We got a place outside to enjoy the birdcage art installation and it was perfect ambiance. We shared the spring rolls, steamed boa buns, and the mushroom plate. It was the perfect amount of food, and we appreciated the server's suggestions. The quality of the food was phenomenal and all the tastes were unique but well blended; I never would have though to put gruyère in a spring roll! I highly recommend checking out this place and I'll likely be back because everything else on the menu was so intriguing.

We were staying right down the street at the Marriott and decided to order takeaway from this restaurant. There was only one hostess and she was busy juggling walk-ins, seating customers with reservations, and handling incoming calls. However, she was pleasant and relatively efficient. We ordered 3 items for a total of ~$60 USD: XO Chilli Prawn Cutlets Beancurd and Vegetables in Oyster Sauce Vegetable chow mein The portions are huge! The containers were literally packed to the brim. We had enough to feed 3 people for dinner and for breakfast the next day. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice Chinese/ Malaysian restaurant in the Circular Quay area of Sydney…read more They use Halal standards for food handling and prep. We dined in the upstairs portion of the restaurant ( which is tucked in a multi use building ). Service was friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious. Fresh seafood. Fresh veggies. Portions were decent sized. They do have some pricing quirks to be aware of: There is a minimum spend per person and I believe it varies with party size. They charge a 10% surcharge on Sundays. Not sure if this standard in other restaurants but I doubt it. I'm mentioning it so diners on Sunday are aware. I liked the food enough that I just chalked it up to a vacation u expected expense. I'd eat there again if I had the chance. Notorious MD approved!

It was very nice inside and receives high praise on Google Reviews. We shared the Mongolian Lamb. It was fabulous. We don't have any Mongolian Lamb in the Chinese restaurants near us in Arizona. Very tasty Mongolian sauce and the lamb was very tender. Rice doesn't come with the entree's here, but a small bowl was only $4 AUD. If we would be in Sydney longer, we would go back.

Looks like this place rebranded itself to Chef n Wok. Based on the previous reviews, we had high…read morehopes, but I guess the quality went down with the name change. 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.

What we ordered for the table: -Garlic Cucumbers -Drunken Chicken -Pork Soup Dumplings -Gyoza -Pan Fried Soup Dumplings -Soft Shell Crab -Beef Noodle Soup -Scallion Tossed Dry Noodles Everything was delicious, but we were blown away by the dumplings. They're made to order and each juicy bite offers an explosion of flavor. Soft shell crab was larger than expected, which is great if you know anything about ordering them. Scallion noodles was probably my personal favorite as I demolished them even though I was already full.

The restaurant had no more than four parties when we arrived for a late dinner on a Monday night around 8pm. Then again, Lynn isn't very easy to spot if you're strolling along Castlereagh St, which may explain the emptiness. It's pretty standard to order xiao long baos at a Shanghainese restaurant. So of course, we got one order of #701 XLBs, along with #801 Shanghai Noodles with Shredded Pork and Vegetables and #805 Vegetable and Pork Wontons in Noodles with Hot and Spicy Sauce. The XLBs weren't amazing. The pork meat was bland, and the soup was very light and not as flavorful as I hoped. However, the skin was perfect: delicate and thin, yet sturdy enough to hold the meat and soup, and it had good texture. The Shanghai noodles weren't special either. I liked the variety of veggies and pork, but the dish overall needed more salt as it was tasteless and lacked any depth. The wontons and noodles in a hot and spicy sauce was a very heavy dish. Noodles had a very thick, starchy texture. Wontons were generously stuffed with a large amount of filling, mainly shredded vegetables because I didn't taste the pork, and the skin was too thick and chewy. The sauce was extremely spicy, and it irked me when we weren't automatically given water refills when our glasses were clearly empty. Lynn is a huge restaurant, so it can accommodate large groups. It's also very clean and modern. Service wasn't rude, but they certainly weren't attentive either. The only reason we tried this place was because they had a takeaway menu available at our hotel. The menu looked promising, but after dining here, we left unimpressed.

Despite making a reservation online through their website, my name was not on the list. Thankfully,…read morethe restaurant was pretty empty (7.30pm on a Friday...hmmm), they seated 7 of us at a big table in a corner. FOOD -- One can choose either the buffet ($25pp) or the ala carte menu. Note that the buffet does not include the soup base (ranging from $12-$16) or sauces (about $1.20 per type of sauce). We (bunch of finance geeks) spent over 15 mins debating if it was cheaper to do the buffet. In the end we chose not to. It turned out to be a good decision, cause the meal cost each of us around $21pp (excluding softdrinks). We ordered about 20-22 plates of veggies/meat. The food was pretty good, everything was quite fresh. My favourites are probably the spam & beef rolls. Who knew spam tasted so good when boiled in spicy broth ? :) SERVICE -- A.R.G.H. This is the only reason why Im giving this restaurant a 3 star instead of a 4. Ordering through the iPad is a stupid idea because you can only see 2-3 items per "page", so it was time consuming to "go-through" the menu. (especially when i am HUNGRY, A.R.G.H) Getting the attention of a waitress/waiter was the worst. Maybe because we were sitting in a corner but it was almost impossible to catch their attention. We gave up and took turns to walk over to the cashier counter each time we needed something from them. A.R.G.H They should consider doing what some korean restaurants do - putting an alert/bell system on each table. Lastly, I heard from my guy friends that the male bathroom was NASTY ! (boo!!)

The unique thing about this place is that they gave protective sleeves for your jackets because hotpot smells tend to stay with clothing for some time. Average spend is around $30 for the all you can eat menu (and also unlimited softdrink, but don't fill up on soft drink) which is very fair when there are other places which charge about $35 (without the drink thing).

A hot or of green tea is served throughout the meal, the rice container is continually refilled and the waitress is extremely helpful. A line of people are waiting for a table. The line gradually is getting longer and people don't mind waiting knowing that the food is worth the wait. This is definitely a place to book. Book early too so you are not encouraged to leave right after the meal. Great food, good atmosphere a place to dine!
