Oriental Teahouse Melbourne CBD

The ambience is nice, and the food is beautifully presented. The only downside is that although the dishes look rich and flavourful, they taste quite mild and not well seasoned.

We recently hosted my girlfriends 30th birthday and it was amazing. Food was great and the service was top level. Vina and Quan were the best! Attentive, quick, considerate and did everything with a smile. Food was delicious and plentiful. Nice ambience, good vibe. I want to thank the Oriental Teahouse team at large, Rachel & Gordon for making the planning process easy. We are definitely coming back in the future 👌

Definitely a 5-star experience. I’ve been here twice now, and the food was just as impressive the second time as it was the first — consistent quality is rare, but this place nails it. The veggie fried rice (no egg) was perfectly seasoned and fluffy, the crispy kung pao cauliflower had just the right balance of crunch, heat and sweetness. The salt n pepper tofu was addictive — crisp outside, soft inside, and packed with flavour. The mushroom dumplings were delicate and bursting with umami. The staff were warm, polite, and genuinely friendly — the kind of service that makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend this spot for everyone. For my vegetarian friends, there are plenty of delicious options to choose from.

This restaurant is highly recommended for group dining. Our group of 10 enjoyed the set menu, which is reasonably priced with unlimited starters—though you can only reorder after finishing your mains, a unique approach to reducing food waste. The menu is diverse, with standout dishes like duck spring rolls, ginger prawn dumplings, steak with rice pancakes, and calamari. The white chocolate dumpling dessert was exceptional. However, they don’t accommodate dietary swaps, so we had to order extra dishes à la carte. While that was inconvenient, the food and ambiance were excellent, and we had a great time overall.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating our engagement ceremony at Oriental Tea House in Melbourne CBD, and I can't recommend this place highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with impeccable service, and it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The chef's pick menu was absolutely outstanding—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Every course seemed to surpass the last, showcasing the culinary talent of the kitchen. The variety and freshness of the ingredients really made the meal an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to Jolyn Tan, the Functions and Events Manager, for her incredible support throughout the planning process. Jolyn made sure everything ran smoothly, and her attention to detail truly made our day special. She was attentive, professional, and ensured that our ceremony was not only seamless but also exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere at Oriental Tea House was perfect for our celebration—charming, welcoming, and elegant. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our engagement was a day to remember. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience, whether it's for a special occasion or just a night out. Thank you again to the team for making our day so memorable!
