Mabrown Restaurant - Boroondara

A must visit if you are in town. They serve the spicy and non spicy quail. Better to eat with rice and chinese tea. Will definitely come back when I visit Melbourne again

Its a chinese restaurant that serve the best fried chilli quails that I ever had. The meat is so tender and juicy. I have never been fan of quails but this one is a must things for you to try. Other food is just ok...More

Surprisingly, this place did live up to the hype about its quail dishes! Love their quails! I got there just before they opened for the evening, and by 5 minutes past opening time, the place was packed to rafters - all Asians, saying so much for what they have to offer! We did order other dishes for a party of 4, to accompany the quails (done 2 ways - one spicy, the other not). All 4 of dived into the quails and were pretty soon licking our fingers! We considered ordering more - but sanity took over from gluttony! They do not serve alcoholic drinks but they are licensed for BYO and luckily, there is a bottleshop just across the road!

I know lots lots review for the parent restaurant condemned the service of not just staff but this unpleasant boss lady. For me, I am here for just the good quality food. I see her each time as transparent or non existence. I am here just to have a good meal, a good feast. Having been here to wine n dine for for than 10 years. I don't even feel offended time n again when good service or service was not rendered to me.Having been away for past 4 months holidaying in Europe & Asia. I decided to bring my overseas visitors here. Boy or boy, the good foods is still so good. The spicy quails are to die for, so good that you noticed every table would have them on their table. I noticed several tables had more than a quail to themselves .... it's so satisfying, the way they marinated the quails are simply irresistible. Next came, king crabs with noodles. It's so tasty despite no use of MSG. I was hoping they had lobsters but no luck as all lobsters were too big. Being big means the lobster meat isn't that good.The duck was very good too. Long beans & seafood stuff bean curd n egg plants were 9/10. So, if u are here. PLEASE Stop fussing around about service. After all, it's good awesome food that we care. If u are after service, go to Flower Drum & pay 5 times or more n even their cuisine n the way they deliver dishes on your table won't be as tasty as Mabrown.Long Live Mabrown. Keep those Quails coming ... loving it too much.

Ordered Lemon grass tofu ($10.50).. while food was good, quantity was shocking.. gave me less than half filled bowl of salad and terrible customer service!! won't ever go there again. There are plenty of other good options to choose from nearby.
