innocent standard Chinese affair from the outside, turns out to be one of the best tasting Chinese Malay places in Melbourne.
The chilli crab is very very solid and very authentic. Big juicy mud crab with a flavourful sauce. The mantou is of course recommended. Honey pepper beef and the salted egg prawns were also great but the absolute stand out is the crispy silken tofu in soy.
Staff are friendly and place is nice although the chilli crab is definitely on the expensive side (around $111 for the dish for us).
Came to have some food before my flight back to Sydney. Didn’t have any expectations but this tiny restaurant surprised me with delicious food and great service. Flavour was quite good with the price tag, and the staff was very welcoming. I will definitely go back if I live around there
A family friendly palatable Chinese Malaysian cuisine restaurant in town. With a good location this place considered to be relativefly pocket friendly and has a good service. Parking area are available along the street, which could be difficult on the weekend. However, they serves online order now, which is so much easier.
Great service and friendly staff. Quiet Wednesday night but they are known to be really busy on weekends. The crab noodles were amazing, succulent crab meat (effing huge crab!) with great noodle texture, would have been great if they had a little more noodle in it. The tofu was super yum, cleaned out really quickly. Kum beng soup (mutton) is saltish but goes really well with plain rice. Servings were all really generous. Curry fish head was also another stunner, tender fish with a wide variety of vegs in it, easily one of the best dish.
Parking is 2 hours or you could park at the supermarket nearby.
Great Chinese Malaysian food. Beef hor fun (fried beef rice noodles with gravy) reminds me of the ones I have back home in HK. The sizzling tofu is a MUST TRY! The silkiest tofu I have ever had! Great portion size, friendly owner! Recommend and definitely return for more! Support local!
Service was great and has good surrounding atmosphere. The food was delicious = we ordered prawn with noodles, beef package, okra, and yusheng.
Very good Malaysian food here. Absolutely loved the Assam prawns and the salted egg fried chicken (omg!!).
