About Kim Wah Chinese Restaurant

Kim Wah delivers comforting, hot Australian-Chinese dining for highway travelers pulling off the Hume and Benalla locals alike. The dining room keeps the charm of a classic country-town fixture, complete with linen tablecloths and panda chopstick rests. In the wok, they dial in solid wok hei across generous plates of honey and black pepper beef, crisp dim sims, and fluffy prawn omelettes. Diners praise the floor team's warm pace, and the kitchen readily customizes dishes off-menu, turning out vegetarian mapo tofu or adapting banquets on request.

  • Old-School Dining Room: Crisply set tables with traditional linens and playful panda chopstick holders retain the easygoing warmth of classic regional dining.
  • Flexible Kitchen Requests: Chefs willingly adapt dishes on request, including crafting off-menu vegetarian mapo tofu and tailoring banquet selections.
  • Value Lunch Specials: Midday specials pair generous mains like black pepper beef or szechuan chicken with rice for an easy highway pit stop.
