About Pacific Seafood BBQ House South Yarra

This loud Toorak Road institution delivers genuine Hong Kong-style barbecue and tank-fresh seafood without the boutique fuss. Regulars pack the tight tables for roast duck with crisp skin and rich meat, or live barramundi brought straight from the tanks and steamed with ginger and scallion. Service moves briskly, keeping communal tables supplied with bubbling beef hotpots, salted egg yolk ribs, and plates of crispy roast pork. Cash payments shave a little off the bill at the front counter.

  • Cantonese Barbecue Benchmarks: Crispy-skinned roast duck and tender roast pork anchor the kitchen's traditional Cantonese barbecue lineup.
  • Tank-Fresh Seafood: Live tanks supply fresh seafood like barramundi steamed with ginger and scallion or crab tossed with noodles.
  • High-Energy Group Dining: Large communal tables turn over quickly in a bustling, energetic room built for shared feasts.
  • Cash Payment Perk: Settling the bill with cash at the register earns diners a straightforward percentage discount.

  • Live Tank Seafood Cooked to Order

    Diners enjoy choosing live barramundi directly from the restaurant's live holding tanks, presented prior to being steamed fresh to order.

    it is soooo fresh as it is one of the options straight out of the tank, they even introduce you to it before cooking
