Chef David - Melbourne CBD

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.

good chinese food, went during dinner and will go again definitely

The food was amazing, however we booked a private room as there were 9 of us with a pram, but this was not provided upon our arrival (in an almost empty restaurant). There seemed to be someone else in the room already, and we were crammed into a small space. Orders we placed were not put through (Peking duck) and the staff were generally inattentive and aloof (again in an almost empty restaurant). Will come back as the food was really lovely, but will be sure to adjust my customer service/experience expectations.

Food was just Ok service was slow and cutlery was dirty

brought my parents here and they loved it! the grilled garlic scallops were really good! also enjoyed the truffle fried rice! as always the grilled fish is chef's kiss!

food is always good! one of the best places to get mala grilled fish.. also enjoyed the live DJ music!

The restaurant provide great service when we visit this time: )

Supportive! Friendly. Attentive and accomodating. Especially with wheelchairs and service animals

Great atmosphere. Went for some skewer snacks at night. Taste good!

Food was horrible, tasteless and no flavour whatsoever. I eat Asian food all the time but this was not enjoyable at all.

Good skewers! Delicious! Also good atmosphere especially for a late night hang out place

Went out as a group of 5. Black bean Fish was really good and friends loved food too

The service was only ok, the food left a lot to be desired, and they messed up the order and served beef instead of fish to a pescatarian. All the ‘grilled’ items tasted heavily of butane as well. Didn’t enjoy it

The food were over price and plain, our pork belly stew was not great and lack of flavour. The ratings on the website is not accurate and we won't be back...better value somewhere else.

Great tasty food. The pecking duck was delicious and the fish looked amazing

Exceptional food in a very interesting setting. Very, very impressive

The dinner was great and service was good. Food is delicious and everyone was satisfied after the dinner. Just food may be too hot for some people even though we asked for mild. Overall, good experience

Great service - We had an elderly in our party of 7. They had a free private room downstairs, staff automatically offered us a room so that the elderly didnt have to go up stairs with his walking cane. Really appreciate the kindness.

Great food, though weekend surcharge is always ughhh. But happy w food quality and portion

Good food, in particular the skewers. Hot pot is tasty but would be good to have a greater selection of items

Food was not good, especially the peking duck very cold and dry. Scallops were fishy.

Great atmosphere for dining out! Menu is on the dearer side but I guess it’s quality food. Overall, the food was tasty & will go back again. 😃

Was a bit pricey but will go back again, maybe once a half year

It was really good! I love the assistant that was provided last night as well

lack of management, the food quality not as good as before

Nice place, slick decor and atmosphere, great staff, reasonable value. Limited selection of wines. Food was good if a little overcooked, but we rejected the scallops because the flavour was off and they were not cleaned prior to cooking.

We had great food, drinks, atmosphere, service and a great DJ with a great selection of music to go along with the meal!

Food was excellent, however the wait for our Barramundi fish was waaay too long, like 45mins! It was delicious tho.

The restaurant environment is very modern. The food is ok. The service is good.

I really enjoyed the food here, highly recommend the grilled fish!

Yummy food and nice place to go out with family and friends

My husband and I found Chef David Asian fusion very delicious, flavorful and the overall taste was delicious.Great experience with beautiful neon lights from entry to dining area makes this restaurant very attractive with high awesome energy. Very cool bar to the first level with DJ playing whilst you wait to be seated for a fun, well executed and enjoyable dinner.Highly recommended but a little pricey but well worth it.
