About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Charming

Lee Ho Fook means ‘good fortune for your mouth’ - inspired from the Warren Zevon lyrics in Werewolves of London.
A Chinese restaurant, hidden down a Melbourne laneway, off the iconic Flinders Lane dining precinct.

Our cuisine takes the legacy of deliciousness given to us by generations of Chinese Australians and taking it to a highly personal and creative direction.

A new style of Chinese cuisine.

From the mind of Victor Liong.

One of our party is coeliac This restaurant is billed as reasonably high end but did not present to us as expected We have travelled the world including China and we had GF pancakes , GF soy sauce ,GF hoisin sauce ,rice flour for frying instead of wheat flour etc. etc. None of these options were offered Serving Peking duck with lettuce leaves instead of pancakes and no sauce was not good enough Taste???? Wait Staff were OK but unfortunately weren't able to offer alternatives . Drink service was slow coming from upstairs

Very disappointing experience. Of the four dishes we tried, only one (the eggplant) was of better quality than what you'd get at the most basic, and much cheaper, Chinese restaurant. The dumplings honestly tasted store -bought, and both the lamb shoulder and prawn noodles were bland and insipid. On the plus side, the wine was quite good.

In a brilliant location just off Flinders lane. We were seated upstairs which I assume is the main dining area. It was only 30% full at 8pm. The service team were very charming and they were honest and helped us to ensure we didn't over order. We do have a habit of doing that! The food was tasty and the sweet and sour pork with stir fried rice exceptional. This is not a run of the mill Chinese restaurant and it has a small menu. Some of the seafood prices seemed very expensive but we are from overseas so are maybe out of touch.

We had the most delicious meal at Lee Ho Fook. Every dish exceeded expectations and was delicious! The only downside for us was the lack of atmosphere. We were seated downstairs where only one other couple were dining. We were not the main dining room of the restaurant. Disappointing, as there was no vibe at all downstairs. We had come from Hobart and were looking forward to a special night out.

The food was delicious, and beautifully presented. Service was warm. Really appreciated the complementary glass of champagne for being a solo diner! The crispy aubergine is famous for a reason! So good!
