ABOUT US
In an homage to Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, Benjamin's Kitchen is dabbed in fluffy whites and mystic greys. Dreamy illuminated clouds dangle from ceilings to create a calm, immersive dining experience. As delightful as the décor, is the food. Our all-day menu stays true to the core of Asian cuisine, thoughtfully prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients and refined with modern techniques. Each dish reflects Benjamin’s Cantonese heritage, combining tradition with creativity to deliver flavours that are familiar, elevated, and deeply satisfying. Expect honest Asian cooking, made with care, precision, and respect for quality produce.
Serving Alphington and its surrounds since 2015, Benjamin’s Kitchen is guided by warm, genuine hospitality—the kind that makes guests feel welcome, relaxed, and at home. It’s a place to slow down and share good food over long lunches, intimate dinners, lively evenings, and meaningful group gatherings.
WHO IS BENJAMIN?
Born and bred in Guangdong, Benjamin's passion for food is deeply rooted in the region's rich culture and culinary traditions. His philosophy is simple - to let the food shine by showcasing fresh ingredients, prepared with care and respect.
He acquired mastery in cooking and wok techniques from years of experience, working his way up from hand washing dishes as a teenager to becoming a head chef in numerous Asian restaurants across the Melbourne scene. This journey shaped his appreciation for discipline, technique, and consistency in the kitchen.
Benjamin’s Kitchen is his third and most successful restaurant. Benjamin's vision is simple - to serve honest, delicious, joyful Asian food for local families without over-the-top extras. At Benjamin’s Kitchen, guests are always welcomed with warmth and made to feel right at home.
In 2023, Benjamin established Greenhart Camberwell, a modern Asian wine bar nestled in the leafy suburb of Camberwell - offering a more intimate, wine-led expression of Benjamin's cooking while staying true to the values of quality, simplicity and genuine hospitality.
