Perfect spot for group gathering to nibble and drink. Various dishes to choose from (chicken, pork, beef, lamb, squid, noddles, rice…), we went on a weekday but it’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 I’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 there’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.
Not bad for weekend catching up and BBQ screwers are North Eastern Chinese flavor, love it !
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
Will go again for a quick midweek feed. Good value large plates. Scewers maybe not so much
Great service and great food. It's worth to go back again to try other food. However, please make reservation on weekends before going :)
