Ginseng Modern Asian Cusine

Five star. One thing you must try is the Peking Duck. I would travel for miles to experience it again.

Definitely not your average local Chinese restaurant!
The food was plentiful, tasty and super tender, with the service helping make the night. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and engaging. You just don't get service like that anymore.
Plus, they still do hot towels and after dinner mints.
We drove all the way from Bentleigh for dinner on recommendation and will certainly be back. Faultless.

The best Chinese restaurant. We have been going there for years and always receive great service. Highly recommend

A regular 'date night' for my best friend and I for our bi-monthly catch up! Tentative service and yummy food that absolutely doesn't break the budget. Easy place to go. Recommended.

Have always had good experiences with my orders at Ginseng. But tonight I ordered a Nasi Goreng. OMG it was so hot I couldn't eat it. Very disappointing.

Lovely place for a quality sit down meal. Kids catered for as well as adults. Byo available. I really enjoyed my time here and dil be back.

Had a lovely meal here last night. Food was tasty, service was great and the live music was on point

My Singapore noodles were too spicy for my liking and not as nice as others in the area but the staff were friendly

Great food, very friendly service staff, and relatively quick food from out of the kitchen. Best Dimsims ever, Beef Rendang, spicy but not over bearingly hot, crispy chicken ribs lived up to their name. All in all well worth the money and trip out.

This place is one of our favs.
The service is fantastic and the food is always excellentbest dim sims around especially fried
Do yourself a favour and dine it for a delish meal

Contemporary Asian cuisine, with simple dishes, fresh produce and extra ordinary service. Owners are great hosts and excellent with their hospitality.

First time there for dinner and enjoyed the place n food. Its clean, excellent service n food. The price is very reasonable.

Birthday celebration food excellent value, yummy, staff happy to accommodate anything well done

Very nice fresh food and great staff with the owner front of house. The place was packed for a Saturday night birthday function, but we never waited longer than 15min after ordering, for our food to arrive. Wonderful place to dine, good atmosphere, good people, great food and not expensive, great value for money. We will be back for sure.

The unassuming Ginseng sits inconspicuously on the main street tempting you with its positive reviews, like some kind of reasonably priced Chinese food siren.

“Oh great, ” I said, “I can’t wait to eat something super easy to make and that is on every single Chinese restaurant menu since the concept of menus was a thing first conceived by humans! ”

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a pleasant giant who seems like he is hiding some kind of underlying rage but is actually quite nice.

Sitting down and looking around it’s hard to tell if you’re in a Chinese restaurant or a bar with way too many tables who decided to celebrate Chinese New year and then kind of never took the decorations down. The paper on the tables also made me feel like I was about to be served banana mush at a nursing home.

Now, obvious snideness aside, the service was actually very good. We got napkins thrown on our laps and a scorching towel at the end of the meal which felt like it had been secreted in an orifice of Satan himself for maximum temperature. So, that was all very nice. Who I assume was the manager, was also quite pleasant.

Now, back to the awful food. It was awful. The food at Ginseng is what I imagine it would be like to put a bunch of food court Chinese dreck in your pockets, throw your pants in the washing machine and then eat the contents of your pockets when the cycle is done. I ate a honey pepper beef dish that had vegetables underneath the meat that were in a pool of water so deep I thought I was going to fall in and drown; my waterlogged corpse found weeks later by tuna fishermen.

The rest of the dishes my party ordered were similarly bland, covered in a vaguely flavoured gravy and saturated in some kind of science fiction forcefield where no flavour could escape.

I have literally eaten food court Chinese food that had more flavour and left me feeling more satisfied than this over priced microwave meal quality flotsam that emerged from the kitchen and attempted to force itself down my throat like a face hugger from Alien, impregnating me with the knowledge that I just spent $26 to eat prison food.

I don’t expect 5 star food when I eat a restaurant that can’t even decide what honey sauce is supposed to taste like (mine was some kind of beef gravy, perhaps Coles brand) but when food court Chinese food eclipses that quality of this particular nastiness that was served to us like a caber tosser hurling a Ford Fiesta into the sun, that is alarming and borderline insanity that no one up to this point on the face of our planet has noticed this.
