It is an appetizer with fried tofu and sauce. The special about this is the sauce, it's unique and I never able to find anything similar anywhere so far. Other Malaysian dishes are equally good as well. You won't be disappointed no matter what you order.

This is all about good food…read more It is a restaurant which is street level in Canberra city within a large retail precinct. There is indoor and out door seating available; it is set up to be functional with little emphasis on the ambience. Dishes we enjoyed were: - pepper salted chilli calamari - honey king prawns - chicken w macadamia nuts and button mushrooms - shan tung lamb - english spinach w garlic sauce The chicken was a beautiful dish, lovely even taste and good flavours. Shan tung lamb is always good here too. Looking for a casual meal on the go, with some friends or passing through. This place serves consistent food which is well priced with efficient service.

I am SO sorry I read them Yelp reviews because this place deserves so much better than Yelp has them rated. The food is excellent -- some of the best I had in Canberra -- and served in generous portions. You have your choice of dining inside or outside. The wait staff is omnipresent without being overbearing. I'm puzzled by the lower reviews, they don't fit my impression of the place at all. I look forward to eating here again the next time I'm in Canberra.

I love Chinese food. I really do. Of all the Chinese variants, however, I think Chinese Malay is…read morethe best. So whenever I come back to Canberra, this is one of the first places I head. It's an institution -- it's been here for as long as I can remember. There are some dishes that you absolutely must try: shantung chicken, shantung lamb, the chinese roast duck, honey prawns, hot rock chicken, chicken fillet with macadamia nut and button mushrooms, the sizzling mongolian lamb. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. You're not paying for fancy decor or white linen table service (in fact, I'm a fan of eating take away) but the food is just something else.

The menu is quite extensive so ask your server if you get overwhelmed. The hot and sour soup was quite yummy and was enough for two small servings.

The dumplings were freshly prepared with good ingredients and excellent seasoning. Recommended.

The first time I tried out Leong Kitchen, I ordered from their (takeaway only) lunch box menu. From…read morethe customer service to the taste of the food, the whole experience was a disappointment. The lady who took our orders behind the counter was loud and rude. She made us feel like she'd rather be somewhere else. Other people can argue that 'that's just how she is', but yelling at customers and making them feel uncomfortable and somewhat attacked chases new customers away. We were pressured to order quickly, seeing how irritated the lady was and didn't want to irritate her even further. I ordered a mixture of chicken, vegetables and fried rice. The food had potential but it lacked flavour. It wouldn't have been so bland if the cook had spent more than 4 minutes preparing it. After receiving our food, we kindly asked for a spoon. Without turning her head to look at us, she continued taking another table's order while yelling that there was a fork in the takeaway bag. It is safe to say, I won't be back anytime soon. [In reply to another reviewer of this restaurant; You're wrong, she's rude to everyone, even Asians]

Iron chef is a nicely sized and well spaced restaurant nestled in Mawson…read more Food: Nothing really special here. What they have on offer, from combination chow mein to laksa and fried rice, is available virtually anywhere in Canberra. The food are cooked well, mind you, but there is no defining dish (or reason for you to travel here) for this restaurant that you can not find elsewhere. Which is a little sad because they have called themselves a Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant but has nothing that differentiate it much from other "Asian restaurants". Prices are all right and they do takeaways as well. One of those restaurants where only if you are nearby and you want Asian food, you can visit but there's more choices within a 5 minute drive. Service: Very friendly and prompt service :) Atmosphere: Both times I went were during weekdays, it was quiet and comfortable. No blaring music nor tight spaces and the staffs don't hurry you along when you are eating.
