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!

    Food is always delicious and service attentive, it is a small space and always busy so the vibe is very social and happy. Highly recommend.

    The food is fantastic, as are the cocktails. We've been there before and wanted a pre-concert meal and enjoyed the Happy Hour discounts.

    The food, ambience, and service was fantastic! We opted for the Feed Me Menu and it was more than enough food for the two of us, highly recommend the curry, and dumplings!

    Some twist from the original YumCha, this concept of modern YumCha with some infusion is pretty good, working well for the current society I guess, especially with those fancy drinks available at the bar, really make the experience very entertaining. Food itself is pretty tasty and well presented, job really well done, ChaChing!!!

    The food was delicious, the service mediocre. I was disappointed to see a message on open table saying we did not show when we in fact arrived half hour early.

    We did the bottomless yum cha, which was tasty but we didn’t appreciate that, upon being seated the staff choose the first 10 dishes and bring them out to you, following which customers are allowed to pick which dishes they want to eat. So we were forced to eat dishes that we wouldn’t have naturally picked from the menu, which resulted in us getting full and not trying the dishes from the menu that we would have actually enjoyed and consumed.
