    We live in Sunshine Coast and booked our trip to Melbourne 9 mths ago the first place we booked was tian 38 as we had seen the food and reviews from Facebook. We ordered satay chicken which was full of flavour our next dish was char kuay teow it was absolutely gorgeous but my favourite dish overall was the fresh mud crab Singapore chilli crab oh wow it blew our minds the crab was cooked to perfection the sauce was perfectly spicy without it overtaking the crab and the mantou buns were delicious to mop the gorgeous chill sauce up with. We had the signature cocktail tian sling which was also divine the staff members were so welcoming and friendly can’t wait to revisit

    Visited my favourite yum cha destination yet again and not only did they not disappoint, Saturday Lunch was absolutely fantastic. The service was great with I believe the best variety and volume of dim sum and various dishes that there's ever been. They also were offering fresh juices and I snagged 2 watermelon juices which hit the spot, a great fix coming into the summer😍 The fried calamari are delicious, the dim sum variety was exceptional, the duck was cooked to perfection and the fried prawn beancurd yuuuuuuuum it's just all so good I love it As always, Secret Kitchen delivers great quality dim sum and cuisine and although it's not as cheap as some other alternatives, too many other places nowadays are disappointing whereas secret kitchen excels...and the price is still reasonable. It was a month or so since my last visit and I was reminded that this was way too long, I can't wait to go back again!😎

    Steamed dim sum not hot enough. At 1st we thought only one dish but ended up a few steamed dim sum dishes we ordered were not hot enough. Still a bit cold in the middle.

    Lots of different meat varieties to bbq but all meat was chewy and tough. All these years Desert station is never replenished from 20:45 onwards and item always run out before I get to it. I always miss out on egg tarts. However, there are lots of varieties of delicious food to choose from. The mushroom sauce ran out at the beginning and was never refilled for my steaks. Overall, great place for special occasions and events to suit a wide variety of tastebuds. Adding pizzas and pasta would also be ideal even though it’s an Asian buffet.
