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!

The staff were very attentive and polite. The overall layout was well spaced and decent sized tables but found it quite noisy and had to raise my voice to hear what I was saying to my wife. Nice modern setting and extremely great value for money. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for The excellent experience!

Every bite was absolutely delicious. Bubblegum martini was really fun (and contrary to his name it was not too sweet nor did it taste like bubblegum - it was delicious)

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.
