My (Chinese Malay) aunt insists on eating here when she visits Adelaide. Customer service is hit and miss but easily overlooked! My faves - Peking duck, chilli chicken and the roast duck. I also firmly believe their deep fried ice cream is THE best I've ever had! Has never disappointed me and I'm a loyal patron.

Unassuming little gem in the upmarket inner southern suburb. We have frequented this family…read morerestaurant for the last 17 years. First impression of this place doesn't really make for a lasting one due to its outdated interior and fittings. There is little ambience, saved by the warm lighting. It is a very 'typical' Chinese restaurant with tacky decorations and scattered Chinese ornaments / pictures which doesn't flow well throughout the space. Interior aside, lets talk food. It is the primary reason for our repeated return. We come here for the seafood with the cheesy lobster dish being a favourite of ours. However, market price for lobster at the moment is around $170 per kg, so we gave that a miss tonight. Service is slow, so, if you can order well in advance, you should, especially for takeaways and traditional, highly prized dishes such as lobster, king crabs, mud crabs, Peking duck and drunken chicken. Tonight, we had the salt and pepper prawns (shell optional - why? who wants to eat the shell?), fried barramundi, Peking ribs, salted fish fried rice, chicken and jellyfish, pork belly in Dong-Po sauce, prawn balls with greens, seafood noodles and hot and sour soup as starters. Everything was lovely, wasn't a big fan of the ribs, because I found the sauce too heavy in sourness. Barramundi wasn't as well seasoned as it could be. Other than that, it was great! Everyone enjoyed the shared meals and pretty much rolled out of there. The place might be outdated, but the consistency of the food is why we return year after year. Price wise, I think it is very reasonable given the area it is located in. Highly recommended.

Our wine was not the one we ordered, they'd served a cheaper wine than what we requested. We took the wine to the counter and asked for 2 new glasses because it was not correct. The taste if the new wine was vastly different from what we were originally served. When our food arrived, the mushroom hot pot was full of HOT chillies! The dish was at least half chili that it was dangerous to consume and we could not eat any of the meal. When we went to pay, they charged us for the wine we returned and the unsatisfactory meal was not a concern for them. Very disappointing...will never go back.

My Yen (or as I like to call it, My Yum) is your perfect Saturday night takeout option. They have a wide variety of takeaway dishes including entrees, chicken, pork, beef, noodles, seafood, rice and soup. On this visit, we opted for spring rolls, BBQ pork (entree), crispy chicken with plum sauce, vegetables with cashew nuts and some serves of steamed rice. All for about $30!! All the dishes were so yummy, with a special shoutout for the crispy chicken with plum sauce! Tender and to die for! Our order was ready in a mere 15-20mins, and the lovely people at the restaurant threw in a bag of those deliciously addictive prawn crackers for free which was a nice a touch. Next time you get the 'I Can't Be Bothered Cooking' feelings...try My Yen out for a tasty dinner.

Well, I actually do that most evenings, but haven't had the pleasure of My Yen for a while....until now! It is still brilliant, and I enjoyed every morsal of my old usual order. There is just something about slightly oily and gooey fried beef with an all encompassing sauce that you can't resist licking out until the container resembles its pre-filled form. I have had the Garlic Prawns and a few other dishes in the past, but I keep going back to the Beef. Fortunately the smell will be with me (in my car) for some days to come!

Despite being tucked away in a secluded location amongst the Glen Osmond Road discount shops, Rice…read moreis busy most nights and hugely popular with locals ordering takeaway. It has a modern fit out - a pleasant surprise for an asian restaurants - in a funky red and white and really friendly staff. I've eaten here with a group of mums and nabbed one of the tables with a lazy susan - great for spinning around shared dishes. I've also eaten plenty of takeaway and when I've been really lazy, taken advantage of the super cheap $3.50 delivery (within 3kms, minimum spend $30). Those in the know say it's authentic Cantonese cooking. The menu is extensive and while I haven't loved all the dishes, if you stick to the usual suspects you won't be disappointed. Most ambitious dish? Basil Cheese Chicken - "tender pieces of chicken tossed with basil, onion with mild chilli soy bean paste on a melt cheese bed and served on a sizzling platter." Don't let that put you off. My favourites are Shredded Roasted Duck Soup for $5.50 and Ants On Greens - "minced pork, sun-dried shrimps and mushroom wok seared in white wine and oyster sauce and served on a fresh greens bed. Don't worry, no ants at all!" for $12. And if you're feeling like a sweet finish, the pancakes with pan-fried red bean custard are delish. Oh, and kinda important, it is fully licensed with a good selection of wines.

