About Ginseng Modern Asian Cuisine

A Frankston stalwart along the Nepean Highway, Ginseng nails Cantonese banqueting with crisp roast duck, sizzling Mongolian lamb, and attentive floor care. Longtime regulars pack the room for family milestones, leaning on round tables and a kitchen quick to adjust spice heat for toddlers or cater safely to gluten-free diners. Between shared courses, staff quietly reset your place setting with fresh, piping-hot plates before the next platter arrives. Meals unfold naturally from crisp san choy bao to tender Peking duck pancakes wrapped with hoisin.

  • Hot Plate Resets: Staff swap out used dishware for clean, heated plates between banquet courses.
  • Dietary Flexibility: The kitchen easily navigates dietary requests and tempers heat levels for young diners.
  • Family Milestones: Spacious round tables accommodate large family gatherings, complete with shared platters like sizzling Mongolian lamb and roast duck.
