Was recommended by friends so we gave it a try. As soon as we walked in we were shocked. The decor or rather the whole restaurant is rather shabby and in need of a good clean. Since we were already in the restaurant we opt for the simpliest dish, i.e., rice with roast pork. Portion was ok but we found it hard to swallow due to the ambience or rather lack of it. Definitely will not go back there again.
Eating in is a bad idea, terrible decor and service. Takeaway is a much better option, quick, cheap and tasty. The lemon chicken is fantastic and the BBQ pork is the best outside Sydney. The duck is also good value. Highly recommended.
Well I wasn't expecting huge things here, but just wanted a quick lunch deal. I had been here years ago when they first opened which was good at the time, but it looks as though it hasn't seen a kitchen cloth in that time also. As one review mentioned dingy decor I'd have to agree. I also had the pleasure of the female server/waitress incessantly peeling Carrots on the table directly behind me in the dining room in between taking orders of food, handling cash and meat in the window.
The gloves were never removed/changed in between. The lack of hygiene was enough to make anyone's stomach flip. Just a few more things to mention:
Takeaway orders were taken before dine in customers who were waiting to order.
The menu's were filthy with a multitude of unidentifiable stains Browny/Black with no exaggeration. We paid extra to "Dine in" and the greasy mess was served on a styrofoam plate. To top it off, we had to eat with plastic cutlery. Pay extra for that kind of service? I don't think so.
Seriously, the grease lined the perimeter of the plate and is just not necessary. After a few mouthfuls we politely paid and left. The women serving didn't seem to care either way, and obviously went back to peeling the carrots in the dining room again. Charming!
I had one of the worst dining service experiences I've ever had here, and while I initially put it down to a possible language barrier, comments the staff made at the end really sealed it for me. The food is straight forward and not particularly wholesome, we had a laksa (from a bottle), BBQ pork (came so cold the fat was congealed) and fried rice made from rice so dry I had to soak it in soy sauce.
Here's where it really went wobbly though. For a start, they were unable to make any changes to the menu to accommodate one of our party who was diabetic, with an inflexability that calls to mind Seinfeld's Soup Nazi.
"There are more than 200 dishes on the menu," one of the staff told us. "Surely you can choose one of them." There was no fresh chilli, nor did we ever receive water for our table. The meals were plonked on the table where people weren't sitting, so we had to reach out for them (not good with hot soup!) and ask repeatedly for cutlery. At the end, where one of our party remarked that they'd probably get better business by being a bit friendlier, the staff told us "well maybe you shouldn't come back." Incredible!
Good simple suburban Chinese with no pretence. Sure the decor is dingy and the service is efficent if not engaging but the food and value are what make this a venue worth visiting time and again for an impromptu meal.
Good value Chinese restaurant. Service is simple as is the food, in good portions, located near the bottom of Katoomba Street. The interior decore could do with a spruce up. Have the hanging ducks in the front window. Good for a quick, no nonsense meal.
