Just had a week’s holiday in Melbourne and had lunch twice at this Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and found it to be fun, good value with tasty food. This was our first experience with Yum Cha. Yum Cha is here served from 12-5pm. We arrived late at 2.45 pm and the trolley service was just finishing so we had some... More

Every couple of years we find ourselves at Westlake, usually after not finding a table at Shark Fin.

Food are nice and quick served. But the waiters and waitresses are not friendly and not smiley. I dont like this personally. Price is ok. I dont like the arrangement of chairs and tables, because too crowded,without space walking.

We have been here many times, sometimes just a quick lunch but a few times we have stayed there all afternoon just enjoying the many various plates that are on offer. There is a great mixture of chinese, lots of steamed food but also fried and the usual. Food comes around fast and often so grab what you want quickly... More

We have been going to Westlake for over 8 years, and always thought it was good value for the money. On our latest visit to the restauraunt we ordered Peking Duck. "What a mistake" They fill the pankakes for you. WHY, because they have not bothered to shred the spring onions or other ingredients and its quicker to get you... More

Primary reason for choosing this restaurant in Chinatown was that it was filled with customers and the food on the table looked good, usually a good sign that the food & service are good. We were seated straight away, jammed in so closely between other tables that it was ridiculous. We weren't given menues until we had to ask for... More

Eight adults booked upstairs for 8pm on a Saturday. One of us heavily pregnant (40 weeks). She wasn't drinking alcohol so we ordered water. Still waiting half an hour later. Ordered water again. Still no love. Our dinner arrived and we tried ordering it again, this time I asked to look at the drinks menu. That was bought but still... More
