I’ve been here a handful of times now and always love the food. Healthy, fresh and delicious. The coconut chicken hot pot is amazing and the pork ribs are a must. Truffle fried rice with seafood is 11/10.

I understand it closes at 10 o'clock! But what's the point of coaxing people? Arrival time was 8: 30, everyone was served at 9: 00, and it was already 9: 15 to start eating. There was no message reminding the store to close at 10 o'clock.
At 9: 58, the waiter said directly: We are closing the store, please eat quickly. I can’t afford to go to such a grand store. I need to do some service training. I don’t like to give bad reviews to any store, but I reject any store with a bad attitude! There is still a whole plate of beef that I haven't finished yet. Really bad experience

I've dined at this restaurant for dinner on approximately four occasions, but my most recent visit left me quite disappointed. During this visit, my family and I had an unpleasant experience with both the quality of the food and the pricing. We were taken aback by the high cost of the mixed balls platter, which featured 10 mix balls priced at $18.80, and we considered it to be quite steep. We wanted to cancel the order immediately, but unfortunately, they wouldn't accommodate our request.

Furthermore, we were dismayed to find out that the "fresh" clams were actually frozen and lacked flavor. However, I must acknowledge that the pig stomach and soup were enjoyable. While the service wasn't exceptionally friendly, the staff did make an effort to be helpful.

Unfortunately, I don't foresee myself returning to this restaurant in the near future. Following our disappointing experience here, we decided to have a second dinner at Hai Di Lao, where we were much more satisfied with both the food and service.

Called to locate, the operator was unwilling to book for us, forcing us to book online, the online reservation at 7: 30 showed the location, and clicking in was a booking error. Called back to the waiter to let us refresh and try....... You are so awesome, so I wish you a prosperous business

The Coconut Chicken Hotpot was delicious and very filling. Perfect on a rainy Melbourne Saturday

I saw it recommended by Xiaohongshu (it is easy enough to be brainwashed haha
Everything is delicious and the price is affordable!
but! Even if you make a reservation by phone, you still have to wait for a seat! ! !
I thought it was sad to book a seat!
The food is delicious, but because I am so hungry that I want to vomit and wait for a seat, I can only give four stars

The service attitude of the female cashier was very poor, and she asked another waiter to get the floating powder, and she asked me very meanly, can I do it by myself? I saw that the waitress was very busy and got up to find someone to ask. Her attitude is outrageous.

This nicely presented gem tucked on little lonsdale Street was nothing short of a treasure trove of old skool Cantonese dishes. Truly a taste carried by the previous Kum Den in chinatown, this is a much neater and modern venue with a taste of old skool Cantonese cuisine.

We had a fantastic time at New Kum Den on the Chinese New Year eve. The coconut chicken hotpot was good as always. The steamed fish was a ritual for the new year eve. The staff provided excellent service. Moreover, there we saw the lion dance and the firecrackers brought us back to childhood. What a memorable evening! Thanks New Kum Den. I wish you a prosperous year.

Taste is just so so, not sure why it’s popular though. Also the receptionist is rude. Trying to cancel a vegetable order because we almost finished, but they said no cancellation if they already prepared, vege is raw, I don’t understand why it cannot be canceled plus they came very late that we almost finished. Very few pieces of cabbage charge of $10.50…

Excellent food and generous portions. Plenty of vegetarian options. Ambience could be improved.

Very similar hot pot to the one I had in Malaysia, they use the coconut broth here, added with chicken bits to make a very hearty soup. Ordered your typical sides for hotpot dish which was beef, pork and beef toungue slices. Would come here when I’m craving something soupy.

My first dine in experience here though I’ve ordered their delivery so many times before.
The classic coconut chicken soup was the best, healthy and light. It came with a mixed vegetables platter which is more than enough for two girls.

Great food and service. Will not hesitate to come back again. Highly recommend the pepper pork stomach soup, deep fried large intestine and steam prawns with vermicelli.

Had some fried rice. It was quite oily, and pricey for the dish.
On the positive side, service was OK. Restaurant was clean, decor was nice.

Prepare to spend 15 -20 minutes deciphering the QR code menu, which requires you to scroll through the seemingly endless list of different categories. When you do get to your desired category, scroll down and you will find 0 photos.
Felt cold all throughout the dining experience as there was a constant draft coming from the doorway.

Authentic Hotpot experience! You know the food is going to be AMAZING when in-house dipping sauce is delicious. They have extremely friendly customer service and focus on what they do best! Well priced for the food that you get. Will definitely come back for this specific flavour hotpot again!

This is a authentic Chinese restaurant which has a great hot pot. We have been many times and love it. The staff are really friendly and make us feel welcome. The food is so tasty and we only have good things to say about this place.
