Funky gem for the pre, during and post drinking tummy workoutThis funky little bar is tucked away upstairs from the Oriental teahouse on Chapel st. You'd seriously miss it if you weren't looking.... This place has pretty much the same menu as the Oriental tea house and that's because they share a kitchen. What makes it stand out a little more for me is the cosy bar vibe, the personable staff and the few menu additions like the chicken ribs and beer combo $15 bargain! !.... these crispy salt and pepper morsles are very moorish but make sure it's a naughty day because they are not for those watching their weight....it was the alcohols fault, right?? My favourites were the salt and pepper tofu,...
If you are up to it, the Zhoumbie cocktail was my absolute favourite and it is very theatrical! It's quite a strong cocktail but it has a lovely fruity aftertaste. Food wise, you can't go wrong with the Dumplings. They are so delicious. I had the Satay Peanut Chicken and Asian Herb which were very juicy and had a nice flavour balance. I also had the Crispy Prawn Wontons which were my favourite, so much flavour!I couldn't go past the deserts and so tried the Chinese Wonka Dumplings. I had no idea what these were even after reading the description. Most unusual desert I have ever had. Definitely something to try. The ice cream that came with it was super yummy!Overall sensational food, cocktai...
Nice small venue hidden up the top of Oriental Tea house. Been a couple of times on a Wednesday for their $1 dumplings. Pork or Veg. They're fantastic, super delicious! Also had the salt and pepper tofu and veggie spring rolls.. couldn't fault them. Drinks were good, get there before 7 for happy hour prices. Also had a cosmo which was nice, bartender was friendly and quick. Would just recommend some more variety with the cocktails that are available as jugs. Settled on the blood orange jug with the recommendation of the bartender but it was pretty average, I think they could have some more appealing Ines to add to the list. Nice vibe, fantastic live music. Will definitely be back to try more...
We dined at Zhou Zhou on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm, and were pleased to find that the kitchen was still open. Everything we ordered was delicious, starting with the fantastic dumplings. We then tried the steak and chicken dishes with rice, and they were all amazing! The restaurant was quiet at that time of day, and the service was great. The food quality, quantity, and price were all excellent, and we highly recommend this place. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Went upstairs to the bar on a Saturday night for a late dinner. Seated straight away and menu at the bar was the same as the restaurant section. The food was ready in no time and was excellent quality. Only thing stopping me from rating 5 is probably the price factor. Great service and friendly staff. Flavourful food and would definitely come again.
The bar at Oriental Tea House on Chapel Street is truly fantastic. The cozy and cheerful interior makes for a great atmosphere. There is a wide selection of amazing drinks to choose from. A special thanks to Aidan, the event manager, for being very pleasant and helpful in showing us around and assisting us in choosing a venue for our function.
I'm really surprised that this place doesn't get more busy. The decor and cocktail list are all pretty cool. There aren't many nice bars down the South Yarra end of Chapel Street, so if you're in the area looking for somewhere then worth checking out. You can also order food there too if the restaurant downstairs is too busy.
Zhou Zhou is the place to go if you want affordable share plates and a cocktail on a Friday night. The food comes straight up from the tea house, the only difference is the bar atmosphere!

Had a great night. A must if you love Japanese Whisky and Beer. Upstairs from oriental tea house with lots of appetising snacks to compliment the drinking. Loved it.
Lovely decor and good service. Tried the BBQ pork buns, chicken ribs, prawn wontons and some dumplings, and loved the flavours. Plenty of room.
