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!

    Our experience was here was good! Food was delicious and staff were attentive and helpful. Only downside to our experience was that floor plan of this space is very tight. The tables are way too close to each other and the space feels extremely cramped. It was hard to get out of my seat without disturbing our neighbouring tables. I also mentioned in my reservation that I was here to celebrate a special occasion for my partner, unfortunately this was not acknowledged unlike the table beside us who was also celebrating a special occasion. Overall the food and cocktails were delicious. I would only advise that more care needs to be put into the guest experience.

    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!
