Nestled in the heart of Piper Street, Fook Shing breathes new life into a historic pub that witnessed the gold rush era. Our name pays homage to the infamous Chinese Detective, Fook Shing, who was posted to the goldfields during Victoria's Gold Rush. Fook Shing, originally based in Melbourne's Chinatown, was the go-to plain clothes detective for any Chinese-related issues in central Victoria. During his time in the area, he even resided in the pub where Fook Shing is now located. The message "Send Fook Shing" was a regular directive from Victoria's Police Commissioner, highlighting the detective's importance and impact on the region. Drawing inspiration from this colorful period in Victoria's history, we have created a unique connection between our cuisine, the person, and the place.

Reviews
"Decent restaurant in the middle of Kyneton. We had to reserve a table for the following day as we were turned away when we tried a walk up. This place is extremely popular so bear that in mind if you're planning a trip. Once seated the service was a little slow at first but once we got our drinks the food was along in a reasonable amount of time. We chose a variety of dishes and most of them were great although the massaman curry we felt was a bit of a let down compared to the other items we chose. Overall a decent experience and I would dine here again."
"I can’t stop thinking about the Crispy Half Chicken! Fook Shing is a beautiful place to eat great food and be with loved ones. It was such a happy vibe for a Saturday lunch. Something that really stood out to me. The interior design, fit-out, fireplaces; loved it. We opted not to have the banquet, (something we’re doing more of in venues that offer) and once again were very happy we did. Two knock-out choices from the larger plates, one medium and a couple of drinks was very satisfying. The Half Chicken was flavour-packed amazing, just delicious. The Char Kway Teow, Malaysian rice noodle with pork and prawn also delicious. Very generous portion sizes. The Sri Lankan fish cakes a disappointing miss, (for me my partner enjoyed them). Warm, gooey, fishy… more arancini than cake. The picked cucumber accompaniment was ‘wow’, I would’ve been satisfied with just a bowl of that. The wine list is extensive and well priced, all bases covered. We left very happy and would love to go back for something celebratory with friends Fook Shing is that kind of place - if it were possible to avoid banquet? Highly recommend."
"Very good food in an inviting space, the Bao’s and dumplings fabulous. Staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and very friendly. An overall wonderfull experience, well worth the drive from Melbourne."
"Fantastic banquet menu. Really balanced and included all the highlights of Thai food (for me anyway!). Service was great, wine list comprehensive and the restaurant was comfortable and warm in a cold and windy day. Would return next time we are in the area for sure."
"Fook Shing is a restaurant that needs to be on your list of places to visit! The food is absolutely amazing, the different layers of flavours in each dish are mind blowing and just wonderful, I have never had such amazing food before. The drinks hit the spot and the variety of cocktails, wines and beers gives you so many choices. The atmosphere at Fook Shing is relaxing and comfortable and the people who work there are the heart of the restaurant and are just all round amazing and fantastic at what they do, if you're unsure of what to try ask them because their knowledge of what's on the menu is second to none. Would definitly give more stars if it was possible! My camera does not do the meals justice!"
