Now this is not a place for you to go to a date - it is a no-frills kind of place. But if you want good food and seriously crap prices then this is the place for you. He service is fast and the food is great. Honestly order anything with pork in it. Every dish is great. I love this stuff. The also do a lot of other stuff, but nothing bets the pork dishes. If you are vegetarian they have a whole veggie section. But no where near as good as the meat. I haven't tried the dumplings but people say they are awesome. So you can try your luck.

Great find, fast, tasty and hearty Chinese food across the road from the train station…read more I had the beef noodle soup with soy sauce egg, warmed me up on a chilly evening. Other specialties include dumplings, pork buns and gungbao chicken. Great value, and the best customer service from the friendly staff! Well worth a try if you're in the area

Fried dishes also quite good and for the price is quite reasonable actually. I have to agree with 1 of the 1 star google reviews though where I feel I got cheated by the lobster weight...

A chinese restaurant overcrowded with chinese people must have a good kitchen. It is reasonable…read morepriced and does what you expect from such an establishment. You won't find friendly service or a clean bathroom, but the dishes are generous, traditional and well seasoned. They have set menus for different size groups and are fairly fast. Also, one of the few chinese restaurants where the credit card function of the eftpos machine is not always coincidentally broken when you want to pay. Quick lunch with family, or a nice dinner which is not too expensive. Plenty of parking on the weekend in the garage underneath too. And you can always use the bathroom next door at McDonalds.

GLUTEN FREE: Maureen was very attentive and we appreciated her advice as to how the chef could modify the dishes we chose to accomodate our gluten-free needs MENU selection excellent, including chefs selections and banquet options available. FOOD tender, very tasty, and nicely presented PRICES are rather high though, especially seafood , and many dishes were seasonal quotes. One has to ask and choose carefully. SERVICE: Very good and Maureen a great hostess PARKING: Plenty of parking at rear of Coles, also some street parking available. Easy access for people with mobility restrictions. RESERVATIONS advisable as Chans is very popular. TAKEAWAY menu available.

I'd been here before with my family and had a wonderful meal. With mother's day looming and…read morerelatives visiting us we had a big family dinner here. FOOD We got the set mother's day menu for 8 plus added on a few extra dishes. The quality of food that day was very sub-standard. A full restaurant meant the chef's probably weren't on their best game and were just trying to mass produce the set menu items. They missed out crab as well which we forgot about because there was already too much food. The boss was nice enough to come over himself to apologise and ask us if we wanted them to cook it to take it home with us or he'd take off the $70 from our bill. OVERALL Disappointed that day but I'll be back on another Monday night when the chef's can pay more attention to my food.

This has got to be the best Chinese food in the Hills district. I love going to Blue Dragon. The…read moredecor might be a bit old fashioned and the food rather traditional (they haven't changed their menu in years) but that's because the customers they have like it like that. The menu is written in fractured English but that's part of the charm. I love their Hot and Sour soup, it's really spicy and full flavoured. I 'm not on to eat spring rolls anywhere, they don't appeal to me, instead I will order the Ham and Chicken roll, exactly what it says, the tender chicken is rolled around ham and has a crispy won ton like wrapper. For mains, you can try the unusually named King Prawn Princess or Grandmother Bean Curd, both of them equally delicious or try something a bit more mundane like Curried Pawns, my husband always asked for little prawns because they serve King Prawns or Sweet and Sour Combination. Exceptional!

We picked up a take out on our way back after a good walk along the Cliffs in Sydney. I noticed…read morethat many come here for a full sit down dining experience. So there was a large dining area with many large round tables for groups of 6 to 10, and reservations are required. We decided to try their Chicken Curry Kapitan, Roti Canai, and Stir-fried Tofu with Mixed Vegetables. We order two types of rice - Hainan Chicken flavored and Coconut rice. In all the food was very tasty and pretty authentic. It's also one of the few places that offers a greater variety of food choices - from chili crab dishes to steamed fish. Definitely more for a sit down Malaysian meal instead of just the hawker or street food variety. So if you are looking for a more serious sit down Malaysian meal. This is a good choice.

I haven't been to Istana in years as I don't really find this food authentically Malaysian. So…read morewhen my friends decided to go there for dinner my expectations were low. Very low that Istana had a good chance of proving me wrong FOOD We ordered 4 dishes, 2 of them very Malaysian dishes. Funnily enough it was the belacan kang kong ($17.80) and kapitan chicken ($17.50) that impressed me. Not the best I've had but pretty good for suburban Sydney. The tofu combination hotpot ($24.30) and squid with spiced salt ($18.50) were disappointments though. SERVICE We had to wait a little while for a table because it was so busy but as soon as we were seated and ordered the food came out in no time. Highly recommended you book on a weekend to avoid the inevitable wait as this place is popular. OVERALL Istana... a Malay word meaning palace. Whilst this place isn't really a food palace it's still manages to pass this review.

We did not have the crab on the set menu but they were being enjoyed on the other tables. The four of us decided 5:30pm on a Sunday night for our dinner, thinking it might be quiet. It turned out we just beat the crowds. The restaurant is one of a few on the outside of Westfield shopping centre near the entrance to the movies. There is a playground for kids near the outdoor eating areas. The row of restaurants was packed with families as we were leaving and so was this place.

The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The chef is in total control of the kitchen and nothing gets by him if its substandard.

(you can get away from the karoke by sitting outside which is full covered.)
