Absolutely loved this BBQ place! The skewers were perfectly grilled — juicy, flavorful, and not too greasy at all. The seasoning was spot on and everything came out fresh and hot. We also tried the grilled eggplant and mushrooms, and they were amazing too. The staff were super friendly and the service was quick. The restaurant was clean and had a great vibe. Great value for money — I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Amazing BBQ experience at Dragon BBQ Bar! The vibe here is fantastic—cool decor and perfect for hanging out. We started with the steamed buns, which were incredibly fluffy, and a refreshing cold salad that perfectly balanced the spice. The highlight, of course, was the skewers. Everything from the grilled squid and sausages to the seasoned meats was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char and spice. You can really taste the authentic charcoal flavor! Excellent service and high-quality food. If you're looking for a top-tier BBQ spot, this is it. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved this new Chinese BBQ spot on Swanston Street! We tried a great mix of skewers and grilled dishes, and everything was full of flavour. The Grilled Beef Bone Marrow was the clear highlight — rich, buttery, and perfectly seasoned — one of the best I’ve had in Melbourne. The Fried Pork Ribs were another standout: juicy, crispy on the outside and super tender inside. Other skewers like the House Special Beef and Lamb, Spicy Pork Belly, and Grilled Chives were also delicious — smoky, authentic, and cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were generous and the menu has a great range of both classic and adventurous options (even pork skin and intestines for the daring!). Service was quick and friendly, and the vibe is casual but vibrant — perfect for a late-night meal or dinner catch-up. Definitely a new go-to for proper Chinese BBQ in the city!
