Tely's Chinese - Melbourne

It was a pleasant experience when eating at this place. I asked for roasted duck, the cripple was on point!! Great! I also asked for jasmine tea. The teapot is enough for two people. Especially the service was fantastic! Rick our server deserves six stars! Prices are affordable, I spent around $60.00 for two people, including tip.

Went here on the advice of my wife's co-worker. We made a reservation as this place books up fast. The waiter staff and owner are super friendly. There are more items available if you ask, so don't be concerned if your favorite dish is not listed on the menu. They will easily accommodate special requests if they can. We started with a very refreshing seaweed salad and a plate of the muscles in black bean sauce. The muscles tasted fine, but several of mine were not hot in the middle. The muscles were large which can be a bit chewey as compared to the smaller variety, but the toppings and sauce brought it together. We ordered the specialty Snow White Prawns. This was 4 large prawns batter dipped and covered with a creamy sweet mayonnaise based sauce. It was crisp and tender but the mayo was a bit much in our opinion. It tasted good, but we took off some of the sauce and enjoyed it more that way. The second dish we ordered was the Hunan Lamb. This came with some fresh peppers and a tasty dark sauce. The lamb was tender and delicious. Possibly the best lamb I have ever eaten. The spiciness was just right and balanced nicely with the provided white rice. This was by far the best dish and will get us coming back for more. We finished with their deep fried, batter dipped apples covered in a rum sauce that is lit on fire at the table. Crisp and tart apple with with a kick of 151 rum. Very nice and a very adult dessert. We also ordered a few dishes to go for our son at home. The beef with broccoli (very tasty and tender beef) and shrimp fried rice which had large tender shrimp and lightly fried rice. A very nice dish too. Overall, this is a great Chinese restaurant with excellent service in the Suntree section of Melbourne. We will be back to try some of their other dishes for sure.

Yummy food, we had the corn soup, pumpkin soup, beef&broccoli, beef fried rice, and glass noodles w/a chicken stir-fry and plum wine. We had great service by Paul, and really enjoyed chatting with the kind owner.

Our first visit and the food and service was amazing!! This is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants we've eaten at and we truly love and cook Chinese often. Been to China several times. If you don't know this is the best, you don't know good Chinese food. The only similarly great option is Taste of Chengdu in Orlando, but we love Tely's! We will be returning often.

Had dinner with my wife on a Friday evening. The owner Tely and his staff were very professional and helpful. We had appetizers, shrimp dumplings and salt and pepper squid, and a main course each. I had the Hunan Lamb which melted in your mouth and my wife had the curry tofu, which was very tasty and well prepared. Portion sizes were just right. The restaurant setting is very good and I recommend calling ahead and making a reservation before you go. Very highly recommended and I will definitely be back again . Thank you Tely for the very nice evening.
