Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in Arthurs Seat

Initially, we booked lunch at Many Little due to the very Gluten Intolerant menu. That’s often a decision that means compromising on quality of food…but we were so happy to find that’s not the case at Many Little!! The food was fantastic! Beautifully presented and more important, beautifully flavoured. The meals were well proportioned and great value for money (given the quality). Staff were friendly and helpful and added to an overall fantastic experience. We will definitely be back when we next visit Red Hill.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ My partner and I booked dinner at Disuko Melbourne CBD on Thursday night for her main birthday dinner, and overall, we had a really enjoyable experience. Located in the heart of Melbourne, toward the Parliament Station end of Bourke Street, Disuko is a bit of a hidden gem tucked away on the third floor. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The restaurant/bar/omakase space has a dim, moody aesthetic that feels really pleasant and sets the tone for the evening. There were a couple of minor inconveniences to start with. Street parking is limited, although there are plenty of paid parking options nearby, which is pretty much expected when driving into the CBD. Unfortunately, the elevator was also out of order on the night, so my partner had to tackle three flights of stairs in heels — definitely not how she wanted to start her birthday dinner! 😂 But as they say, it’s not about how you start, it’s how you finish… and Disuko definitely finished strong. We absolutely love Japanese food, so we went a little extra with the starters and ordered quite a bit to share. We had the Hiramasa, Crispy Spicy Tuna Bites (4pc) x2, Dragon Roll x2 and Scallop Taco (2pc). Honestly, the starters were easily the highlight of our night. The Crispy Spicy Tuna Bites were exquisitely delicious — full of flavour, fresh and incredibly moreish. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered two serves! The Dragon Roll was also genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had. It was made fresh to order, the ingredients tasted incredibly high quality, and you could really tell there was care put into the dish. The real game-changer for me was the smoked Japanese mayo. Creamy, smoky and packed with umami, it added such a unique flavour that made this Dragon Roll stand out from others I’ve tried. It was seriously addictive, and because we enjoyed it so much, we ordered two serves of this as well.

Chin Chin is absolutely fantastic! The service was excellent, and the food was superb. Everything came together to make it a very special and thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. We had such a wonderful time! ❤️

Nicest and most accommodating staff. Gave excellent recommendations but also listened attentively to our preferences.

Great food, great atmosphere, good value and beautiful people looking after us.
