Salted Egg is a cosy yet lively space in the New York end of the Melbourne CBD, perfect for date nights, celebrations of all types or even just a place to hide away with some soul-nourishing food.

Salted Egg introduces a new collection of dishes that celebrate bold Southeast Asian flavours with premium Australian produce.

From char-grilled seafood layered with Malaysian style sambal and bright citrus, to Thai classics reimagined with punchy balance, and premium wagyu finished with our signature salted egg umami – each dish is designed to surprise, satisfy and linger long after the last bite.

This is flavour with depth.
Texture with intention.
Heat with harmony.

I hope someone will read this. Food: Outstanding. Service: Poor. The ladies had a good attitude, but they were many flaws to be sincere. Order for starters was not placed as specified - I asked for the scallops to be served at the same time as the sparkling wine. Numerous times we were asked if we were ready to order / finished to eat, when we weren't , you can read the customer to tell they need more time . Cutlery was forgotten with dessert. Kitchen staff used a vacuum while we were having dessert, which was rude as it was super lound, and they were being loud too singing and shouting. The service can inprove to reflect the quality of the food served

We just had a main as we were tired and not that hungry after a long day... my main was ok and my partner's main was lovely. He got the vegetarian curry which was fresh and full of flavour, our roti bread was perfect, I ordered the Panang Duck Curry which I found very heavy and a bit too sweet for my palate, I would have preferred more spice and a bit more balance to the sauce, I couldn't eat more than half the dish as it was too heavy (It was a massive serve, so half was plenty!) The service was spot on, staff were helpful and friendly. The ambience was spoiled by the large table that was very noisy being seated right next to us which made it difficult to have a romantic evening or hear each other.

My second visit to Salted Egg restaurant. Overall food was delicious, however the barramundi was a bit average, it lacked flavour and the skin wasnt crispy. The service was quite poor. There was ample waiters however we hardly got any service. I had to get up multiple times to speak to a waiter. We asked for sparking water, however it came lukewarm which was odd. No explanation as to why, I went to the bar and the guy said the machine wasnt working but they can chill it in the fridge for us. We waited all night and by the time the sparking water came, it lost its fizz. We didnt get fresh plates for the main, so had to ask. The atmosphere and vibe was great. They need proper training for their staff.

Hi Ange, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your second visit to Salted Egg. We’re genuinely disappointed to learn that your experience fell short of our usual standards. What you described regarding the service flow, the delay and temperature of your sparkling water, and the lack of fresh plate changes is certainly not the seamless, attentive hospitality we pride ourselves on. Furthermore, your comments about the barramundi skin and seasoning have been shared directly with our head chef and floor team so we can address training and consistency immediately. We appreciate you bringing these details to our attention, as honest feedback is how we improve. We would love the opportunity to make this right on your next visit. Best regards, Salted Egg Melbourne

I had come over to celebrate a vegetarian friend’s birthday. The South Curry we ordered only had pumpkins and kale in it. We’d also requested information on the rice serving and were told one bowl would be sufficient for one person. We ordered three bowls and when the rice actually came, there were two bowls of it leftover. I had heard great things from two other vegetarian friends who had visited but was pretty disappointed with the options
Salted Egg MelbourneResponded on July 27, 2026
Hi Soni, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. First and foremost, we’re sorry to hear that your friend’s birthday celebration fell short of expectations, especially after receiving recommendations from your other friends. We sincerely apologize to hear that the South Curry felt limited in its ingredients and the miscommunication regarding our rice portions—our staff should have given you much better guidance so you weren't left with unnecessary excess on the table. We’re sharing your notes with our kitchen pass and floor team so we can review dish composition and staff briefing on portion recommendations. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future. Best regards, Salted Egg Restaurant

Some of the best Asian food I've eaten! We took our family of 6 here before a football game. The staff are very attentive and were able to help us select dishes that would be appropriate for the kids. We loved the fried chicken, spring rolls, lamb roti, short ribs and the wagyu steak was out of this world good. Fried chicken also sensational, absolute flavour explosion of both fresh and spicy 🔥
Salted Egg MelbourneResponded on June 8, 2026
Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for the incredible review! Hearing that this was some of the best Asian food you've eaten truly makes our day. We know that dining out with a family of 6 before a big game can be a busy experience, so we're thrilled that our staff could help guide you to the perfect dishes for the kids. It sounds like you ordered an amazing spread—that Wagyu steak and our spicy fried chicken are absolute favorites! We hope your family had a great time at the football, and we look forward to welcoming you all back for another flavor explosion soon! Best regards, Salted Egg Restaurant Team

We have been to the Salted Egg a few times now and always have a wonderful night. Food is always amazing and the staff were extra careful catering to my dietary requirement. If you go you must have the tuna and the son in law eggs - they are outstanding.
