About Jufu Garden

Jufu Garden delivers punchy Northern Chinese and Sichuan heat alongside massive, low-fuss comfort plates. Forget fancy decor—this unpretentious dining room trades in sizzling cumin lamb ribs, crisp chilli chicken, and bubbling mapo tofu with proper mala spice. Diners know to request the regional Chinese menu for traditional dishes rarely found outside Melbourne. Servings arrive piled high, easily feeding a crowd with enough left over for takeaway boxes.

  • Oversized Regional Plates: Crisp chilli chicken and fried lamb ribs with cumin arrive in massive portions primed for takeaway boxes.
  • Dedicated Regional Menu: Alongside classic western favorites, ask for the separate Chinese menu for northern specialties and Sichuan standards.
