    Situated next to Chinese Noodle Restaurant is a Taiwanese restaurant with the peculiar name of Cho Dumpling King. Don't let the name deceive you, since no dumplings are served at this establishment. I've been here several times already and while the place is small and usually full, the wait is quick. Takeaway is easy and service is prompt. The food here is great and cheap, you really can't go wrong with anything you order here...Taiwanese snacks are the bomb. You can order several different types of snack foods as well as side dishes you normally wouldn't get anywhere else and the teas are tasty too (frothy green tea ftw.) Their lunch deals are very nice...if you're ever in the area and don't feel like ramen at Menya or the wait might be too long at Chinese Noodle Restaurant, then give this place a go.

There's a self serve kiosk to order and pay, then you scan a number barcode and sit down. It was all a really simple procedure and I like the concept. Once I sat down and got situated, the food came out almost instantaneously and looked glamorous. All the rice soaked up the juices of the fatty, succulent pieces of pork; and it was absolutely delectable. Never a boring bite!

She pulses and glows, and sends wafts of pungent perfume drifting down the street to envelop me in her heady musk. Finally ate there last night. Was fresh from the gym, cricket training and no lunch, and was so famished I coulda eaten the eyes out of a dead camel. I was barely coherent by this point. I just needed food, tasty food, and a table full of it. Bao Dao delivered. In spades. Big ones. Cheap ones. Hot, steaming, spicy, delicious ones. You order off a big plastic picture menu, there's a ton of small-sized dishes at ridiculous prices - most everything is between $4 and $7, with sides around $3. So you just point at about a thousand things that look good and 5 minutes later you're heffing in like John Goodman at a buffet. I don't like to blow my own horn (unless I'm alone and something with Mandy Moore is on TV), but I ordered the $hit out of that place. Everything that came was epic, from the pulled pork with sweet peanut rolls to the oily lamb broth to the fried coriander chicken to the suuuuper spicy dumplings with pickled cucumber to the pork sauce rice with century egg. Guh. Getting giddy just thinking about it. So go. Try. The Taiwanese girl is waiting. She wants you inside her.

    For those who have been to Taiwan or even Hong Kong for that matter, you would be familiar with the…read moreroadside stalls/carts that sell takeout bowls of soup with ingredients that you point at and are cooked up in front of you before you're on your way with a steaming personalised hotpot bowl. This has now arrived in Sydney on George Street but in a much more glamorous setting than a roadside cart. Given our rules regarding food safety, the ingredients are kept behind a refrigerated glass counter and you order off a sheet of paper. How do Asian countries manage to keep food at ambient temperatures roadside without 'issues' ? Anyhow, the choice of ingredients is quite staggering from meats, vegetables, balls of various fillings, noodles and tofu. The thing to keep in mind is that the bowl isn't very big so you can't load it all up with too much and the big thing to note is that it all adds up very quickly from a $$ perspective. I ended up paying $14.70 (and I don't think I went overboard with my choices either) which is a very expensive bowl of takeout hotpot with noodles. Something similar in Taiwan probably cost me about $3. The browl was very fragnant and as a I had chose mild spicy level, it had a good kick to it. Ingredients are typical hotpot quality but the big bummer for me was the price!

They have a great selection of noodles to choose from which is topped with your choice of ingredients. I was stoked to find out they had the squiggly Nissin noodles plus I was able to add my favourite fish balls and shredded beef, which I frequently order when I'm in Hong Kong or Taiwan. I would definitely categorize it as comfort food.

