As with most other reviews I cannot disagree with their general thoughts of food and service, however I will say that this is not unlike any Hong Kong / Canto bistro in my years abroad. Tasty, bold and plentiful dishes is what they unapologetically do here. No they won't win any hipster awards for Cheap eats or service nor do they clearly don't care for it, so if you are a 'foodie' don't come here, however If you like Hong Kong bistro style food and the inevitable service that generally comes with it then you'll be fine here. So we had the steam salted chicken, beef hor fun, hot and sour soup. All tasty and exactly what I expected, even the chicken was aged which was a nice surprised (most Aussies and second gen Aussies prefer them young)
Please don't change, these restaurants are a dying breed.
Big portion food at reasonable price. Used to come here a lot during college and order their duck fried rice. Ambience is nice and loud. Customer service can be improved.
Came here a few times before. Food is cheap here with ok sizes portions. Taste is ok too. Good for if you want something simple and casual. Because there are so many Chinese restaurant in the City for similar price, therefore there a lot places you can go to. Service is not too good. 😀
Came here today with my parents just to have a simple, quick lunch. I ordered number 78 on the lunch menu which was the steamed fillet fish with vegetables on rice. The food was not presented beautifully but it was expected because of the price, only $11.50 for this huge plate of rice! It filled me up to the brink I don't think I finished it all. But the fish was extremely fresh and surprisingly tender, vegetables had a nice crunch.
Service: the service here was very unexpected. They were very nice and friendly! Greeted us when we came in and took our orders very attentively.
Overall: definitely would visit this place again and again. Very cheap meal with large proportions it's my forte.
Used to come here and order either Chicken or Pork Chop on fried rice and Iced Milk Tea. The fried chicken ribs is crunchy and salty. Portion is quite big. Ambience is quiet and relaxed.
Cheap and tasty Chinese food. Portions are large and good for sharing. Staff are polite and friendly. Try the live seafood from the tanks at the front. Steamed fish is great.
This place can cater for large groups as there is plenty of seating and cheap drinks also.
This is my fifth time coming back to this restaurant. When ever I visit Victoria market with my family, I always tend to eat at this place. They serve very typical Chinese food, with large proportions and offer cheap prices (fantastic for students). Service was ordinary, nothing special waitresses were nice but didn't look too enthusiastic serving us. Overall they serve up good food, it is basically a "pay for what you get" type of restaurant.
I had the fish fillet with bean curd on rice. This restaurant is not the kind of restaurant which offers large plate but small food. This restaurant is very generous, large plate and also plenty of food. I tried very hard to finish my lunch, the whole dish is quite filling and tasty.
For a cheap eat = 4/5
If you are in town and looking for a decent place that is really cheap this is a place to try
Not many places where three people can eat for under $50 and all leave full (I am a big eater)
3.5/5 - Quality = It is not fine dining but it still tastes great
4/5 - Service = Friendly and welcoming, attentive to
3/5 - Atmosphere - Usually busy, never hard to find a seat, family friendly and suitable for groups
4/5 - Menu = Good selection of Chinese food and dumplings, You will definitely find something to eat and doesn't take long to come out.
Not hard to find , across the road Vic Market on Elisabeth St,
Thumbs Up - Recommended - Will be back
for sharing foods,this is the place that taste good and great value. We order 5 dishes for 4 people only cost 60$, Our fav dishes will be roasted plum duck sauce, and sweet and sour pork.The place not so pretty but still acceptable.Their steamed baramundi very good price too only 30$ for wholel fish.
What a great place this is. I love the glass frontage which feels like you are eating in a cosy glasshouse. The food is as delicious as the restaurant is comfortable. The ginger beef fried noodles is a regular dish which is always superb. The service is friendly and you can pay by card which is a relief as most Chinese restaurants are cash only.
I ordered their steam dim sims - really enjoyed the snack.
For the main dishes, I ordered special fried rice and chicken with steamed vegetables - these dishes are to my standard.
Although I haven't been here in a while, I always seem to come back when I feel like a nice cheap feed. The food here is typical asian cafe style food. I've tried the salt and pepper chicken and char kuai teow from here before. The presentation isn't amazing but the food is really good and cheap! Can't go wrong.

Our favourite little Chinese Restaurant. We have now been there twice and I can't help salivate at the memory of the food.
On the last visit we had Hot and Sour soup, Singapore Noodles, Sweet and Sour chicken, Szechuan beef and Puerh tea. The food arrived really fast and piping hot. The waiting staff were courteous and helpful and food was super delicious with generous portion sizes.
To start with the Hot and Sour soup had just the right blend of heat and sourness. The mushrooms were nice and crunchy and the meat is nicely soft. The last time we had such nice Hot and Sour soup was in a nice little restaurant in Canberra. Till now that was the benchmark.
The Singapore Noodles are full of flavor and nicely moist but not over cooked. The sesame seeds give it a nice nutty crunchy texture to balance the smoothness of the noodles.
The Sweet and Sour chicken was made with a great sauce and nice chunky and crisp vegetables. The battered chicken was cooked to perfection. The last time I had a Sweet and Sour chicken as nice as this was at a nice restaurant in Shanghai.
The Szechuan beef was also heavenly with just the right amount of chili.
Even when we had eaten our fill we still felt like eating more more; a sure sign of just how tasty the food was.
The interior decore was not super flash but it is nevertheless pleasant and clean with clean washrooms (a good sign). The patrons are a mix of Chinese and non Chinese which is another good sign.
