We dined in the upstairs portion of the restaurant ( which is tucked in a multi use building ). Service was friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious. Fresh seafood. Fresh veggies. Portions were decent sized. They do have some pricing quirks to be aware of: There is a minimum spend per person and I believe it varies with party size. They charge a 10% surcharge on Sundays. Not sure if this standard in other restaurants but I doubt it. I'm mentioning it so diners on Sunday are aware. I liked the food enough that I just chalked it up to a vacation u expected expense. I'd eat there again if I had the chance. Notorious MD approved!

I had the curried beef brisket noodle soup and my husband had beef with black beans over rice. The portions are very substantial and prices are very reasonable. The servings are substantial and the food was very good. The food comes out when it is ready so the whole table may not be served at the same time. When you are finished you walk up to the till to pay your bill. Washroom is available but you need to ask for a key. It was very good food at a reasonable price. Great for a casual meal.

It was very nice inside and receives high praise on Google Reviews. We shared the Mongolian Lamb. It was fabulous. We don't have any Mongolian Lamb in the Chinese restaurants near us in Arizona.

The best part of our meal was the bottled beer. The Mongolian beef was not cooked well, it was just soft and soggy in its sauce, which was overly sweet. It came out on a fajita platter sizzling, so truly impressive that it turned out as mushy as it did. There was a lot of potential for that dish to taste better. The stir fried noodles tasted like they had been cooked well at one point, but then frozen, reheated, and rinsed with water to remove any potential flavor that once existed. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty when we arrived, we were seated right in between two other occupied tables, which made it feel like we were all at one big dinner together instead of on our own separate date nights. The people working were very nice - just wish the food was better! This meal was one of our first meals in Sydney and made us really worried that all of our meals here would be overpriced and tasteless - thankfully, there are better options out there.

We were greeted with friendly staff who provided a high chair and baby cutlery for our little one ... we're sold!! The menu provides many options to choose from and has a lovely drinks menu to match. We had the pan fried dumplings, beef brisket hot pot and a sparkling lemonade with plum. The beef brisket hot pot was divine and the meat melted in your mouth. This dish was easy to share and was quite filling. The dumplings were flavorsome and obviously hand made. What are the downsides? Well our dumplings and drinks came after we finished our main course which is a big no no for me, however the food was so delicious I was happy to wait.

Ginger and Shallots is located in the heart of Eastwood and occupies what was previously a KFC…read more Parking is conveniently located on the street and across the street in a large council carpark. Went there in a group of three (two adults and one baby) on a Wednesday night. Reached there at about 6.30pm and got a table rather easily at what is usually a very packed restaurant (Sits about 40 to 50 max). The fit out is acceptable and relatively clean but the downside is that there is only one toilet. In tune with most Asian restaurants, Ginger and Shallots has two televisions broadcasting Hong Kong news. Service was prompt and a clean baby seat was provided as well as child friendly bowl and spoon. The restaurant feels rather cramped and is not pram friendly. The menu is quite extensive and offers a wide range of Chinese and Hong Kong food. We ordered a salt and pepper squid with rice ($10.80) and a Fukien fried rice ($14.80). A very positive aspect of the restaurant and perhaps a declining feature if Asian eateries is that free soup is provided. Even better was the fact that the soup was quite flavoursome, as opposed to some of the more bland servings from other restaurants. Our food took about 15 to 20 minutes to arrive, which was great given that the place was by now pretty packed. The Fukien fried rice looked home cooked in regards to the way that the meat and vegetables were cut. Flavour wise it was good but not the best that I have had. Serving was generous and in line with how most Fukien fried rice is served. The salt and pepper squid with rice was also generous in serving and we'll priced for $10.80. It was refreshing to get some really hot chopped chili as well. Interestingly the dish came with fresh vegetables at the bottom of the squid but it's good that it did given that deep fried squid isn't exactly the healthiest thing around! Taste wise this dish was great. The service was prompt and acceptable especially for an Asian restaurant. Overall the restaurant is well presented and serves good food for a decent price (drinks were around $4). The downside is that it's not the most family friendly joint in terms of design and it can be quite difficult to get a table during peak dinner times. Minimum EFTPOS is $30.

Book early too so you are not encouraged to leave right after the meal. Great food, good atmosphere a place to dine!

#79 for 2021 My…read morecousin wanted to bring me to Barangaroo. She told me to meet her downstairs in the building she works and the restaurant was just outside in the same building. How convenient. She was working a half day to spend the rest with us. It was 2pm and I was starving. She was smart in choosing this time because we noticed it was very busy during the lunch rush. It still was when we got there but a table came up quickly for 3. The restaurant is pretty stylish and modern. The open air seating is very inviting in the middle of the Financial Disctrict. Even with the slight chill air it was nice to be under the sun. Service is not that great here but I could see they were trying. Our server was pleasant making conversation with us. When she found out we were visiting it seemed like she tried to make the whole experience a little better for us by being more attentive. I did peruse the 50 page menu to see what all they had. I wanted it all. The food smelled great. The menu was so intoxicating I told my cousin to order for us. I trusted her decisions. Helps that we like the same kinds of food. 3 dishes would be enough food but my cousin ordered 5 dishes. That's a lot of food. Crispy Pork and Roast Duck combo, Fried Rice, Fried Tofu, squid and Chinese Broccoli Being a Cantonese restaurant my cousin remembered that I would order Chinese Broccoli often here in California. She decided to do the same. Nicely cooked still retaining its' color with a semi natural sweet taste and a little snap. The fried rice is fried rice. Nothing to brag about but good. The tofu was deep fried with a spicy salt. Add nori to it I don't think was necessary but it was good combination. Just didn't like adding more salt to it. The squid too was deep fried with spicy salt. Delicious. Now the pièce de résistance was definitely the pork and duck combo. We're talking lechon quality pork. Very surprising to find that here in a Chinese restaurant because that's a Filipino dish. Combine that with roast duck that was cooked well. This is not the time to talk about how unhealthy this is. Let's just enjoy it for what it is. Two good meats basking in the afternoon glistening proudly and dripping juices of sweetness. Good food with good people. Besides, I was on vacation. Another good eats in Darling Harbour. I'm beginning to think I need to move here.
