    The name Cho Gao singifies "rice market" and refers to the most important nutritional component in the Asian world.

    When you enter Cho Gao you are taken on an experience of adventure. It's all about the mix of authentic and contemporary.but particularly about details. The atmosphere is honest and modest and the furniture is simple and rich with traditional. All interior pieces are in a worn Asian style and feature 70 year

    old recycled materials.

    The restaurant is built as one harmonious entity, a single space with different zones. The four private dining areas make up the man space of Cho Gao ideal for staff Christmas parties. Birthday parties, launches, business meetings or a casual drink at the bar after work. With Melbourne as the home to the world is

    first Cha Gao this is truly a unique experience bringing together a rich atmosphere, style and culture.

    Spectacular views from the balcony of the State Library, gorgeous yet minimalistic private rooms and the 20 meter long bar make this space the next hot city destination.

    Go with your first instinct, if there's too many signs for almost endorsing cheap food, don't do it. Stood at the bar for 10mins waiting to get served to be ripped off for food and drinks. Service...

    Loved it. Great bar with a huge variety of beer on tap. The food was great, lots to choose from at a reasonable price. Love the BIG balcony. We always have a ball here.

      Go with your first instinct, if there's too many signs for almost endorsing cheap food, don't do it. Stood at the bar for 10mins waiting to get served to be ripped off for food and drinks. Service is slow and had music blasting on a tuesday night during dinner service.   (Klyde - April, 2011)

      Wouldn't go back there again - bad service from bar staff and not-so-tasty so-call 'Asian Cuisine'. Drinks aren't that cheap either.   (Luke - November, 2009)

    • Overall 6.5 - Food 6, Ambience 5, Value 8, Service 7

      The wait staff tried really hard but the food was a bit too exotic for Asian cuisine and very noisy in the dining area ie difficult to hear each other.   (Anonymous - See my reviews (64) - September, 2008)

    • Overall 7 - Food 5, Ambience 9, Value 5, Service 9

      Service was friendly, but the food was mediocre for its' price. One of the noodle mains had too much salt/soy sauce that made the dish almost unpalatable. The desert of banana fritter and ice cream was far to expensive for the portion received. I would only go back if they had good deals going.

      The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly.   (See my reviews (3) - August, 2008)

      the sharing plates are a good idea   (See my reviews (7) - February, 2008)

    • Overall 4.8 - Food 7, Ambience 9, Value 2, Service 1

      Service was ridiculously bad. Food was good but far to expensive relative to the size of the portions. Ultimately, I would not go back again due to the worst service I have experienced in a long time   (rocket - January, 2008)

      definitely will be back - check out the verandah. Food pretty good but the bar was better!   (sw - January, 2008)
