Hoi's Kitchen — Restaurant in Melbourne

Great small local Chinese. I ordered 4 dishes and 2 rice and it was all ready in 15 minutes. The fact that the kitchen is open for you to see and is clean is fantastic. When a restaurant is willing to have the kitchen open it shows that they are transparent and know they they have a good standard as they have nothing to hide. The food was good, the xo sauce could have been spicier for me but I understand that they have to cater for everyone, not just those with a spicier taste. Although I did notice they were selling home made hot sauce containers for 50 cents so I should have got one of those.

I would recommend this restaurant for their take away and I would definitely bring my family for a meal when all the covid 19 craziness eases and will come here again for takeaway...

Got the Szechuan chicken, prawn spring rolls, and chicken spare ribs. Prawn spring rolls were actually pretty decent, good, crunchy, salty. The spare ribs were soaked in oil, the skin on it was slimey and hard to chew, they were the worst absolute worst ribs I’ve ever had. We feel sick after having them, probably had half a litre of oil in it.

Didn’t think it could get worse and boom the Szechuan chicken was a sickeningly ketchup filled disaster with no Szechuan pepper in sight. The chicken had a slight poultry smell to it. It was not appetising at all. I have no idea why this place is highly rated. It was an absolute disaster. Total damage for one entree two mains a bowl of steamed rice and a small iced tea was 65 dollars. Such awful...

Been to this place a few times now and never once feel disappointed with the food. It’s a small yet simple setup restaurant but the food served is nothing unlike small (refers to the quality value).

We had a small selection of their dim sum and I had to say that I’m very impressed. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients from the Prawn Dumplings (har gao), Siu Mai, Crispy Tofu Skin Roll and fried wonton! The colour of the fried wonton also tells you how fresh the oils are. Unlike those dark fried wonton you get from some well known dim sum restaurants, their fried wonton is golden in colour. I loved their fried wonton. It’s by far the best fried...
