Convenient on the corner of Ashgrove Avenue and Waterworks Road, this restaurant serves pretty good…read moremeals quickly and has a very long menu, which means you could go back there every day and try something new for a couple of months. The last time we went, we ordered sweet and sour pork, fried rice and spring rolls. All where delicious. The only negative is that it is a little pricey for the extras, the fried rice was $6 and is a relatively small serving, especially if dividing it between two, and these things add up. Definitely recommended if you're in the area and looking for Chinese, however it is a little bit on the pricey side - a family sized meal could quickly escalate, and the decorum is not the best, however it gets points for being close, convenient, tasty, fast food and there is a friendly couple working there.

I was looking for a non-greasy meal and the soup was exactly what I wanted. I didn't bother putting any other additional seasoning. The soup and noodles were light with punctuations of savory flavor provided by the BBQ pork and the won tons. I was immediately attended to and even given a whole jug of ice cold water. I know that doesn't mean much to some people, but I think it is a fine example of good customer service. Other places don't bother to serve you water and don't even care if the water is lukewarm. I was really satisfied with the meal, service, and the restaurant was well presented. I'll be happy to make another visit to sample the other items on the lunch menu.

Great dumplings. I went here with mom and sister who is vegetarian. We all walked away happy…read more Sister was surprised by the wide range of tasty vegetarian selections. Very standard dumpling menu but all were a little distinguished from the norm and very good. My favorites were the steamed shrimp dumplings. My mom enjoyed the fried shrimp dumplings and the pan fried shrimp dumplings and my sister and I both loved the tofu mixed vegetable dumplings. Service was also great. Very friendly waiters that were suitably attentive. Three thumbs up!

I would definitely buy again. My favourite was the pork…read morebelly, which was cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. The other dishes we got include the fried rice, seasonal veggies, garlic butter chicken and sweet + sour pork. The pork had a touch of pineapple which I was impressed with. The garlic butter chicken was crispy and melted in your mouth. I 100% recommend trying the slow braised pork if you like pork. It's delicious. Perfect for days when you don't want to cook. The prices are reasonable too.

It would be a stretch to call Jackpot's food traditional, as often the menu comprises of Australian staples in the asian culinary world. Sweet and sour pork, yes. Mongolian beef, yes. Yet, as talk of a 'cost of living crisis' is front of mind, Jackpot seemingly has disregarded this. Ranging from $10-14, you'll find a filling, yet tasty meal. Service is average, but can you blame them! It's cheap, effective grub to get you on your way. 3 / 5

My friend stands by this place. When I asked him to suggest something for takeout other than…read moreChinese, he recommended Willow Garden (A Chinese restaurant). I didn't want Chinese, but he offered to pay for everything. Win for me I guess. He made the order over the phone and in twenty minutes he sent me down to pick it up. He was paying. When I got to Willow Garden there was a substantial body of people dining in, mainly families. I got to the counter and proceeded in the steps to get out takeaway. After a few attempts of communication with the lady behind the counter, we finally managed to bridge our language barriers. Ten minutes later, with food in hand I was back at my friends place. The servings were more than generous. Willow Garden didn't hold back on filling our containers with delicious food. The flavours, however, were pretty crazy. I sometimes felt that one dish was too sweet and another too salty. The fired rice was ok, but I had the feeling that some of the ingredients were from packet mixes of veges or something. Even though I didn't spend any money, I felt it was worth it. Perhaps my review is also bias because I didn't feel like Chinese that evening. Anyway, my friends stands by Willow Garden.

I'm okay with that because everywhere else you go namely in the Toowong Village Food Court... not even a restaurant... you will pay $10-$15 for a dish. At least they're still around $10 for a dish here and $8.50 if you're after a rice/noodle. That price sits well in my wallet and considering the: 1) Fast order and turnaround time 2) The cleanliness of the place 3) The friendly and efficient staff and now 4) The stylish new Yelpingly hot look 5) The new dishes they've added to the menu It sits right in my stomach too. The food is always cooked fresh, served hot (i'm a big fan of this) and comes out quickly. The price is pretty right with me, I don't mind spending a few more dollars than before because it's still a pretty nice little situation.

My folks wanted to try this place they read about in a mag. I confess I didn't even know it…read moreexisted. It appears quite new and will be a love affair for fans of New Shanghai who live locally. The restaurant is quite small which is probably why I missed it even though I travel past every day. It's within easy walking distance of the Coles carpark which should solve any non local's parking issues. The menu is quite compact but feasible and there are lunch specials at a smaller size. The dumplings section is basically the hardcore traditional favourites. Not as much choice as NS but should appease the regular dumpling eater. A variety of to-share dishes in the other section of the menu. We settled down to chive pancake, xiao long bao, pan stickers, griddled pork buns and a noodle dish. Seating is limited, I guess the tables could be moved, but you'd be looking at maybe 4-8 being comfortable. It is right open to Boundary Road, so it will be noisy with multiple buses and heavy car traffic. However, I say this would make a good casual dinner between family or friends. Service was fast and attentive. The interior design is quite schmick, the crockery is divine, but the Coke fridge a little jarring. :) They've gone to effort to make it look good, and the food is good enough. I hope it survives as some times one just needs a few dumplings, and a Chinese dumpling is not a Japanese gyoza (which West End has one of also). So please do me a favour and get into this place and keep it going, so I don't have to line up at NS or go over to Sunnybank for my fix.

The shoyu ramen was a bit watery for my taste but it wasn't overly salty. The katsu curry was sweet and creamy though the chicken was a bit on the dry side. Service was good and there were short wait times even during the afternoon rush hour. The seating arrangement is pretty simple to maneuver. There are a couple long communal tables and several 4-seaters scattered throughout. You order at the counter and the girls give you a number that represents your order(s). Overall nothing particularly special about this place but it's all right for a quick and relatively cheap Japanese meal in the CBD.