The icing on the cake are the very reasonable prices. Three of us ate a great meal and filled ourselves and all for $65. Isnt that unreal.
To top it off they are open daily till 11pm.
Loved the spacing of the tables in this place. Most Chinese eateries in CBD are small, space invasive, dirty n gloomy. This eatery here reminds me of Chinese eateries in USA. I had eaten in this place 3 times tis week n they had not failed me. Loved the genuine staff, environment, portion size..will be bck again n again
Good food at reasonable prices. Thought we lost this place after an fire shut it down. Food is good and reasonable in price. Great HK food as usual!
Best Chinese food I have found in the CBD. Wonton soup is amazing and dumplings are great too, fried rice is best I've tasted. This is my regular take out restaurant!!!
Used to be Nam Loong in Chinatown. Good to see the old-school Cantonese fare back again. They used to be Nam Loong in Chinatown before the shop burnt down.
Simple, comforting Cantonese style food.

OK for a quick noodle meal. An Asian noodle dish makes a decent dinner at work. They’re filling, have lots of carbs to ward off hunger, and there’s usually enough meat and veg to allow me to convince myself that I’ve eaten something nutritious, instead of pizza or a burger. And noodle shops tend to dish stuff out quickly, which is crucial when one has to get back to a hospital ward within a limited time.
On those measures, I approve of the Hokkien noodles I had at Wing Loong. They had my takeaway tub ready within 5 minutes of when I walked in to order. The portion was slightly bigger than other takeaway noodle shops -- it was in a somewhat deeper plastic container instead of the 5 cm-high ones you generally get. The noodles stayed hot even after I caught a tram back to where I was working at the Royal Melbourne. Plus Wing Loong was open on Sunday at dinner time -- lots of places aren’t.
As for the flavour, it’s hard to differentiate between most versions of Hokkien noodles. The noodles themselves were cooked properly, with a bit of rubbery al dente tooth feel. The sauce was tasty, not too spicy, not so much of it that the dish came out wet. I’ve had better beef in Asian noodles -- the medal-sized pieces were on the tough side. Wing Loong has these tongue-shaped pieces of rubbery white fake-fish stuff as the seafood element, along with a few minuscule prawns. I could have done without the surimi stuff, because I don’t like eating something so unnatural, but overall it was your basic average noodle experience.
Such a convenient location not simply because tram stop is right in front, but also easy parking. Food there is absolutely delicious and cheap, not to mention free wifi and waiting time is short. Absolutely recommend the salt and pepper calamari, combination fried noodles, XO fried rice or any fried rice actually (all under 10!) . As for desserts, nothing beats the icecream and banana fritter, and friend icecream. Ice chocolate is to die for! Friendly service! Definitely coming here for my birthday next year :)
Amazing Xiao Long Bao and vegetarian dumplings! Good service, great value. Will be coming back!
Fast Service, Yummy Food at Cheap prices. It's strange to see how this restaurant isn't as packed as some other asian restaurants . As a chinese I have to say cantonese style cuisine is really good and much better than some of the restaurants in Chinatown. There's free WIFI, so I always come here to chill out and sometimes do work. Though decor isn't fancy and staff at least appear to be a bit more happier and less grumpy compared to the Malaysian restaurant just down the road. I highly recommend this place even as a Chinese.
Cheap yummy meals!. A huge fan of Wing Loong. Food tastes delicious here, especially the combination fried noodles. Not to mention it is relatively cheap and in a convenient location. It is very close to my uni and I pop in for lunch when I have a short break.
Would recommend this restaurant to people who love fast and cheap Chinese food. :D
Used to be Lok Lok...Much better as Wing Loong!. I think this place has new management & obviously a new trading name, great place for no fuss Chinese food with fast service. Really cheap and good value. The ciao long boa had a lot of soup, soon good! The owner/manager was very friendly & helpful
Wing Loong restaurant burnt down 7th December 2010. http://bit.ly/hd0uct Not sure if they will re-open.
Complimentary tea. Super fast service. Fluorescent specials and banquet menus. Add to that $4 wine and beer and tasty food. What more could you ask for. Aloe and lycee slushies? You got it. Been going to this place for years but only just got my iPhone to give it a review. I love the serving size of the fried rice and it only costs $6.50.
My favourite Hongkie style eatery. Cheap and quick but not for those expecting presentation and style! Been going since 2002! Always have Char Sieu w sieu yok chow faan dài.
Great, Cheap Meals!. Wing Loong is one of our favourites!
Enjoy great meals from only $7, and complimentary tea.
The meals are quick too, so you can get in and out fast, if you are in a hurry.
Complimentary tea. Super fast service. Fluorescent menus for specials and banquets. $4 wine and beer. And tasty food.
I passed by this restaurant for many times and today I finally went into the restaurant with my friends. The food is amazing! Especially for the shrimp dumplings and Steamed BBQ Pork Bun. I love them! Especially, the Century Egg Congee with Chicken (porridge) reminds me of my hometown back in China. It’s really a nice place for the traditional Chinese cuisine. I will definitely try more dishes next time!
Quick value meals. Attentive friendly service.
Great place for lunch opposite Vic Market.
A good inner city lunchtime option good dumplings and great value rice dishes. Go for the roasted duck rice at only $10.50 it is great value.
Good Cantonese style meals here. Not many left in Melbourne now. Hope they stay there for many years ...
