Chef David - Melbourne CBD

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!

Amazing vibes and excellent food! Customer service is so friendly.

Food was extremely was slow and all the staff could say was that they were busy. No manager or supervisor on duty

Loved the food, service was great vibe and feel of restaurant was great although a little dark

The venue is cool, but the food was HORRIBLE. Everything was cold, and had no flavour we ate it thinking they were busy, it happens. But when more food came, We sent it back as it was old and still cold. They returned it half warmed up, half cold- rather than a fresh fish-and again, tasted terrible. I’ve had better Chinese style food from dodgy hole in the wall takeaways for half the price that actually didn’t taste like wet batter oil. DO NOT recommend.

Food has no flavour it’s all just chilli powder would not recommend and very overpriced for below average food

The staff were extremely helpful and were very nice the food was amazing

Food was excellent! Staff was friendly and attentive. Hunger thoroughly satiated!

Good vibe, good restaurant, food is tasty, and I love the music there, will go back again

Loved the spicy fish, has full of flavours. Peking duck is a bit cold

A nice dining place for groups as the food is meant to be shared.

Delicious food and stylish restaurant.Perfect for dinner parties with friends and family

Vibrant atmosphere and tasty food! also quick service and friendly staff.

Really delicious food with generous servings and funky decore. Will return

The skewer was great, but not so much w other food. The service was amazing 👍

Great food with awesome food but unfortunately the service was very poor. The venue wasn’t busy at all, I booked a private booth with a min spend amount so I thought we’d get some priority but I was wrong. We had long wait times, had to press the call button multiple times and the waiter was slow. Overall experience was 6/10.

I was quite disappointed with my experience at Chef David. The staff were disinterested and inexperienced. The cocktails were basic and lacked flavour, but were extremely expensive. An aperol spritz was $25! The food menu was confusing and had to be selected on a single iPad between two people, however you have to ring a staff member to place the order. Strange. The staff didn’t seem to know much about the food or have any suggestions. The food was mostly okay, however the Peking duck was a real shame. The duck was dry and the skin was rubbery, and the pancakes were

Service was very bad and we left before even ordering because we could not get any response

Service was so slow. Ordered 3 things and waited 45 minutes on a portion of rice for it to come out freezing cold. Ordered 2 more drinks and they never appeared either. Shambles

Good food, good service. Can't fault this place, also has entertaining claw machine

A very disappointing visit. No idea why the rating’s so high. Food was below average & we waited over an hour for a bowl of rice & one dish to come out. Extremely miniature portion sizes. Staff were also coughing frequently into their hands & then serving customers.

Worst service in Melbourne. Food is fine but service is so bad won’t come back again. Funky looking place, a real shame there is zero hospitality.
