So many restaurants to choose in Chinatown but so glad we chose Dragon Boat! A very comfortable…read morerestaurant with a good wine selection and menu including live seafood choices. Lots of choices made it hard to choose so we tried a few appetisers and mains. The service was very good and staff friendly. The food came quickly and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend the scallops and the crocodile. Standard choice of Asian desserts. Plenty of seating for couples, small or large groups. There are a few steps at the entry and restrooms are upstairs so not suitable for disabled access. All credit cards accepted including American Express. Highly recommended.

I've lost count of how many times we've been here and have been meaning to post a review on Yelp for a long time... And here I am finally! I'll get to it- Try the pan fried vegetarian dumplings, Thai fried rice, and the Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce- all incredible (like the rest of the menu, I'm sure). The owners are lovely people and are always happy to accommodate our vegetarian diet. They have made vegetarian Ma-po tofu for us before- also super delish. They make their dumplings daily and you can see them being made when you walk past on Victoria Street. I've posted photos of the take-out menu I have at home but I'll post photos of the food next time I'm there... Which will be soon I hope!!

A hankering for dumplings usually means a tram ride city to go to Chinatown or drive to Richmond. I…read morewas excited by the prospect of getting dumplings a little closer to home now that the cold winter nights have set in. So Ms. Four and I headed off down Smith Street to check out Bowl Bowl and (in her words) "smash some dumpling Dad!" It didn't disappoint. Service was great - our waiter helped us settle the pan fried vs steamed argument by choosing the combinations for us. The food and drinks were prompt - the service was attentive. The 'Water bomb" dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) were the highlight - perfectly sized to comfortably eat in one go and the broth was delicious. We also really enjoyed the Salt & Pepper chicken on rice - crispy and not oily what-so-ever. The waitstaff took care to put the spicy seasoning in a side dish so that Ms. Four could eat it. The restaurant itself was comfortable, simple and clean - the kitchen looked clean and organised. Given it's in the neighbourhood and the service was good I'd happily go for mid-week dumplings there again.

We decided on this one because the prices were good and it looked like a small Mom and Pop restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised with the large menu selection.

Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs…read more Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs The secret is out and they *will* make more. These atomic bombs of flavor and heat are my favorite dish on the planet. After the privilege of trying them once, we came home and began a long saga of attempts to duplicate the dish. After all, they don't deliver to the other side of the world... Well, after numerous unsuccessful attempts, we gave up in frustration. But then, years later, we had the opportunity to return and order the same dish. It was incredible and just as we remembered. Spicy, crunchy, tender morsels of atomic goodness. It cannot be duplicated. Just head down the dark alley and up the few steps in to this mecca of Sichuan taste sensation. You won't regret it. Or, better yet, order some "to go" and SHIP THEM TO US NOW.

As I walked inside, I was taken at how small and quaint this place was. The hostess said, "You must be Cosmo." I laughed and said yes- I must've been the only one to make a reservation that night! There was a small bar as I walked in, and I was guided to the dining room, where there were a few other diners sitting, about half full. I was shown to my table and given a menu. She handed me a menu, and asked if I wanted water, to which I said yes, tap was fine. She left me as I perused the menu, and she quickly returned with water and pointed out the board behind me, which had all the fresh fish and specials of the day. I wanted Lobster, and happily, I saw it on the board. I asked which of the prawn starters was better, and she offered a taste of both! I then ordered a lobster. I ordered green beans on the side. I also ordered a cold beer, which she brought immediately. I was brought a plate of 2 prawns which were both divine, and then another plate with another 2 prawns, and they were divine as well. I am glad I was given the option. And then my main course came, beautifully prepared, large chunks of lobster in the shell. The Green Beans were beautiful, and I must say, some of the best I have ever had! Cooked perfectly, and the almonds were delicious. The lobster was to die for- tender and flavorful, cooked perfectly. I savored each bite. I ordered a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc with my lobster, and then had a cheese plate to finish. I sat there finishing my wine and enjoying the cheese. What a great dinner! I paid my bill, and all the staff thanked me, and I left, yearning to come back one day. For now, it will be a wonderful memory...
