I've been here a number of times before for casual family dining, and I always find it to be an…read moreenjoyable dinning experience. The restaurant itself is a typical Chinese restaurant with poor furnishings and a lack of design and appeal. The tables are squeezed in to maximize space and noise levels can get high at times. The food however was very tasty and hearty. The prices were reasonable, and the serving sizes were adequate. I found their crab to be cooked exceptionally well here, in comparison to other restaurants of the same class. The flavors they use on their traditional crab, just seem tastier than usual. The service here is also good as staff are attentive, and the food arrives relatively quickly. This is a good causal Chinese restaurant to dine at if you're too tired to cook. Simple and local, probably would pick somewhere a bit nicer if it was for a special occasion though.

Most dishes here are well made, expected as this place has been around for a long time. Some dishes like crab with spring onion sauce on noodles is delicious. Many others, such as salt & pepper chicken ribs, are edible but not outstanding. Service is quite fast and waiters are polite. However they add a surcharge for all credit card payments, so it's better to bring enough cash.

The roast duck here is mad good!…read more The duck meat was tender and juicy with just the nice amount of duck fat and crispiest duck skin ever. I could eat this all day, every day. They are very reasonably priced too, $12 for rice plate or alternatively you can have the whole duck for $ 38 - the portions were generous! Nothing much going on in term of ambiance, design was very standard to other Chinese place in the area. Also, don't expect tender loving care here, you will be disappointed. Overall, great Cantonese food, budget friendly, quick and reliable! Tip: Cash only.

A casual Hong Kong Style Cantonese restaurant in Box Hill…read more Cash only and no reservations as far as I could tell. Well worth the wait though. Authentic, awesome tasting food with friendly wait staff. We were a party of 10, so we got to try over a dozen dishes. The interior is nothing fancy, but the food is as good as anything I have had in Hong Kong. Our favorite dishes were: Roast Duck - excellent, crispy skin, juicy meet, great flavor Soya sauce chicken - perfect, authentic, just how it is meant to be done BBQ Roast Pork - Excellent, very tender, just the right amount of fat, that was also soft and tasty. Crocodile with xo chili sauce - This is the best crocodile meat dish I have ever had. They must pound the meat because it was very tender and went so well with the bold sauce. This should be their signature dish. Green beans, pork and dried fish. Excellent. I could eat this all day. Scallops with vegetable - Excellent, lots of flavor Prawns and egg whites - Loved this, large prawns, cooked perfectly with that fresh crunch. Singapore Noodles - Very tasty Mango Chicken - Tasty, good for kids and less adventurous eaters

Have been wanting to go for Yum Cha for years (i am not local). Had an opportunity today with a…read morefriend and my 4 year old son. At the entry, we saw plenty of available tables and no signage stating to book. We were asked if we had a booking but did not. An asian speaking couple behind us (we are not asian) were spoken to in non-english and taken in ahead of us, which immediately left a bad impression so we went elsewhere. There is no requirement to book anywhere at the entry point.

The regular servings are on the small side so value for money is not great especially if you are super hungry, however it is great if you are a small group and just want to try a few different things. If you come as a large group there is a more private area at the back - and make sure you ask for large servings. The menu is large and glossy with lots of photos for people who don't know what they are ordering, but like all catalogues the food looks better in the photographs. The view is great is you are seated by the window - but keep in mind most tables are well away from the view.

While the decor and the service have not changed, the quality of the food certainly has. The dumplings were high quality, with fresh seafood (prawn and crab) inside the thin casings; the peking duck was the highlight, despite the fact they are assembled before they got to the table; the pork and eggplant hot pot wasn't far behind in terms of making you want more; even the fried rice, while a little pricey for the size, was better than average. It seems the more obscure your liking (more traditional), the better it gets. The abalone is on my list for next time! Don't be put off by the look of the place, with quantness comes the ability to BYO, and that is always a bonus.

The woman who took our order both times was also very difficult to talk to. She misunderstood us several times. In the end my mother in law ended up ordering in Cantonese for us.

They were exceptionally accommodating tonight, as they were solidly booked (which tells you how good they are) yet they found a way to squeeze us in if we went a little early, which was no problem at all. The food is as beautiful as the decor and the service was top notch. I had the Pan Fried Curried Beef Dumplings and the Sweet and Sour Chicken in Batter which were both SO incredibly delicious. Everyone else at the table loved their meal too and we will definitely come back. It can get a little loud, but again, good service, good food and it was a really nice dining experience. I highly recommend it.

DO NOT DINE HERE!!!…read more My family and I have been ordering takeaway from Chois for years. This was our first time dining in. Our booking was confused with another large group and we were placed in the private dining room. The manager Amy began to ABUSE my mother about conversations that occurred over the phone with the other group. My mother was accused of hanging up the phone and disregarding emails. Amy the manager then realised that she had confused us for another group and did not apologise or explain her lack of professionalism. Amy instructed us to move to the main dining room where the rest of the dining staff greeted us with animosity. The food service was fine and we managed to salvage the rest of our evening. The bill arrived and we were charged $39 for WATER($13 per bottle). We specifically requested tap water and the waiters accused us of requesting still. We tried to reason with them but they treated us with the same rudeness that they displayed at the start of our evening. The food was unbelievable expensive and they charged us a $25 fee for brining our own birthday cake. After the water debacle our night was completely ruined. We went there for a birthday celebration and had the most memorable night of our lives FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.
