Lee Ho Fook means ‘good fortune for your mouth’ - inspired from the Warren Zevon lyrics in Werewolves of London.
A Chinese restaurant, hidden down a Melbourne laneway, off the iconic Flinders Lane dining precinct.

Our cuisine takes the legacy of deliciousness given to us by generations of Chinese Australians and taking it to a highly personal and creative direction.

A new style of Chinese cuisine.

From the mind of Victor Liong.

The food was delicious, and beautifully presented. Service was warm. Really appreciated the complementary glass of champagne for being a solo diner! The crispy aubergine is famous for a reason! So good!

With the well known name I known from London I didn’t expect it to be a fusion restaurant and it’s not much to my taste. For the price one pays it’s not quite value for money. I would pay that price I would rather go to Flower Drum anytime! The yuppies may love it but not for traditional Asian guys like me. For me and my family from Asia just take it as an experience. Ambience is rustic like a whole in the wall in an alley.

Food absolutely brilliant but $$$ We waited a long time for drinks, starters and main course. We thought it was understaffed which is understandable these days but sad for the price you’re paying.

Food was excellent on this busy Lunar New Year’s night. But slow service (inordinately so at times) meant it took very long to order, receive wine glasses (we were BYOing) and the pacing of food was too slow. There were a number of special Lunar New Year dishes that we ordered, the ubiquitous longevity noodles among them. I’d return for the food, but only if the service is better.
