Not sure I've necessarily had Nanjing food before but the menu is similar to Taiwanese menu of soup dumplings, fried dumplings, Chinese donuts and noodles with the yummy chopped pickled greens. The signature dish is the Nanjing style duck. Unfortunately, I'm sensitive to gaminess and I found this (and the soup) slightly gamey. However, excellent alternate signature dish of the spareribs on noodles (delicious sweet and vinegary sourness) as well as great dumplings - the xiao lung baos had a unique sweetness to them. We enjoyed it so much that we ended our trip with breakfast there before heading to the airport.

There's a few tables for sit down inside seating 12 tables and seats 2-4 per table. Location is very lovely as the kitchen is right there as well. You order and pay first, they give you a number and you can pick a table later. Or you can find a table to whine down and then go and order. Whatever you decide, eating here at 9:41am on a Thursday is quiet and enjoyable. Unfortunately there is no parking here. If you got here by a car, best to find a nearby parking lot underground and find your way here. The soup-based dumplings here are SUPER FRESH as they are handmade when ordered. You can taste the fresh ingredients and savory of the meat and texture of the soft dumplings flours. Oh what a joy to had in the morning midst as it sprinkles outside for a warm and cozy breakfast. The Redbean Pork Buns are also very tasty filled with premium REAL red bean and not just the paste-based. You can see and taste the read beans. The bun itself is very soft and delicious. Recommending this for anyone for dine in or take away.

The so called fried rice, was basically some rice with a few bits of I think it may have been the ends of shallots and of course I had to pay for some prawns in it. They would have made at least $19 on the rice alone. What an utter wrought. A take away for me is somewhat of a luxury these days and not something I indulge myself in very much at all. What a rotten way to run a business not giving a f.......... about customers or how they spoil their meals. Shame on the Chef and the owners. Paying $50 for two items and neither were edible is a darn disgrace in anyones eyes. Sad thing is, they all keep getting away with it.

My husband and I were visiting Sydney and had several people recommend Chinese Noodle House so we…read morehad to check it out. We really had no idea what to get, so ordered a full order of steamed pork dumplings, a chicken pancake, and a order of fried noodle with beef. Everything came out as it was ready and was piping hot, perfect for the cool evening. The chicken pancake was my favorite, it reminded me of a burrito but with a delicate wrap. The noodles and dumplings were also very good! In what I believe is northern Chinese fashion, both had a slightly thicker feel than I am used to but I loved how it gave the noodles such a unique chew and made the dish feel so substantial. This is definitely worth a visit if you are in the Sydney area, but do not confuse it with Chinese Noodle Restaurant next door!

Very nice Chinese/ Malaysian restaurant in the Circular Quay area of Sydney…read more They use Halal standards for food handling and prep. We dined in the upstairs portion of the restaurant ( which is tucked in a multi use building ). Service was friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious. Fresh seafood. Fresh veggies. Portions were decent sized. They do have some pricing quirks to be aware of: There is a minimum spend per person and I believe it varies with party size. They charge a 10% surcharge on Sundays. Not sure if this standard in other restaurants but I doubt it. I'm mentioning it so diners on Sunday are aware. I liked the food enough that I just chalked it up to a vacation u expected expense. I'd eat there again if I had the chance. Notorious MD approved!

Thankfully,…read morethe restaurant was pretty empty (7.30pm on a Friday...hmmm), they seated 7 of us at a big table in a corner. FOOD -- One can choose either the buffet ($25pp) or the ala carte menu. Note that the buffet does not include the soup base (ranging from $12-$16) or sauces (about $1.20 per type of sauce). We (bunch of finance geeks) spent over 15 mins debating if it was cheaper to do the buffet. In the end we chose not to. It turned out to be a good decision, cause the meal cost each of us around $21pp (excluding softdrinks). We ordered about 20-22 plates of veggies/meat. The food was pretty good, everything was quite fresh. My favourites are probably the spam & beef rolls. Who knew spam tasted so good when boiled in spicy broth ? :) SERVICE -- A.R.G.H. This is the only reason why Im giving this restaurant a 3 star instead of a 4. Ordering through the iPad is a stupid idea because you can only see 2-3 items per "page", so it was time consuming to "go-through" the menu. (especially when i am HUNGRY, A.R.G.H) Getting the attention of a waitress/waiter was the worst. Maybe because we were sitting in a corner but it was almost impossible to catch their attention. We gave up and took turns to walk over to the cashier counter each time we needed something from them. A.R.G.H They should consider doing what some korean restaurants do - putting an alert/bell system on each table. Lastly, I heard from my guy friends that the male bathroom was NASTY ! (boo!!)

The unique thing about this place is that they gave protective sleeves for your jackets because hotpot smells tend to stay with clothing for some time. Average spend is around $30 for the all you can eat menu (and also unlimited softdrink, but don't fill up on soft drink) which is very fair when there are other places which charge about $35 (without the drink thing).

The best part of our meal was the bottled beer. The Mongolian beef was not cooked well, it was just soft and soggy in its sauce, which was overly sweet. It came out on a fajita platter sizzling, so truly impressive that it turned out as mushy as it did. There was a lot of potential for that dish to taste better. The stir fried noodles tasted like they had been cooked well at one point, but then frozen, reheated, and rinsed with water to remove any potential flavor that once existed. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty when we arrived, we were seated right in between two other occupied tables, which made it feel like we were all at one big dinner together instead of on our own separate date nights. The people working were very nice - just wish the food was better! This meal was one of our first meals in Sydney and made us really worried that all of our meals here would be overpriced and tasteless - thankfully, there are better options out there.

Chilies, chilies, chilies! You'd be hard-pressed to find a Szechuan specialty without a red hot…read morechili as the essential ingredient. Everyone's had Chinese food before, but it's once you focus on regional cuisines that you start appreciating the discrepancies within this massive culinary realm. The most famous Chinese restaurant in Sydney happens to be purely Szechuan. Luckily for me, Glebe is home to Spicy Szechuan, where I've had some of the best Chinese food yet. They surely don't skimp on quality at this place; most of the plates are large and are so packed with flavor that you instantly forget that Chinese takeout exists. Don't come here if you're vegetarian--the best dishes have succulent pork, moist chicken, and tender beef. The crispy deep-fried chicken with chilies is to die for. A half-chicken is fried to crunchy perfection and smothered in a bright red chili oil sauce. It's hard to explain, but the dried chili is just as vital to taste as it is for the heat level of the dish. But if I could recommend one thing, it would have to be the fish flavored eggplant (yu xiang qie zi). The name is a misnomer as there's no fish, but only meaty eggplant slices, ground pork, and a thick spicy sauce that is unparalleled in flavor. It might be the best version of this dish I've had. Oh, and sometimes there are tour buses parked in the front. It's that good.

We ordered the spicy boiled fish, dan dan noodles, and scallion pancakes. All were very good! I'm knocking off 2 stars because of our overall experience. I consider myself an understanding customer. I kept an open mind and came here for the food, not the service. However, the treatment we received was beyond terrible. They make their customers order on tablets, which is totally fine. The problem was that the UI is completely in Chinese. Sure, there are photos of the food items, but all the buttons were in Chinese. I couldn't find an option to switch to English either. I'm not Chinese and cannot read Chinese, so I was very flustered. When I asked a waitress for help, she looked at me like I was a complete moron. She had the face like "duh, this is the button to add an item". So rude. This interaction definitely dampened by overall experience of the place. Conclusion: The food here is great, but you may experience a hard time if you are not a Mandarin speaker.
