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!

Amazing tasting food with plenty of coeliac safe gluten free options. I could even grab sushi from the sushi train, which was amazing! The soy sauce was even gluten free! Lovely staff too.

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.

Nice spot, tight and cosy with pretty of good options across the menu (including for those who are GF/Celiac like myself). Can be a bit loud considering the reasonably small space but no big deal

What an amazing find! Food was well prepared with incredible service! Restaurant offers different tasting options, which I highly recommend. They are very accommodating for allergies as well. Chef easily worked around a gluten issue for us.

Can only comment on delivered catering however the communication from the restaurant re providing gluten free options as requested was really appreciated. Our staff enjoyed a delicious choice of salmon and karaage chicken salads. Generous servings for our group and all plates/cutlery/chopsticks provided too. Will be visiting in person soon to enjoy again.

Handy place to eat if you’re heading to the Regent or Athaneum theatres. Great atmosphere. Emma looked after us beautifully. Plenty of gluten free options. Only one GF dessert but it was full of flavour.

Really lovely Indonesian restaurant. The staff here are so friendly, they were very patient and accommodating to all customers. The staff were knowledgeable about coeliac disease, so I felt safe eating here. Plenty of gluten free options! The food was delicious! Clean and a good atmosphere. Recommend!

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.

I am so glad I found this joint! A cool space with a good atmosphere and excellent customer service. If you’ve seen any of my food posts you’ll know I’m that person with a ridiculous food intolerance that is usually not considered. Here it was! They have a separate emu that lists the items open for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, fructose free, onion free and garlic and onion free! What? So good! My bloke and I shared a few dishes when eating out for the first time in… for ever! Delicious cabbage and pork dumplings, legit fried rice, crispy pork belly and eye fillet steak - we had sauces on the side for him to enjoy and me to avoid and both thoroughly enjoyed a top notch, tasty meal along with a couple of crisp and light rice lagers. I bought some of the yummy smelling teas to go. A first class experience. Thanks!

This was my favourite place we ate at in Melbourne. I ordered the hotpot bulgogi beef and it was so incredibly delicious. I think I will think about it and daydream about it for a long time. They also have a whole separate celiac menu!

ORDERED: Tasting Selection ($45.00pp) 🐟 Kingfish sashimi: ponzu yuzu, chilli oil, shallot 🦪 Baked scallops: on shell, Vietnamese potato cheese sauce 🥣 Green Chicken Curry: Bamboo, capsicum, zucchini, snake beans, fried kale 🐖 Crispy Pork Belly: Chinese celery, puffed rice, coriander, caramel soy sauce 🍚 Coconut rice We spent $51.77 each for 2 people, which included juice! 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. 👍

amazing for gluten free!

We enjoyed the set menu dining experience and enjoyed every mouthful. We were greeted with a tasty cocktail and then the food came out soon after. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and was catered for very well. Staff were efficient and friendly. Nice place for a romantic/ quiet meal away from the hustle & bustle of busy Melbourne.

I came for lunch on a work day, I asked for the gluten free menu but the waitress just pointed out a few menu items that were gluten free on the regular menu. I'm not sure if this is because they were busy, or because they don't have a gluten free menu anymore. I had the beef bulgolgi with gf soy sauce, which is a treat when eating out. good value lunch meal.

Delicious poke bowls that are filled with a great selection of yummy fresh ingredients that are nourishing and include great gluten free options.

Ryan Lange

Loved the gluten free Bento Box!

Used to eat here pre Covid. Standard has dropped a little unfortunately. Had lunch today (weekday) and food was very average - nasi goreng was quite bland and didn’t have enough spices. Would be nice if they had more gluten free options! Portion size is good though, at least I felt full afterwards. Service and ambience great for catching up with friends so it’s a good place for meetups.

Wonderful for coeliacs. Every care was taken to ensure my meal was safe. I had a poke bowl, and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I went with a work group and everyone enjoyed their meals. Upstairs room was also quiet. If I lived in Melbourne I would definitely be returning.
