No frills good value Chinese food…read more A suburban institution, Ginling has kept Inner Southern burbs dwellers (and visitors) happy with a range of yummy dishes for decades. My (Chinese Malay) aunt insists on eating here when she visits Adelaide. Customer service is hit and miss but easily overlooked! My faves - Peking duck, chilli chicken and the roast duck. I also firmly believe their deep fried ice cream is THE best I've ever had! Has never disappointed me and I'm a loyal patron.

Even when Menulog have messed up an order, this restaurant came through for us as impeccable service providers. Highly recommended. You have to try their shallot fritters because they are AMAZING! Everything we've ever ordered from this place is fantastic. Our fave is the honey king prawns. They're huge, juicy and very crispy. We will continue to make this place our go-to Chinese choice.

Never before - never again!!

Mains were removed and the waitress had to ask again what our entrees were. 1 inedible entree arrived 10 minutes later, the other had not arrived after 1 hour. Complained and left - staff could not care less and were more worried about making sure we paid for what were did receive rather than apologising for the deplorable service and lack of food. Absolutely disgusted. Never again.

Not your average menu here at Shanghai Garden. Along with…read morethe standard Chinese (Cantonese) food, Shanghai Garden also have a range of slightly westernised Szechuan style food for those that are more adventurous. We sampled a nice range from Crispy Fried Duck (in batter) to Kong Pao Chicken and Chilli laden pork ribs and cumin spiced lamb. All in all a very good feed of some out of the ordinary Chinese Food.

Just went to this restaurant, had been serving good food until today. There were different staff…read moreand thought that there might be a change in management. We ordered the tea duck as usual. We ate half (mostly breast), seems normal. When we get to the leg part, we realised many whitish lumps imbedded in the meat. I picked some off to see what they were - they look tumourous or cancerous. Got to be fair, I am not 100% sure. Please refer to the photo attached - can't attach photo!!!!! I notified the waitress right away, who talked to the chef in the kitchen. She came back and said they are normal and certified by the supplier. The kitchen didn't even bother to take a look at it. It only shows me that they knew and served it anyway. I told her to show it to the kitchen, she came out and said they are only lymphatic notes. It was nothing wrong with the duck. They really thought that we are ignorant and dumb. We eat poultries all the time and my husband family had a Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant for over 30 years. Tell me, have you seen prominent lymph notes like this in the legs and thoughts. We know what normal duck meat looks like. For the whole incident, no apologies from any staff, charged us for this duck dish, gave us 10% off for serving what they called diseased ducks, which is potentially harmful to our health. Such a disgrace! What a shame! The kitchen knew when cutting the duck up, but still shamelessly decided to serve the duck to us. It is unforgivable. They didn't own up the mistake, made up excuses, no apologies given and had us paid for a dish that we can't eat. Very disappointing.

We went to Rolinn for Chinese New Year celebrations. It was a buffet for $25 a head…read more The food was sensational. Mind you the fact that they call themselves a 'Chinese Australian' restaurant makes it clear that if you're looking for traditional Chinese this is not the place for you. (It took us 3 go's to get some chinese tea and the tea pot looked very unused and chopsticks were no where to be seen) The garlic prawns were the plumpest tastiest prawns I have had in a long time. The batter on the lemon chicken was a bit dense, but the light tangy lemon sauce made up for it. The vegies in the black bean were crisp and cooked to perfection. The place was chock o'block so we were expecting delays, but were pleasantly surprised. We had 15 people at the table and despite a little confusion the staff managed to get all our drink orders in a relatively timely manner. The food was more than enough for all of us. The highlight of the night was the dancing lion. Very fun and entertaining. Would definitely recommend it for your New Year celebrations next year.

Where else can you get a banquet for two people for $22 and not be able to eat it all. This includes spring rolls, cold rolls, three main courses and tea/coffee. The restaurant is cheery but daggy; like a lounge room from the 70's, complete with aquarium. However, all the locals know it well and it is always busy. The salt and pepper prawns and the chili, lemongrass chicken are my pick of the dishes and the reason I go there. Oh, and I nearly forgot, they do the best deserts, especially the fried ice cream. The service, while friendly, is very slow and I have been known to wave my arms around madly to get the waiters to look over. Tip: If ordering for big groups place the order on the notes of your iphone and give it to them - they love this!

