We eat here all the time. The food is always spot on & the owner always comes to the table & greets us. My favourite chinese place.

So hard looking for good chinese after midnight - but this place is the best I've been so far! My favs would be the oysters, salt and pepper pork ribs and the ifu noodles. So addictive!

Great Food even though a bit expensive. Pigeon and Live Chili Mud Crab! They call it Hong Kong harbour style I think. It is really good even though a bit expensive. They just renovated the place. The ambiance is better now!

This is a local favourite and one of the better Chinese restaurants in Ashfield.

They've recently renovated so you won't see all the specials they used to plaster all over the wall. But the $68 Mud crab deal is still the most popular dish. Get it Bifantang style or with vermicelli. The other dish I recommend is the HK-style beef fillet. Also, remind them to bring you complimentary soup, as they tend to overlook it. The complimentary green jelly dessert with cream is awesome as well.

To those people who complain about the animal cruelty: you can't be eating meat and complain about it and not be called a hypocrite. Go eat broccoli then. Overall a great Chinese restaurant serving traditional mainland and cantonese dishes. Highly recommended.

We discovered Eaton walking down Liverpool Road. It was packed with locals so we figured it must okay. My son was intrigued with the fish tank (one of the tanks was packed with cod fish that there was no little room for them to swim). Staff should take extra care in removing the seafood from the tank, my son wasn't impressed when he was splattered with water and fish scales.

Eaton's decor is very 70ish and could well do with an update. We were given a table. Immediately a pot of chinese tea arrived and some pickled cabbage and some type of bean. Menus were given (I'm Chinese, the rest of the family Anglo Saxon Aussie), as soon as I spoke in English, the young waitress looked belwildered, if you are Chinese you should be able to speak mandarin/cantonese and read chinese of course.

Unfortunately, I do not have skills in either. This meant the complimentary soup which everyone else received did not reach us. I was tempted to cause a scene but really couldn't be bothered on this ocassion. The menu in english is limited, we ordered dim sums (average), combination chow mein (well can't exactly say it was combination), one pathetic prawn included!, the dish was saturated with oil and contained a few bits of chicken and green choy sum, a couple pieces of squid and fish, sizzling steak with special sauce (this was probably the best dish of the evening) very tender and tasty and crispy skin chicken.

Once again very average. I have experienced much better authentic chinese restaurants. We won't be going back in a hurry.

Excellent food for Chinese (I am a Chinese). Of course the waiters are traditionally short in manner that is the Chinese way (westerners are not used to this and find it offensive).

Incredible squid ink rice, delicious chilli snake beans and tasty beef hotpot. Highly recommended for a delicious Chinese meal, stands out against the cheaper fast food restaurants like Shanghai Nights and the other over inflated dumpling restaurants up the road.

The food was not bad. I like their special fried rice. Quite special. However, I think they should improve their service. From order to bill, they are pushing pushing pushing. I don't feel very relaxing.
