What Hallomega likes about Supper Inn:
Some friends and I had dinner here this week: a large and traditional Australian Chinese menu and fast and cheerful service. Located in a tiny side alley off Chinatown main road, and up an unassuming timber staircase, be prepared to find large crowds of (mainly Chinese) people enjoying a fast and furious meal. About $90.00 for three of us. View all feedback. What Alanna Hickle doesn't like about Supper Inn:
The food is great. Okay, that's out of the way. For a score 9/10. Now, let us move to service. **** disgraceful. Not a smile. No conversational greeting. Nothing. Frowns aplenty. And when our menu was pushed to the table with just a grunt, well. I cannot remember ever eating in a place with such an envied reputation, but little to no regard for customer service. The vibe was, umm, errr, cold. The cheek of asking if w... View all feedback.

Supper Inn, located in a hidden alleyway in Chinatown, may not impress with its appearance, but it is the food that draws people back time and time again. Despite some negative reviews about service, the quality of the food remains consistently great. The restaurant is always bustling, noisy, and crowded, but for those willing to overlook the basic decor and limited seating, a great meal awaits. Specializing in late-night dining, Supper Inn offers a wide range of delicious dishes at affordable prices. So, ignore the lackluster first impressions and dive in for a satisfying meal at this hidden gem in Melbourne's Chinatown.
