I came here with a large group of friends, had a hard time finding the restaurant initially as it did not seem to have a signboard.
The service is absolutely top-notch for a Chinese restaurant, they were quick and friendly.
The main highlight of the dinner would be the two flavour abalone and snow crab noodles. Everyone that comes here, I would absolutely recommend them giving these a try.
I’ve been here countless times with my family and we always order some type of fresh fish , crab or lobster . The chef is very skilled and never has the seafood been over cooked , undercooked or under seasoned
Service here is so so , quite happy with it for a traditional Cantonese restaurant
Nice Cantonese food. Good service. Love their free range chicken dishes, very well prepared. Good fried rice dishes too, I love the scollops egg white one in particular. Well priced and good service.
Came here with groups of friends. Very friendly and attentive staff. Tasty traditional chinese/canton food. Not the cheapest but you get what you paid for (good food and good service).
Very traditional seafood restaurant. This restaurant has two floors. If you visit there in a peaking time, sitting on higher floor is not a wise option. Because the staff may not serve properly. They only go upstairs when they bring with new dishes.
It was relatively quiet for a Friday night when we had dinner here. All night there was only 8 tables. The service was excellent, as they would always refill our tea and change our plates over. We ordered the snow crab that was only special for $138 each, ranging from 2.5-3 pounds, and had it cooked using goose liver sauce. The snow crab turned out less meaty than expected and there wasn't enough goose liver taste.
We also ordered a claypot called "3 cups chicken" from their chef special. The claypot had a lot of chilli and ginger which I didn't like, but my family found the chicken quite tasty. We also had the black pepper wagyu beef, which was tender and well-marinated. The portions were relatively big and was at a reasonable price.
Overall, my family enjoyed the dinner and we would be happy to come back again.
Very good service. Manager was really friendly and attentive. We came here for friends bday. Share 10 dishes and everything was delicious! Would highly recommend.
Found this little gem in Box Hill. It was a pleasant surprise to have found this place. I enjoyed their steamed oysters, xo pipis, jellyfish with chicken and their Mabo tofu dishes. All good quality and not too salty like some of the other chinese restaurants. Decent sizes too. Service is good and attentive. Even have delicious complementary dessert to top it off. Will go back again.
This place is packed during lunch hour. Lots of local here as well. I like their complementary soup which is full of favor and it's one of those traditional grandma's recipes. I had a black pepper eye fillet with rice. It's a very good quality meal, beef was tender and tasty, the broccoli was done perfectly. They know how to make happy customers as I observed all other tables were enjoying their food so much as I did.
Great attentive service and the manager was constantly checking on our big group booking to see how was everything was going. The food here is good sized, good quality and taste tradition. I really enjoyed the chicken and jelly fish salad, fried salty egg chicken, crab noodles. The baby abalone was ok lack a little flavour and the special pre order pigeon dish was nice but I still prefer quail.
The fish here is amazing (not surprisingly!) a great place to go for share dishes - we had a whole fish dish, some green beans and a hot spicy pork between five people and it was more than enough - it's on the pricey side but for traditionally prepared and freshly caught (as in, there's a tank by the entrance) seafood this is a good bet.
Located along Carrington Rd, No. 1 Cafe offers tasty noodles and delicious crab. The atmosphere bustles throughout the night, but it is still a pleasant experience. A spot next to the seafood tank will definitely accompany your meal as you taste the exotic flavours the outlet has to offer.
It was obvious upon arrival that this restaurant had seen better times and is on need of a cosmetic improvement from the entrance, the furniture, the fittings and the upstairs eating area. The service was ok, acceptable, not friendly but efficient; our waitress had a difficulty with local language communications. Apart from all that the food was terrific, verified a tasty and authentic Cantonese style; all dishes looked well presented and fresh. Top marks for the crispy calamari, lobster with noodles and deep fried quail just to name a few. Once you get over the initial visual impression this place really does hit the spot with its food.
Almost Like Hong Kong. After 3 visits to this restaurant, I've seen some good consistency and great food.
My favourite dishes here so far, are Beans in XO Sauce, Hot and Sour Soup, Crab Noodles, THE FRIED FLOUNDER!!!
It's pretty café style and they only accept cash which is a hassle, but on the whole the it's pretty good value for money and the food is pushing top rated for Box Hill as far as I'm concerned.
Very nice. Had a meal herewith group of 20. Food was great. Will definitely go there again.
One of the few Canto places in Box Hill. Great fresh seafood. typically hong kong style. A welcomed change from the northern style places popping up everywhere.
Seafood here is fresh from the tank and cooked and served with all the care fresh seafood needs Brilliant. The crocodile in ginger and shallots was beautifully tender delicately sliced and served with choice broccoli heads steed to perfection. Service was as always efficient polite and charming. Mandarin and grape plate was a nice afterward refresher.
What a delight. As many other reviews have said, the food is well presented, tasty & the service is excellent. The venue is clean & modern. It has a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to spend time there and an aroma of “something yummy” cooking greets you as you come through the door. Family run with attention to detail while being attentive. You get an impression that they care. 5 out of 5.
The coffee is just the best! The place has a home-like atmosphere, with attentive and very kind staff. I highly recommend.
The bedside manners here are amazing and everyone there is so fun and nice. The cafe is clean and drinks are amazing, especially the greenies smoothies!
Great place for a coffee catch up. The place is not too busy on Friday arvo.
Have varieties of food if you are hungry. I only ordered a latte, which taste great.
Very good breakfasts, coffees are great and plenty of seating inside and out.
One of the best cafés I've been to! Friendly staff, delicious food and not to mention...generous portion sizes. Definitely try the avo-smash!!
