Tung Wo Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

Update: Back again to this Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant. One customer was having couple of dishes we have never seen before and he told us it was Stewed Beef with Rice Roll and Dried Bean Curd, Bitter Melon and Roast Pork with Rice.

We ordered instead Chilli Pork with Rice Roll, the above mentioned Dried Bean Rice dish and Dry Noodle with Stewed Beef.

The Chilli Pork was a little sweet. Not spicy and tasted quite like the sauce in Heinz Baked Beans in Ham Sauce. The rice rolls were pan fried. The Dried Bean Curd etc on rice was tasty with very subtle black bean notes. Not a fan of the bitter melon though. The Stewed Beef noodles was very tasty with the noodles cooked just right, slightly chewy, not soft/ overcooked.

1st Visit: Found this place when we were looking for a decent Hong Kong Chinese feed. The reviews were good, so we decided to give it a try.

Arrived at 7pm to find the place chockers with a queue. Luckily, we did not have to wait long as the patrons did not linger after having their food.

Looking for dishes reminiscent of our trip to Hong Kong, we ordered Wonton Soup, Rice with Salted Fish and Minced Pork Cake, Sampan Porridge and Stir Fried Beef in Black Bean Sauce with Rice Noodles.

The reviews were right - the wontons and particularly the broth was very good.

Be prepared to wait about 30 minutes for the steamed rice dish. It arrived with a generous thick patty on the rice with a very scant salted fish topping plus a sweet soy sauce to drizzle.

The Sampan Porridge arrived still bubbling, it needed seasoning and was loaded with mainly shredded fish cake (I think) plus some pork bits and cuttlefish. Nevertheless, it was a decent bowl of congee.

The black bean sauce beef and noodles were tasty. The black beans were not over powering and the noodles definitely had the “wok breath”

Ambience takes you back to Hong Kong, noisy but at a comfortable level where you can still have a conversation. On a warm day, well air...

I was deeply disappointed about the service provided at the restaurant, I have been a regular customer for the past 5 years and have always given my respect to the staff and owner. However, it has all changed this time. I have asked for some ice (as I previously did and they had given it to me in the past without any issues) given my congee was boiling hot and it had burnt my tongue, the staff first refused and then the owner came and spoke to me in full cantonese despite she knows I don't understand a single word at all, she was blustering at me (there might be verbal abuses but I couldn't understand) and gave zero care about customer service. In addition, the fact that this whole time neither the staff nor the owner said "sorry that we couldn't provide you with ice" to make me feel like being treated as customer. I ended up going to mcdonald's across the road to get some ice, and I respectfully told the staff that you can't judge or decide how I eat my food at the end of meal. I have also filed a formal complaint at Customer Affairs Victoria regarding congee being boiling hot and restaurant has refused to provide ice despite my tongue...

This restaurant have most of the food in Hong Kong style restaurant, including dim sum, wonton noddles, tai pai dong dishes & milk tea etc. Unfortunately today wonton has sold out, so we just turn for dumplings noddles. It is great, the noddles and dumplings are 100% Hong Kong style. Some restaurant use the wrong kind of noddles in this dish but this shop done great 👍 Wish I can try their wonton next time. Another bitter gourd & beef with pan fried rice noddles is surprising me too. They made the rice noodles crispy enough even placing the gravy on it. The cooking skill (wok Qi) is nice. The snack fried spring roll is delicious. They made it freshly upon your order and the spring roll is really hot enough. You can feel they have use enough prawn inside and not mixing many other ingredients to fill the whole roll in order to reduce the cost. I love Hong Kong milk tea a lot, but the milk tea here is not very good. It's too watery and you can hardly feel the taste of tea. However, it seems the restaurant is using the Black & White evaporated milk which is what I really appreciated. Certainly...
