Tian38 – A contemporary and progressive approach to Chinese cuisine. Paying homage to Chinese cuisine of yesteryear whilst asking ourselves what the next step is in its evolution.

Enter Tian38, simply a translation from “Shop38”, a nod to the simple naming convention some restaurants take in Hong Kong. Tian38 is a simple reference to our address in the heart of Melbourne’s Flinders Lane. A place where cultures intersect, a diversity is celebrated. Tian38 stakes in claim in contemporary Chinese cuisine.

    Great food especially signature chicken. Staff service are excellent and friendly. If you are lazy or have a-lot of indecisive friends and love wasting time, pick the Feed Me menu option with the recommended dishes to share.

    Had my birthday dinner with my partner, we went for the taste of Singapore $59 feed me menu. Overall, the food was average. It didn't really have the wow factor i was expecting.. the coconut pandan icecream was pretty much the highlight and nice ambience.
