My brother especially loves their Sweet and Sour Chicken because that is all that he ever orders. In fact it seems that even my Dad has his personal favourite. However I always try new things, though their battered duck is not really the best, but that is probably because of the batter. However the staff have always been great, and there has always been a table set aside for us when we have ventured here.

Mings Steamboat is great…read more You really need to go to Ming's in a group, and i'll tell you why. The first time I whent to Ming's steamboat was shortly after it had opened. At that time I had no idea what a steamboat was. I had merely stumbled in to get a quick bite to eat before a life drawing class situated down the road. I ordered the wanton soup which was about $12. I thought was a little bit expensive, but probably ok. After a while the waiter returned with the biggest bowl of wanton soup I had ever seen, it was big enough for more than two people, and I am not exaggerating because it came with a ladle in it. As I decadently started consuming the wantons, ladel in hand, I caught a glimpse out the corner of my eye the table next to me and then gazing around the room I saw that I was the only person in the room eating alone and that everyone else was up to something much more interesting. STEAMBOAT Now that I am a self proclaimed steam boat expert (having been there three of four times) I will tell you how it works. Effectively, the idea behind steamboat is that you cook your own food at the table in a big vat (the hotpot) of bubbling oily stock. Each table is equipt with a small burner stove upon which the hotpot sits. You order various raw ingredients such as meats (i reccomend upsizing to the special beef, it is more expensive but much fresher), vegetables, seafood and seafood balls, mushrooms fungi and a couple of even more interesting items and chuck them in the pot of stock until they cook. There is also a variety of stocks to choose from, flavoured not only with the base meat (or vegetable for that matter) but also with various herbs and spices. I prefer the hot chili variety but this is not always everyone's favourite (remember, this is no fun by your self). Luckily, it is also an option to get a divider put in the pot to allow for two different types of stock to be going at once. There is a small additional charge for this feature, but better than having to order two pots of stock. I quite like the variety and will often do this even when everyone present is into chili. The best part of steamboat is that once the food is cooked you get to fish it out with a little net, which is super fun, and, depending on who you are dining with, can potentially turn into a civil war over who gets the last fishball.

With Chinese food in Australia, sometimes you get quality and genuine Chinese food, and sometimes…read moreyou get the knock off suited for the typical Australian's taste version. Mings Steamboat is the former, fortunately. A simple restaurant closer to Whitmore Sq than Chinatown, Mings Steamboat is almost a hidden gem in its own right. The dishes are many and varied, and they taste good too. Don't be afraid to try the specials on the boards even if they do sound a bit weird. Step out of your comfort zone and don't just opt for the usual honey chicken - there's so much more. We got the chicken soup which felt like a good cleanse - the ginseng and dates really gave the soup a rich flavour. The soy ginger ribs were a bit too thick and sweet and the roast duck might've been 70% bones, but they were still good nonetheless. Don't miss the green beans with XO sauce, which was a clear standout.

Their uniforms are sweet little purple outfits with scarves so the staff look like flight attendants, and they could teach those Virgin Blue cats a thing or two about service. I am shocked and appalled that I've never come here before, the food is divine and the service fantastic. We ordered beef and Chinese vegetables, rice and sweet and sour pork, and the servings were bigger than my head (and I have a big head) the plates were piled sky high and the dishes are only around fourteen dollars each: a bargain! The pork dumplings had a weird gluey surface that disturbed me somewhat but aside from that the food was fantastic. Even when we asked to take some home the food was put into takeaway containers for us using silver service. The restaurant is spacious and very well conditioned (imperative in summer when eating spicy food) and there are sparkly chandeliers and one wall of tables are screened into individual booths. We will return!

I'm with Liz, I think that this place has the best service of any Chinese restaurant on Earth…read more I ended up having beef (with blackbean if my memory serves me) which was nice and tender, and the rice accompanying was also good, full of flavour and not oily at all. I reckon I'll be back here pretty soon to try out a few other dishes. It's not terribly expensive considering the standard of service and food, and the location is pretty awesome.

Conveniently located ever so close to my house, I always go here for pure Chinese takeaway, although they do have some competition now in the same building with Red Box which is coming up my favourites list. But the people who work here are lovely and know most regular customers by name and ask you how you are going. Their restaurant is very cute, quite old and alright for dining in, but I prefer to share and eat at home. There is a big fish tank to keep you amused while you wait, if you have to. And they always throw in a bunch of prawn crackers, yum!

Amongst the hustle and bustle of the Central Market arcade lies an unassuming Korean food stall:…read moreSun Mi's Sushi! They have never failed to serve me delicious Korean food and drinks. The service is also great and efficient. Located adjacent to the Yoghurt Shop, Sun Mi's has a range of hot food and sushi choices you can pick and choose from in the displays, or order main meals from the menu on the wall. I always get the Bulgogi from the menu, with a side of green vegetable pancakes from the hot food counter. These savoury pancakes are vegetarian, tasty, and go well as a side. There are also delicious chicken wings - my boyfriend's favourite choice from the hot food counter. The Bulgogi just comes with steamed rice, so simple yet so yummy! A range of sushi is also available but I have never tried any so I can't comment on the taste, as I come for the hot food! The seating is a bit of a hassle for me though. You sit at the counter, on bar stools. There are only about 8 stools so you can imagine what it's like over lunch time. Well, takeaway is available, and I see a lot of people just stopping by for sushi or vegie pancakes. Also, the prices are very affordable considering Korean food is sometimes a bit on the higher pricing end. Another plus!

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 :)

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.

There are 7 outside patio tables seating up to 4 chairs and about roughly the same tables and seating inside where you are cooled from the summer heat or foot traffic. Friendly server will guide you on your meal selection unless you're an advent DimSum goer, you already know the drill. Typical SiuMai to more courageous Chicken Feet with Black Bean sauce, they have a whole sleuth of selection to choose from. I didn't stay long enough to experience the more crafty Chinese authentic cuisines, but from the dim sum themselves, I'm pretty sure they will be as excellent. We ordered a few items to try out this DimSum place: -- Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce (very tender and savory) -- SuiMai Pork (very flavorful and fresh) -- Steamed Ox Tripe (tender, no too hard or soft and juicy) -- Beef Tripe with Ginger sauce (steamed to perfection) Recommending this place if you're ever in town here in Chinatown!!
