A most remarkable dinner. From the food to the server to Mr. Tely. Well done. As new here in Viera area we always looking for the best of the best with cuisines. I think we might have found it in Tely’s for Chinese. ??

Make a reservation. We did not and they were wonderful and set up a folding table and worked us in, but the were quite busy. We started with crab and mushroom soup that was excellent. My spouse had the duck in XO sauce and I had the shrimp and cilantro. My dish was very mild and her's seemed a bit busy, but both were tasty. Can't wait to try other dishes. Excellent service.

Telly's was amazing. My fiance had been wanting to go since it opened and we finally got there. The food and service were amazing. Telly himself, visited our table often, that night. We felt very special. It's a classy place with really good food. Flavorful, authentic with a modern twist.

Big Boy Dining Out
Tely's Chinese Restaurant 6450 N. Wickham Rd., Melbourne, FL 329404.5 StarsFeeling a tad esurient, I steeled my nerves and proceeded OTB for a visit to Tely's Chinese Restaurant in Suntree (Melbourne). The people who respect food and dining are the ones I respect. The ones who, through the art of practiced ereption, steal from the general dining public by wiping their feet on the industry are the ones I write nasty things about. Thankfully, Tely Tse, the owner of Tely's Chinese Restaurant and the owner of former Brevard giant Yen Yen is one of those restaurateurs I highly respect. After 18 years at Yen Yen and 8 more here, Tely is doing many things right.Danielle is our wait staff today, and while this fine example of a lady has a pulse of zero, do not let that fool you or put you off, as she does not suffer in the least from ergasiophobia. She performed her duties with outstanding professionalism.I asked Danielle for an order of the whole fried fish, scallops in their XO sauce, Snow White Prawns and a bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. Relaxing with the place's vibe, I sat back, snapped some pictures and eagerly awaited Danielle's return.My wait was within an acceptable time frame. I soon found myself basking in the delectable aromas that assaulted my olfactory senses as Danielle set my order on the table. I have to direct your eyes to the pictures at this point. If that is not an artistic culinary presentation, I don't know what is. Everything is screaming freshness and was made on-site. I assure you, everything smelled as good as it looked. Anticipatorily, I grabbed my tools of dietary obliteration and got to work.I had asked for my whole fried fish to be served in their Chinese Black Bean Sauce. Traditionally, this sauce is made from douchi (fermented black soybeans), garlic, and soy sauce. It is then simmered down to a delectable slightly thick sauce. Tely's nailed it. The fish was fried to a deliciousness not often experienced and the sauce was amazingly flavorful.Forcing myself to move on, I turned my attention to the Scallops in XO sauce. XO sauce is considered one of the most expensive, prestigious and luxurious sauces in Hong Kong Cuisine. It is customarily made from dried scallops, dried shrimp, fine smoked ham, chili, garlic, lemongrass and other seasonings. The menu clearly states “No refund and return on any dishes that are cooked with the XO sauce,” which, of course, made me want to try it. I mean, how can something touted as having such luxurious taste be made in such a way that someone would return it? After one bite, I wasn't sure. The second one allowed me to begin to form an opinion and the third one had me on the bandwagon. This has to be one of the most exotic and flavorful sauces I have ever had the pleasure of scarfing down. Wow is about all I can say.Moving on, albeit regretfully, I forked a prawn and popped it in my cake hole. These are Tely's take on the traditional Chinese creamy-style shrimp. Once again, Tely proclaims his sovereignty over Middle Kingdom cuisine in Brevard County with this outstanding dish. Suffice it to say everything was marvelously prepared and obviously done so with love. Least I forget, the Hot and Sour soup here is the real deal. This is not something Panda Express made to suit what some corporate suit thinks Americans want or expect in ethnic food.The Big Boy says, “Anytime you want to experience the best Brevard has to offer in Hong Kong cuisine, go to Tely's Chinese Restaurant.”

Tely's is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Melbourne/Suntree. The food is fresh, flavorful and we are never disappointed no matter what we order. Some of our top dishes are: the eggplant casserole, the curried shrimp, the hot and sour soup and the pork fried rice. The service is always top notch too, we highly recommend dining there!

The best Chinese Restaurant in town hands down! The food, service and hospitality is beyond expectations. It is a great place for date night with the spouse/significant other. Our constant go to order is the orange beef, Singapore noodles, and Sichuan string beans. If you love Chinese food, you have to try this place. You won't regret it!

The Beef Lo Mein was delicious but the Sesame Chicken was awful. Definitely will be back for the Lo Mein but steer clear of Sesame Chicken.
