Cha Ching is an Asian fusion concept restaurant where customer enjoys variety of Asian dishes on a table with Asian spiced drinks and cocktail for an affordable per dinner and lunch.
Synonymous with luck in Chinese culture, Cha Ching is a project three years in the making, from Owner & Head Chef Ken Leung.
From working in Hong Kong’s Michelin Star St George Restaurant in 2012 to experience in kitchens across Melbourne’s elite food scene, Ken’s hospitality experience spans over 15 years.
The result? Cha Ching’s menu is an homage to Asian cuisine, emboldened by the multiculturalism of Melbourne.
Street food with finesse and re-imagined traditional cuisine, every dish pops with vibrancy and colour!

Service from Jamie was great. We were sitting in a corner so it was noisy, sound bouncing from everywhere. Their “feed me” style option looked like good value. We chose not to do that as one person in our party just doesn’t. Food is kinda pricey if going a la carte so I would recommend doing it. All items we ate were super tasty! Cocktails were fun.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Cha Ching Restaurant! We had an incredible dinner at Cha Ching Restaurant in Melbourne, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy décor. The service was impeccable — the staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. As for the food, every dish we ordered was a burst of flavors. The [mention a standout dish] was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, while the [another dish] had a unique twist that made it unforgettable. Don’t miss their [special dessert or drink] — it was the perfect ending to an outstanding meal! Overall, Cha Ching Restaurant exceeded our expectations with its top-notch service, delicious food, and lovely ambiance. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Melbourne! Would you like me to adjust this to reflect any specific dishes or experiences you had?

Food was average, drinks were diabetically sweet. Was excited to come here but left highly disappointed. We had two servers, one was great (she was asian), the other one was on the spectrum for sure, she was super rude, dropped used cutlery and some food scraps on a colleague of mine and I and did not apologise for doing so. Unfortunately another hyped place from tiktok, wouldn't come back.

The staff were very attentive and polite. The overall layout was well spaced and decent sized tables but found it quite noisy and had to raise my voice to hear what I was saying to my wife. Nice modern setting and extremely great value for money. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for The excellent experience!

Every bite was absolutely delicious. Bubblegum martini was really fun (and contrary to his name it was not too sweet nor did it taste like bubblegum - it was delicious)
