We stumbled into this place because we were gonna watch a movie at Hayden Orpheum and needed…read moresomewhere to have a quick meal. They have nice contemporary Chinese Art Deco inside, with soft jazz playing in the background. It's a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of military road. The service was courteous and the food was awesome! We will be back! Come between 5-7pm and you'll get a free entree. Ask for the sesame prawn toast. They're to die for!

Have you ever been hungry and found yourself wishing that you had a time machine, just so you can…read morego back to the 70s and eat mediocre Aussie Chinese food? Have you ever wished that at dinner time you could teleport to Wagga Wagga for all you can eat for $5 Chinese buffet? Or perhaps you are one of those people who only ever season their food with salt and considers soy sauce to be very fancy? Or maybe you were in an accident that left you with no sense of taste? If you have answered yes to any (or indeed all) of these questions then Dais Golden Crown is for you! It is cheap and the servings are huge but that is about all it has going for it. With a menu starring classics such as greasy dim sim, bland chicken chow mein and of course good ol' sweet n sour pork with special guest pineapple lumps - Dais Golden Crown is guaranteed to please anyone who prefers their food not to have flavour. So, unless you are starving, Dominos is closed and IGA is all out of Lean Cuisines - I'd recommend giving this place a miss.

So good. This place warrants your attention. It is a pretty big room, but the food is on point and…read moreauthentically Chinese as the day is long. I really loved how fresh and crisp all the veggies were. Perfectly cooked. Bravo and thank you- look, it might look a little old fashioned from outside, and I know "fancy looking" is the new "tasty", but good food has always been good. And this is good food.

The food is good but the restaurant itself is in desperate need of a refurb. It's like they clutter…read morethe bar with bottles and junk so you can't see what they're doing back there. I stopped in with my partner for a quick meal mid week. We had the fried rice, sizzling steak and honey king prawns. It was all fresh and delicious. I think I'd just get takeout next time though.

Do Chinese restaurants associate a word "gentle" to you? First, let me clearly say that I am a big…read morefan of Chinese food. Since I love Yum Chan, I do not really mind their rather casual (even abrupt) customer service in a typical Chinese restaurant. However, at this restaurant, you might be a bit surprised with their warm welcome as soon as you enter. No wonder this place was full of local customers when we had dinner last week. Some of them behaved like they were regular customers there. All of the staff were very attentive and I felt they were taking a good care of customers. Another great thing about this restaurant was their sophisticated dishes. All the dishes we had were properly cooked and I could taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. Great foods with a gentle service cannot go wrong, even though the price was set a bit higher than average Chinese restaurants.

It's really literal (like a lot of Australian places)...kind of like General Pants Company, BWS, Chinese Noodle Restaurant, but in the same vein of those places, the name belies how good the place is. The food is on point!!!! Wanted to grab a bite after catching Vivid Sydney from across the Harbour and was pleasantly surprised by this joint. Good decor, friendly service, and a huge variety of tasty dishes. If you come on Monday-Tuesday it's $10 for all tapas, provided cash only...and they do yum cha too. Ordered an oyster shot, pork belly pancakes, seaweed salad, roasted eggplant, lamb ribs, and pork cutlet for roughly $70...pretty good deal to get stuffed. The standouts were the pork belly pancakes, the lamb ribs, and the eggplant. I'll be back the next time I'm in Kirribilli to try their other dishes...but seriously try those pork belly pancakes.

On a return visit I was really surprised that they wouldn't accept a credit card payment because…read moreall tapas plates were $10 that night. They wanted cash only. I asked how it mattered - was strand action fee or something?? - but was just repeatedly told we'd have to pay $12 a plate to pay by credit card. Didn't make sense. It would have been nice to know that when booking rather than trying to scrap $150 cash together at the end of the meal. Lost one star in my book.
