San Yuan Chinese Restaurant

I happened to be in the Dandenong area and decided to revisit a Xinjiang/Mongolian restaurant that my cousin had taken me to 10 years ago. After some quick research on Google, I chose to try this restaurant. The staff greeted us warmly and recommended some popular dishes. I particularly enjoyed the stir-fried lamb offal, despite initially being put off by the description of the ingredients. I found myself hooked on the kidney and lamb tripe for their soft and chewy texture. The Xinjiang stir-fried noodle was tasty but not particularly outstanding. It was tender and chewier compared to Shanghai noodles. One dish that is a must-try is the lamb skewer.

Very friendly staff, albeit we went last week at 11.30 and it was quiet. People started coming in as we left. If you like Asian food without the terrible western touch that spoils traditional Asian food such as honey chicken, then this is the place to go. Beautiful dumplings, spicy beef in chilli soup, chicken fried with dried chilli, fresh vegetables in oyster sauce. Food was lovely, place was clean, prices are very good value. Definitely returning.

Situated next to Dandenong Plaza, San Yuan is a family-owned restaurant that specializes in Xinjiang Northern Chinese cuisine. Similar to many Asian restaurants in Melbourne, the restaurant is bustling and crowded whenever it is open. San Yuan has a loyal customer base and is known for its focus on quality food and excellent customer service.

Tasty and affordable Xinjiang cuisine. I have always really liked this restaurant because the food is full of flavour and familiar to my mum's cooking. The restaurant itself may look a little scrappy, but I would absolutely recommend the food for the taste, affordable price, and great portion sizes.

I searched for them online, but they were difficult to locate on GPS. They are actually just across from Dandenong Market! They have delicious handmade noodles and lamb shashlik. I will definitely be returning.
