My family and I have been coming here for years, possibly, through several owner changes as well…read more On this recent trip, we came here with my parents' friends for lunch on the weekend. The place was empty and I don't know why. The food is absolutely stellar and from the interaction of my parents and my parents' friends with the owner, I can tell they come here often. The Japanese style beef is tender and flavorful, as was the "sang chow guat" which is similar to sweet and sour pork but not as sweet nor as sour. It is so fresh and seasoned beautifully. The salt and pepper tofu is also delicious as is the "sang chow ngau yuk fan" which is a beef fried rice. It was a tad greasy but so tasty. The piece de resistance of the meal was the mud crab topped with rice vermecelli which has soaked up all the flavors from the crab. This was absolutely delicious and we (or shall I say, I) ate every little bit from the clay pot. There are other specials such as the pigeon which I've had years ago on previous visits, and I remember it being very good. The restaurant serves up pretty authentic Chinese food which I find is so hard to find in Brisbane when you want it done well. This place pretty much has remained consistent and is definitely a great place when you're looking for authentic fare. My dad didn't want me to write a review about it because he thought it would make it harder for him to get a table. HAHA.

When I saw that one of the chinese restaurants put on their takeaway menu 'the best chinese food in…read morecentenary' I thought automatically... no, they can't claim that title legitimately. So I went on a search, asked friends and put my ear to the ground. I heard there was another great chinese little place up the road, still in Centenary... I thought, yes, i'm up for the challenge. I will compare their dishes same for same, and let's see what I find out. That opponent was Good Taste. I am happy to report, it is just that. Or should I call it Great Taste? The Chow Kuey Teow (yummy fried noodle dish, trust me, it's yummy) was fried with the right heat in a wok, giving it that great smoking taste. The sweet and sour pork belly was crispy, sweet and sour and very appetising. The prices were pretty much the same as well. Well call me an asian, sit me in a hawker stall on the naked streets of Kuala Lumpur and hand me a Good Taste dish, I am there. The food is authentic, fresh, piping hot when they serve it, and they are friendly, fast and guess what... if you go there for dinner with a group larger than 4, they give you a free soup appetiser and a free desert, plus oranges. Bonus! Chinese people like their free stuff, so for chinese people to be giving free stuff away, you can only guess what happens. If you can't, it makes chinese people beyond happy! So it comes as no surprise that on Friday nights and weekends, this little Great Tasting place is packed full of big groups of people. Even the derelict shopping centre it's located in won't stop people coming in the door. Love it. Give me some more chilli. Maybe the other chinese place should put 'second best place to get chinese food in centenary'.

This place used to be better 15 years ago. I would now give them three stars only because there is…read moreno option for two and a half stars. Three stars is too generous, and two stars is a too mean. On average three stars out of five for food - the food usually ranges from acceptable to good, but can occasionally be terrible. Service is really, really, really bad and they have a big attitude problem - they are horrible at times. One star out of five for service. The owner and staff can be appallingly rude. They are not stupid, and I am certain they know what basic manners mean, but they don't give a damn about how they speak to customers. They only care about money. We only go there (occasionally) because we live in the area.

Since we were at Yum Yum for one thing and one thing only - we ordered the two-course duck, which…read moreincluded the Peking duck and the duck with lettuce wrap. Other choices are available, but I didn't feel like soup or anything. The Peking duck (49) was not bad, though they didn't do a good job of cleaning the fat off the skin (which proper Peking duck is supposed to have), and the duck wasn't all that flavorful - maybe cause the sauce and green onions didn't taste right. The dish is really made for about 10 people as part of a family-style dinner, so I possibly just had a bit too much of the same flavor, but I thought the Peking duck was just mediocre. I've had much better lettuce wraps before, and don't think I'll be returning to Yum Yum, even though it may be the best for Peking duck in Brissy. It didn't live up to my expectations, and just got me craving for Great China's peking duck. Theirs is good enough that I'll put up with their unfriendly and inattentive service just to get some of their duck (and crab and buns)! Ah, I miss good Chinese food...

This will always be the place I spotted a celebrity in Centenary. Who else did I sit behind but…read moreBernard Fanning from Powderfinger. The little restaurant is a bit tiny inside, and echoey as I found out, so we did spend most of the time not focussing on our food, but on the conversation on the next table. Hey, it's not like we interruped him, we were the only other people in there! The next time we did focus on the food, and while the peking duck this restaurant boasts is pretty yummy (3.5/5 i'm a bit of a peking duck nazi) there are other dishes which compliment that style as well. Plus, you can come in and buy some BBQ meats hanging in the front display window for take away, you just tell them how much, they chop it up and off you go. The dry beef ho fan is quite delicious and packed full of flavour, and I really did love their roast pork and tofu hot pot. Both are tasty and leave you wanting more. I know that a lot of places have given this place raving reviews, evidence of the newspaper and magazine articles are cut out and sticky taped to the front door. I know that people like Bernie from Powderfinger even go there. But i've been to my fair share of chinese tucker places, and while this place has been highly rated, I can't say it's made my top 5. Go there for the duck and a few select dishes, you won't be disappointed. But make no mistake... this place is famous for it's duck... not it's dishes.

