I was brought up on Kantong. Every family has their own little rituals, and well, whenever I go to…read moremy folks for dinner, we always get Kantong, put on a cheesy action movie and have a Chinese feast carpet picnic in the lounge room. Kantong is a stalwart of the Everton Shopping Village. Other shops come and go, but I'm fairly sure Kantong will always be there. It is, by far, the best Chinese place in this particular northern pocket. Highlights on the menu include the curry puffs ($5.50) which are always crispy, and make the most satisfying CRUNCH noise when you bite into them. I always opt for the Beef and Black Bean ($10.00), and occasionally I'll splash out and get the sweet and sour pork ($10.00). Also, I don't know what it is about their fried rice ($5.90), but I could eat buckets of it in one sitting. For you seafood fiends out there, you'll be happy to know they have a wide range of fantastic seafood options. Hell, there's five different options for scallops alone! If you call ahead, they're good at giving you a good approximate time to come and pick it up. If you eat in, enjoy the humble and relaxed setting. I reckon almost everyone living in this pocket of the northern suburbs would have Kantong on auto dial. Best part? When we call, they know us by the sound of our voice. There's nothing like being able to say 'the usual'. Yes!

I've only ordered from this place once and I wasn't disappointed at all. Over the phone the lady…read morewas really polite. She made me feel like I was the most important customer she had. When I drove over and picked up my food she kept the same attitude, that was reassuring that she cared about her customers. There's not much I can add to what's already been stated. However I will say that if you order from Kan Tong I recommend that on the appetiser side you go with the beef satays skewars. They're always tender and the sauce is one of the best I have ever had in Brisbane. On the Mains, I can never go past the chicken in black pepper sauce. The spice is just the right amount and the sauce is nice and thick coating all the meat and vegetables. Do yourself a favour and hit them up.

We choose to visit Sun Chung Cafe upon the recommendation of the preview Yelp reviewer and almost…read moreregretted our decision when we got there. Sun Chung Cafe is just in a small complex of shops on Gympie Road and it looks run down! Like, really run down. There's hardly anywhere to sit inside, so you can tell they just focus on takeaways only. Dine in even incurs a 10% increase, so if the decor wasn't enough to discourage you, the price hike might. However, the meal prices were crazily cheap, so we stuck with it and WOW, am I glad we did! When we got home and opened those takeaway containers, the meals looked and smelt fantastic. We had ordered Lemon Chicken, Chicken special with ginger and shallot and Mongolian lamb. Lisa (previous reviewer) wasn't kidding about big succulent pieces of meat. The Lemon chicken was something spectacular and the chicken and lamb in the other two dishes were so tender and delicious. And so much food! The dishes were really generous sizes, and for less than $10 a dish! Sun Chung has definitely raced to the top of my Chinese Takeaway list - we ordered 3 dishes and large rice and paid just under $30! What a bargain!

I just love eating in at Chinese Restaurants. The token fish tank, cheap table cloths and…read moredistinctive lantern tassels that dangle from the ceiling. All of these characteristics evoke within me fond childhood memories. For this reason (and this reason alone) I regularly eat in at my local Chinese restaurant, Albany Court. The food is good but nothing to write home about - I usually order King Prawn with Cashews, it's pretty tasty but you don't get a lot of prawns. It does kind of annoy me that it is so much more expensive to dine in than it is to take-away. The best thing about Albany Court is that it has all of the classic Chinese restaurant characteristics listed above and more, this is why I will keep going back!

According to the menu - John Farnham has been here and recommends the quail! Although I have never…read moreseen John here (damn) I did take his advice and order the quail - which if you are patient enough to pick through the tiny little bones - is pretty tasty. I do not usually go to Aspley Oriental for the dinner menu however - I go for Yum Cha! Yummm cha!! The lovely little dumplings and mango pancakes that come rolling past on cute little trolleys send my tastebuds into a frenzy! I love the prawn gow gees, the pork and peanut dumplings and the vegetarian spring rolls. On the downside, the manager sits Westerners and Chinese in different areas and the Chinese area gets priority, sometimes all the good things are gone or cold which is quite annoying. Aspley Oriental is probably the most expensive Yum Cha restaurant I have been too which is also a bit of a bummer. It is best to go on the weekends as there is much more variety, you do have to wait outside for a while though unfortunately. The food is good though, and worth the wait.

It's conveniently located in Carseldine Central where parking is plentiful. I wasn't expecting too much when we went there, and I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The dumplings were excellent, and the mains were awesome. The Sichuan beef stir fry, salt and pepper calamari and satay chicken were particular standouts. The drinks were made from scratch and were refreshing and scrumptious! I loved the Lychee twist and Lemon Lime and Bitters. Service was friendly and attentive, making this restaurant a good alternative to Sunnybank where service is an afterthought (and often feels like taking a trip to Timbuktu). This restaurant is a great addition to the Northside culinary scene and I expect this eatery to become more popular as time goes by.

The restaurant is subdued, relaxed and not too flashy, and serves its meals in the traditional manner (plates to share). The menu is extensive and has some great Chinese and Malaysian options. The staff expect to have to help you with menu choices because some of the menu listings are a little abstract to say the least. "Seafood Supreme in Birds Nest" ($19.50) is such an example. The San Choi Bau ($18.50) is high on my list of recommendations, as is the Braised King Prawns in Champagne Sauce ($17.50). There is a spinning plate in the middle of each round table, which makes sharing easy to manage. I've always enjoyed coming here- it's a neat, tucked away restaurant that is as good as any Chinese Malaysian place that you'll find in the more popular inner suburbs. It's all in the name 'Treasure House'.
