Been here a few times with a friend. Great staff. Food is fresh and hot, served quickly. Generous servings so although it's a bit more expensive than your average Chinese restaurant, it's still good value for money. Some dishes don't have quite the right authentic taste though, since the dishes come from all over Asia. Still delicious though. Will be coming back.

Approximate cost: $18

This place serves the most delicious Chinese! (The honey chicken is my favourite!) Been here only a few times, but I always highly recommend it. Staff are friendly and the meals affordable.

I had dinner here and the food was delicious. We did wait a VERY long time to be served and the prices were a little high, but the food was very good.

I recently went to dinner here with a large group of people. The staff were extremely welcoming the the good service continued all night.

I tried a selection of starters, all were great but the prawn ravioli was to die for.

I must go back to try some of the other dishes (maybe twice, they have a large variety.) Everyone else in the group enjoyed their meals and we all thought it was value for money. A big thumbs up.

Approximate cost: $20

Fantastic food, great atmosphere. I'm always surprised by the great service. The waiters even put your napkin on your lap for you. I love the Shan Tun duck, always so tasty and tender.

My family and I have made it our go to restaurant for birthdays etc., and the prices are very reasonable.

This is one of the worst Chinese restaurants I've had in Australia. Overly priced, bad service, obvious shortcut in preparing some of the food (especially the chicken dish). Never ever going back.

Clearly you are hard to please as this restaurant rocks try something like the salmon or the red curry duck yummo

Have been a few times and the food is always great and fast. The eagle prawns is fantastic and so is the Cocochine special rice. It is pricey, but worth it for the quality.

Pretty good Asian food. One of the best in Werribee/Point Cook area. They do have dearer prices but their food is very good!

We have had take away from there and it was well presented for take away food Quantities were small. Although the food tasted good it was way over priced and before you know it your spending $50 for 2 people to go home and use their own cutlery.

Approximate cost: $too much

We took friends of ours out to dinner for her birthday... After reading the mixed reviews we thought we would try it for ourselves.. The price indeed is quite high considering the area it is in, but the food was tasty!! The Peking duck was fantastic, sweet an sour pork was very yum.. crunchy beef strips were.. crunchy.. hehe but very nice! although the beef steak was abit of a let down.. tender but too chewy and my friend freaked out a lil that the meat looked purplish.. for the 4 of us, it costed $180 so pretty steep compared to many other delicious asian restaurants in St Albans/Footscray etc that is just as good. Lovely decor though and the staff were pleasant! Not sure if we'd go again though and the food took a little bit long to come out considering there weren't so many guest in the restaurant at the time..

Approximate cost: $20-45

Never known anyone to complain about the food, its always fresh and hot, with a variety of Asian cuisine. Beautiful atmosphere, and child friendly. Only problem was that it is a bit pricey, especially if you order take away. Overall I would definitely recommend to go on special occasions.

Approximate cost: $30-40

Over rated, it's not bad for a run of the mill mixed Chinese restaurant, still over priced for what it is, which is not real traditional Chinese food. Coco chine only caters for the western taste and not real Chinese foods as such. Do yourself a big favor and go visit some places in the city were real Chinese food is served at very cheap prices too. Then you can really say delicious!!!

I totally agree the place is not a authentic Chinese restaurant. If you've tried real Chinese food, you'll know CocoChine's standard is horrible.

I have to wonder about the dining experiences of those who give too big a rap for this restaurant. Perhaps people need to try places in the city or in the inner eastern suburbs before drawing their conclusions. Cocochine is without a doubt overpriced and hit-or-miss on the food. The decor and staff are great, but i was paying for the food too. It's high class for families that dont get out much.

Once we arrived, the person waiting on us at the time was really helpful, and knew many of the dishes they serve there and was able to advise me to meals that were not only good but also meals that i would not get shock from because it was too hot or way too spicy for me and my family. The Meals served there from the menu are much like a mixture of many other restraunts, only that they are more pricey for what you get.

The food here is always fantastic. Mongolian beef is a must taste. Great friendly staff. Beautiful view of the lake . It is a bit pricey for what you get but I will still go back because the food is that good.

Cocochine is typical "Aussie Chinese" food. I only had takeaway, not dine in, and the food was tasty and filling. It's a bit annoying not having close parking, and the waiting time was relatively high, but I would still go back there when the urge for fried rice hit me again.

Approximate cost: $13
