Best Known For

Double smoked duck marinated then roasted with pine & tea leaves, fried until crispy & served with special Chinese bun; and Hong Kong style yum cha available daily.

Established for more than 20 years, Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant is something of an institution in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Spread over two levels, this East Doncaster restaurant is typically packed with diners tucking into authentic dishes from Canton & Beijing. Try their locally famed yum cha (served 12-3pm) or opt for the la carte menu, which offers a staggering variety of dishes including seafood fresh from the tank. Dine-in dishes, as in pan fried salmon or rockling fillets stuffed with prawn pate served with ginger, shallots & a light soya sauce, show off a few tastes from a plethora of Tai Pan's many sensations. A worthwhile habit to get into is stopping by their special roast counter where you can pick up roast duck, crackling pork & the likes to take away.
