We live just down the street from this Hong Kong seafood restaurant, so it's our local and thank heavens it's so good. We have been going every month or so since they moved from Hawthorn to their current location. As regulars, we have eaten many of the choices on the menu as well as custom-prepared seafood for celebrations.The service can be just ok, but if you get one of the experienced waitstaff, the service is exceptional. Our favourite is a hostess (manager/co-owner?) who provides superlative service, friendliness and care. Whenever we see her, we know the night will be good.Our most recent dinner was on Christmas eve. As the forecasts had predicted hot weather, we decided not to cook, b...
Since I do not have to pay for the meal, I do not know whether it is value-for-money.The restaurant is fairly large and not all the tables are occupied for the ( Saturday) night. The ambiance is good, and the waiters are obliging.The dishes come out in a wrong sequence. The eight-jewel duck comes before the soup. The waiter lacks the initiative to ask whether we need any rice to go with the dishes.The chef is a bit heavy handed with salt in some dishes. The filling of the eight-jewel duck is very generous, and tasty, but the presentation is not appealing. Same goes with the long life noodle with taste, texture and presentation far below expected standard.The lotus seed and gingko nuts are tw...
I've eaten many times at this restaurant over the years with my family. I went recently and was poisoned by msg I the first few mouthfuls. The staff were apologetic but basically said it was my fault for not asking first, unfortunately three mouthfuls was enough to make me unwell for the entire night which means there must have been A Lot of MSG as I can tolerate small amounts. They gave me a complementary fried rice however the rest I could not eat. It is expensive for what it is $80 for two for Chinese food with one drink each I find excessive.
Lunched at San Choi yesterday and it was a pleasant experience. This is a bright and comfortable restaurant, with very good, but not pushy, attention from cheerful staff. There is interesting food on the menu, including a number of crispy egg noodle dishes and tasty udon with pork and noodles. Something different. Servings are generous and prices are reasonable. San Choi is licensed and the beer is nice and cold. I would think reservations should be made at weekends. Families are welcome.

We have dined here several times, the food is always good and there is a large menu to choose from, serves are generous and promptly delivered to the table, albeit dishes are a little on the expensive side. The thing I don't like is the impersonal and clinical service, maybe if we were Asian it might be different, but I almost feel like we shouldn't have inconvenienced them by coming. We will return, maybe we will be greeted with a smile next time?
This is a superlative restaurant for connoisseurs and dissenting tastebuds. Starting with the cold dish entree to vet the apetite. Even the condiment of sambal is good enough to be a dish of its own. The organic steam chicken is the smoothest, tastiest ever enhanced by the ginger chives condiments. The porkstrip is done to perfection. Murray cod freshest ever. off course the famous SAN CHOI BAO!!
Discovered this gem years ago and is the one place of delighted conversation for years and into the future. Have the regular dishes and also those to challenge and delight. From for ends first dates to family get togethers to catch up with fiends - the food always delivers. When thinking of this place I cannot do so without a broad grin and the wonderful memories.
Banquet was just ok, we had the second banquet which was nothing special, must admit that I was slightly worried after reading bad zomato reviews, this was after ordering....Fried ice-cream is my favourite and was a disappointment...
