Overview

Brother Lee Canteen 小李哥凉皮 stands out as a genuine gem in Clayton’s vibrant Asian food scene. Nestled on 290 Clayton Rd, this modest yet welcoming establishment offers a genuine taste of traditional Chinese street food, serving dishes that emphasize both authenticity and comfort. From the moment you step inside, the clean and compact space reflects a balance of simplicity and care, creating an inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike.

The menu highlights vividly showcase a variety of beloved Chinese staples. The pulled pork noodle soup impresses with tender meat and rich broth, delivering a depth of flavor that feels homemade. Alongside this, their Chicken Hamburger and Lamb Wrap offer a fresh take on filling, savory sandwiches that are both satisfying and unique. For noodle enthusiasts, the chewy noodles and prawn chicken wontons drenched in fragrant sesame sauce highlight the kitchen’s dedication to texture and seasoning.

Equally notable are the rice dishes, such as the Bean Curd Home Style Bean Curd Pork Belly Rice, which pairs silky tofu with succulent pork belly in a harmony of flavors. The Chicken Noodle Soup and accompanying salad provide a lighter yet equally flavorful option. Not to be overlooked, the tofu jelly dessert delivers a refreshing finish with its smooth, delicate sweetness.

Customer experiences consistently praise not only the food but also the attentive service. Friendly staff greet visitors warmly, adding a personal touch often missing in fast-paced eateries. This ethos elevates dining here from a simple meal to a comforting experience. The canteen’s early opening hours also make it a rare and welcome choice for Asian breakfasts in the area.

Whether you are after a quick bite or a full meal featuring noodles, buns, or rice with rich accompaniments, this restaurant crafts each dish with care and cultural respect. It is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking genuine Chinese street food in Melbourne’s Clayton precinct.

Was in Clayton area and walked passed this eatery which is one of the not many that opens for Asian breakfast around 10am. As we were not particularly hungry, we just randomly ordered 3 of the local Asian street food. All 3 items were surprisingly delicious! Really enjoyed of all them, especially the pulled pork burger and the savoury beancurd with soy sauce. Service was good too. Looking forward to try other dishes on the menu.

Food like the buns and noodles were fantastic, where both the coriander and chilli matches the buns very well. The desserts are good but not as good as the buns. Small place,clean. Will visit again

You get all sorts of rice, noodles, and dumplings here, for prices cheaper than other similar restaurants in Melbourne. A good portion of the menu comes with a set too (6 mini side dishes). The staff are friendly too - like actually greet you when you come and thank you when you leave and say welcome when you say thank you.

A nice Asian style restaurant for trying traditional Chinese Bun and other noodles (liangpi). What a pity that it sold out when I came in. But the meat bun and tofu soup just made it perfect

Great value, unique Chinese street food offering. Rougamos are amazing, especially if you have a south Asian palette.

Cozy place across the street. Affordable menu starting from around $5. Clean environment with fast service. The food served does not look exactly like the picture on the menu. Tastes really good with extra onion oil and chilli oil as add-on. Dine in and get access to the free add-ons from the table!