    I am not sure what happened to my review back in 2017, but I am reviewing this place again, so I…read morecan have something to reference to know what I liked and disliked. I remembered I ordered the Pipis with Basil back in 2017, but couldn't remember what I thought of it, so I am back here in 2022 and I tried the following items: Pipis with Basil - as mentioned, got this again and I thought it was good, but my mother makes it better. This place the sauce is a bit too thick for my liking, but since I love pipis, I came back here again to get them, but this time I asked them to make it super spicy and it tasted a lot better. Spicy Chicken Wonton - okay this is a total fail. The chicken was super dry and just not good. This is the worse spicy wonton I ever had in my life. Kong Bao Chicken - ordered this but I asked them if this is Kung Pao Chicken and they said yes, and this was also the worse version I ever had. It tasted as though they fried the chicken and then cooked it. The chicken was super dry as well. Hot & Sour Soup - decent Beef Noodle Soup - okay this won me over that made me want to come back. I thought this was a good dish given the weather. Pork - good Prawn Dumpling - good size filling in here and ordered some frozen ones to go that I totally forgot to eat. Taiwan Style Smoked Chicken - I think there are two menus floating around, because the one that I saw didn't have the word tea in it, but I believe I saw another one after the fact that had the word tea. When I originally got it, it was to share but didn't realize it was tea smoked chicken and A doesn't like tea, so I was stuck with this large chicken. This didn't wow me, though the chicken wasn't dry, but the novelty of this didn't last long for me. I wanted to order this Tainan Dan Dan Soup Noodle, but it threw me off since it says Soup and I never had Dan Dan noodles that were brothy and when I got to the store I asked them and they showed me a picture on their menu and I have never heard of a soup version of Dan Dan noodles. Maybe they got the name wrong? I didn't get it because I wanted the dry Dan Dan. I want to say service here is eh, but I really didn't like the fact that the shorter lady, who might be the owner or head manager needs a lot of work in hospitality. Both times I came here and I dropped 90-100 dollars and the second time I asked her to give me chili sauce and the other lady gave me this other one that had no chili inside, so I said no, I want the one with chili and she brought me just sliced chili with no oil. I said I want the one that you gave me when I ate here with the chili oil, so the manager lady scolded me as though I am supposed to know the chili sauce I wanted was what they called homemade chili, but meanwhile I think chili sauce was pretty clear. Anyways, the reason why I bring this up is because I saw that the sauce costs $.50, but she charged me $1.00 and she was going to originally charge me a $1.00 just for some sliced chili. Like one little tiny chili sliced doesn't equate to a dollar. I am mad that I have ordered loads of food both times and not only did she charge me a $1.00, but ripped me off because it was supposed to be $.50 only. Shadiness!

The calamari roll with salted egg was quite disappointing for me, $14 for something quite small, and the flavour just didn't get me. Noodle soup was quite nice, but nothing too special. The smoked chicken will have me coming back, and I will try more of their other dishes. 5 stars for the smoked chicken, 3 stars for everything else. The bathroom is located outside and in another building.

We also got shrimp and pork dumplings and one with Sichuan Mala flavor. For the sides we got some garlic stir fried veggies. I thought all the dumplings were okay in taste, flavor, and texture. I really was not a fan of the Sichuan Mala one. It was gamey in taste. It actually made me think I was eating lamb instead of pork. Veggies were standard. This is a place I can say I've tried but don't plan to try another one.

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.

Close to Town Hall station, QVB and Darling Harbour. I've noticed this place many times walking past with its little fairy lights in its little side alleyway, the shop always full with Asian guests. We all know this looks good to us white guys lol. Finally stepped inside. So glad we did. The smell of good food, the sight of interesting dishes, the chatter of happy eaters, the varied patrons from 7-70, and a price list that made me feel like it was all going to be a bargain all added up to one thought. It's gonna be a good night!! I had already actually eaten before arriving but with the recommendations from a lovely young lady serving, our table had enough food to send my heart and stomach to a place beyond satisfaction. I wanted to keep eating even though I'd had more than enough. My lips were strangely buzzing, no the food wasn't too spicy for me...it just felt..good. The couple beside me put my meager efforts to shame. They feasted. I couldn't believe how much food could fit on their table. Not only that they were tiny. I envied them. My taste buds were dancing just observing their food and the pleasure they took slowly grazing the many dishes. We washed our food down with a pot of jasmin tea. They even offered to refill the hot water. Generous Gosh it was a good night. And a tradition I hope to establish. Settling the bill was almost as pleasurable as dining. Got bang for my buck. Cudos to the older gentleman who I think was the owner. He seemed like a very gracious host. Thank you.
