Reviews


Presently you have access to 156 ratings from 2 website(s). The median rating for Ants Bistro is 4, signifying that guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. 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.
