Golden Chopstix

Springvale’s weekend parking chaos is a rite of passage—but the payoff here makes it entirely worth it. Discerning eaters navigating the local Asian dining circuit make a beeline straight for Golden Chopstix. A bustling, newly refreshed space slinging some of Melbourne’s most stellar siu mei. The roast pork belly? Unapologetically generous with an immaculate, shattering crackle. The char siu and roast duck hit a perfect sweet-savoury balance over rice. Beyond the chopping block, the XO pipis pack a robust, umami punch, while the wonton soup noodles rival top-tier bowls anywhere in the city. Lightning-fast service. Genuinely warm staff who treat every table like extended family. Unbeatable weekday lunch specials mean you feast heavily on a budget. Grab a jar of their addictive house-made chilli oil on the way out—pure gold.
