Honestly I've been here so many times and the food never fails to impress me šš The taste is authentic without being over the top, and they're consistent with service as well!
Bianca: So Iām currently obsessed with dan dan noodles and have been on the hunt for some of the best in Sydney. I donāt know how far Iāll get with this search because I canāt go beyond the amaze Dan Dan at 257 Home Kitchen.Ā 257 Home Kitchen specialises inĀ Shanghainese cuisine, the ShengĀ jian bao are repeat favourites. I cannot express just how much I love this restaurant! Definitely, one of the more modern restaurants on the Eastwood strip, competing with the recently refurbed Taste of Shanghai.Ā Iāve probably visited 6 times in the space of 2 months.
Love the food, decor and service here...
I am actually typing the review in the restaurant right now as the food are soooooo delicious here... will definitely come back!
This is recommended by many of my friends. Iām surprised by how neat and clean it is, compare to other restaurants. We enjoyed all the dishes, especially the mud crab! All are yummy and not as greasy as usual Chinese cuisine. Sure would visit it again!
A great casual Chinese restaurant specialising shanghai dishes. The dining ambience is very clean and modern, attentive staff and the food is really good. The shanghaied pan-fried buns are fantastic and a must order! The price is decent, too!
We had the Cumin Lamb, friend dumplings, jelly fish salad and the tofu with egg yolk. Yums x4!
Word of advice the weekend- book ahead or you will get turned away.
I saw the poor wait staff reply: "Please don't yell at
me - I only work here (I'm not the boss/owner) to a rather nasty 'walk-in' customer. š³
A great shanghai style restaurant. The staff are friendly and happy to help. The food servings are generous and taste fantastic. Very neat and clean.
Favourite place for Chinese in Eastwood! Menu offers a wide selection of authentic Chinese dishes, food is always cooked to a consistent standard - also love the modern decor and interior design of the place.
Favourites are the dan dan noodles ($12.80), fried noodles with yellow chives and pork ($13.80) and pan seared pork dumplings ($9.80) - so delicious! Also really love the barramundi with vermicelli and tofu soup ($40.80).
Often very busy on Friday-Sunday nights so would definitely recommend booking!
Don't be fooled by the reviews from non-Chinese people, this place is second to none for their 100% authentic shanghainess cuisine. The soup we had taste exact as how I'd expect it to taste had we ordered it in Shanghai. The sweat and sour fried fish (not its proper English name) was devoured within 10 mins. The pork bun had a thin crust and a juicy filling. Hardly had time to take photos before the food disappeared. Next time I will definitely visit with a larger group so we can order more dishes.
Food is consistently good. Efficient and attentive service. Clean and nice decor. Good prices. One of the best Xiao Long Bao I have had. Shanghai noodles , fried rice, morning glory, salt and pepper pork chop, pan fried pork buns all tasty and fresh. Will be back to try more dishes
Food was excellent. Staff were so accommodating even though we came in ten minutes before kitchen closed. Xiao long bao was full of soup!
We ordered the fried bun, chicken with chilli sauce and stirred fried bak choy with pork crackling. The fried buns are superb! My first bite exploded with soup in bun. The chicken with chilli sauce is very different from the ones I had. This one has strong curry powder taste. As for the bak choy with pork crackling, mediocre. Will be back for other dishes.
their sweet and sour fish is really really good! highly recommended! still very crunchy even when the sauce is poured over it!
xiao long bao is also one of the best is Sydney! pastry doesnāt burst easily..
Every dish was well done and reasonably priced.
Braised pork belly with Quail eggs were unbelievable... it was served in a ceramic pot with a fire underneath to keep in warm.
Spicy dandan noodles were like a high quality malatang dish.
Cumin lamb was done in a way I've never seen before, I really liked how you could taste the heat from the wok even though it wasn't burnt.
Pan fried pork buns were done perfectly.
Steamed barramundi was the highlight. Staff were polite and helpful.
Very good Shanghainese food, on par if not better than the chain alternatives.
We had a wonton soup and giant meatballs with egg yolk filling - both dishes are highly recommended. The service was attentive and quick, bathroom - sparkling clean.
The interior is pleasant as well and I will def come here for dinner
