About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
Nestled in the bustling theatre precinct sits the home of Melbourne’s favourite hawker-style street food. Over 10 years, Gingerboy has become a laneway icon, along with the Australian freestyle cuisine Chef Teage Ezard has become known for.

With fresh produce and protein at the forefront, Gingerboy has become known for small bites like mushroom dumplings and scallop sui mai, as well as sharing plates such as the red duck leg curry and whole fried fish. Cocktails are never an afterthought, perfectly blended with their own unique take on the Asian fusion style, and given a home away from home at Gingerboy Upstairs.

    Loved the food but the service needs to be a little more polished for the environment.

    Excellent food and knowledgeable waiters/waitresses. I found the noise level high and the music too imposing.

    I went to Gingerboy on a Thursday night for my 25th birthday with my partner. We ordered the Wagyu Banquet. Service was exceptional, please note the Norwegian waitress was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. The banquet was delicious, though the only minor comment was that the chicken wings were so hot/spicy that I needed a moment to recover. Overall our experience was wonderfull, we will recommend for friends and be going back.

    Ginger boy was recommended to us to try. Tried set banquet which was good but will definitely try individual dishes next time. The staff were very helpful with our requirement of 1 gluten free and 3 normal menu. Overall glad we went.

    A wonderful and memorable meal. We enjoyed a banquet and were treated to an extraordinary array of fine food . The bar staff and waiting staff were knowledgeable, accommodating and added to the experience. Will definitely be visiting again when next in Melbourne.

    As a visitor from Sydney I have been to Gingerboy 3 time previously and recommended it many times so was excited to return. Sadly we were very disappointed with all the food we ate except for the Duck san choy bau which was delicious. The filling of the prawn and chicken pot stickers was like rubber and they were so dry with no dipping sauce provided. The service was great and ambience excellent but with out good food, I will not be returning and wont recommend it again in the future.
