Crown's Lucky Chan opens after $6m refurb

Restaurateur and owner Andy Ng oversaw the completion of the 270-seat upgrade.

An added feature to this newly opened restaurant is the shift from your mainstream menu to the revolutionary i-Pad, taking them on a visual journey before ordering their meal. Upon arrival, guests are presented with a 10 second i-Pad video about Lucky Chan; guests can then peruse the i-Pad's menu of dim sum, live seafood, main courses and more. The new i-Pad menus state all main ingredients of the dish, making it easier for the diner to make an educated ordering decision.

Also making an impace will be the 1.5 tonne, 1.2 metre high tropical fish tank at the restaurant's entrance - it's the second largest curved glass tropical fish tank in Victoria, apart from Melbourne Aquarium. The incredibly rare species of goldfish displayed in the tank are not only a visual delight but also enhance the Feng Shui of the restaurant.

Designed by Webb+ and Schiavello, Lucky Chan pairs traditional Chinese design elements with modern flair wit a design that also features Hans J. Wegner-designed chairs. Known in the design world as simply, "the chair", it was made famous by magazine 'Interiors' in 1950 and was used in the televised presidential debate between Nixon and Kennedy in 1960.

Back on the menu are some of Lucky Chan's most popular dishes including the spicy quail, Shanghai style hot and sour soup, King prawns with Imperial sauce, kung po chicken, Peking Duck and fillet of beef with Szechuan sauce all still feature on the menu.
