    Quality/Quantity - Meat and pork dumplings - Good, but the…read morebest ones would be able to retain their soup/juices inside the dumplings. Shredded pork with pickled vegetables - Someone was craving soup, I did not try, but they seemed to like it. Shanghai pan fried pork buns - My favorite. Good proportions with bread and filling. Shanghai salted pork and veg fried rice - Not good or bad, the dish did not stand out, fairly plain but good enough as a comfort dish. String beans with dried shrimp - Gotta have some veggies, same as above. Shanghai stir fried noodles - Another one of my favorite dishes, love those noodles. Tea from real tea leaves, see picture. Atmosphere - Medium size restaurant. Some portions of the restaurant sectioned off, potentially for private events. Open kitchen & open kitchen counter seating. Cool decor. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 8:30pm or 9pm; website hours differ. Direct competitor next door, you might be putting them out of business? Service - Okay, went out of our way to get the waitress and manager attention to let us pay. Our guests are aggressive, and we wanted to make sure we paid. The team was slightly confused, so I had to check with the waitress and manager several times to get their assurances that we were paying. Membership, loyalty program. See website. Price - After all that fighting for the bill, I signed the check in a hurry and did not even know what I paid. I'm guessing $150AUD, $100US...? Which I believe includes tax and tip? Sorry, can't remember. I just remembered being frazzled... Reasonable price for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your 12 locations and growing! Oh, are you a franchise system? Just noticed it on your website.

    My uncle who lives in Ashfield really likes this place. So much, that we went twice in one week and…read moreI can see why. There are some outstanding dishes (XLB) and the prices are quite reasonable for the portion size as compared to other restaurants in Sydney. + Really delicious XLB. Compared to Din Tai Fung's XLB (which I had in Seattle area), I think I enjoyed these more. Soup was good, the filling was nice and smooth. The skin was thin but not as fragile and I even enjoyed the thicker bit where the XLBs are sealed. + Weekday lunch specials are a great deal (~$9.80). + Dishes are prepared quickly without sacrificing quality and presentation. + Pastry with red bean paste was also very good as a dessert. The sesame seeds on top add a nice nuttiness to the flaky pastry.

I was lucky to find a park (even on a Sunday night) and my sat NAB said I was 50 meters away. Lucky, as I walked past the place and only recognized the neon sign. The window is covered by tanks of fish, crab etc. walked into a small restaurant and was concerned about the seating but realized they have another level. Food was very good. The puppies with xo sauce on fried noodles and the fresh fish with ginger and shallots were as good as any Chinese seafood restaurant. The other dishes, such as Peking duck, pork chops with plum sauce, mixed veg, salt and pepper crab and the usual traditional dishes were also surprisingly tasty. The reason I was surprised, is because the restaurant does not look like much. Outdated fitout and very unassuming. The service was reasonable and I did feel sorry for the other two tables with us upstairs, as we were a noisy group with kids and they were small tables of 3 and 4. I would recommend Eaton for their seafood and their pricing was reasonable. Certainly compared to the city/Chinatown Restaurants. Also heard they are open till 2am! So if you had a big night at the pub and are near Ashfield, skip the kebab and go for some quality Chinese. Your stomach will thank you (as well as your tastebuds)
