Nothing much to write about in this fast food, eat-in and takeaway Chinese restaurant. Laminex tables and tiled floor with an oversized TV on the wall says, it's as much about meeting people for a quick meal versus anything gourmet. Typical local Chinese food cooked quickly and served piping hot and plenty of it, but just missing the 'tasty' mark. Although most restaurants in this busy strip were busy this Sunday evening, it was easy to find a spare table here, which says a bit about its popularity. Would we return? Probably not. But if you're in a hurry, and there are free tables, jump in.
I’ve visited again recently. The restaurant is under new management. I had the combination chow mein with crispy noodles and the combination short and long soup. The dishes were overall quite OK but they did seem to use more oil than previously and perhaps a request could be put through to reduce the amount used. The dishes also didn’t seem as holistic as before. The same ingredients were there but they just didn’t blend in together as well. The service was friendly but there were a few minor lapses (bringing only one set of chilli sauce when two were requested and bringing two separate bowls for soup but with no accompanying spoons). I do get the impression that it’s a restaurant that needs to settle down a bit and it remains to be seen how it’ll turn out.
This used to be a local favourite - good Australian style Chinese food - not for the purists but reliably tasty, cheap and always friendly. Under new owners the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly, the local atmosphere has been destroyed by a karoke machine that is completely out of place, all the friendly staff have been replaced, and in what was a BYO favourite a corkage charge per head has been introduced that is no doubt the first step in jacking up the prices. This business has been a Coogee favourite for over 40 years. While it might survive the summer on the back of unsuspecting tourists, the locals are deserting in droves. Avoid.
