Ton V Had to try this place, having had a lot of seafood boils in North America! This one came close! Flavourwise the sauces were on point, especially the Cajun and Shabang one, the latter with lots of garlic. The scale of spicyness needs some adjusting; the Medium sauce is rather mild, so if you like spicy, go for the XXX. We had a mix of all seafoods, the (Boston) lobster was rather small, and everything was steamed/boiled well, but the baby octopus was a bit under. The deepfried sides (sweet potato, fish&chips, calamari were really nice. The Gumbo was generous and best value for money. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner, but we felt prices of the menu items were high, we spent nearly $300 with 4 adults and 1 kid (and a baby).

Minh Tuong Late night hot pot that opens til 2am!!!! I love the vibe here, looking like a street restaurant in China. Can choose 2 soup base hot pot with endless options of dishes in the menu!! from meat, seafood to veggies, and side dishes as well. And of course, it’s more than perfect to finish the hot pot feast with bingsu and homemade drinks!! Highly recommend if you’re craving hot pot :)

zozo lu Amazing Cantonese food in Melbourne! The Taishan eel fried rice is packed with whole eels and super flavorful. Loved the golden soup fish with Red San Dao – so fresh and tender. The abalone chicken pot and Shunde crispy pork are also must-try dishes. Perfect spot for family gatherings or hosting friends. Highly recommend!

Haiyan Yang Absolutely blown away! The uni bowl was insanely generous—overflowing with fresh sashimi, creamy sea urchin, and giant prawn tempura. Super fresh, super photogenic. Cocktails were fun and well-crafted, and the uni-themed details everywhere made the experience extra memorable. A must-visit for uni lovers!

Wen Dai Great place for a late-night hotpot. The beef is very fresh and the food is delicious. Highly recommend!

wentian wang Great value for money and a really satisfying meal. The buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, and I was especially happy to see my favorites like crayfish and Mao Xue Wang. I have to give a special mention to the grilled fish — the chopped chili flavor was absolutely amazing and so addictive that I couldn’t stop eating. The best part is you can keep adding vegetables into the tray and continue enjoying it, which makes it even better. If you’re a fan of grilled fish, this is definitely something you shouldn’t miss!

Michael Larman Soul Garden Karen BBQ delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish, making it a venue we would happily recommend to families and groups alike. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a welcoming, clean, and well-organised space that caters to all ages. The food quality was a real highlight. Everything was exceptionally fresh, well presented, and offered a great variety, ensuring there was something to suit everyone’s taste. The BBQ ingredients were easy to prepare and cook, and the equipment provided was modern, user-friendly, and clearly well maintained. Even those who are not confident with BBQ cooking would find the setup simple and enjoyable to use. What truly set this experience apart was how family-friendly the venue is. The kids absolutely loved being involved in the cooking process, which made the meal both interactive and fun. The variety of food options kept them engaged and excited, turning what could have been a standard meal into a memorable activity for them. It’s refreshing to find a place that genuinely considers the experience of younger guests while still maintaining a professional and relaxed atmosphere for adults. Cleanliness throughout the venue was excellent. The cooking areas, seating, and shared spaces were all spotless, which added to the overall comfort and peace of mind during our visit. Staff have clearly made hygiene and presentation a priority. A unique and thoughtful feature is the outdoor bubble dining option. These heated, enclosed bubbles allow guests to comfortably enjoy the outdoor setting even on colder days, adding a special touch to the experience and making it suitable year-round. Overall, Soul Garden Karen BBQ combines fresh food, ease of use, family-friendly fun, and a clean, innovative setting to create a truly enjoyable dining experience.

Clement Tea Came from Singapore for a vacation here, and happened to drop by to have lunch. Very nice food, even for someone like me who doesnt eat spicy food (there are some non spicy options) like the fried chicken and soup. Very attentive staff too and relatively quick serve. Would love to come back if I ever find myself in the vicinity again.
