I realise now that for the past four or so years, I've been misnaming this restaurant - we've always known it as Princes Room. Regardless of the name, the food is just downright good here - the menu features all the favourites, chicken & cashew, beef & black bean sauce, honey king prawns, etc, but also some deeper dishes, kung po chicken (lashings of whole flamed chilli's) and kway teo (my favourite flat rice noodles with a thick black sauce)
Decor is also classical chinese restaurant - huge fish tanks featuring gigantic goldfish swimming back and forth, red and gold trim abounds, and you can have a nice big table with a lazy susan to help share your dishes around. It's worth noting that even when the house is quite empty, there is a steady trade in takeaway - it's pretty clear Prince Room is one of the more popular chinese offerings in Campbelltown.
Parking is a little tight on a busy night - there's off street parking out back, turn left just past the building, but it does get full and can be a pain to turn a big car around in - luckily the side streets aren't permit only like so many in the city, so you'll be able to park and take a stroll back.
I love the food here - it's simple cuisine, but they do what they do so, so well. Crispy duck is full of flavour, and like it should be, crispy. Sizzling platters turn up sizzling like they should. Singapore noodles are rich and rewarding and the curry flavour doesn't overpower the dishes you eat them with. The batter on the honey king prawns is light and crisp and the honey is sweet and glossy again without being too much. Prince Room offers you a sample of exactly how chinese should be done - and the pricing reflects excellent value for food this good. read more
