Hua Lu Peking Duck

Located right in Melbourne—serving a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes with serious flair. Discerning banquet-goers book out the cozy private booths on a random Tuesday just for the multi-course spreads. Glassy, crackling skin. Succulent meat. Steaming, paper-thin pancakes ready to wrap. Those who know their true *kao ya* (roast duck) never skip the rich, peppery duck soup. But the menu goes deep. Adventurous palates dive straight into the stir-fried chicken innards—a spicy, umami-packed masterpiece full of *wok hei*. Add in the sweet and sour pork served over crushed ice for a wild textural crunch, plus pitch-perfect black bean tofu. Massive portions. Incredible value. Fast, hyper-efficient service that keeps the tables turning. Bring a hungry crew.
