I fly out tmr and this was the a great way to end a trip. And if your a kid or teen ..your in luck! They spoil you! They brought me a little cup of ice cream and a mars bar.

A lot of locals eat here and would highly recommend

We ordered combination short soup, mongolian lamb, beef sambol, sizzling fillet steak and special fried rice. We went and picked it up (not sure if they do delivery to Randwick) and when we returned home the food was still hot and VERY delicious. One of the best Chinese feeds I've had in a long time. We will definitely be eating at Bambusia from now on.

Very busy Sunday night. Shanghai Xiaolongbao is authentic but average. Xiaolongbao means…read morelittle-basket buns literally, which is from the Jiangnan region of China where I grew up. The broth inside the buns comes from melted aspic made from pork stock and skin. The Shanghai-style sweet & sour pork ribs look dull but taste great, highly recommended. BTW, if you do not like pork gristle, don't try it. The last dish we ordered is fish fillet in sizzling hot sauce. I'm not a fan of basa fillets and the whole dish is full of oil. It's Hunan/Xiang cuisine and they did not nail it.

This Ashfield Chinese restaurant is part of a four restaurant Taste of Shanghai chain with the…read moreothers located in the CBD and Eastwood. The menu is huge, however they are most well-known for the dumpling section. PORK AND CHIVE DUMPLING $8.80 (+$2 Fried) The skin was too thick compared to other dumpling specialists. The filling was tasty no complains here. PORK & PRAWN WONTON SOUP (12pcs) $8.80 The soup was light almost bland. I hope it's a simple soup not to overpower the wontons, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for that. The wontons were average, I would have preferred less wontons but more flavour. That's not a huge chip on the bowl, it's the spoon holder xD... SHANDONG CRISPY SKINNED CHICKEN $20.80 This a such a disappointing dish. The chicken was tough almost like it was cooked too quickly although it did take quite a while to come out. The sauce had too much ginger and too much overpowering sweetness. Ordered this with rice, and the rice was tough (probably an old batch). Complete fail, a Woolies roast chicken would have tasted better. Conclusion Now I understand why the line is at New Shanghai and not here. The dumplings were acceptable, the rest is pretty bad for these prices. The Shandong chicken is a fail and if that is an indication of the standard of the a-la-carte food I'm never going back here, I prefer to cook. @thesydneynoob

I'm not the biggest fan of spicy food and hence don't go to Sichuan restaurants that often, but I…read morewent with a few friends on a trip to Sydney and it turned out to be quite delicious! We ordered a few things to share for the table. The peking duck was really juicy, but the "tortilla"-shaped wrap was a bit strange as I'm used to the fluffy white baos. Green string beans were cooked very nicely -- quite a staple of Chinese food. The fried chicken came in a bowl of half chicken and half chili -- it looks really scary for someone not a big fan of spicy, but the chili added a good kick to the chicken and made it hard to stop eating it. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fish doused in a spicy oily sauce, and again full of chilis. The sauce itself was really spicy with all the sichuan pepper but the fish itself was so tender and juicy.

This place is perfect for a group dinner (we were 12): it is fun to try lots of different dishes, and they have some private rooms or large tables. Yes, do not expect a Michelin star service level...it can be quite slow and you might have to ask several times for the same thing, but staff remains friendly and when you are a large group you tend to be more forgiving! We ordered numerous dishes from dumplings to sweet potato pancake and more original options - the chefs special fish fillet was a standout as well as the lamb ribs. Veggies are yummy (but a bit oily), notably the fried eggplant and green beans with pork. We had a fun night and are just the right amount for 36$ pp (incl drinks), worth visiting !

Ambience seemed old skool China with eclectic decor. We were promptly greeted and seated by our hostess and our server followed suit shortly thereafter. Menu selection is extensive and we started our meal with a bottle of wine as well as an appetizer of two (deep fried) spring rolls. We also ordered two bowls of their famous chicken corn soup and in all reality, one bowl was sufficient enough to share between two people. It was hot and delicious. Main entrees included a black pepper steak which came out sizzling on a platter and reminded me of beef fajitas & pork with vegetables and chow mein noodles. I am not a big pork eater so I ate the vegetables and both entrees were very flavorful and fresh. Top of the meal wasn't dessert; it was chuckling over the robot that was carrying the dishes to the tables with a cute cat face blinking with a meow lol.

You walk up the stairs into the restaurant and the ambiance is great-- clean, organized, welcoming. We are all uni students dining on a budget and the dishes are a bit pricier, but the portions are pretty big, so good if sharing or eating family style. There's a wide variety of food options, so there's something for everyone. Presentation of all the food was great and gave the feeling of authentic dishes. Service was fine, a little slow. It was a busy night, so we had to wave them down, but they also have one of those robots that brings the dishes to your table.
