Welcome to Chef James

From humble beginnings to local favourite

Small food stall at a night market

Hey Hey Hey!

We are a family-owned food stall at the Richmond Night Market. Since 2007, we’ve been at the market almost every weekend, serving up delicious food and bringing smiles to the faces of our customers. Our success comes from Chef James, who blends his culinary experience as a Western Chef with his Chinese heritage to create mouth-watering dishes. His love for engaging with the crowd adds to the classic night market fun, making every visit a memorable experience.

A small update

Until 2019, our menu featured our signature lamb skewers, inspired by the flavours of our hometown in China. However, during the COVID pandemic, we had to shut down, and by 2022, we made the decision to revamp our entire menu. Now, we proudly serve buns that carry the same great flavour our customers have come to love.
