Iron chef is a nicely sized and well spaced restaurant nestled in Mawson…read more Food: Nothing really special here. What they have on offer, from combination chow mein to laksa and fried rice, is available virtually anywhere in Canberra. The food are cooked well, mind you, but there is no defining dish (or reason for you to travel here) for this restaurant that you can not find elsewhere. Which is a little sad because they have called themselves a Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant but has nothing that differentiate it much from other "Asian restaurants". Prices are all right and they do takeaways as well. One of those restaurants where only if you are nearby and you want Asian food, you can visit but there's more choices within a 5 minute drive. Service: Very friendly and prompt service :) Atmosphere: Both times I went were during weekdays, it was quiet and comfortable. No blaring music nor tight spaces and the staffs don't hurry you along when you are eating.

Interesting business model. I'm a local and the food is ok. Nothing special but ok. Ordered from…read morethem a couple of weeks ago through an online service and was charged a $5 delivery fee I wasn't told about. I complained to the site about the lack of information. I went to order from them again (for convenience of online ordering) and they have refused my order. Guess they don't want my business.

Is it just me or is Chinese food having a bit of a renaissance these days? This gem,…read morewell-frequented by locals - as well as visiting politicians, if you don't mind - is a shining example of this new found affection for Chinese that goes a bit beyond the basics of just chicken and cashew and beef and black bean. You will still find the classics on the back page of its plentiful menu, but the true star dishes are on the front - the Yin Tai Chicken, the crispy fish, the crab entree - my mouth is watering just thinking about it. It's become a family regular and somehow we can always get a table, despite it being a popular restaurant that is still quite intimate. The service is friendly and familiar, and helpfully the restaurant is BYO (there's a bottle shop around the corner).

Fantastic joint for Chinese. Consistent, delicious and friendly owners. Dan is the head chef and…read morehe is a passionate guy. Definitely swing by for some salt and pepper prawns. My other favourite is the chilli beef and prawn toast. Book ahead to avoid disappointment or take away and enjoy in the comfort of your home.

Great food and good service made our first visit to China Town Restaurant a pleasure. Our only…read moregripe is the size of the restaurant is on the small size, which means small, cafe-style tables have been used. The tables are too small to accommodate the plates, glasses, etc, which made juggling our meals a little awkward. The restaurant is not licensed but there are two bottle shops close by, from where you can BYO. It's great to know we have quality Chinese food at our local shopping centre.
