Chef David - Melbourne CBD

They made a mistake putting our order in and did not confirm. After 40 minutes of waiting, the man who served us drinks asked us if we were going to order any more and was really rude about his mistake. Terrible service

Possibly the worst service I have experienced dreadful customer service food good a shame the staff has no customer service skills.

Amazing food and service. Our waiter guided us perfectly and we enjoyed one of the best Chinese food experiences of all time.

Love their grilled fish, the taste is good as always !

Stunning inside the restaurant and very prompt service, we all had a wonderful time, only one dish we had trouble finishing because the "mild" was still pretty spicy!

loved the drinks and the vibes! I definitely would come again!

The grilled fish was great! Love the 99 dollar deal that comes with rice, skewers and juice! Very yummy and will definitely be back!

Great food and interesting place to eat. Nice music and atmosphere

Great food and great fun, good kid friendly atmosphere. Recommend

It was very average. Average service. Below overage drinks. Food was quite okay, nothing too special. We ordered one hotpot, a rice and some skewers. And 4 mocktails. The bill was roughly 260$. You can get mich better experiences for half the price in Melbourne CBD now. I'd recommend the business to get better front staff. An actual bartender who can make some modern contemporary drinks. Lower your prices and use the amazing locality to run some attractive promotions. Good luck!

Very nice restaurant. Has a very nightclub-ish vibe. Good food.

The pork belly and fried rice were good. Skewers were just a bit too spicy for me

Long wait and terrible service. Never come this restaurant again

Amazing experience here lovely food and service great staff and restaurant looks great

Staff friendly but food was cold and service disjointed and poor

Whilst there was a bit of a wait despite having a booking, they gave us a free drink each for compensation and the food was amazing. When I come back to Melbourne, I’ll definitely be going here again.

Food was good, but overpriced, and services was bad, or there was little services, had to wait for a long time for them to take orders, feels like getting ignored, took forever for them to bring your orders to the table. Will not go back again.

We were seated 20 minutes after arrival, despite having a reservation. We ordered, it took an hour for our drinks to arrive. Our food trickled out randomly over time. After we'd finished eating the fish (by this time it was 9:30pm), we asked a waiter where our pekking duck was, and he stated that the kitchen "lost" our order and it would take an additional 30 minutes for them to prepare it now. We told them to not bother. Most of our group left the restaurant still hungry. Also, the cost far outweighed the food quality and service provided. Overall, the worst dining experience I've had in Melbourne.

Atmosphere & setting was beautiful, a little confusing layout but great food & drinks options

Overall it was such an easy and fun night. Chef David is really a place to be when you’re feeling like good food and a fun night out but not too crazy. The food was delicious and I feel like it has gotten better since the last time i visited which was about 3 years ago. The music is the right level of loud , enough the keep the vibe but also good enough to hear the people I’m with. Loved it

Was our first time there service was fantastic 😄food was so delicious.

Cyber aesthetics were a little strange, but the food was really tasty!

Chicken popcorn was tasteless. Long Island ice tea was very basic. Overpriced for standard food. The pork and skewers were amazing but the rest was average

Awesome food Awesome venue Awesome service Definitely will go back

My friend and I came here and the food was incredible. So good!

Even though I booked, we had to wait for a long time. Food was uncooked and when complained, service was slow and unfriendly

Food was cold, and had no flavour in some of the dishes. Would not recommend, says there is a dj…. There was not.

More affordable then we though , four of us ate a lot and had a cocktail and shot for $80

very fresh fish, cooked to perfection 👌 would recommend to my friends

very fresh, nice flavour and texture of food yummy thanks

The vibe was good. Funky. Fun. I thought the food was underwhelming. I had wagyu pepper beef. It was quite bland and under seasoned. the meat, I was expecting it to melt in my mouth, alas it did not. Skewers were good.

Food is abysmal, too oily, at times undercooked, minimal flavour. Over priced.

Food and place were all good - service , particularly drinks ( cocktails ) was so slow , took 20 minutes for 2 margarita’s , they were good , but took forever

Poor service and food was subpar for the price. C

The fish is too small, which is very different from what I ate last time. Two girls almost didn't have enough to eat. Want to know how the quality control of fish is done?

Nice restaurant ambience but heaps of noise coming from upstairs tvs playing too loud

Lovely 😍 fresh food and a great atmosphere. Great menu with many options

Great atmosphere, grill fish is ok but duck and stirfry dishes are less tasty compare to anthentic chinese food. One dish is cold when got served to us, they didn’t change for us, just put back and stir fry one more time. It’s completely overcooked.

good food, better customer service, and the best interior aesthetics!

Food was ok. Service a bit slow using iPads. Thanks

Food is awesome, service is second to none. I have read other reviews and honestly feel some are very unfair this restaurant is excellent.

Food was okay. Service was hopeless. Guess this is my first and last time here.

Nice place, definitely well thought through. The food was ok, highs and lows, I had significantly better skewers elsewhere for a fraction of the price though

Food wasn’t hot by the time it reach us. The signature fish dish was average at best. The flavour of the cold chicken was lacking. Overall rather disappointed

This is the second time we've been to Chef David and we've gone back because the food is insane amazing. Loved the atmosphere. Incredible food.

loved the food the music was a bit loud at times though

Not bad at all. We we're sat at our table and served in reasonable time. The atmosphere was great. Great conversation with each other, as it wasn't noisy. The music was muted and great. The decor was very cool. The sichuan pepper was perfect for my husband as it was his birthday. I would recommend a less spicy level personally. The food was delicious. We had skewers of lamb, chicken, beef and prawns. Grilled barramundi, truffle fried rice and jugs of plum juice for a party of 5.

I have an amazing experience thanks to the staff. Will be back soon

The atmosphere and service was very good. Food was served quickly and was delicious.😋

The food came out quick and the meat was super tasty!
