Golden Crown Seafood - Ashgrove

I know this restaurant looks dingy from the outside and it's interior is no better but the food here is sensational. It's a family business and they're the friendliest to talk to, they're welcoming and try to please. I recommend their BBQ pork ribs (BBQ sauce is so flavourful) , their duck is a great serving size filled with nuts at the bottom and their satay sauce is as authentic as you'll find. I love their beef ho fun noodles, and their stir fry soft noodles too. I don't eat seafood but my parents love their prawns and think there's a good amount per dish. Their fine spices dish (deep fried) is not too greasy and perfectly balanced. And their spring rolls are the best in brisbaneI cannot rate their food better! Lost 0.5 point just for decor but I do know the owners of the store only rent the place and can't do much about renovating it!

8/10. I really like this place. It's a little grubby which is off putting but the food is good. It's suburban, greasy Chinese so if you're expecting anything different you won't like it but it's delicious for what it is. A couple of their meals are really greasy (steer clear of the satay chicken) but everything else I've had from there has always been good. Best fried rice I've ever had, nothing compares.

Other Chinese take aways pale in comparison! Always tasty, quick and really friendly staff after ordering only a few times, the lady knew my name and order by heart. Recommend Fillet Chicken in Crab Meat Sauce, Sate Chicken and the boneless pork ribs yum!Won't eat Chinese food from anywhere else :

The food at this restaurant is amazing. The honey chicken is especially delicious and the prices are very reasonable. I can't believe I lived in the neighborhood for 10 years before trying this place. The décor may be a bit dated, but I was wrong to judge based on appearances. It has become one of my favorite places to get takeout.

From memory the upstairs section of the restaurant featured heavily in the Fitzgerald inquiry. Lots of corrupt police and politicians met here for lunch in the 1970’s. plenty of brown power bags with cash changing hands over Peking duck and spring rolls and long necks of xxxx bitter. Chinese never sell property. The restaurant is just ticking over making residual money from whatever they call food. The strong western sun has warped, buckled and faded the blinds, paint and signage. Just extraordinary. Still a great meal to this day
