There were two styles served with the mud crab – an XO sauce on vermicelli noodles, or ginger and shallots on egg noodles. As it was a Monday night, three crabs were pre-ordered for the six of just to be sure they didn’t run out.
Very traditional China food but less oil with healthy cooking way. Love the entry soup and the followed dessert after meal. Steamed fish and stir fried vegetables are my favourite.
Authentic taste, poor service. Taste is superb, however poor plating. Also, it takes less than half a second to smile, so spare us some?
Wonderful, speedy and reasonable prices was our experience. Hot, well seasoned good spaces was the universal approval around our table.
Great Chinese Seafood restaurant with poor serivce. I have a love-hate relationship with this restaurant last 10 years. It has wonderful Chinese seafood (especially mud crab) and I hated the terrible service. I have previously wrote a complaint letter due to its poor service but I still keep coming back because the food is very good (non sea food dishes are also very nice too). I have probably visited this restaurant over 20 times in 10 years.
It's like a typical Chinese restaurant in Asian countries, you go for the food and but not for service.
We discovered this place today, 2/4. The seafood laksa was excellent, full of flavour, a good amount of seafood, veg, and tofu. The special fry rice, Mongolian beef and mixed vegetables were also great. The price is fair for the quality of the food.
We will be back to try more dishes. Keep the delicious flavours going!
Thank you

My friend Anj recommended Jimmy's, so last Friday, I decided to take my family there. They have a great selection of takeaway family meals, though, so we decided to just takeaway. Pack A ($43.89, good for four) came with Mongolian Beef (truly delicious!), boneless Chicken with Lemon Sauce (moist and flavourful), fried rice (my kids took it all), and three spring rolls that were great but probably would have been even better if we had them freshly fried (we took 15 minutes to get home). We also ordered a hot and sour soup that my wife enjoyed. The counter lady was very friendly and we didn't wait long for our food. Overall, a great experience, we would definitely return and dine in so that we can really enjoy all that food fresh from their kitchen.
Absolutely love this place, every time I come to Canberra we always take our 94 year mum there, they pamper her with smiles and beautifully prepared food.
Everyone must experience Jimmy's Place at least once ( you will be hooked)
Love mud crab at this place, make our trip there every few months (from Sydney) and their dishes are at their absolute top standard.
Must try if ever drop by Canberra.
Nice and spacious restaurant with some great dishes such as their crispy chicken. Vegetable dishes were fresh and al dente.
Szechuan fish felt westernised and lacked the required pungency and spiciness while the fried desserts were a bit stale...
