The timing couldn’t be better. As more Asian eateries carve out a space in Melbourne—think Marrybrown’s Malaysian fried chicken or the endless queues for bubble teas—TamJai Mixian is cementing its place as a favourite for diners seeking something a little different. This is noodle culture with a twist, offering customisable bowls that pack a punch.
A Noodle Haven in Melbourne Central
Strategically located for city workers, shoppers, and food enthusiasts, TamJai’s Melbourne Central spot promises convenience without sacrificing quality. The vibrant interiors reflect its Hong Kong roots, complete with a soup-tasting counter where you can sample spice levels before committing—a lifesaver for anyone unsure about turning up the heat.
The menu centres around six signature soup bases, each bringing its own personality. Whether you’re after something mild and comforting or ready to take on the "hell fire" spice level, TamJai Mixian has you covered. Top it off with your pick from a wide range of add-ons, including fresh veggies, seafood, or Hong Kong classics like tender pork belly and the bold century egg with garlic and chilli.
What to Try
If decision-making isn’t your forte, go for the TamJai Supreme Mixian, a bowl loaded with 17 toppings for the ultimate noodle experience. Pair it with the TuFei Chicken Wingettes, already turning heads with their secret spice blend. For something unique, the Sliced Pork Belly with Mashed Garlic or the Century Egg with Garlic and Chilli will keep things interesting.
Bowls start at $16.90, with combo options available at $19.90, which include noodles, toppings, and a drink. Their signature Hong Kong-style Lemon Tea is a refreshing companion to the rich, spicy broths.
With plans to open new locations in Glen Waverley and Box Hill in 2025, TamJai Mixian is setting the stage for even more international favourites to follow. Asian food brands are finding a dedicated audience here, tapping into a city that thrives on diverse and authentic food experiences.
We may not have Jolibee yet, but Melbourne’s growing taste for these international Asian flavours signals a shift in the city’s dining landscape. For now, TamJai Mixian is leading the charge, one spicy, flavour-packed bowl at a time. It’s time to grab your spoon and see what all the fuss is about.
