I have no idea why I never see this place full. I went here because regular Balmoral joint was full. And it was a good thing I ended up here because the food here is great. I recommend the Sichuan rice noodle dish.
normally always go to spicy house but as they were closed we thought we would try somewhere new! the food was nice and fresh and better than spicy house! we will definitively be coming back and the workers were lovely also a lot of room and the restaurant was cool due to air con
Really good food! Limited vegetarian offerings but whatever they could do vegetarian, they did well! Clean facilities, quick courteous service! I'd recommend to the owners / operators to label the menus properly & consistently about the food - like vegetarian, vegan, heat content (chillies) etc to become more customer friendly! Will surely recommend! & will definitely come again!!
Nice dishes. Friendly people. I have been there about 5times. When I try new dishes, almost dishes were really nice. Just one time Tantan noodle was bit salty for me.
One of the hidden gems of dominion road.
A bit on the pricey side but the food is worth it. The chef knows what he's doing.
Oh and try their jellyfish salad. it's a delight that makes me keep going back there.
Probably the best Asian eatery that I've been to on Dominion road so far.
I loved the intensity of flavours without it being over salty which some places have a tendency to be.
Huge winner for me was that every item on the menu had a picture which was great to know what you would be expecting - most menu items surpassed expectation when it arrived on the table also.
The service is fast and friendly and matched with with the delicious food, I couldn't really fault the place.
The value for money is incredible in my opinion.
I would highly recommend trying the sizzling peppered beef, cumin lamb and sour & spicy soup.
Come here for lunch with my partner. Clean table, Clean bath room, friendly service. I love their Chinese style salad so much!!! That's I have to order another set to take away for my dinner, everything taste nice.
The beef noodle soup is really good. I asked for it medium spicy and it was perfect. Loved the texture of noodles and the beef broth was flavoursome. This was well worth $9. Fried dumplings are good; they won't charge extra for frying or steaming but you get only 16 dumplings for $10. I noticed lots of customers ordering hot pots, so I must try this next time I'm here. There are plenty of vents from the ceiling to prevent smells, condensed windows and humudity. The eftpos machine ran out of paper when we went to pay and it took really long for them to fix it, so it was lucky I had cash to pay for the both of us. Overall the food was delicious, service could have been more observant, and store front & bathroom was very clean. It's very easy to walk past and overlook this place as there is no Metro sticker or price menu on the window but I'm glad I tried this place out and I'll definitely be returning.
If you like your food a little spicy, Café Manchuria is great.
The Spicy Eggplant is an essential, but so many other things to try.
Prices are around $15-$30.
Great value, big portions and swift service. It also has A+ hygiene rating. For me, the only downsides were the decor and physical menus being a little dated and the humidity from the kitchen. Badly needs an a/c unit. Other than that it's great value for money. Will be returning again.
