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.

Went last night for late dinner at 9.30 pm. Had rice congee with fish fillets, fried dough sticks and chilli fillet steak with rice. Congee was lovely, could serve two, and dough sticks were crispy and hot.
Loved the complimentary salty peanuts at the beginning and fresh fruit platter and coconut milk jelly dessert at the end.
Friendly service, as it is one of the few late night diners in Ashfield (opens 3 pm, closes 2 am), the restaurant was getting full by 10 pm. Staff were attentive despite their own staff dinner getting cold. Wish they translated their Chinese menu on the wall into English. Other tables were eating freshly cooked prawns, mud crab and drinking soy milkshakes.
Very limited takeaway menu, maybe 8 dishes all up. This place concentrates on the dine-in crowd.

Just ate here and still enjoying the buzz. We were having a quick weeknight dinner - we arrived at 9.00pm and ordered three dishes (Fillet steak Hong kong style - a bit sweet for me but my partner loved it, singapore noodles - lovely and the Szechuan prawns which were delicious).
The food arrived quickly, hot and fresh, the service was fantastic and for $45 we thought it was good value too. Not to mention we were out of there just after 9.30 with full tummies. We thoroughly enjoyed it!! A nice change from the (lovely but plentiful) Shanghai style restaurants. Will definitely go back!

To get the excellent food here, you need to know what dishes to order. And they aren't on the menu and I'm not sure if they're on the wall menu either. My friends and I have been travelling the distant to get to this place for a decade, because there's no other restuarant in Sydney that can cook these dishes as well as these.
Vermicelli and XO sauce oysters, deep fried eggplant chips, XO sauce pippies on fried vermicelli, pigeon.

They open at 3pm. And they're open until the wee hours of the morning. If you're after fresh, quality food, it's here. The seafood is consistently good. Seafood and fresh fish is definitely their speciality although you can't really fault any of their other food.
The menu items listed on the walls are generally found in the menu, you only have to know where to look. And as for the english vs chinese menu, I'm not sure. I've ordered off both, and they seem pretty similar to me.
The service isn't the greatest, but certainly I've not encountered intentional rudeness. The staff aren't very good with noisy or demanding customers.
The restaurant is tiny and serves quality, fresh classy food to a discerning eater.

I've been here 3 times in the last 4 months. The food is consistently good here on my palate and well priced, and for me it's worth going to despite the consistently below average service level and ambience (tables need to be close together because the interior space is just so small).