Rice was definitely one of my favourites when I was living in the area - sadly not as frequently…read morevisited now I'm on the north eastern side of town, but I still get in once in a while. Eggplant hotpot is my dish of choice, it's something I find few restaurants really do well, and Rice excels at getting it spot on. Lunch specials are excellent value - the beef noodle was a feature on my desk at work many times. I worked with the wife of one of the chefs for a while, and can confirm it's all very authentic Cantonese :) The true test of a chinese restaurant, I took a chinese work colleague there, and he was impressed with both the menu, and the meals we received - he did spend a good five minutes discussing exactly what he wanted in Cantonese with the waitress, mind you - and I believe we had something that wasn't actually ON the menu, but it was all good :) Bookings are a must on Friday and Saturday nights, and recommended on others. Parking on Glen Osmond Road is a pain - make sure you tuck your mirror in, it's a rat race along there. If you go here for a business lunch, let them know and they'll make a point of getting the food to you promptly, or let you know if a dish will potentially take longer.

We ate half (mostly breast), seems normal. When we get to the leg part, we realised many whitish lumps imbedded in the meat. I picked some off to see what they were - they look tumourous or cancerous. Got to be fair, I am not 100% sure. Please refer to the photo attached - can't attach photo!!!!! I notified the waitress right away, who talked to the chef in the kitchen. She came back and said they are normal and certified by the supplier. The kitchen didn't even bother to take a look at it. It only shows me that they knew and served it anyway. I told her to show it to the kitchen, she came out and said they are only lymphatic notes. It was nothing wrong with the duck. They really thought that we are ignorant and dumb. We eat poultries all the time and my husband family had a Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant for over 30 years. Tell me, have you seen prominent lymph notes like this in the legs and thoughts. We know what normal duck meat looks like. For the whole incident, no apologies from any staff, charged us for this duck dish, gave us 10% off for serving what they called diseased ducks, which is potentially harmful to our health. Such a disgrace! What a shame! The kitchen knew when cutting the duck up, but still shamelessly decided to serve the duck to us. It is unforgivable. They didn't own up the mistake, made up excuses, no apologies given and had us paid for a dish that we can't eat. Very disappointing.

Their Yum Cha mainstays are consistently good - I particularly like their radish cake and zhaliang (the chinese donut encased in rice noodle). I can say with certainty that I've never had a bad experience here, be it the staff or the food - but it does get a little crowded and noisy, so bear that in mind if you're coming in during peak hours. Great food, wonderful staff and generous servings all for a fairly good price - Ding Hao is hard to beat for Yum Cha in Adelaide.

Located next to the court house on Gouger Street (in which I have yet to be convicted of anything in.....yay for me), Ding Hao is known as one of the top Chinese restaurants in the city. Although the normal menu is nothing to sniff at, it's all about the Yum Cha! I have noticed that one of my fellow Yelpers, Andrew C, has named the place 'Best in Adelaide for Yum Cha'. Energetic and stinging Hi-Five's coming your way Andrew, becuase I am in full agreement! Everytime I head in there and see that wonderful check list of tantilising bite sized morsels, tears of joy begin to well and the 'ticks' begin to fill more spaces than they should! The dumpling casings are soft but firm and the filling is high quality, stupidly hot and 'heart skip a beat' tasty. The steamer boxes keep coming, just as you have knocked off the previous one, and before long the weight of your over enthusiastic ordering hits you. Somehow I always seem to battle through and finish every last dumpling and steam bun (I am quite the trooper!). Some days can get busy, so book ahead, but if you are looking for a feed for lunch during the week you shouldn't have too many problems.
