Kim Sing

Seen Kim Sing raved about for its cheap, affordable chicken steak at $12.50. I ordered the chicken steak with salad and, overall, it was very average. The coating was quite thick while the chicken itself was very thin, so each bite felt like I was mostly eating batter. I understand it is $12.50, but when you are coming here purely for a value, cheap meal, it does make you question whether it is actually good value when the quality of the produce reflects the price. That being said, the rice was cooked well. The vegetables were a bit undercooked, but they were still carried by the sauces overall. I can see the appeal and why people like it, especially if you do not eat Chinese food often. But for me, when comparing value-style pricing versus the quality you get, I would rather not put just random ingredients.

Nice little Chinese restaurant. Dishes are cheap and decent serves. Made fresh and delivered to your table. Has a grotty street food appeal which will appeal to most. Service was prompt and efficient. Recommended.

I reckon it’s some of the best value in melb. I always get the fried chicken steak with veg plus some dim sum and it always slaps( I already atr some of the chicken before this photo btw)

Over 2% in card surcharge, service was fast but most tables were uncleaned even though it was empty. Food portion for the price is good, my soup however was bland.

I’ve known this place for over 10 years, even back when they were in their previous location. I’ve always come back for their tasty and affordable meals, especially the chicken steak. However, during my dine-in visit yesterday (12/02/26), I had a disappointing experience. A staff member (a lady wearing a blue shirt, possibly with glasses) raised her voice at me regarding the table number. I honestly didn’t understand what she was saying, as they usually either give a table number or already know where the food will go. The interaction felt rude and unnecessary. On top of that, the food quality was not great this time. The rice looked burned or like leftovers, so I couldn’t finish it, and the vegetables were soggy and not fresh. The chicken was still good, though. Overall, I was disappointed with this visit. Will probably not come back. Tip: I’d recommend going to the Swanston branch instead

Wide variety of dishes on offer and very good price at that. Probably one of the cheapest eateries in town. Got the wonton noodle, the veggie is cooked but not mushy retaining its flavour, the portion is generous, the dish looks quite appetising but the broth is quite flavourless. But to be honest, most wonton noodles in Melbourne are like that, so Kim Sing would be about the same as the mass. Won’t be missing this.

Tasty, large portions, affordable and fast service. The honey chicken + chicken steak with egg fried rice was delicious! Will definitely be back

Food here is average. It’s not good, but it’s not bad either. The servers/owners are nice. The food is cheap and serving portion is good. But there’s really nothing much to it. We got the porkchop, chicken chop, and dumplings. Most were pretty bland and needed extra condiments. The atmosphere felt like a local cafeteria from south east asian countries which was nice to get in Melbourne.
