27/10/2014: The owners of Chan House convey opened a novel concern inward Doncaster East, see comment below.

18/09/2013: Chan House appears to convey changed hands, encounter this update on Vegan Bullsh*t.

The Melbourne veg grapevine works fast - inside a few days of Chan House opening, give-and-take had spread across twitter together with facebook that Melbourne had approximately other vegetarian venue. So when Cindy together with I works life ourselves amongst a Mon off together with looking for tiffin on our means to the Tim Burton exhibition at ACMI, it seemed similar the perfect chance for us to banking venture stand upward for it out.

It's a lilliputian shop-front inward a pocket-size nutrient courtroom off Little Collins Street, amongst a handful of tables shared betwixt 4 or v places. The daily options are pretty express - aside from approximately steam buns together with a noodle soup, Cindy together with I managed to sample the whole bill of fare betwixt us.

I got inward outset together with ordered the 2 virtually delicious dishes: tofu inward dark edible bean sauce together with curry vegetables. Both were tasty - the curry had a mild kick, but could convey used approximately vegies other than the dominating cabbagey bits. The tofu dark edible bean was likely the pick - sweetness together with rich amongst approximately mild chilli together with ginger notes.

Cindy got stuck amongst the mixed vegie dish, which was pretty measure fare. On the upside, she too snagged the mistaken ribs: crispy fried chunks of mistaken meat amongst crunchy noodles together with heaps of cherry-red chilli. These were pretty great, but a lilliputian on the dry out side (which nosotros rectified past times dunking it inward the leftover sauce on my plate).

The nutrient is inexpensive - 2 hot dishes together with rice for $6.80, together with the hot-box offerings alter daily. For urban meat workers looking for a inexpensive together with tasty lunch, Chan House volition hitting the spot, but there's aught hither that you'd go out of your means to sample.
