Oriental Teahouse

Our founding restaurant opened 10 years ago on buzzing Chapel Street in South Yarra.

At Oriental Teahouse, we blur the lines between Chinese tradition and the Melbourne contemporary dining experience to create the ultimate Modern Chinese experience. David Zhou started Oriental Teahouse as a small tea shop on Chapel Street in 1993. The business has since flourished into one of Melbourne's go-to Yum Cha destinations, with 2 premiere locations as well as Zhou Zhou bar above Chapel S
