So, it was raining, I had just finished a terrible shift work and it felt like my stomach had…read morecollapsed into an aching black hole. Conscious of the fact that I needed to eat something before my stomach began to munch on my already struggling liver, I ran into the first place I saw: Yuet Wah. Now, I normally hate ordering takeout for one because you always end up with too much rice and too much of one particular meal. On occasion I have compensated for this by buying two different meals with the intention of saving some for leftovers - only to find myself 30 minutes later with peking sauce all over my face and shirt with not a morsel left. My binge eating problem aside, Yuet Wah has an excellent range of solo diner options that includes both rice and a reasonable serving of a particular meal. Being the stinge I am I was ecstatic when I discovered that I was able to receive all of this for less then $10!! As I waited for my meal I began to check the rest of restaurant out. The dining area was a little uninspired but perfectly practical. There were tables, chairs and wine buckets, but that was pretty much it. I began to wonder what this place was before it was a restaurant that seems to offer meals from every single country in Asia. It quite clearly used to be a house. What type of people used to live in a house that is now a takeaway restaurant? The point I'm getting at is that the atmosphere wasn't convincing and seemed induce bouts of nostalgia. When I returned home I quickly ate my Mongolian Lamb with rice on my bed watching some documentary hosted by Oprah about the holocaust. As you can tell it wasn't the best evening ever but it may have had very little to do with my trip to Yuet Wah. The food was decent but it isn't something you'd write home about. Regardless I licked the takeaway container clean and went to bed.

I must…read moreadmit, if it was not for the "Daily Lunch Specials" board they have at the front, I probably never would have discovered this place. I am now a die-hard fan of SunFay. The location of this place is a little awkward, it is in between an Op shop and a 7-11 and there is not much going in the front display apart from a really old looking menu and the specials board. Now onto that "specials board"- this place offers a large selection of meals for only $6.50 at lunch time! And these are not small serves either, they all include a serve of rice or fried rice (I always go for the fried rice). Not only that, but they are pretty tasty too! I really like their "Beef in Black bean Sauce", it is generous with the amount of beef and vegetables the give. The service is pretty quick too so if you are just after a quick cheap meal, this place is a very sensible option. This place just goes to show, a bad restaurant layout does not always mean bad food. Next time you are looking for a place to grab lunch in the area, consider SunFay.

I had takeaway food (wonton soup and fried rice) from here today and I was left with a few…read morethoughts. First of all, the broth from the soup was virtually tasteless, which was disappointing as the wontons were delicious. The fried rice was inedible as the meat smelled foul - as if it was several days past its use by date... And its just now that I realized the same meat was in the wonton soup, too. Oh goody, I think i'm in for a treat in the next few days. The staff were polite when I came to pick up my food. I didn't even need to ask for my order because the owner came out with everything ready to go; I simply paid and left. I am inclined to say that the prices were quite high for what I received, especially in the case of the fried rice. I wouldn't visit here again.

Vegetarian rolls were tasty, not greasy at all. We also got a plate of "gon siu yee meen" vegetarian e-fu noodles which were again not greasy. We ended with a panna cotta which absolutely blew me away! Perfect texture and density.

This yum cha (dim sum) place is a fancier version of the ones that have usually been in existence in Brisbane and is packed! I met my god-parents for lunch -- there were 6 of us -- on a Saturday around 11.30am. The place was already buzzing. The booth seating is uncomfortable and awkward. We are boxed in and squished. The steamed dim sum was sub-par.... the dumpling wrappers are mushy and thick. They fell apart the minute I picked them up with my chopsticks. The har gow and the seafood dumplings -- in fact, any of the dumplings that have the same wrapper -- all possessed this terrible wrapper. I don't recommend it. Seen juk guen (beancurd rolls) were really dense with a filling that is almost completely meat and nothing else. Flavor-wise it was fine. Chicken's feet were decent, with the claws cooked to a good consistency so it fell off the bone. The fried items were much better. The woo gok filled with taro was good -- nice and crumbly on the outside and the filling a good consistency. My favorite was the fried radish cake which were little nuggets of perfectly tender radish cake fried to a crispy perfection. The crispy pork belly (siu yuk) was awful. The fat is not rendered through well enough making the pork pieces unpleasant to eat. Service is hit and miss as well. One minute someone is efficient coming around to refill water, and then, nothing even when you ask for it. Maybe I'm comparing it to dim sum places in the US, but it's weird to me that they didn't have Chinese mustard (gai lat) when my son asked for it. The one thing I love about Chinese restaurants in Australia is that they give you soy sauce with slices of hot chile peppers in them. Wish restaurants in the US would offer this to you as a regular condiment.

There's some great areas in Brisbane I go to when I want Chinese food (The Valley, Darra etc) and I eat my head off and pay bubkiss. So why do I have to pay a fortune to eat in suburban Toowong? I guess if you're totally desperate and craving and stuck in Toowong you could grab a takeaway here (as previously mentioned by Stephanie the service is crud so avoid eat in) but I'd rather raid my pantry, buy some Chinese greens at Coles and make my own. Or better yet drive 20 mins to The Valley and eat there.

The food produced at China Kitchen is of fairly high quality though and probably offers the best Chinese food in Toowong. China Kitchen have obviously worked hard to make their restaurant look mighty swanky- the place is coated in shiny black and red, this creates a very chic atmosphere. As much as I like the food, I found communication with the staff to be difficult. Also, little things like table water get forgotten. For a restaurant that charges around $20 per dish, you would expect better service. As I have friends that live close by, I have ordered takeaway from here too. Takeaway is great option as the prices are friendlier and you do not have to complain about service when you do so. I remember being satisfied with all the dishes I have tried from here, the Mongolian Beef (always a winner in my books) is particularly good. If you want good Chinese Food in the Brisbane Western suburbs, China Kitchen is a good choice. Word of warning though- it is not the cheapest Chinese restaurant by far.

My family have been going here for ages, yes even though it's in a food court, it may as well be a restaurant seeing how busy it gets during peak hours, even though there's a chinese stirfry place right next door literally to this place. These people aren't silly... they know where to get the good stuff. These people namely chinese students that are studying at The University of Queensland. I recommend all the above, the actual buffet food is okay too, the curry puffs have always been a favourite of mine.

They've also got a quite good 'Hainanese Chicken Rice' which comes with an undrinkably hot broth, so you might want to ask for an ice cube to cool it down. As for the service, they may never smile at you or utter much other than "What you want?" but if you keep going there long enough, they might start giving you chopsticks instead of a fork. It's then you know that they've welcomed you into their hearts.
