Delicious food with an extensive GF menu! Great prices, very careful with allergen consideration and overall a great place for a bite to eat pre-theatre or just for a nice meal at a casual dine in establishment!
TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets.

My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch.
The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance).
In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun.
The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down.
Always a pleasure to dine here.
Fantastic all round.
We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing.
My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken.
Can recommend the feed me option.
It's nice enough, though very crowded with the seating. I'm Coeliac and I only had 1 Entree option, 2 Main options and 1 desert option. I picked the Dahl, but to be honest, no better than what I get locally and far more expensive. Not somewhere I would pick.

REVIEW:
📖 I love Kiss & Tell's approach to affordable food. For $45pp, we got to pick 2 entrees, 2 mains and a side dish which turned out just to be the right amount of food for us!
When you can also pick what to get from the menu to make up the Tasting Selection, it's hard to go wrong (unless you pick things you don't like). 😅
❤️ My favourites from our selection:
1. Baked scallops. The Vietnamese cheese sauce was heavenly and added this savoury kick that I appreciated. It's a classic treat that always goes down well. 🧀
2. Green curry chicken. The fried kale was an excellent addition to the dish that added an amazing savouriness and texture. Fried kale is my kryptonite and it elevated this dish to drool-worthy heights. ☘️
3. Coconut rice. It's a simple thing but incredible when restaurants go the extra mile to drown the coconut rice in coconut milk and give it the royal treatment it deserves. 🤍
Big love to the kitchen for the amazing food we had that night!
My friend is gluten free. The food we had didn't detract from my experience at all. I can see why Kiss & Tell were so popular on a Friday night - it was packed to the rafters by the time I left!
Bookings HIGHLY encouraged. ⭐
Service lost points on being unable to manage my water levels.
I never got a refill on my water cup (sad) and would've appreciated a carafe if my water wasn't going to be topped up throughout the night. 🌧️
Other than that, we found that our food came out in a pretty timely manner! No complaints here. 👍
Delicious Korean BBQ experience. Meat quality was superb and service was excellent. My partner is coeliac and they took such a good care we had the best experience. Highly recommended
Celiac friendly
