GoGo Bar

Our favourite surprise! The side alleyway entrance was intriguing so we went in. Amazing food and cocktails! The service was even better, Paul was highly knowledgeable and offered A+ service! Will definitely return with more amigas ❤

I love this place. Came with a friend and ordered 2 desserts which were delicious, and a cocktail which was very interesting. Service was great, the staff serving me was so friendly and funny 🫶🏻

It's not often I go bar hopping in Melbourne however I came across this extension of Chin Chin, loved the name and theme of the business so decided to check it out. Entered via the alleyway which wasn't manned so approached the bar ourselves, showed our vax status and was seated up the back.

They have a large variety of alcoholic options, and a few cocktail recipes as well. Staff were prompt to take our orders and we were given water whilst we waiting. The payment terminal offered us to tip the staff which I'm unsure about however overall a nice experience.

Best food and drinks. One of my favorite hidden bars in Melbourne

Delicious food served quickly. Extensive drinks menu to choose from. Accompanied by a chill DJ set. A great place to stumble upon.

Very cool bar, creative and delicious cocktails, good vibe and great service.

I've been here for drinks a few times before, pre and post covid and I think they have gotten better, I had cocktails and light meals on an early Saturday evening, seated in the lounge areas across from the booths, close to the entrance. We were walk in's and got seated and served immediately. The staff were so lovely and accommodating (especially the Asian gentlemen) and very attentive for everything we needed. The food was very good, and that's alot coming from me, who is quite tired of the oversaturation of asian inspired/ mod asian etc. ie: Sunda (love Aru though), Supernormal, HochiMama, Long grain, Lucy Liu Tonka, The George etc etc. I especially loved the brocollini and mushrooms were a hightlight as were the chicken ribs which I thought had a delish tamarind sauce, but the menu said sweet fish sauce.

Go Go, is always a fantastic place to go for a drink or even dinner, staff are always friendly, go above and beyond and knowledgeable about their drinks and food menus.

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the delicious food and see people standing around with fantastic cocktails, great space to sit in a booth or just by the bar, It’s not pretentious at all, but still super cool and inviting.

It’s has great ambience and little seating area, to sit and talk to girlfriends or go on a date. I’ll continue coming here and have been for years and always recommend people.

I love this place!

A funky joint for any occasion; date, birthday, glad to be alive...

This place has a cocktail to tailor the occasion.

Let the bar staff guide your way, they haven't steered me wrong yet!

I'll see you there 😉

This food is very good, although it is a little bit pricy. I definitely recommend the coconut rice and BBQ Lamb with eggplant. They were delicious!!! If I lived in Melbourne I would definitely come back to this place because it is so good. The service and staff is lovely and very efficient. The staff knew the dishes very well and were very polite. They explained the dishes very well and were very attentive. They checked on any food allergies or dietary requirements we had without us even having to ask !

Amazing cocktails but the staff made the visit! Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and offered service beyond what we expected. There is nothing better than bar staff who know their job and can guide you through the very extensive meny with ease. Highly recommended for a drink before some amazing food upstairs at Chin Chin!

A funky, arty Asian restaurant (and bar) that sums up Melbourne. Has food that will leave you dazzled, and wanting more. Not low priced.

Pros:
Very good customer service. Note, and surprise: the waiters/waitresses work for tips.
Food (I had the 'dry curry soft shelled crab') was unlike anything I've tried. It was weird in a good way... I think.
Atmosphere was very lively. "Busy".

Cons:
Can get busy, so expect to wait to be seated.

After hearing so many good reviews about Chin Chin I have tried to dine there a few times, but the wait has always been in excess of 40 minutes. On this occasion we were lucky enough to be seated immediately and weren't disappointed. With such a wonderful menu we decided to ask our waitress to pick for us and were delighted with the choices. The food was melt in the mouth delicious and incredibly moorish. I loved the relaxed dining atmosphere and sitting in front of the dessert chefs watching them work. We paid about $130 for three dishes, two desserts and a cocktail jug. I would highly recommend Chin Chin and will be going back as soon as I get chance.

I have never had a bad dish, even when I let my husband choose something that sounds boring it turns out to be amazing - the red curry salmon for instance. The cocktails are interesting and taste great. I always go at odd times so have never had to wait, which is a huge brag in Melbourne.

Great Asian food. Had "Build your own spring rolls" as a starter - genius idea and tasted phenomenal. Busy place though - we got there at 5:30pm and had no problem getting a table, people coming in later had a much longer wait. Very cool vibe - can't recommend enough.

Every dish was really good. Nice atmosphere inside. Good music but not too loud, so you could still have conversations. Our server (Sarah) was helpful in selecting our dishes:
- Do it yourself springrolls
- Pad Thai
- Pad seeyu
- Massaman curry
- Beef short rib (smaller than expected but delicious)

Note that the 'a bit more' category does not imply more food than the other categories.

Expect a very long wait on a Friday/Saturday night, if you can even get in; consider showing up early.

If you're going to dine here I've got 2 main pieces of advice:
1. Sit at one of the bars. The staff are super friendly and great conversation.
2. Order the 'feed me' option. It borders on almost too much food and the selection is excellent.
Ensure you try something from the cocktail menu too, some interesting creations.

Ventured here for lunch one weekday, which I think was a great move as dinner wait times can be huge.

The take on food here is truly amazing. Modern twists on traditional asian dishes, as well as typical favs.

Certainly recommend this place to anyone after a truly great dining experience.

We did the "Feed Me!" ... Best choice I've ever made. Everyone is stuffed. The food was absolutely perfect. Well cook, great portions, excellent for sharing. Beautiful flavours. Meats, greens, spices, rice/roti, desert! I honestly am so full, but just cant stop picking at the plate. It's too good. I will be back!

Arrived: 4pm on Easter Saturday. Place was packed. Left our number for a 30min wait. Waited down stairs at GoGo bar for max 10min while waiting for a call for our reservation.
Went up stairs with our drinks, had our bar tab transfered (so easy!) And canceled our down stairs meal and began an upstairs meal. Perfect staff everywhere.

The dry curry soft shell crab is my favourite dish. Always go for the dishes that are unique to Chin Chin - any conventional dishes that I've had there (e.g. fried calamari) have not tasted as flavoursome / not been as satisfying.

Yes it can be a long wait so go early and leave your number or opt for sitting at the bar if there are spaces available. Otherwise, some options are:
- Eat at the Go Go Bar downstairs
- Get takeaway

The feed me option is really good value and they choose good dishes.
