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 got steamed dims sims - wish we got more they were great. Mains- combination chow mein, sweet & sour pork, beef in black bean, and chicken with cashews. My husband hates veges so wasn't so fussed on the beef and blackbean although it was all good veges like zucchini carrot and broccoli. All in all great food, good price will definitely go back.

I give this place 2 stars out of 5. I ordered Meegoreng, Beef and Broccoli, and some chicken wings…read more The megoreng was over cooked. The sauce was non-existent and it tasted like someone substituted hokien noodles in a Singapore noodle dish. The vegetables were inconsistently chopped. As if diced up by Stevie Wonder himself, you'd get a big chunk of onion, followed by a thin strip which made for an interesting texture throughout the dish. The beef and broccoli ($12.50) was served in an almost clear gravy/broth. It was very thin and gray colored. Also, for charging that much for a small container of beef and broccoli floating in grey broth, they didn't include any white rice. The chicken wings were not bad. The breading and garnish were lovely. Just slightly salty. Overall I wouldn't eat there again. It's over priced and not worth the mediocre quality

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!

Our favourite Chinese restaurant on Brisbane northside and amongst the best I've been to anywhere…read morein the western world. Angela and her husband have been running it for over 20 years and the quality remains superb. For a special occasion try the Peking duck where the whole duck is brought to the table and the skin carved off and served on small pancakes with hoisin sauce and spring onion, then the rest of the duck is taken to the kitchen and made into a delicious San Choy bow. On more normal visits the salt and pepper pork ribs are definitely worth having, as is the sizzling steak and the hot and sour soup - or in fact just about anything on the menu. The service is also exceptional. Hot towels are provided to freshen up, and they are hot! At the end of the meal the ladies at the table are each presented with a single rose. Try the crepes Suzette for dessert - I know they're not Chinese, but a great theatrical experience as they are prepared at your table, as are the liqueur coffees. We have been going there regularly for over 10 years and have never found a better. Last visit we just asked Angela to decide the meal for us and she served us two delicious dishes that weren't on the menu, so we'll definitely be trying that again.

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!
