Little Jiang Nan

Recommended by family of this Shanghainese restaurant. No fancy decor but very authentic dishes. Friendly and warm service.

the decor is like grandma’s house I like all the dishes that we order, came out fast. The restaurant was quite empty on a weekday but the food didn’t disappoint at all.

I come from Nanjing. The food taste makes me wanna cry, it lets me think of my mom. It’s my hometown taste!

A delightful surprise! The food, the service and the exterior all felt like I've stepped into a traditional local restaraunt in Jiangnan, it's one of the most unique and tastiest Chinese meals I've had in Melbourne in a long time. Reading the other comments I was a little worried, but the 2 waiters that served us were so friendly, warm and informative about all the perfectly executed authentic dishes. Typical northern China style of down to earth, matelike and friendly kind of hospitality service. Some of the dishes were on the pricier side, but given how the dishes were so unique, authentic, high quality, well executed and presented, hard to find at other Chinese restaurants and just so incredibly delicious (I'm still reminiscing that stinky tofu and the dish in the photos 2 days later) it's worth the price tag. I would have normally taken more photos but my whole family was too caught up enjoying everything. Can't wait to bring more friends and family back! (The white things in the photo is a type of handmade flat noodle, it was perfect with the stew chicken, a definate reorder for me next time!)

The light and refreshing Nanjing cuisine feels like being back in Nanjing.

ordered the beef w cumin and spices, beef was tender and flavoursome. the tastes of the spices complimented the beef without overpowering. it shows as 2 chillies for the degree of spiciness but was not as apicy aa i thought it will be. Also ordered the fried tofu which was recommended by the waitress and i loved it. the salt and spicy and crispy tofu skin burst w the juice from the moist centre. Outdoor seatings look really nice for group gathering. Was a pleasant surprise to have discovered this restaurant. it is quite hidden behind the straw fences.

Found this restaurant from Google. Decided to try. When reached restaurant, it was empty. And door was closed. So we got it was closed. Then someone who is service staff in side. Opened the door. We are the only customers for lunch today. It made us feel a bit weird. Then we ordered 2 dishes. It tastes great. We love it. Service auntie seems very new. Overall, it was good.
