What a tragic error choosing to dine here . We decided that a chinese meal would be a perfect Sunday evening end to the weekend. I should have read the other reviews. OK the decor is something out of a time warp but that is no excuse for the pathetic buffet offering The food of offer was lukewarm, lacked of any real variety, was left as if they expected us to just put up with leftovers as the trays were nearly empty, were not replenished and was bland at best. On a Sunday evening the buffet price is surcharged and I feel we were completely fleeced In a nutshell - CRAP

This is one of those restaurants that has been around for something like forever, though I have to…read moreadmit that the only reason I know this is because I lived in Adelaide for a bulk of my life, so I would see this place everytime we went up this way. Well, I decided to visit it and have a meal here, and I have to admit that the meal really wasn't all that bad. It turns out that this place has been around for thirty years, and it is pretty much one of those Asian-Fusion restaurants, namely those Chinese restaurants that have pretty much grown up in a Western land. Yeah, it's not bad.

It IS sichuan cuisine so it'll be spicy and numb your mouth at the same time. They don't mess around with the spice and if you don't like that, try somewhere else. I've never been to china and can't comment on authenticity, but it's certainly different than "westernized" chinese food. Just a warning for you! I've had lots of dishes and love them all, and recommend grabbing a few friends so you can order lots and share it. Just writing this review makes me want to head back for more boiled fish...

I came here for dinner with a group of friends and a bottle of wine and had an excellent time. By…read morethe end of it I had a double dose of pink - pink wine cheeks and pink chilli lips. Ba Guo Bu Yi is an excellent new (well over a year old now..) addition to the Gouger St strip of restaurants. While affordable for a casual night out, it is a little pricier than your East Tastes or your Kowloons. With good reason - the food is great. The menu is huge with lots of pictures for those of us who aren't familiar with the more traditional items on the menu. For the faint of heart, there is a good range of mild dishes. But I really enjoyed some of the more unusual stuff. Not like tripe and chicken's feet unusual. More like a big dish of thinly sliced pork, stuffed with sliced cucumber and loads of garlic, swimming in a delicious szechuan chilli sauce. W.O.W. Everything I tried was delicious. Shout-out for the dumplings too. I would love to go back with a bigger group so I can try more.

Some places around are real expensive, and honestly they all serve the same thing of a similar quality. It's not the nicest dining area in the food court, but at least it's a little quieter than other's and the crowd is alright. Not that I often spend too much time in The Village, but when I am around at lunch time, I pop past for a bite, well a ginormous lunch really.

Today we had the pleasure of dining at East Taste Cafe which was first established in 2003 on…read moreGouger st, the heart of Adelaide's China Town. It was relatively empty when we walked in but it was still very early but most of the tables had "reserved" signs on them. In fact, by the time we were leaving every table was full and there was a lot of good eating being had! The dining room was definitely very clean and that normally gives me confidence in the food that's going to come out of the kitchen. Our waiter was just so adorable he could have sold us anything! He was happy to engage in a bit of non intrusive small talk and we just thought he was so cute we had a photo with him. Such a lovely man and definitely an asset to this place. We decided to order a few different things from the menu and share. We started with a serve each of the Shallot Cake. All I can say is "wow"! They were seemingly so simple, yet so full of flavour. The outer pastry was crunchy and light while the inside was gooey and full of the gorgeous shallot taste. I'm so glad we opted for a serve each! Just looking at that picture is making me wish I was eating them again. Not too sure about the carrot and cabbage on the side. I just think it's better to have nothing than to have something that can only work as a "filler". There was no dressing on it, just a bit of colour on the side. That's a very minor criticism though! This was really a great way to start our meal. We chose three items to share, Coriander Chicken, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef and Vegetarian Fried Rice. I must confess, I had to stop myself from gobbling it all up myself instead of sharing. Every dish was just so full of flavour and made you want to eat more and more. First the chicken... I know some people don't like Coriander. I don't get it, but I know it. This was very heavy on the coriander which just lifted this dish. The chicken was tender and everything else on this plate just married so nicely together. My favourite of the night though was definitely the sizzling beef. Our waiter brought it to our table and did the final preparations before placing it down, sizzling heavily, on our table. It smelt so divine!!! And honestly, I don't know how they get their beef to be so tender! It was just a pleasure to eat. It was definitely a different flavour combination to the chicken, yet was equally, if not more flavoursome in its own way. I could have had double this serve on my own but had to show restraint! The mushrooms were definitely a stand out. Finally the fried rice was again, just perfect fried rice. Again I tried to think of what they could have done to improve it and really, there was nothing! It was not too full of ingredients and there was a slight smokiness to it all. I could have had a full serve of this to myself too!! We were really in raptures over everything and as mentioned, by the time we left, the place was full and buzzing! I'm glad we'd got there early, enabling us to have a bit of a chat with our waiter. The fact that he was passionate about the food they produce was evident. I really can't wait to go back again!

This is the perfect place to go if you are hungry, hangry, hungover or a little hoppy happy…read more My party of 6 arrived at 7pm for dinner just as my hanger did and luckily we had BYO'd a bottle of sparkling red to subdue the stomach rumbling. It's cheap to BYO but they also have a pretty good range of wine on the menu for the same price as buying booze at the bottlo next door. Food and service was incredibly quick and friendly and they staff were happy to bring out our order in stages as we all tried to decide what we were going to eat. Shallot cakes were the highlight (as usual), as was the prawn and veggie dish and BBC. We also ordered a pretty simple asian broccoli (a bit watery for my liking), tofu with chicken hot pot and smoked tea duck dish (well flavoured and another highlight for the non-vegos who come here). It was good value and if you are vego I think you would easily fall in love with this place because of the huge range of vego dishes on the menu. Maybe we didn't order the right things, or enough food, or I wasn't drink enough, but it was still a pleasant 3.5 for our night out.

I must say this is probably some of the most amazing Chinese food I have ever eaten…read more The decor of the restaurant is modern asian and very decadent. Service fairly quick however a few language issues did occur. I was enjoying it too much to take photos... but some things the four of us ordered were: * Crispy Golden Prawn Ball Dumpling ($9.5) -served w/ Sweet Chilli Sauce (3) - Probably the most boring part of the meal. * Traditional Peking Duck - ($65) Whole Duck 16 Pancakes [for 3-4p] - Just Delicious! Wonderful :) * Chicken Black Peppercorn ($19.5) - The chicken was unbelievably tender, fresh and brilliantly flavoured. I believe that was all I can recall as it was a few months ago but gosh it was an amazing meal - well done Lychie :)

This restaurant is in a large well utilised space. It looked fantastic and felt warm and inviting…read more Staff were extremely profession yet still came across and nice and friendly. The waiter told us it was an award winning restaurant (with trip advisor ) which set expectation high from the start. So we shared and ordered from the entree menu. First San chow bow which was nice but mine was a little over filled and therefore I couldn't roll it properly so it dripped. But was yummy. King prawn dumplings where really nice. We had 2 each. I quite liked these however they had been drizzled with chilli oil which we both found too too hot. It spoiled the dish really. Soft shell crab was perfectly delicious. Except also drizzled with the chilli oil really people? We want to taste the food. My friend was perfectly happy at this point I however was a little underwhelmed. Dessert made up for it. Banana fritters with ice cream and caramel drizzled around. Oh yes! We topped that off with a shot of kalua each and a fortune cookie. Fortune cookie tasted fabulous, my fortune message? Yeah not really happy with that. I liked it here. Others had ordered sizzling meals and we could smell them it was a Devine aroma. Just not good to inhale the fumes of chilli oil too deeply. If your not into chilli hotness might be best to let them know here.
