We had the clay pot chicken/mushroom and pork belly rice. Very tasty, fresh & great quality ingredients. We'll be back to try the other dishes.

Great place, great service and amazing food. Recommend the crab if you can take a bit of heat, there is no alcohol on offer but a good selection of drinks and is child friendly. They do takeaways too.

This place is tiny so booking is a must and seems to be much quieter for lunch than dinner.

I was pleasantly surprised that the food was really good!
We ordered the lamb ribs and skewers and the meat just falls off from the bone and melts in your mouth!

I really like the ambiance of this little restaurant. It feels quite open and relaxed. Loved the decoration. Service was very good too.
Foodwise, it's really good. I liked the Pork belly skewer, which literally melt in your mouth. Ribs are nice and juicy, meat just fell off the bone. It gets a bit oily after eating all that meat. Fortunately they put heaps of lemon in the water, which helped quite a bit.
I can't wait to try their Peking duck next time.

Very fresh food, the Jude dumplings and spring onion Roti was my fave out of our 5 dishes, the skewers weren't skewers just cubes of meat and quite dry, and as we got takeaway I would have expected the food to be a bit cheaper then dining in but it was the same price as dine in.

It is a very cute place...!!! The pork hot pot rice is very nice. On the top there are also some verges:) I also ordered a boiled spinach which is not on their menu. They cooked that for me, and when I arrived they also asked if I want add some chicken soup into the spinach dish. I will recommend you to come especially for their hot pot rice. That is so yummy. The service is good and the circumstance is nice as well.

Perfect spot for group gathering to nibble and drink. Various dishes to choose from (chicken, pork, beef, lamb, squid, noddles, riceā€¦), we went on a weekday but itā€™s quite busy, better make a reservation if you plan a weekend visit.

About three years ago I stayed in a nearby hotel. Feeling hungry I went to Mr Charcoal for dinner not realising that the restaurant catered for mainly Chinese patrons. The menu was all in Chinese, so I did what I normally do when travelling overseas, I let the server decide what Iā€™m going to eat. The food was absolutely delicious. So I took a photo of each dish and each time I visit I show the photos to the server and thereā€™s no confusion. If you like delicious Chinese food Mr Charcoal is the place to go.

Looking for other places to eat at 8 in the evening in Albany, we found this place full to the pack. Good thing, a table was available. Noisy but ambiance was upbeat and crowd of almost yuppies. Service was fast and came in no time. Food was delish so as the price. Would recommend the place to friends.

Came here with the family, we are a group of 11 with one toddler. The staff were great and the food was delicious. Chinese food with a modern twist but still taste like Asian food. Highly recommend booking since the sitting is limited but takeaway is available.

Stayed open late and had a great variety of food with varying levels of spices. The staff were also very accomodating to serve for gluten free as he too was coeliac. Saved our night !

I loved the food and I've found that they were selling the Korean cold noodle soup which has kimchi on it. I thought that's Chinese restaurant. Maybe it's an East Asian restaurant. I'm confused with the concept. BTW food is amazing.

We ate here tonight and the food was pretty good. Price was fair and the staff were attentive. Although if you like the usual cuts of meat (chicken breast, etc) there is slightly limited choices. All in all it is a great place to eat
