Grand Orient Restaurant

"Really cannot find much to feedback. Food is really good, authentic I should say. Probably only thing is they do not allow BYO wine."

"The finest Chinese restaurant period. I would always recommend the duck, crayfish and snow crab dishes. When compared to the ones in bigger cities, I think this is the only place that can compete head to head. Not just the food, the ambience of the place is very classy. On top of that, they have the best service as well. An experienced staff named Daniel is a very professional staff that I always ask for."

"Good for very special occasions only. Venue: Located in Melbourne Hotel. Parking at street or fee payable covered carparks next to the hotel. Definitely fine dining setting and grand Retro decoration. Good ambiance. Very spacious. Comfy seating. The Lazy Susan is already installed into our big round table but not be rotated easily sometimes. --- 8.8/10 Service: reaches 5 starred hotel standards. --- 8.7/10 Food: Generally good presentation. Small portion. Uses Premium ingredients. Expectedly expensive mainly for very good servic, but too expensive for food. We had Ruby Set Menu ($138pp) plus signature Peking Duck (2 courses, $98/whole). Shame! Double Boiled Chicken & Abalone Soup (from the set menu) wasn't available, and we were forced to pick another cheaper and popular soup that the captain suggested. But the captain gave us a larger lobster. She showed us a live lobster first before it's cooked for us. - Apple Juice, $5 - Sliced Duck Wrapped with Pancakes北京片皮鴨, 12pcs: the duck was well roasted. Sliced by the captain. Large and thin slices of Cripsy duck skin. Another waitress wrapped the duck with Hoi Sin Sauce, Cucumber, Chinese Leek, and a super crispy flake. Just rolled up into cigar shape. The shape wasn't a traditional one. The sauce was dripping down from the other side when I was eating --- 9/10 - Sang Choy Bao鴨鬆生菜包, 8pcs: the number of pieces is not matched with Sliced Duck Pancakes. The lettuce was crunchy. A lot of gravy. The combination of fillings was mediocre --- 6/10 - Szechuen Spicy & Sour Seafood Soup四川海鮮酸辣湯: It's instead of Double Boiled Chicken & Abalone Soup. It only had a very little Crab meat and a few deep-fried Silver Fish in my bowl of the basic spicy & sour soup. Have the taste of spicy, but no sour. --- 7/10 Ruby Set Menu ($138pp) for 6: - Braised Live Lobster with E-fu Noodles 上湯龍蝦伊麵: lobster was cooked to perfection. The e-fu noodles were good too. The dish was distributed by the waitress. She should have to show the dish to us before dividing it into 6. And she didn't follow or understand or instruction as a kid needed an extra small bowl of noodles --- 8.5/10 Then, other savory dishes almost served together. - Truffle Seafood Fried Rice 松露海鮮炒飯: full of aroma of black truffles. The frying rice technique was ok. But I and my partner got only one small prawn in our bowls. I was searching over. Where's other seafood? Ridiculous. Don't name it seafood fried rice. --- 6.5/10 - English Spinach Poached in Supreme Chicken Broth 上湯菠菜: with Goji berries. --- 8/10 - Himalayan Seasalt & Black Pepper Wagyu Beef 海鹽黑椒和牛: only this one was large portion. Cooked with Shimeji mushrooms, three colors capsicum & onions. Good beef. Well-balanced --- 9/10 - Steamed Whole Coral Trout with Ginger & Shallot 薑葱蒸東星斑: the fish was too small for 6 adults. It would be ok if for 4 adults. Well- presented. Fish wasn't overcooked. --- 7.7/10 - Braised Half Green Lip Abalone with Sea Cucumber and Japanese Mushrooms 青邊鮑魚炆海参花菇: served with asparagus. Abalone was very thinly sliced and tender. Very small portion of Sea Cucumber. Japanese mushrooms were ok. --- 7.7/10 - Matcha Mousse and Black Sesame Ice cream: Asian flavors. My Mousse and ice cream wasn't well-shaped --- 8.5/10"

"Hands down The Best Peking roasted duck in Perth! The duck skin is super crispy and we can tell that it was properly prepared by blowing air into the duck before it’s roasted. The sauce, cucumber sticks and crunchy crackers are perfectly balanced with the fatty duck skin. The wok fried Angus beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce is amazing! The beef tenderloin is full of flavour and very tender. We have been coming back every time when we have a craving for Peking duck. Highly recommended!!!"

"Good place to find inside a refurbished heritage hotel. I was surprised to see this fine setup Chinese restaurant inside a heritage hotel. The interiors were designed to fit modern and classic heritage architecture that has been in place for the last few decades. Restaurant is spacious and very easy for walk-in guests to get their tables. For food, there are a lot of things to consider. For me the taste were not strong enough to show a strong traditional Chinese food (maybe the taste is modified or a fusion of other cuisine). When I ate there too during busy night, the food serving was considered long because I had to spent 3 hours for a normal dinner. However, on some other tables the guests were served well and there might be some 'Kitchen Operations' that were adjusted for me or my menu. Staffs were very fast (at that night the restaurant was busy too) and responsive to our demands. Price is above average to normal Chinese Restaurant but my in par with Fine Dining Meal pricing. Everything was well, and my only highlight was their Lobster Noodle (the Lobster was amazing). I might consider some few times to re-visit this restaurant, but everyone can try and experience it in your own."
