Ants Bistro, located just off Little Bourke Street in Melbourne's Chinatown, offers a pan-Chinese menu with an emphasis on northern and Szechuan cuisine. Despite being tucked away in Corr's Lane, the food at Ants Bistro is great and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is BYO wine only and the menu indicates the level of heat in each dish. Dishes like spring onion pancake, beef dumplings, spicy pork ribs, Szechuan duck, and ants climbing trees are all highly recommended. The atmosphere and decor may not be exceptional, but the service is efficient. With generous serving sizes and decent pricing, Ants Bistro is a hidden gem for delicious Asian food in Melbourne's Chinatown.

Was Pamela Ledner at Ants Bistro Melbourne Cbd a mag?
Have been dining here for about 3 years. Spring onion cake and dumplings are delicious. Maria and Stephen could not be more helpful with our selection of dishes as one of our party has food allergies. Now each time we arrive we just let them decide which dishes he can eat and we all share. Very well priced and friendly efficient service. We come here 3 or 4 times a year and do not bother looking elsewhere in Chinatow... View all feedback.

What Rita M dislikes about Ants Bistro Melbourne Cbd:
The restaurant was hosting a private party upstairs, which seemed to distract the staff. Our meals were served one by one, causing one of us to finish before the others even received their food. This seemed to be a common occurrence, based on other reviews. Although the food was good, the incredibly slow service left us unsatisfied. If we hadn't already paid, we would have requested a refund, as there were no apologi... View all feedback.

We happened upon this restaurant near Little Bourke Street with a wide-ranging menu offering great value Chinese dishes. We particularly enjoyed the San Chow Boa, however, the duck pancakes were a bit of a letdown. The service was attentive.

The food at this restaurant was mediocre at best. We ordered vegetable dumplings, vegetable spring rolls, and a honey pepper steak that lacked flavor. The vegetable fried rice was also disappointing. The only dish that was decent was the chicken kung po. The service was slow and we had to ask multiple times for the rest of our meal and rice. We even had to remind them of what we were waiting for. We also had trouble getting basic condiments like chili oil and were given a cracked and leaking bottle of soy sauce. The cleanliness of the bathroom made us question the state of the kitchen. Overall, our dining experience was very disappointing and expensive, costing $111 for three people. We will not be returning and suggest avoiding this restaurant in favor of other options nearby.
