What travelers say:
Wanshou Palace/Flower Drum, I have wanted to eat it for a long time~
The first dish is pearl meat, which is literally the meat wrapped in pearls in shells. The taste is very similar to chewier scallops, and it goes well with asparagus.
The second dish is shrimp meat rice rolls, which are so-so.
The third dish is four kinds of Hong Kong-style dim sum. After eating siu mai with rice inside, I don’t think it’s so delicious to eat meat inside.
The fourth dish is Peking duck. The manager said that the fat in the roast duck was specially cut out because Westerners don’t like it. However, the exquisiteness of this dish lies in the special sauce that draws the duck shape, which is very interesting.
The fifth dish is crispy roast chicken. The skin on the outside is indeed very crispy and the meat inside is just tender.
The side dishes after the meal are very refreshing and greasy. After the whole meal, I have to sigh that this is indeed the finest fine dining in Melbourne Chinese food.

Had lunch here, we were made very welcome and seated promptly even without a booking. We ordered off the spring menu and found the food delicious, the tenderloin steak melted in the mouth, the duck was also very tender, we couldn't fault the food, the toffee apple was delicious, it was like a piece of art in its own right.
Garden Restaurant, hehe, it was still crowded at 1pm! I think it must be really delicious!! I strongly hope that everyone who comes here will try this pan-fried salmon!! Crispy skin and tender meat!! Such a big piece of fish, I finished it in a few bites! It's so delicious I don't know what the base is! It's QQ and soft, but it's not quinoa Their croissants are also delicious! The moment the Benedict eggs are cut and flowed out is so healing. The Hollandaise sauce is superb Croissants are served with bacon, egg liquid and white cheese, hehe, delicious And the tropical juice mixed with passion fruit, watermelon and pineapple, ah, sour, sweet and delicious
We did the tasting and the waiter kindly let us vary our dishes so we didn't get exactly the same food, on top of that they split our dishes into half portions so we could try a bit of everything so 6 entrees tasting turned into about 9 entrees, absolutely right, the table service and showmanship I will remember for a long time, great work by the team!!!!!!
Wanshou Palace has won many titles in Melbourne and is truly the pride of Chinese Cantonese cuisine. The group ordered a lot of classic Cantonese dishes, including lobsters weighing more than ten pounds and groupers weighing more than 200 pounds. These ingredients are also unparalleled. The cold sea shell meat is particularly delicious, and the shells are used as plates to serve the table, which is very innovative. The lamb brisket and lobster rice are OK, but the soup should be drunk while it is hot, otherwise it will be a bit fishy when it is cold. The restaurant is very large, with many private rooms, and it is difficult to get one. The hall must also be booked in advance.
Almost all chefs and cooks of Wanshou Palace are from Hong Kong, and the waiters can speak Cantonese. So there is no need to worry about the taste not being authentic! The dishes here are on par with the Chinese restaurants in five-star hotels in Hong Kong. Wanshou Palace has been awarded two chef hats in Australia for many years, and was rated as the best Chinese restaurant in the world by gourmet Cai Lan. Even former US President George H.W. Bush and his wife have visited it.
Wanshou Palace is the oldest and best Cantonese restaurant in Melbourne. This restaurant has been open in Chinatown for 41 years. The average cost per person is about 600 RMB. The service is very good, and each waiter is responsible for 3 tables of guests. The food tastes good too, and it is worth a try.
