The so called fried rice, was basically some rice with a few bits of I think it may have been the ends of shallots and of course I had to pay for some prawns in it. They would have made at least $19 on the rice alone. What an utter wrought. A take away for me is somewhat of a luxury these days and not something I indulge myself in very much at all. What a rotten way to run a business not giving a f.......... about customers or how they spoil their meals. Shame on the Chef and the owners. Paying $50 for two items and neither were edible is a darn disgrace in anyones eyes. Sad thing is, they all keep getting away with it.

My husband and I were visiting Sydney and had several people recommend Chinese Noodle House so we…read morehad to check it out. We really had no idea what to get, so ordered a full order of steamed pork dumplings, a chicken pancake, and a order of fried noodle with beef. Everything came out as it was ready and was piping hot, perfect for the cool evening. The chicken pancake was my favorite, it reminded me of a burrito but with a delicate wrap. The noodles and dumplings were also very good! In what I believe is northern Chinese fashion, both had a slightly thicker feel than I am used to but I loved how it gave the noodles such a unique chew and made the dish feel so substantial. This is definitely worth a visit if you are in the Sydney area, but do not confuse it with Chinese Noodle Restaurant next door!

Macau Noodle Kitchen (澳門小廚) is located on the street corner of Burwood St and George St. The…read morespacious and simple interior is that of a typical Chinese restaurant where you would expect to find authentic food at. The service is a bit slow, with the abundance of locals and the few staff outside the kitchen. We ordered the Char Siu Low Mein (叉燒撈麵) , Seafood Congee (海鮮粥) and Stir-fried Chinese Kale with Ginger (薑汁芥蘭). The roasted pork is cut into generous slices, laid atop the hill of noodles. The Char Siu has the signature crimson glaze, charred on the edges and soft in the middle. The pork isn't particularly juicy, but the right balance of sweet and salty makes up for chewiness in some pieces. The blanched noodles and cabbage are not seasoned at all - the low mein is supposed to be glowing with a rich coat of soy sauce - providing only texture and confusing taste of rawness. While we are provided with table-side salt, pepper and soy sauce, the flavoring is still missing. The seafood congee has the same issue; while both the rice and the various seafood ingredients are cooked to the right degrees, the complete lack of flavoring can't be overlooked. The stir-fry has a nice, mild undertone of ginger, but the stems are fiber-y and undercooked (result of being stir fried with the leaves without being separately blanched first), forcing us to leave behind the stems in a locust-swarm style. Overall, the serving sizes are quite huge for the price, good for gluttonous eaters and those who want a undemanding meal with some good char siu pork.

Very busy Sunday night. Shanghai Xiaolongbao is authentic but average. Xiaolongbao means…read morelittle-basket buns literally, which is from the Jiangnan region of China where I grew up. The broth inside the buns comes from melted aspic made from pork stock and skin. The Shanghai-style sweet & sour pork ribs look dull but taste great, highly recommended. BTW, if you do not like pork gristle, don't try it. The last dish we ordered is fish fillet in sizzling hot sauce. I'm not a fan of basa fillets and the whole dish is full of oil. It's Hunan/Xiang cuisine and they did not nail it.

This Ashfield Chinese restaurant is part of a four restaurant Taste of Shanghai chain with the…read moreothers located in the CBD and Eastwood. The menu is huge, however they are most well-known for the dumpling section. PORK AND CHIVE DUMPLING $8.80 (+$2 Fried) The skin was too thick compared to other dumpling specialists. The filling was tasty no complains here. PORK & PRAWN WONTON SOUP (12pcs) $8.80 The soup was light almost bland. I hope it's a simple soup not to overpower the wontons, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for that. The wontons were average, I would have preferred less wontons but more flavour. That's not a huge chip on the bowl, it's the spoon holder xD... SHANDONG CRISPY SKINNED CHICKEN $20.80 This a such a disappointing dish. The chicken was tough almost like it was cooked too quickly although it did take quite a while to come out. The sauce had too much ginger and too much overpowering sweetness. Ordered this with rice, and the rice was tough (probably an old batch). Complete fail, a Woolies roast chicken would have tasted better. Conclusion Now I understand why the line is at New Shanghai and not here. The dumplings were acceptable, the rest is pretty bad for these prices. The Shandong chicken is a fail and if that is an indication of the standard of the a-la-carte food I'm never going back here, I prefer to cook. @thesydneynoob

So I'll probably come back another day to fully satisfy myself.

Lucky for me, one of my friends had recommended this Taiwanese Dumpling restaurant. Having never ordered here before, the group of friends I was dining with ordered a variety of dishes that included a mix of 20 dumplings, fried vegetable noodles and two other items that were circled in the menu, indicating it was one of the restaurant's specials. These were the shallot pancake and the beef noodle soup, both of which were the favourite items by far I tasted there. The Beef Noodle Soup was very surprising, unlike the Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup, this Taiwanese version had large chunks of beef, that were slow cooked and so tender they melted in your mouth. The soup also had a slight sweet aroma to it, that made it unlike a lot of other noodle soup dishes I've tried before and tasted very delicious. The shallot pancake too was very crispy, had the texture of an oily, flaky, thin pizza bread, although tasted more similar to an indian roti bread with a hint of the onion flavour that the shallots added. This is a good place to visit when you're in a pickle and needing to pick a good restaurant to dine at on Burwood road.

It was very nice inside and receives high praise on Google Reviews. We shared the Mongolian Lamb. It was fabulous. We don't have any Mongolian Lamb in the Chinese restaurants near us in Arizona.

The best part of our meal was the bottled beer. The Mongolian beef was not cooked well, it was just soft and soggy in its sauce, which was overly sweet. It came out on a fajita platter sizzling, so truly impressive that it turned out as mushy as it did. There was a lot of potential for that dish to taste better. The stir fried noodles tasted like they had been cooked well at one point, but then frozen, reheated, and rinsed with water to remove any potential flavor that once existed. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty when we arrived, we were seated right in between two other occupied tables, which made it feel like we were all at one big dinner together instead of on our own separate date nights. The people working were very nice - just wish the food was better! This meal was one of our first meals in Sydney and made us really worried that all of our meals here would be overpriced and tasteless - thankfully, there are better options out there.

I have enjoyed everything we've eaten here, although the wonton soup and the other dumplings (especially the chicken corn) were particularly good. I would encourage anyone nearby to stop by and try it - they are superior to the average Chinese takeaway in that I saw them freshly chopping vegetables and making everything to order as we waited. They treated us to mandarin slices for a gratis dessert, and were keen to get our feedback about favorites from our meals. I can't speak highly enough about the warmth of the owners and the quality of service here - I would happily eat at this hole in the wall over a fancier alternative any day. Worth the short, scenic walk from Glebe's main strip, or easy to drive to and a bus route runs down Ross Street. They even have a happy hour for dumplings and some other menu items - so stop by for lunch if you're in the area!

Peking Duck Roti - 4/5 Shredded Peking duck with cucumber, hoisin sauce rolledinside a flaky Chinese roti. Tasty, good flavor...probably because of the Hoisin sauce.

Lychee & Mint Duck - 5/5 Our most popular roast duck with lychees served in a light mint and chilli plum sauce (half duck). I thought this sounded strange and didn't know what to expect...sooo glad I tried it! The flavor profile was just amazing. I thought the Lychee and plum would have mad the dish too sweet, but nope!