We were feeling a bit down because our favourite chinese place had recently closed down (rip darra…read morepalace) and this restaurant opened up. First feeling - not a great place for little kids... but you can go there with little kids if you would like. The owner is really pedantic on keeping the place clean and tidy which is really really good, but it also makes you afraid to make a mess. The food was really nice, but on the slightly expensive side, we ordered 2 entrees, 3 mains and paid $80+ for it on a Friday 2 days prior to Father's Day... as I saw an ad on Facebook saying 10% off, book this Father's Day weekend! But we didn't get the 10% off as it wasn't the Sunday exactly... which was okay I suppose (I felt the advertising was a little misleading). Our normal chinese place would have cost us closer to $40. Furniture looks great, chairs are really heavy to move. Not to be picky, but we ordered a $4 ginger beer, and they poured 1/2 into our glass, put the other 1/2 in the fridge... we weren't too sure what was happening with the other 1/2 so we asked them to bring us the bottle... which they were hesitant about. Just little things, I know I am nit picking, but i'm big on having a good restaurant experience. The food was nice, a two of our dishes had the same vegies through it so they pretty much tasted the same... for the price was a bit of a let down. But it's worth a try.

Conscious of the fact that I needed to eat something before my stomach began to munch on my already struggling liver, I ran into the first place I saw: Yuet Wah. Now, I normally hate ordering takeout for one because you always end up with too much rice and too much of one particular meal. On occasion I have compensated for this by buying two different meals with the intention of saving some for leftovers - only to find myself 30 minutes later with peking sauce all over my face and shirt with not a morsel left. My binge eating problem aside, Yuet Wah has an excellent range of solo diner options that includes both rice and a reasonable serving of a particular meal. Being the stinge I am I was ecstatic when I discovered that I was able to receive all of this for less then $10!! As I waited for my meal I began to check the rest of restaurant out. The dining area was a little uninspired but perfectly practical. There were tables, chairs and wine buckets, but that was pretty much it. I began to wonder what this place was before it was a restaurant that seems to offer meals from every single country in Asia. It quite clearly used to be a house. What type of people used to live in a house that is now a takeaway restaurant? The point I'm getting at is that the atmosphere wasn't convincing and seemed induce bouts of nostalgia. When I returned home I quickly ate my Mongolian Lamb with rice on my bed watching some documentary hosted by Oprah about the holocaust. As you can tell it wasn't the best evening ever but it may have had very little to do with my trip to Yuet Wah. The food was decent but it isn't something you'd write home about. Regardless I licked the takeaway container clean and went to bed.

About time I review My Pho Bar. This was actually my first pho experience ever. I was always…read moreconvinced I would hate pho, but when I first arrived in Australia this place was one of the first restaurants some family members wanted me to try. I can officially say I'm a pho addict now. I love pho and I love my pho bar. I've dined in on both weekends and weekdays and have never had a bad experience. It is modern and clean, nice and airy as well. Always start with the spring rolls, they're always stuffed with flavour and perfect to snack on while waiting for your main. My favourite pho bowl is the "my spicy", the chicken and beef is always perfectly tender and the broth is to die for. It's not actually very spicy, so I take full advantage of the serve yourself chilli bar and add some heat to my bowl. The service can sometimes be a little slow but it's very rare to see more than one waitress at a time so I understand, and it's always worth the wait. There's a "Super Bowl challenge" which I have yet to attempt, check out the pictures on the wall of all the challengers, you'd have to make sure your stomach has been empty for days to beat this one!

A restaurant with one focus, and one focus only. Pho pronounced (fur). For those of you who don't…read moreknow what this is, it is vietnamese noodle soup plain and simple. And here, for $12 you can get a generous serving of it, with your choice of up to 3 toppings. The owners have just opened recently in the little shopping centre off Kooringal Drive right next to my favourite Sushi 79 and they are making a killing of it. No more do we have to drive all the way to Darra for our noodle soup, no more do we need to wipe the tables clean ourselves... no more do we have to ask dodgy or not dodgy? These guys are the real deal. They charge 3 dollars more than the places in Darra, but they bring you the cuisine with fresh ingredients, a clean atmosphere and elegant cutlery and bowls. These guys have put some thought into revamping the daggy noodle shop in the suburbs and on a Friday night the place is pretty busy. They are also the home of the SUPER BOWL CHALLENGE worth $35. Equalling 4 servings of the normal bowl of noodle soup, should you finish it in the hour, you get it for free, and your picture and name on the board of fame. Many have tried (2 women even) and none have succeeded so far... but give it time because the place has only been open for less than a few months. You need to call ahead to tell them if you're planning on taking the challenge but it's very exciting when someone does, they get an introduction with a microphone and everyone looks. It's a pretty big bowl too so it's not for the faint hearted. What a great little place, the western suburbs are looking up and putting themselves on the map with cuisine like this. Awesome Pho. Open 7 Days!
