Just Another Melbournian

O.M.G. I think I just found the best Chinese takeaway in Melbourne. A small and clean shop on quiet Rathdowne Street. Wonderful, warm, polite, friendly service as soon as we walked in....and the food says it all. The best special fried rice for only $8.80 (large). When I think special fried rice I imagine beanshoots, egg, ham, shrimp, spring onion....and this had all the ingredients plus the flavour to match. You’d be surprised at how many places sell “special” fried rice which is in no way “special” at all. But this was perfect.
Plus their crunchy squid with vegetables = fantastic. Will definitely recommend to others and will be coming back for more!!

A great old style Chinese restaurant that combines good quality food at good value price. One of the few places with self made spring rolls- excellent. Best value Chinese (Hong Kong Cantonese cooks) in the area by far.

My casual little chinese eatery in Carlton. Little family run business. Simple cheap good Asian food. Favourite by far would be Fu Lu special fried rice & the beef and black bean stir fry. ( also can't go past the big spring roll for entree)

Good old Fu Lu, the friendly old favourite! Been coming here for years, especially for the Crunchy Pepper Squid, which is always a mighty tasty treat.

Unpretentious Comfort Food. Fu Lu has been my fallback for decades at any time that I don't feel like cooking or friends have dropped in and we just feel like dining in. My favourites are Fu Lu Special Fried rice and Beef with Tomato and Bean Curd. Used to also alternate with Rathdowne Noodle Shop but sadly that is no longer an option. Very glad that Fu Lu is still going, if it was not it would be greatly missed.

Don't come here for gourmet fare: this is very much quick, Westernised Chinese comfort food. I like the fried noodles and the house special fried rice, and the stir-fries. Basically I go here when I can't be bothered making this kind of food at home myself. Service is quick and friendly and it's open late, which I love as I can pick up some takeaway if I've been working late. There's not much of an eat-in atmosphere.

Classic old school Chinese. Been there for decades. As everyone says, the fu Lu fried rice is the best in Melbourne. I add chili and cashew nuts. The sweet and sour pork also good. Sometimes the dishes get a bit samey, but that’s kinda the case with 70s style westernised Chinese food. Very fast service and friendly. Place seats about 8 people, so mainly takeaway. This place is worth traveling for! Very cheap Chinese food!

I count myself very fortunate that Fu Lu Chinese Cafe is my local Chinese. The Fu Lu Special Fried Rice is delicious and packed with a mixture of meats. Probably the best I've every had!! Their Mongolian Beef and Crispy Skin Chicken were also fabulous. I highly recommend stopping in for a takeaway or for a meal. The staff were friendly, my meal was ready surprisingly quickly and the prices were good.

This place has good takeaway Chinese food. The dishes are healthy because they come with plenty of vegetables and you can ask for reduced salt. I recommend the beef black bean or the stir fried rice with prawns, egg and ham. Not badly priced but they only accept cash.
