I've been a few times now and really love their menu. The food is inspirational, each dish beautifully put together. The quality is always top notch!

The best food and service I have ever experienced, yes the restaurant is small but you don't even think about it while you eating the beautiful food and being served by the most attentive wait staff I have ever seen. Highly highly highly recommend the duck, to add to our awesome experience Kylie Kwong herself was cooking and even gave us a wave. Kylie not only cooks gorgeous food but is gorgeous herself.

The meal was a real treat. We asked the waiter to choose the dishes and we were not disappointed. Each dish was better than the other. The place is on the small side but the service was great and in the end it was great value for money based on the quality of food.

Crispy duck was Ok and the highlight of the evening last night. The rest was simply soy sauce doused food that is simply not fit for human consumption. The service was appalling and the entire place over-stated.

On the off chance we could get a seat for the family we ventured to Kylie's restaurant for what turned out to be an amazing dinner! They don't take bookings so that can be a pain esp if you are with a family but we went on a Monday so were got there and there was still a few tables left at 6.30 pm.

The service is impeccable, really it was something else. We were really looked after. Not once did we have to fill our glasses or ask to, the food was all very well described and we all even the kids had a great meal out.

The restaurant itself is a little small so it does feel a little crowded but after a glass of wine and the first meal is served you soon get over that. I am soo glad I made the trip there! Ps. The pork belly pancakes - Wow! They are great.

We were lucky to score a table here at 8.30 on a busy Friday night. We ordered the prawn dumplings for entree which were delicious, fresh seafood flavour with just the right mix of coriander.

For mains we tried the salt and pepper blue swimmer crab and the crispy duck with organic oranges. We couldn't fault either meal, the crab was so delicious and the sauce was amazing. I'm actually not a fan of duck but this was the exception, crispy, tender and the orange sauce so flavoursome it matched perfectly.

We also tried the organic Chinese greens with garlic sauce and steamed rice (the only downer of the night as the rice was a little dry and wasn't quite right).

Anyway, we can't wait to go back and try some other yummy treats.

The food was fantastic and the service was too. It was pricy but considering the standard of food and the fat it was organic (which is never cheap), it was well worth the experience. I loved it and will certainly visit again.

Food was fantastic but prices are high. You are paying for the name though.
We rocked up at 9 and were called 20 minutes later as a table became available. Unfortunately, it is only a little venue, my back got quite sore from sitting on the little stools and I was constantly elbowed by a patron on a nearby table, but what can you do!?

We ordered Steamed Wontons (4) for entree, around $18 and Crispy Chicken for main $40something. There's something about the rice wine vinegar toppings on both dishes, it was delicious. Total with tea and rice was above $70.

The service was great and the staff are very helpful. I do recommend it once, it is a Sydney restaurant icon and it is nice for something different. However, I have had chinese just as good for half the price in Sydney. After watching Kylie's shows I was hoping there would be more dumplings on offer or Xiao Long Bao, but, unfortunately, not.

Rocked up on a Tuesday night with a friend. We didn't get straight in, but didn't have to wait long. Maybe 20 to 25 minutes. The dining room is really quite small and was obviously full, but there was a genial atmosphere to the place.

We decided on two entrees and two mains and the Cantonese fried rice. Everything tasted amazing, but in hindsight we probably over-ordered. There was still a mountain of the fried rice and duck and calamari that we could not get through.

The service was terrific, very helpful and friendly although we did order some Chinese tea (requested for "half way through" the meal) which never came.

Throw in a bottle of wine and a dessert to share (totally unnecessary - my dining companion's idea) and the bill came to just under $200. Fairly exxy for a "Chinese", but there were no regrets at all, as a place like this is somewhere you must try at least once.

Extraordinary chinese restaurant, even though it's pricey for this type of cuisine yet, they have the most unique and tasty foods (the duck is a must to try!). Cosy and small place, definitely need a reservation way before, but it's worth waiting.
