Decor fairly dated - reminisce of classic 80’s Chinese restaurant but don’t let that fool you. The food is good. Pay particular attention to the lamb ribs and items on the Chinese menu. Better value as a takeaway rather than dine in. Crispy chicken was a tad dry. Hot pot dishes were done well. Service was excellent.

After all the reviews, we still decided to go and try. The staff were friendly, and dim sum is delicious. With vouchers, we go the deal of $39 for all 8 courses of dim sum. We will surely come back for weekend family meal.

A friend and I came to this restaurant after watching a movie. We ordered a prawn with vegetable dish, and a combination noodle dish. Both were very tasty and loaded with lots of prawns. Will be back for sure!

Had a delectable Chinese meal at Purple Sands recently. Ordered the special tofu, free range steamed chicken, wasabi mayo prawns and pork neck with Chinese broccoli. All the 4 dishes were delicious. The head waitress was friendly and service was good.

Come here regularly and will continue to do so
The service had been excellent lately. Food great, especially the fried rice, shumai and chilli beef!
Busy vibe tonight and lots of Chinese there, a good sign imo :)

I noticed that there has been some serious variation in the range of reviews over recent times. We went there with our dear friends with some trepidation because of this, but they reassured us that they have been there many times and enjoyed the food. They did say that they were aware of the dragon lady.

The service was excellent and very friendly. Recommendations from our friends and from the staff were also great. Crispy chicken and duck with tarot and the prawn and ginger dumplings were a standout. Recommended. May and Amy were lovely.

Great food and great service! The homemade tofu and the special pork ribs are so tasty. If you have a bigger group then you can try the smashed ginger free range chicken. Will totally go back.

One of the best and most economical Asian restaurants in Camberwell. Uses non frozen prawns is always a good start for any restaurant! Great duck of all varieties, and really friendly staff. Only draw back is they are a tad slow, but probably because they have so much business. No brainer as our regular Chinese takeaway. Never close!!!

I have never had a problem with my order being taken so not sure about the other comments and the lady at front of house is always welcoming and the staff efficient.
Tried one of their new dishes on the menu which was chicken with fried breadcrumbs...very tasty dish maybe a tad less salt for my taste but was very good. Their ginger and meat prawns are always good, always reliable and friendly service.

Ate there tonight with the family. Good food and we found the staff to be very friendly, even got the recipe for the pork belly. My youngest said it's one of the best dinners she's ever had. Not cheap but quality food, everything we ordered was delicious.

The $10 lunch sweet and sour pork was good - just like I expected the dish to be - 4 stars. The $15 BBQ pork/duck was so so - 3 stars? Quiet during late lunch hour.

I have ordered from purple sands many times via Menu Log. ( thusly I'm unable to speak to face-to-face customer service) Each time the food has been well presented; great care was taken in the packaging. It arrived quickly (still piping hot) The food was excellent, fresh well prepared , I would highly recommend anything with prawns. The reviews on here talking about the food, are so far removed from my experience I suspect some kind of shenanigans.
