Genuinely so good! 10-course menu is fantastic - you don’t need vegan to enjoy it, I’m not vegan and it was genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had!Every dish was so creatively presented, the whole place was really well styled and the people were lovely - no changes

Amazing food. The vegan degustation was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. Cant wait to go again!

I had a pleasant experience here. As a vegan, I found a good variety of dishes to explore, which was a pleasant surprise! 🌱 The atmosphere was inviting and the service was efficient. The meal timing, which lasted about 3 hours, felt a bit lengthy. I think a 2-hour dining experience would be more ideal. I'd also suggest adding spice indicators and serving hot dishes first. 🔥😋.

I'm always searching for a vegan dining experience in Melbourne and I'm already looking forward to another SHU visit. The unique style greets you on entry and the food is as creative as the décor. I was grateful for gentle background music which didn't interrupt our chat, unique dishes designed and prepared by owner chef SHU and our friendly and most helpful waiter Trent.

Excellent service, divine food and beautiful decor with great music. Also very reasonably priced

Suprise me with the dishes even I'm not a vegan or vegetarian 👍 they know what they doing, but the cocktail is not my cup of tea 🤞

This was my first time trying vegan yum cha, and as a non-vegan, I went in feeling quite skeptical. But after trying ten different dishes, I was absolutely blown away!Every single dish was executed to a remarkably high standard and was incredibly creative. I was amazed at how they used unexpected ingredients to craft such delicious food.The sauces were perfectly balanced; every flavor profile hit the mark without any single note overpowering the rest. The vegetables were cooked to perfection as well, allowing you to experience a wonderful variety of textures within a single dish.This is easily in the top three vegan restaurants I’ve tried in Melbourne. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been but is curious to try. Even if you aren't vegan—just like me—the creativity and dedication they put into their food make it absolutely worth every penny.

The 10 course degustation with paired drinks is a magical ride...both my partner & l left feeling SO glad we went.The night we went it was all couples, nice vobe....looking around they all looked to savouring each dish (as we were).The spacing between dishes/drinks was perfect.Shu was serving us, & he is a total gem🌟Also it's such a cool luminous space.Absolutely recommend this place whether you are vegan or not ⚡⚡⚡

Vegan yum cha - must try! It was great and Shu is so lovely. Would love to try a degustation dinner one day. We will be back.

2026-04-03T22:41:21.052Z

Creative, unique, unforgettable

2026-03-22T04:29:47.268Z

10 courses was a great night out. Lovely flavours, good pacing and variety. Drinks were good too

Wonderful experience at Shu for their dégustation menu. And wine pairing. Something different which is difficult to find. Very friendly staff.

Came for the 10-course degustation last Friday and had the perfect evening. It was honestly the best meal out we’ve had in a long time. Special mention to the British servers who made the night extra special – fantastic service and incredible food.

Such a shame that a vegan restaurant can't keep its plants alive. Come on guys, even if you just remove the dead ones it will help

We went for Yum Cha. Food was ok. Some things were super yummy but others were a bit bland. Service was slow and inflexible. You had to have all of the menu in order before you were allowed to order anything else. And it took well over an hour for the first run through the menu. After a quick start we waited nearly half an hour for our third plate and were starving by then. Drink service was also slow

We were very excited to find this place last minute as Vegans visiting Melbourne. Amazing service and atmosphere. Food was interesting and presented so well - stand out dish was the taro balls and dessert for me.

2026-01-26T11:41:18.700Z

Amazing Gluten Free and Vegan food. And great unique and cute atmosphere too. Will be back!

2026-01-21T01:17:26.104Z

We had our daughter’s birthday here, were thoroughly impressed with the all vegan food that was beautifully presented, interesting interior & deco. We were greeted with a refreshing cool drink upon entering.Shu was very nice to explain the dishes himself and provided gluten free alternative.So good to have a Vegan high quality eatery in Melbourne!When we want to impress someone, this is the place to take them to!

By far the best vegan restaurant in Melbourne. A must try for vegans and non-vegans! The food is impeccable every time. Creative dishes, beautiful restaurant, attentive and friendly staff, amazing cocktails, and just an all-round wonderful experience without fail. The yum cha is outstanding value and always includes mouthwatering, innovative cuisine that will have you wanting more (although I suggest going hungry because they will serve you until you're full). The degustation is delectable, again with very interesting courses that you will not find anywhere else. I've been for several meals at Shu and can't recommend it highly enough. I feel privileged to have such an amazing restaurant in my neighbourhood. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a meal at Shu, you won't be disappointed. 10/10 every time!

We showed up late to one of their AYCE yum cha sittings, but it wasn’t super busy so the server/chef kindly sat us, and served us an amazing meal! We enjoyed it so much!

Absolutely outstanding food, service and ambience. We had the 10 course degustation. Although it was served over 3 hours, the experience, flavour balance and combinations and creative flair in the dishes were outstanding. Would definitely recommend this vibrant food experience to anyone who loves an exotic array of combinations, textures, flavours and can handle some heat (around 4 dishes had some good chilli/szechuan spice).
