A beautiful restaurant in Crown Casino overlooking the Yarra river, Silks is a must try if you are a fan of Chinese cuisine. The food is delicious and very authentic, further accentuated by fresh ingredients. It’s always a pleasure dining here, despite the price (trust me, it’s worth it!).
Quality Chinese cuisine with a view!
The high ceilings and windows provided a wonderful open atmosphere with a spectacular view of the Yarra river.
Enjoyed great dining experience thanks to lovely and attentive staff.
The cocktail menu is rather impressive with so many I wanted to try. The highlight would definitely be the trio dumplings, in particular the scallop dumpling. The sautéed lobster with egg was definitely unique and tasteful, and of course my favourite also was the Peking duck which was very tender.
Thank you for a great experience.
If you’re wanting to eat Cantonese in Melbourne, go here. Vastly superior to Flower Drum, with a nice view overlooking the water and a relaxed unhurried atmosphere. The crab meat and egg drop corn soup was flavoursome, served at the right temperature and a very good commencement. The lobster spring rolls were fantastic, serving as a very good accompaniment. Moving on, the honey mustard crispy pork and marinated bbq octopus were served and the taste was nice, be aware the octopus is served cold and the pork is served lukewarm. The highlights for me were both main courses, comprising the black Angus tenderloin with sautéed spinach in black bean and the scallops enrobed in prawn mince. The beef was cooked to perfection whilst the black bean wasn’t overpowering. The scallops were just fantastic and a must order. The meal was finished with a typical banana fritter which didn’t go astray, and the Piero SSB was a nice bottle to have along with the meal. Great way to spend an unhurried lunch or dinner overlooking the Yarra from Level 1.

Easy booking online and was fully booked. There was sessions about 6pm for 2 hours.
The serving was sensational and very professional.
The atmosphere is what you feel from the movie “crazy rich Asians”.
The barramundi was fresh. Peking Duck was a bit average. Over all a great experience . Meals were expensive cost about $300 for 4 dishes.
I loved eating at this place. Had 100% quality table service, along with great asian food for yum cha. Kudos to the waiter who kept refilling my water before I drunk it all. I highly recommend, my favourite dish was the chicken siu mai dumplings or the served vegetables.
The staff here are quite friendly and easygoing. The atmosphere here is really nice. it’s a beautiful restaurant and great for families, couples or even friends to feel comfortable in.
the food comes out quickly and it’s amazing. Worth the price. I love this place and I would love to go again and again.
Great place for business or meetings. It’s not very loud and the waiters/waitresses are very attentive.

Fantastic service from beginning to end. We decided to go with the $148 tasting menu.
The oysters were very fresh. I particularly enjoyed the dumplings - the skin was perfect and translucent. The sauce of the king prawn noodles was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and very tender.
Overall, a fantastic experience with beautiful views of the riverbank.
I and families came for lunch at Silk yesterday to celebrate my husband’s cousin’s engagement. First of all, thumbs up for the waitresses for being professional, polite and warm. They had such light hands in helping us to arrange the Chinese traditional engagement trays full of goods and offered us to take our photos. We had a private dining room with a breathtaking view of Yarra river with the autumn leaves. We have 12 course meals which I attached here along with my review. Majority of us agreed the stars of the day were the stir fried Japanese scallops and scallop with minced prawn, followed by the pecking duck whose portions were generous. We also love the fried bean curd with mushroom. Overall, it was a pleasant family dining experience and I would like to recommend this restaurant for families who have special occasions to celebrate, or may simply want to have a catch-up over a good food and ambience. Well done, Silk team.
High end Chinese restaurant. It has got the best decor, wonderful view and attentive friendly service. It may not suit for everyday lunch or dinner 😜 as price is matching the high end too . Definitely worth a try .
Silks at Crown. One of the best Chinese restaurants in Melbourne. Highly recommended for business dinner. It is a bit pricey for casual dining. Food is good and good service with great ambience.
Amazing food with authentic Chinese flavors. Staffs are very nice and offered me a birthday cake. The deco is very grand, a different vibe from most fancy restaurants in Melbourne, but in a good way. Will come back again.
It’s expensive but it’s worth every penny of it. The menu is not a big menu and when you look at it, it really doesn’t show anything too special BUT what I really like is that every dish that was presented on our table was cooked so deliciously. Service of course was great, I means it’s Silks, you’d expect it and they delivered it so no surprise there. Give it a try 😊
We had lunch today with my family in the private dining room and we are very pleased with the excellent service and superb food today. As expected of fine dining places, portions may not necessarily be big but the food is fresh, and the views from the private dining room is fantastic overlooking the yarra river. We are also very pleased with William's service today who has helped us top up our water, tea, wine continuously. Thank you to the team and will be back again!
Had the set menu & everything was delicious! Staff was accommodating and food was great. Our favourites were the baked crab, char siu black cod and wagyu truffle.
Silks is a beautiful Chinese restaurant. Very premium and spacious restaurant with private dining rooms and a large dining area which is well themed. Service is top notch as you'd expect and prompt. Menu is well thought out and the food is just Devine. Probably some of the best dumplings I'm Melbourne and the meats just melt in your mouth. Definitely a place to experience at least once if you can
Pretty good, we had the lobster set menu for lunch $199 per head with a glass of champagne. 9 courses all up. Courses were of good size you won’t leave hungry. All plated up beautifully, the black ink pasta stunning. Lobster a tad overcooked however still delicious.
Sublime meal, excellent service, and breathtaking views. Definitely one of the most expensive meal we've had in a while, but that's where all that entertainment money saved during the last two years was put to good use
My first time dinning at silks and I was blown away with the food and service The layout of the restaurant was beautiful and well thought out.. it’s a great restaurant for a date or that someone special I couldn’t fault the food and service it was perfect
