This place IS AMAZING!!!! I’ve eaten my fair share of Chinese while up in QLD and wow oh wow I love this place!
Our waiter was seriously good - my 6 year old was chatting in mandarin as my son is learning and he was heaps of fun!
Fried rice. Perfect in every way. Slightly crunchy rice and it was full of chicken and flavour.
Sweet and sour chicken they did for us - it was crunchy, sweet and full of yummy pineapple.
Spring rolls - my 2 year old ate 3 of them and all of us loved them.
Such a good place to bring children, with a bottle of rosé it was only $70 and we tipped $20 as it was worth it.
Coming back .... very soon!
Asian greens were soggy, terrible!
Authentic Chinese food in, where else, Chinatown Fortitude Valley! The fried rice was so good, had to go back for a second order for our group of 3. Friendly service, the manager/owner even stopped by our table for a chat. Definitely recommended!
One of my favorite restaurants in the Valley, its my go to for take away and the staff are amazingly friendly, we never have to wait and well priced.
Hands down, the best Chinese in The Valley.
Consistently wonderful food. Kitchen often make me up non-menu items with zero fuss. Very quick service and very good value. I highly recommend!
There are mixed reviews on here for the enjoy inn. It would seem that for the oriental customers this place lacks, but for the western customer it's a gem. Being an Aussie I can only add to this divide being true. No idea how it stacks up against traditional Chinese fare, but if your looking for super tasty western style Chinese, all your favourite flavours, then this place is the jackpot.
Also read some complaints about portion size. Well... there were 6 of us and we paid 30 bucks a head for a banquet and we all rolled out the door and still left a heap there. We will definitely be back! Often.
Great restaurant. Has been consistently good over many years. Great food and excellent customer service. Perfect place in Chinatown to enjoy quality food in a pleasing atmosphere.
I have been coming here for many years and the food is consistently great and abundant! The staff are super friendly and always greet us at the door and walk us out which is a nice touch. No idea about some of these other reviews, never had a bad experience here. My favourites include the Crispy Beef and the Fried Spinach and there are so many yummy seafood and chicken dishes etc. We usually go in a group of about 6 and share our food and we have never paid more than $28 each and have had heaps of food & endless cups of green tea. Worth trying, it's a lovely place to eat & it's always got plenty of Asian customers too which is always a good sign.
This place DOES NOT DO YUM CHA!!!!
I'm sure the restaurant is great but please change it on the cuisine section.
What makes things confusing is that there is another Enjoy Inn which does.
Very good authentic Chinese food. I would definitely come back here again. Very good service from staff. Ordered the chicken chow mien. Salt and pepper mud crab.
Amazing food and fantastic service. My dad has been going to this restaurant for business lunches for years and he is always greeted by his first name and they make sure there is a cold beer waiting for him. Peeking duck is amazing as well as the crispy spinach and salt and pepper prawns. Make sure you get lychees and Ice cream with a side of Galliano to put on top. Yellow that is.
Been here many times and have never been disappointed. Food came out usually really quick and fresh which often makes me wonder why it takes so long to cook the food in any western restaurants. Seafood is always a highlight here. Staff attentive. My DS broke a glass they came and clean straight away, they also cater for our special needs as DS has multiple allergens. Great experience.
Some of the best Chinese in Brisbane. I've been going here since I was a child and the food has remained as great as ever, can be a bit expensive but go all out of a feast.
Would recommend! Best service and best Chinese in town. While it's on the pricey side, it's definitely worth it. We had salt and pepper quail, crispy spinach, crispy beef Peking style (one of the chefs suggestions), lemon chicken and barbecue pork in honey sauce. It loses half a point because the pork was chewy and dry but everything was full of flavour. The food came out in no time as well.
Went on a Sunday for a birthday lunch. Service was great! If your looking for thd textbook Chinese taste then this is the place. The price to Serving size ration for the Szechuan chicken was not good enough. However, they have won many awards for a reason. I would try the Hamilton venue as it is newer, the valley one looked a little run down in appearance. 7.5/10
Great Food. Great food. Portions are getting smaller for the price...
