Stone pot squid ink fried rice is a must for me. I don’t care what others are like. This dish earns them 5star from me. It is not some premium ingredients but the tastes and texture just make me feel comfortable.
Loved the variety this restaurant provided. All-in-all costed us ~$90 for these dishes.
Taste: 4.5/5
Value: 4.5/5
Had their lobsters with noodles , crab with glass noodles and squid ink rice. Surprisingly quick on dish serving and huge portion, shared between 5 and struggled to finish.
I come here with friends often / family and the food has always been awesome. The selection is quite varied with traditional but also 'modern choices' that can satisfy anyone's taste buds.
I recommend trying out the salted egg dishes.
The service is relatively quick! The only thing to note is lines are pretty long so go during a weekday (Monday - Thursday) or earlier at 5 - 5.30pm before it gets too busy.
All very good, except never ever order their Peking duck, the worst I’ve ever tasted, should just delete it from the menu
The contestants:
- pan fried pork bun.
- sliced pork tripe with fungus and sprouts
- black truffle fried rice with eel
- deep fried eggplant with bread crumb
- apple flavour lamb ribs in cumin
It’s a tie!! All 5 dishes were a resounding success! So so tasty! Now I understand why there are lines go out the door & people queue even before they open shop.
Did I mention also that their portions are huge and the cost low!?
Too busy stuffing my face to snap pics!
It was our first time to try Mr. Stonepot with extended family. While I try to lower expectations every time we try a new restaurant, it was delicious! The menu was elaborate with a few experimental and quirky dishes. We ordered an assortment of dishes with a few ones standing out from the rest. The breaded eggplant was delicious, as was the fish and the deep fried chicken. Although the dumplings were passable, these were not their best dishes. Overall an excellent dining experience and we will be back!

Food

VERY generous serving sizes. We got three different dumpling dishes and struggled to finish them. They were also a mere $9 or so dollars for each dish which is a price that you can barely get in Sydney with the quantity of the dishes. Would recommend the spicy dumplings as the sauce has so much dynamic flavour to it.
Service
✰✰✰✰
Service was very efficient and quick. As Eastwood is a heavily asian dominated area, some staff members did have trouble understanding English so we switched servers. There wasn't much interaction as we ordered our food by pencilling in a sheet of paper which added to their efficiency.
Ambience
✰✰✰✰✰
Nice, clean location with lots of seating and arrangements. There were two floors in the area so they could accommodate small and large groups.

I've been seeing a lot of their dishes popping up on my social media feeds and I've finally decided to come here after it was avidly recommended by a close friend of mine. I can see why there is always a line for this place and a waiting list even before the place opens.
Very chic place, clean and smells good. The menu is very innovative, food is presented beautifully and tastes equally good. Generous portions. We had the stonepot with Tofu and Mushrooms ( awesome ) going there for that dish again. The sweet lotus stem was something that I have never tasted before, like it. Certain to visit the place again.
This place is a treat! It is busy even on a Monday night, but it didn't take too long to get a table for seven. They also weren't in a hurry to shoo us away once we finished our meal.
We ordered a few stone pot dishes, the creamy squid ink rice with seafood is consistently good. The singapore style barramundi has interesting flavour, tangy, spicy and perfect with rice. However the fish can be fresher.
The pork buns and wontons in red chilli oil were very well done, juicy fillings and not greasy at all. The spinach noodles with seafood was also surprisingly good. Noodles were chewy and garlicky.
The whole meal cost less than 20$pp which is a very good deal. Will definitely come back.
This is The Place for good delicious and reasonably priced Asian Chinese food. The only setback is that the place is narrow and not for relaxing hang-out with friends. You eat and go - probably that’s how they keep the prices reasonable, by having quick turnaround (and not needing to wait too long for a meal..). Fried egg plant is a must have.
This place is your go to for cheap eats and quality food. The Pan fried dumplings - fluffy, not too much dough and the soup + meat is similar to street food in Shanghai.
My other favourite is the ox tongue and okra so tasty and big proportion (enough for 3-4 people). Definitely a must try restaurant when in Eastwood followed by hitting up Black ball or K-Tea across the street to satisfy your bubble tea needs.
Only downside is parking in Eastwood is a pain and patience of going around the block a few times is needed or lady luck to be on your side.
Had 3 dishes pictured n a soup, prices reasonable could be better.. Less oil will be great was going to try the lobster noodle or the crab vermicelli glass noodles but was pressed for time maybe next time. The service does lack attention i don't want to complain but when my son spilt a cup of water all over the table nobody came to attend to it n wipe it dry.
These two points u get 4 stars or else it could be 5stars...
All the food n soup came out hot n very fragrant will still recommend Mr Stonepot for lunch or dinner.
Came today in a large group and didn’t have to wait too long to be seated and the lady helping us did her best to cater to us. The food itself was pretty good. We quite enjoyed the wide selection but there were definitely some things that were a bit experimental and probably didn’t quite hit the mark like the charcoal chicken with durian sauce and popping candy. Very weird combo, not bad but probably shouldn’t be done. Besides that everything else was fine. Service was friendly and the dishes were served in a timely order. May come back for the other things.
I’ve come on multiple occasions as the range and value of the menu is hard to beat. I really enjoy their modern take on Chinese food, and the squid ink seafood fried rice is a go to for me and my family. The dim sum are great too, particularly the pan fried pork buns and wonton in chilli oil. There have been some occasions where we have ordered a stir fry dish and there is only a handful of small pieces of meat within but overall they are generally consistent and I highly recommend the restaurant.
Came here as a big group of 10! Didn’t have to wait long. Food is tasty and good value! I was shocked their lobster with noodles was a very reasonable $88! There is so much variety to choose from here. Will definitely be back.
