We love the area and felt like Chinese food, we read the reviews and drove an hour to dine here. Well we weren’t disappointed, such a lovely warm welcome, fantastic customer service and wonderful food. Best Honey Chicken we have ever tasted. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for the lovely dining experience! :)

We traveled from albury NSW Nd stayed in williamstown. My wife wanted Chinese so we decided to eat dinner here. We found the food delicious and the table service spot on. There's always a waiter making sure that you are being attended to. It's rare these days to find customer service like this.

  • WM Lam

I was sceptical first about the "Chinese Australian food" tag but the enthusiastic staff and the long term local customers really make this place works. It is very old school with great atmosphere...it feels like being invited to a Chinese family for dinner. I had a great time with my friends.

  • Craig Lester

The food is good but not spectacular, however this is our local restaurant of choice. The staff are great and owner Frank will provide you with a memorable dining experience. Plenty of laughs and banter, and a big effort is put in for special occasions. Highly recommended.

  • Jay Jay

Not your traditional Chinese restaurant. Menu has been westernised and you will need to ask if you need chopsticks to just give you a hint on what to expect. But here, you will find the best customer service, it's a family business and you can tell they love what they do

Lion Dance Restaurant is a true gem in Williamstown! The dim sum platter and Peking duck were absolutely divine. Szechuan chili prawns packed a flavorful punch. Impeccable service and a warm ambiance make it a must-visit for any food lover. Can't wait to return! More

I haven't been here for maybe 15 years and didn't really know what to expect. To my delight, the food is still absolutely delectable. Honestly this is still one of the best Chinese restaurants around. It's a real treat to eat in. More

Williamstown is very lucky to have the best Chinese Restaurant in the West of Melbourne, delicious menu with regular and banquet options available, takeaway if dining in isn’t your thing. Friendly staff, and great menu pricing. More