Best Chinese in Brissy!. Like many other Brisbane diners, we have been frequenting the Enjoy Inn for 25 years - We keep on going back, and the reason is simple: The food is great! - Eric and Jackie are the wonderful second-generation maîtres d' at this Brisbane institution, which has stood the test of 30 years and still appears to be going strong - So, the décor is not cutting edge, but who gives a s**t when you can eat the best deep-fried quail in the world (IMHO, and I've tried many quail from many places over the years including mainland China) - Yes, the emphasis is on barbeque and deep-fry, so go prepared with a Lipitor chaser - I could appreciate there are some who may not revel in the menu, but certainly the taste is there, and the service excellent - We now have our menu down pat: Deep fried spinach, the quail, the house's flaming pork spare ribs, scallops avec garlic and shallots, and fried rice - And It's BYO! - And Eric's opening up soon at Hamilton: Can't wait! - If we could just rid that corner of Wickham Street of those council officers that lurk about, gouging smokers who drop their butts on the foot-path!
25 years and have not had a bad meal. I have been going to the enjoy inn for 25 years and have never had a bad meal yet. Peking Duck 1st & 2nd coarse, BBQ Quails, Crispy Beef, Steamed Silver Perch with ginger. Shallot. Man my mouth is watering just writing this review. Thanks Eric for the many great meals over the years.
Outstanding!!!. A group of us enjoyed a fantastic meal at Enjoy Inn...
Starting with wonderful spring rolls and quail, we continued on enjoying the calamari, honey chicken, fried pork, sizzling vegetables, a couple of plates of special fried rice, several dishes of the AMAZING peaking duck and more.
The staff offered us excellent service on a busy Saturday evening where every seat was full... we stumbled out with full stomachs agreeing it was an awesome meal with a great atmosphere, at a good price with lots of BYO wine.
Amazing! Have been going t.... Amazing!
Have been going to this resteraunt for five or so years! Great friendly service and awesome food!
Must try peacking duck (one course is pancakes and two course is pancakes and lettuce) , San chow bou, sizzling steak Chinese style and chicken and cashew!
One of my favourite resteraunts!
Come here EVERY visit to brissy !!!!
Consistently good. This place consistently delivers quality Chinese and excellent service, am yet to have a bad dish.
Best by far. Best chinese in brisy by far. Try the mussels in black bean - to die for.
Now has outdoor seating in the mall which is nice in summer.
I go every Saturday night, never had a bad experience. Always great food and service.
Very quick aswell which is a plus. Excellent place to dine!!
Pretty tasty. We went to Enjoy Inn after exploring China Town and surrounding area, choosing it based on the fact that it was packed, which we thought was a good sign. And it was! We ordered the duck in plum sauce, and beef with black bean, with a side of fried rice. The rice was different to what we were expecting - not the usual gluggy chinese restaurant rice - which was almost disappointing! But it was still nice. The grains were long and thin... Somehow it tasted healthier? The duck was very rich but still delicious, and the beef was very nice too, my partner's favourite. The drinks were VERY reasonably priced, and we were absolutely stuffed upon leaving, didn't even finish our main dishes! Good price for a good night out!
Went to enjoy a couple of Fridays ago, restaurant was packed but the friendly waitstaff turned a table over for us very quickly. The waiter was very engaging and knowledgeable on the place and menu, our orders were taken quickly and drinks and entrees came out lightning fast considering the full restaurant. The quail was so good I thought about changing my main course for two more, that was until the mains arrived which were also top notch. I couldn't fault anything here, absolutely perfect dinning experience. Thanks you everyone at enjoy inn, my new Chinese destination!
Fabulous!. Wow! Cannot believe I had never been to enjoy Inn before tonight! It was sensational! Fantastic service, friendly, knowledgable staff and even more so that the restaurant was packed. The food was just delicious and probably the best quail I have ever had even compared to some of the well known Melbourne Asian restaurants I have dined in. The prices are reasonable and the meals generous. The deep fried coconut pudding and ice cream is a nice little surprise! I'll definitely be back to this special little place!
Meiwei. Crispy beef was fantastic great chinese ...highly recommend it
Always tasty. Never disappointed.. Nothing beats Enjoy Inn on a Friday night. The atmosphere, the hustle and bustle of the Valley, and the exotic smells wafting in from the kitchen, all add up to make this a dining experience my partner and I try to have at least several times a year. Their crispy Peking beef is my favorite - and their crispy roast duck is also highly recommended. The staff are always polite and friendly, and the service is usually quick. It's simply the best Chinese restaurant in Brisbane. End of story.
