Modern Cantonese cooking meets beachside hospitality at this family-run Mordialloc institution. Spanning three generations, the dining room balances relaxed bayside energy with attentive floor service and tableside visits from the kitchen team. Diners frequently steer toward Mama's Table—a flexible sharing banquet where groups pick their own lineup of entrees, mains, and sides. The wok fires show their range across hot plates of sizzling XO king prawns, black pepper Angus beef with snow peas, and blue swimmer crab dumplings crowned with salmon caviar. Plump salt and pepper squid leads off the meal, while desserts finish on house signatures like chocolate wontons alongside Bombe Alaska.
