This place is buzzing. you need to booke ahead because they are always busy. Once there the selection of food is fantastic especially if you are planning to share plates. The tastes are unique and you just want to try everything! Good service, friendly staff. Atmosphere is exciting - like you have entered another world ie South East Asia!! More

This was recommended so I was looking forward to eating here. Whilst the food was fresh and tasty I thought it was expensive for what it was - I am more than happy to pay to eat out but I felt a little ripped of. More

I must admit I was a little disappointed on my last visit. There were 4 of us and we opted for the set Menu which was plentiful and tasty, except perhaps for the whole eggs which were difficult to eat. However it was the fact that the various dishes came in such rapid succession that took the gloss off the... More

Gingerboy is a Melbourne star for a special dinner and I can't believe I just read "Gingerboy needs to lift it's game" in a previous review! I've been there 3 times, as a pair, for a birthday dinner and a (classy) Hen's night dinner. Each time the food was glorious, the service irreproachable and the ambience bright and buzzing. Tips:...

Went for lunch with colleagues and had a selection of the sharing plates. The food was excellent. Asian themed certainly, but not from one particular style. Presentation was great and each selection was explained to us but the attentive and knowledgeable wait staff. this is well worth the effort and I will be returning. More
