This restaurant claims its chef used to cook for Chairman Mao Zedong and is definitely not shy about it with photos, portraits and even a golden bust representing China's former communist party leader.

Patrons are encouraged to taste Mao's favourite dishes, plus other assorted Hunan and Cantonese dishes.

The heritage facade conceals a vividly decorated Asian eatery, with electric-pink walls and bright yellow Chinese lanterns. The extensive menu also offers simple, Eastern cooking with a variety of meat and vegetable stir-fries, seafood and soup dishes.

The shredded jellyfish and radish makes for an interesting entree, while the Chinese-style squid with plum sauce is generously proportioned for its $13.80 price tag.

Simple Japanese Cafe food - good sushi and noodles & broth dishes. Excellent value for money.

The team at Tjanabi has designed the menu to reflect the traditional six seasons of Melbourne. The traditional owners of the Melbourne area, the Boon wurrung and Woi wurrung divided the year into six seasons. Each season brought with it a new bounty of seasonal produce - and a new journey cycle.