Located on the busy restaurant strip of Jetty Rd in Glenelg, this is a specialised Vietnamese…read morebusiness that does great and traditional cuisine. My best picks of the menu are the really great cold rolls with loads of mint (like proper cold rolls) and the hotpot. There is a really pretty fish tank as you walk in on the left and leads into a reasonably spacious, yet intimate setting. They have a joint Vietnamese and Chinese menu, providing a range of choices from both cultures. Offers a range of vegetarian dishes and all menu items are relatively inexpensive compared to some of its competitors in the City.

Lim's Chinese Restaurant at Glenelg is a veritable icon of dining when it comes to Chinese food at…read morethe Bay. Granted, its not traditional Chinese but its good nosh if you're hungry or you're after a feed for the family. I have eaten in on many occasions over the years but I do have a history of takeaway dining and always order their Special Fried Rice with a side serving of Satay Sauce and a couple of steamed dim sims - what can I say, I like a gourmet cookup as much as the next person but sometimes a girl just needs basic food. Love the fact that when you are dining in, Lim nearly always visits tables later in the evenings and shouts drinks for his patrons. It's a nice gesture and if nothing else is a very clever marketing touch. The staff at Lim's must be a content bunch because some of them have worked there for years. There has been a considerable change in the size of the restaurant over the years and it use to be twice the size it is now. The best Lemon Chicken going around.

Not being a great fan of "western" Chinese food anyway, my expectations are not particularly high…read more I have been to Lim's a few times as it has been around for a very long time. Each time I go (never of my own choosing of course) I hope to eat something worthwhile but sadly this hasn't happened. The food is barely passable and most meats are heavily battered. The restaurant itself is quite lovely, spacious airy and very red, of course. The service is its one redeeming feature. The staff are attentive and the hot hand towels before the meal are a pleasant touch. Lim, who owns the restaurant is a local celebrity and always has a great float in the Glenelg Christmas Pageant, complete with the "human" dragon. He is very good at front of house being very attentive to every customer. The oldies love him as he offers them free drinks on special occasions. It is a great shame that the food is so bad because they have got most of the other components right. I hope that I don't have to go back too soon!

I must say this is probably some of the most amazing Chinese food I have ever eaten…read more The decor of the restaurant is modern asian and very decadent. Service fairly quick however a few language issues did occur. I was enjoying it too much to take photos... but some things the four of us ordered were: * Crispy Golden Prawn Ball Dumpling ($9.5) -served w/ Sweet Chilli Sauce (3) - Probably the most boring part of the meal. * Traditional Peking Duck - ($65) Whole Duck 16 Pancakes [for 3-4p] - Just Delicious! Wonderful :) * Chicken Black Peppercorn ($19.5) - The chicken was unbelievably tender, fresh and brilliantly flavoured. I believe that was all I can recall as it was a few months ago but gosh it was an amazing meal - well done Lychie :)

This restaurant is in a large well utilised space. It looked fantastic and felt warm and inviting…read more Staff were extremely profession yet still came across and nice and friendly. The waiter told us it was an award winning restaurant (with trip advisor ) which set expectation high from the start. So we shared and ordered from the entree menu. First San chow bow which was nice but mine was a little over filled and therefore I couldn't roll it properly so it dripped. But was yummy. King prawn dumplings where really nice. We had 2 each. I quite liked these however they had been drizzled with chilli oil which we both found too too hot. It spoiled the dish really. Soft shell crab was perfectly delicious. Except also drizzled with the chilli oil really people? We want to taste the food. My friend was perfectly happy at this point I however was a little underwhelmed. Dessert made up for it. Banana fritters with ice cream and caramel drizzled around. Oh yes! We topped that off with a shot of kalua each and a fortune cookie. Fortune cookie tasted fabulous, my fortune message? Yeah not really happy with that. I liked it here. Others had ordered sizzling meals and we could smell them it was a Devine aroma. Just not good to inhale the fumes of chilli oil too deeply. If your not into chilli hotness might be best to let them know here.
