Friends organized a group dinner for around 20 people. Usually go for Golden Century in Chinatown and was surprised they picked Eaton restaurant in Ashfield.
I was lucky to find a park (even on a Sunday night) and my sat NAB said I was 50 meters away. Lucky, as I walked past the place and only recognized the neon sign. The window is covered by tanks of fish, crab etc.
walked into a small restaurant and was concerned about the seating but realized they have another level.
Food was very good.
The puppies with xo sauce on fried noodles and the fresh fish with ginger and shallots were as good as any Chinese seafood restaurant. The other dishes, such as Peking duck, pork chops with plum sauce, mixed veg, salt and pepper crab and the usual traditional dishes were also surprisingly tasty.
The reason I was surprised, is because the restaurant does not look like much. Outdated fitout and very unassuming.
The service was reasonable and I did feel sorry for the other two tables with us upstairs, as we were a noisy group with kids and they were small tables of 3 and 4.
I would recommend Eaton for their seafood and their pricing was reasonable. Certainly compared to the city/Chinatown Restaurants.
Also heard they are open till 2am! So if you had a big night at the pub and are near Ashfield, skip the kebab and go for some quality Chinese. Your stomach will thank you (as well as your tastebuds) read more
