Yeah, this place was definitely one of those places worth checking out.

The one thing that I like about living in Preston is the number of authentic Asian restaurants…read moredotted along High Street. Ever since going to Hong Kong I have had a hankering for proper Chinese food. This isn't the food that you find at the Chinese stall in the food hall, but rather a restaurant owned and run by Chinese, and the worse their English, the more authentic the restaurant tends to be. Okay, it's not Hong Kong, but then again unless you are willing to put aside a week to travel there and back, these restaurants are probably the best that you are going to get. This certainly wasn't a bad restaurant. The staff were ever friendly, and it certainly seems popular, and they also have chop-sticks, which for me is an absolute must when it comes to eating Chinese food. The cool thing about these restaurants is that they have pictures of all the dishes, so you can just flick through the menu and point to the dish you want. However, be careful not to make the mistake that I made and point to the wrong one because you might end up with a meal that you don't particularly like. Oh, I better not forget, they also have pots of Chinese tea for $1.00 each, which is also pretty cool.

Ok so the Noodle Kingdom in Preston has a few noticeable differences from its city sister. Theres…read moreno fancy red and gold wallpaper and theres no suits. The clientele is mainly Preston locals and the destination diners. The menu is exactly the same and I am grateful for this. Over lunch and weeknights this place experiences the same peak hour rush as the city Noodle Kingdom but due to the suburban location of this restaurant theres a slightly more relaxed vibe. Its not unusual to see people waiting five deep in a queue for the freshly prepared dumplings and noodles. I've already detailed my fetish for their dumplings and the no 29 (beef/noodles) however you can add the no 94 (fried chicken/noodles) and beef skewers to the list. The beef skewers are a grilled/spiced cummin delight and great to chew on. Prices are cheap and the service is blunt, this place delivers consistently great food, however a word of warning, go easy on the chilli.

An fairly below-average Vietnamese-Chinese restaurant on the Victoria Parade strip…read more After a long run with my lady, we came upon this because it was open late and we were hungry. Naturally, they ran out of shrimp dishes by the time we arrived. So we settled for some poached chicken and a vegetable dish with sauce. The chicken was oily and the rice had to be used to help soak up the juice. The vegetables were... saucy. And I hate "Chinese mushrooms" that were dried and have to be reconstituted. Green tea came in tea bags... not cool in my opinion. Why am I paying $2 for a tea bag? I could've brought one myself. Loose leaf tea is cheaper anyway. One good thing? Open until 10PM on a Wednesday night. Would not recommend this place unless you can't find anywhere else to eat. A more healthy version than McDonalds.... maybe.

I placed an order with Uber Eats 5 days ago for food to celebrate Chinese New Year's with friends…read more During lunch today I received a message that one item I had ordered was not available. I changed the order and arranged for a pick up between 7 and 7.30 pm. I then received a message shortly after 7 to inform me that my order had been cancelled. Leaving me no time to arrange an alternative meal. I knew Chinese New Year's would be busy and placed my order several days in advance. This is the service I have received tonight from both China Bar and Uber eats. My guests and I will now be celebrating the New Year with what ever I can find. I am unlikely to find a quality Chinese restaurant that can deliver an authentic Chinese dinner for the celebration. Please keep this story in mind if using Uber Eats or ordering from China Bar. A cancellation with 2 hours notice would be unacceptable but for a cancellation at the exact time of the pick up is both incompetent and totally thoughtless.

The place doesn't really have a waiting area, so it would be a good idea to order in advance over the phone to avoid standing around. We walked in half an hour before they were due to close, we weren't rushed to place an order, staff was polite and allowed us to take our time. Menu is easy to understand, good descriptions of all meals and lots of variety. We ordered the Singapore noodles, which were delicious. Also got some prawn and chicken dumplings, which were incredible. They were a good size, juicy and flavourful and came with three different Dipping sauces. Toilets were filthy though, and place needs an update, but food is classic and delicious. Will definitely return!

No, that is not decoration, that is somebody's meal - yep, it's one of those restaurants were you pick your meal before they catch it, take it a way, and cook it. Mind you, I have never had a meal like that, namely because the portion is so huge that I am unlikely to finish it all one my lonesome, though I did notice that when I was in Hong Kong, a lot of the restaurants did operate that way. As for this one, it did have a really authentic feel about it, and they even had decent chopsticks as opposed to those really tacky ones you find in other restaurants. The food does come out reasonably quickly, and are fair sized portions, but at least they let you take it home in a container.

Second time was around Christmas with another family, dinner was slightly better, thinking it might be worth a next visit. But what a great disappointment we had! 1. Treasure Duck $68.80 - was highly recommended by our server, but the taste was just blend and yuck. The meat is dry, duck felt like it was refrigerated for a long time. Will NOT trust their recommendations, as business is brisk, hence chef will tend to pressure servers to promote the over-stock, esp. the pricier ones. Lesson learned. 2. Gourd/Pork/Bean pot $22.80 - just horrible taste, the ingredients do not go well at all! Greasy, ill-looking that the first look kills your appetite immediately. 3. Mushroom & Melon $20.80 - half-hearted done dish, melon was cut in huge pieces, not even skinned properly, mushroom is tasteless, yet another failure. 4. Sponge Gourd with Tofu $20.80 - this was the dish we came back for, had a very good experience prior BUT totally disappointed this time. Tofu was over-fried (darken brown skin), very greasy stock compared to before. Inconsistent. 5. Hwa Diao Chicken $22.80 - overcooked chicken, dry and blend, will not recommend. 6. Stir Fried Beans - average 7. Steam Fish - average 8. Braised Beef Shank - average Change of head chef or someone in the kitchen not doing a proper job. This is the result of bad management. Definitely NOT returning, beware and good luck if you do book.