Fantastic Chinese Food. I have been eating at Enjoy Inn for nearly two decades and the food has always been fresh and extremely tasty.. I recommend their Chinese green vegetables in oyster sauce, special fried rice, salt and pepper calamari and sizzling Szechuan prawns. It gets busy, so either book or get there early.
Food: 7.5/ 10
Service: 7 / 10
Ambience: 6.5 / 10
Absolutely superb. Fast, friendly service and fed a family of 5, including drinks for under $200 (Peking duck, salt and pepper quail: delectable! ) highly recommended!
Wouldnt eat anywhere else!. Best chinese I have ever had, never a bad experience
Great food. I have been going there for over 25 years and always found the food to be great. Eric and his staff always provide great service noting that, at times, there are a few issues with the training of new staff which is understandable. We have recommended this place to others and others have tried to recommend it to us. The Deep Fried Quail with salt and pepper is usually on everyone's entree list and always is on ours. Other great choices are Deep Fried White Bait, Crispy Beef, Prawns Enjoy Inn Style, Chicken in Hot Pot, Peking Duck. Choi Sum with Oyster Sauce.
Enjoy inn was deffintately enjoyed!. Had the crispy beef in peakin style and the chicken hot pot in special sauce. Both were great quality. The dim sim entree was one of the best I've had. Also ordered the fried Chinese sausage (lup chong) but at $8 entree, I don't think that one was worth it.
Overall a nice night out. The food there is a tad more expensive than expected, but it was decent.
I have been eating here for 25 years and the quality has been the same every time we go, I have introduced dozens of friends to this establishment. Must have's are, BBQ Quails, Peking Duck, Mud Crab, Crispy Beef, Hokkien Fried Rice, Enjoy Inn Style Prawns. My mouth is watering just writing this review.
Try the salt and pepper quail!. Love this place. Great food!
Good reliable chinese in the heart of the valley.. Enjoy Inn always pleases and delivers in the heart of the valley.
As with a lot of Chinese restaurants it pays not to order your dish until you want it as ordering multiple dishes at once will likely see them all on your table within about 3 minutes flat!
Great if you are hungry but not for the lingering diner.
Great Food, Service & Value. Haven't been back to Enjoy Inn for a number of years but nothing has changed really. Still very reliable for service, food & good value: 27May11
Nice - but expensive. We had 6 different meals shared between our group. For entrees, the spring rolls were great. Very tasty. The mains were also great, with the BBQ Pork in honey being the pick of the bunch. Service was also top-knotch. All staff were very quick to take away a finished plate or ask if everything was up to standard. The only down-side was the price. For a couple of drinks for each of us plus the 6 meals and spring rolls/dim sims, it was around $215. Will go again - hopefully the prices drop slightly before then.
Quality food every time at Enjoy Inn. Even though it is a fast table turnover you rarely feel rushed and the food is out of sight. I highy recommend the salt and pepper squid. Best ever. The reason why this is one of best Chinese is Brisbane is evident from the first bite. All the ingredients are fresh and made just as you order. Super yummy!!
Very fresh and tasty. Another great chinese for the Valley Mall, a very reliable and fair priced eatery. I would recommend for the the asian food lover. The spicy chicken is great and the dim sims are good too. Bookings are recommended.
Best chinese in Brisbane. The Enjoy Inn has won many awards throughout their history and for good reason. The meals are well priced and the food is of top quality. Will visit again!
Fantastic food experience. Try the deep fried spinach. Unreal flavours. Along with the salt and pepper quail. Amazing.
Best Chinese in Brisbane- end of story
Must try the Quail. The Best Salt and Pepper Quail in Brisbane... and other things a yummy too
Great food!! So good to finally find a place that does good Chinese food 🥰🥰🥰
We had such a yummy Sunday lunch here and water Kayden was great and explains us what we wanted to know. We really enjoyed the food, full of flavor and the prices were good as well. We will be back soon!
Just like it's sister restaurant in Hamilton, the Enjoy Inn doesn't disappoint.
Awesome food, served efficiently at a reasonable price.
