Dine in this restaurant on 3/29 at lunch time. I don't recommend this restaurant due to following…read morereasons.. Food - the Mogolian beef were not cooked through. I almost spit off all of them due to tough to chew. Service - didn't provide water untile I asked for it after finishing the foods which made me so thirsty. Ambiance - the woman owner was mean, she forced me to pay before eating foods. I saw everyone else pay after eating foods.

But it's also oddly charming, in the way that all the little shops on Katoomba's main (and kind of only) street are charming. I only ducked in for takeaway but the Cantonese Pepper Beef and Rice I got was a gigantic Orc-sized serving, and came out piping hot in about 5 minutes flat. They do a bunch of $7.90 lunch specials too, but you gotta get in before 3pm.

RSL's were always a place where community could go to get a low priced meal and be together. However here, a gluten free burger will set you back thirty bucks. A side of veg is thirteen. Granted, running costs are off the wall everywhere, but it seems it would be better to embark on lower priced options and more of them, and service the community with adequate marketing. There are motels and a hostel basically next door. It's time to change with the times, even if it's Uber Eats and similar. The ambience is not enough to justify the high prices, even if the cause is. While some of the specials look good at $15-16, they're not marked with allergens, so it's too much effort there when there are many easier options nearby. It's not the only RSL with this issue, but someone could lead the charge and modernise them.

We throughly enjoyed our dinning experience at the RSL in Katoomba. I had never visited a RSL but…read morewas greeted warmly with open arms. Roy was a delight and explained RSL's process. We ordered bruschetta, T-bone steak, prawn curry with naan, and bread pudding with butterscotch sauce. The service was quick, the food was delicious, portions large, and a great value. I especially liked the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream on the side. Everyone we met was a complete delight. We didn't visit the slots or bar area. If you are hungry while in Katoomba stop by Katoomba's RSL. If you see Roy make sure to give a friendly nod or smile.
