Reviews Tasting China

Not as crowded as before. Quality food as usual! Love the new spicy dry pot~

Very good standard (food and service) for Canberra.
But you can give all the dumplings in entree menu a miss. None of these are up to standard. BTW there is no restaurant in Canberra serves good enough dumpling, yes forget about Dumpling Place or Dickson Dumpling House etc! None of these would come near Din Tai Fung in Sydney (Gold Standard for Dumpling).

In Canberra for the weekend and my friend took us here as we felt the need to have some Chinese food. It was delicious. Chinese food made modern. And we will definitely be returning to try everything else on the menu.

We did book the morning before we went in for dinner. The restaurant is decorated with cartoon paintings on the walls. The furniture looked like it was straight from China, in a good way. It took you to China. And as did the food.

We had tea ofc, even the tea was presented beautifully in a glass pot. We ordered:

Sea scallops w/ sugar snap peas. It was delicious, the scallops were not overdone. The sesame oil and ginger sauce gave it a very nice taste.

Steamed John Dory - shanghai style (a seriously secret recipe). This was delicious! I was expecting s while fish but if you knew what a John Dory looked like, you'll want the fillets. These fillets melted in your mouth. And that sauce, my goodness! It's to die for. They need to sell it by the bottle!!! That secret recipe!!!

Sichuan beef in hot chilli oil. The numbing pepper gave it a weird sensation in your mouth, was not a fan.

Peking shredded pork with pancakes. Kinda like Peking duck but with pork. It was average. I think I prefer the duck.

Ling fish and mushroom soup. It was very delicious and very warming as Canberra was a cold 4 degrees that night.

Sweet corn and salted duck egg yolk! I have never seen this before. And I love corn and salty egg so I had to try it, it did not disappoint! Very tasty!

Delightful food, great service, see you next time and we can't wait!

SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN GOOD!!!!!!
Strongly recommend the wagyu beef!!!!!
Great service and great food, what more could you possibly ask for?
Such a relaxing environment too

It was quite nice, never noticed that there is a little Chinese cuisine at this place..

Great atmosphere, delicious food and quick service. Dined on a Tuesday evening at 6pm. The restaurant wasn't entirely full which meant it wasn't very noisy and great for conversations. Had the following dishes: - Veggie spring rolls - Peking duck pancakes - Golden sand prawns with salted duck egg yolk and black sesame - Salt and pepper tofu - Angus Scotch fillet and black pepper sauce - Lotus root and seasonal greens Would return again for the food.

The food here are delicious. They offer Chinese food from a number of different regions in China. It's definitely worth trying if you're in Canberra City and looking food lower cost lower commitment type of food.
