One of the most authentic Chinese noodle soup and dumplings experiences on the Gold Coast, by quite…read morea long margin. As a man of Chinese descent, I've long lamented the lack of authentic Chinese food on the coast, and Memory taste of Fu Kang goes a long way to rectifying this. The noodle soups are authentic and delicious, and the serving size more than generous (seriously you can share one bowl between two people). The dumplings are a little expensive, compared to what you'll get in other cities, but for the GC they are delicious and plentiful. You definitely won't go hungry! And try the "Chinese hamburger" for a flavour-filled delight. I've brought my parents here when they came to visit, and they loved it. Seeing as they're massive Chinese food snobs, if they loved it, I'm sure you will too.

The Chow Fun was really tasty. The sweet and sour pork was not over breaded. The Salt and pepper chicken was exceptional. The ones in Chicago usually has no breading this one did. The fried garlic they put on top also in the soft shell crab dish is enough to make fried rice. Water is NOT complimentary- neither is the tea. Otherwise I have no issues with the pricing considering where we are.

I probably should write an update, simply because I've been in enough times. Kuan Yin offers a…read morewide-ranging menu of vegetarian Taiwanese dishes with plenty of other Asian offerings mixed in. It is a decent location; not on the beach but accessible and near other useful things. Their menu is vegetarian; it also has separate sections to denote the minority of non-vegan items. I will occasionally get a nice tea or other drink from them, but the highlights of my visits have been food. I am not a big fake meat person, but they do a good enough job of integrating them in that I will eat the various strange products that pop up in their dishes. Their ma po tofu is still probably the best rendition I've had in Australia, and the ground fake meat and black pepper give it a desirable heartiness. I was also impressed with their rich curry laksa, and their dumplings and smaller soups are great appetizers. The hardest thing about eating here is that all the time I spend poring through the menu trying to pick another winner I could be spending on the beach. Note: No longer cash only.

They call themselves the best Chinese food in Queensland, but honestly, we were appalled and…read moreseriously disappointed. The rice was already set out on the table before we got there, the soup was extremely salty with a hint of fishyness. Dishes were on the small end, very salty, and on the pricey end. The steamed fish dish was also a big disappointment - it was much smaller than expected and very chewy, which is a sign of it being overcooked. Servers were super inattentive and we never had our tea and water refilled throughout the entire dinner service.

The selection is more than decent where u can find usual things including dumplings, wontons and dim sims, steamed buns (or "baos"), pork ribs, roast duck, and noodles as well as cow tripe and chicken feet. They also serve up sweet dishes such as custard tarts, silken tofu in a sweet ginger syrup and other Chinese cakes and pastries. Service is as per a lot of Chinese restaurants where speed and efficiency is priority and western mannerisms/politeness is second. However, it gets the job done, u do get what u want, and (usually) with a smile. In terms of yum cha on the Gold Coast / Brisbane area, I'm sure there're probably many of other "better" places, however in terms of consistency, I don't think many of those places can keep pace. I believe it is better doing something good all the time rather than something amazing only sometimes, especially when u are taking friends/family out for a decent feed. On the weekends it tends to get crazy busy, so if u decide to try, remember to come early (like 1200), otherwise expect to wait for a table. I recommend if you're in the area and feeling for yum cha, give this place a go.
