Iron chef is a nicely sized and well spaced restaurant nestled in Mawson…read more Food: Nothing really special here. What they have on offer, from combination chow mein to laksa and fried rice, is available virtually anywhere in Canberra. The food are cooked well, mind you, but there is no defining dish (or reason for you to travel here) for this restaurant that you can not find elsewhere. Which is a little sad because they have called themselves a Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant but has nothing that differentiate it much from other "Asian restaurants". Prices are all right and they do takeaways as well. One of those restaurants where only if you are nearby and you want Asian food, you can visit but there's more choices within a 5 minute drive. Service: Very friendly and prompt service :) Atmosphere: Both times I went were during weekdays, it was quiet and comfortable. No blaring music nor tight spaces and the staffs don't hurry you along when you are eating.

Interesting business model. I'm a local and the food is ok. Nothing special but ok. Ordered from…read morethem a couple of weeks ago through an online service and was charged a $5 delivery fee I wasn't told about. I complained to the site about the lack of information.

Could have been hotter, but actually the mix of spice and taste and texture was perfect. The lady offered that I could ask for more next time, but I'll hardly ever come back to Canberra. This is the place to go, if you kike Thai food. This is where the Thais go! Find out yourself!

Décor is depressing, it smells like oil, the chairs and tables are uncomfortable. But the food is ok and keeps the punters coming. I'd give this place another star, but for the fact that they obviously use frozen beans and carrots in their dishes, and you can tell.

The spring rolls were great and the calamari was decent. You know how the calamari you get at fish & chip shops vs. the calamari you get at Chinese restaurants? This was kind of half way between. So decent but I've had better. I would give it another go but the price is holding me back a bit.

Love Baby Su - such a cute, casual and tasty option. Decor is fun with several seating options,…read moreand service is quick and professional. It's easy to eat relatively healthy and tasty here. On a recent visit we got the Salmon Poke Bowl - salmon sashimi, sushi rice, edamame, nori, cucumber, radish, cabbage, red ginger & wasabi and a Teriyaki Salad Bowl - mizuna & iceberg salad, cucumber, pickled ginger, nori, radish. You can customise almost all the options to be vegetarian, or go pretty decadent with waffle chips and bao-burgers. They also have a variety of drinks including cute Japanese and Korean beverages, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. We both ate well for a full dinner, then took the leftovers home (packed in a cute box) for lunch the next day - everything was filling, relatively healthy, and delicious!

But you don't go to Kingsleys if you're watching your weight. The southern fried chicken fillets are succulent and juicy and the gravy here is hands down the best gravy I've tasted in my life. Ask any Canberran and they'll also tell you that their chips are the best you'll find in town, maybe even the country. This particular store has plenty of seating (mostly inside but they do have a couple of tables outside as well), restrooms in the back, free parking directly outside and friendly staff.

We…read moreordered several plates, but my favorites were the Crispy Chicken (crispy fried chicken in a sweet chili sauce) and Fish in a Coconut (light and aromatic fish curry presented in a young coconut shell, ordered at a no/mild spicy level). They don't mess around with the spice here - the chili peppers on the menu are a good indicator of spice level, but you can adjust the level of heat if you ask your server. We tried the Drunken Noodles at regular spicy level (3 chili peppers on the menu), and it was indeed spicy...in fact, it was too spicy for some of the older relatives in our group. The dish itself was very tasty, but the heat really added up. The interior decor is lovely and there's a nice outdoor patio area as well. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Great meal overall!
