We came here for Yum Cha for lunch. The food is reasonably priced and delicious and the service impeccable.
I found the food juicy and fresh tasting and prefer it to many other yum cha places I have tried.
I intend to return with the rest of my family so that they can also be wowed by the food.
Ordered UberEATS- shallot pancake, chef dong fried rice and crispy honey chicken. Delicious and well packaged and ready within ten minutes. Only complaint I have is that the shallot pancake was not crispy because of the condensation of the packaging. From order to delivery was about 20-25 minutes - 1.5kms from the restaurant. Will order again.
Excellent yum cha here today. Everything was delicious - s&p squid, chicken mushroom and ginger steamed buns, prawn dumplings, eggplant and my favourite was a crunchy texture pancake encased in dumpling wrapper. So good . Large restaurant in a small group of shops
Had a very enjoyable dinner here with family. Was recommended by my sister and I looked up Zomato and was a little concerned by the lowish score. Not sure whether this is the responsibility of previous owners.
However, the food and the service were extremely good and I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. $12 corkage is okay. The shallot pancakes are made in the restaurant and a particularly good. I also enjoyed the red bean crispy pancake for desert. Thank you
Chef Dong Restaurant provided very good food and service. The menu has a good variety of the standard items and a couple of interesting 'chefs' specials'.The waiting staff are knowledgeable and were happy to explain and accommodate any dietary requirements. Well worth a visit.
Most amazing flavoursome dumplings. Its an absolute pleasure to eat here. Shallot pancakes are my second favourite. The service is very friendly and welcoming.
This little gem is tucked away in a small shopping complex just across from the St Peters library. Since it re-opened with its new owners, new decor and new menu, this place has been a quick dinner favourite for me. They have a large range on their menu, as most local Chinese places do, but no matter what you choose, they really nail the flavour. I recommend the BBC, Peking Duck, or the Pork Belly. Staff are lovely and we usually catch an early dinner with the kids so it's always quiet and the food comes quickly.
Love it.. Amazing food amazing service best yum Cha I have ever had.
Great Yum Cha! I have eaten at Chef Dong a number of times now and their Yum Cha is excellent. Having lived in HK for quite some time I am familiar with how Yum Cha should be done and these guys have it nailed. Great tasting dishes, fast and friendly service in a well decorated and clean restaurant. Putting a window in so you can see the kitchen was a stroke of brilliance to combat the negative press the previous establishment had justifiably received.
Came here with a Scoopon... Fantastic food, one of the best yum cha's I've ever had. Soo fresh and cooked to perfection and the taste of everything was out of this world. Will be back. Well done guys.
EXCELLENT SERVICE AND FOOD!. Came with my family for yumcha the other day to support the business after reading the article in the newspaper. Yum cha was superb! Taste very fresh and was delicious. Loved the fittings and fixtures after it was renovated. Out family decided to came for dinner. Again, we had a great experience and loved the food's presentation. We ordered prawns with shell, salt and pepper eggplant, salt and pepper squid and a lemon chicken. Perhaps next time we should try some of their lively seafoods! Looking forward!
We ordered Peking duck (2 courses), Chef Dong's special pork belly (braised pork belly), and salted fish eggplant hotspot. All the dishes has well balance flavour - eggplant were deep fried before cooked together in a hotpot, and the Peking duck skins were all crispy and had good meat to skin ratio! One tiny little downside is that the portion is slightly smaller than average Chinese restaurant
Chef Dong, a new Chinese restaurant that is a little misunderstood by the public. It is clean modern style restaurant different to the previous restaurant known as Imperial Palace which was closed down due to breaching state’s food standard code. Decorations and the cutleries used were modern and clean. Food is more lightly flavoured. Deserves to be tried by more people. Currently a quite place to have nice food.
I found a new favourite spot for yum cha in Adelaide at Chef Dong. It’s a quiet, suburban restaurant that you could easily drive pass but make an effort to drop in for brunch on the weekend. Piping hot plates served as you order from the menu. Fresh fillings and ingredients make you keep ordering more. Friendly service and decently priced
Great Chinese restaurant, tables were tightly packed and full, staff were turning people away lining up outside who hadn’t booked on a busy Sunday afternoon. Parking out front is limited but there’s plenty of spots on St Peter’s street with a larger car park behind too. The banquet was excellent, good serving sizes and great to share with friends. There were lobsters fresh on display in their tanks too.
Been here twice in 2 months - truly fantastic restaurant. The cooking is so fresh and delicious that I have been impressed I am eating such good quality Chinese food in the suburbs of Adelaide. Even on ridiculously busy nights, the service is timely. I cannot rave enough about how wonderful the Chef Dong Fried Rice is and how amazing the Taiwanese Three Cup Chicken is - definitely recommend everyone trying these dishes and I am certainly going to have them again when I come back!
We had a great lunch. Authentic cuisine. You can't not have the stuffed eggplant - it's a must.
Try the Durian pastries afterwards if you're adventurous - not for everyone tho
Recommended to book first. Without booking you have to wait before a table is available. Delicious yum cha, lots of varieties. Like the spicy chicken feet, tripe, rice in lotus leaf, salt pepper squid tentacles and rice roll. Steamed dumplings are good but the fried stuffs are a bit oily. The crispy duck with pancakes was crispy but too dry. We ordered too much and had leftovers to takeaway. Service was good. Food came out real quick.
The food was nice but not so great, I live spicy meals so if was not up to par for me but major key the meals were very affordable, the service was great as well.
Food was exceptionally good.. w3 had prawn dumplings, s&p squid tentacles & shallot pancake to start.. followed by Scallops with ginger & lemongrass & crispy skin flounder...just delish..
