The Cherry Blossom - Essendon

This was a favorite and has changed last? Eating is not so good and it was fantastic earlier. a real scandal! Maybe new owners?

We had heard good reports about the cherry blossom, so we decided to give him an attempt. the outside seems pretty dowdy, but it is bright and clean inside. I was a little doubtful about an Asian restaurant cherry blossoms, or sakura are with. japan the menu was mainly Chinese with some Malaysian and other influences. I count myself as a bit of an Asia-Maven, traveled in almost every country in asia east of india. I started with the hot and acidic suppe that was excellent. we had mongolian beef on a nozzle plate. we also had a vegetarian dish, buddha 's delight, that was a hot pot that contained bok choi, broccoli, Chinese mushrooms, baby mais, tofu and other Chinese greens in a tangy sauce. in all it was a delicious meal. the restaurant is byo, only wine, plus cork. the only point I would remember was that the sauces are rather a trifle sweet. price are reasonable, about $25 per head, which is about normal in these days.

Now, people, uncharted territory for me. that is not a great review. it's not all bad, but something has changed at this place. the whole roasted eating as really oily and pork in the diligent had very little boar in it. the fried rice was burned and stirring meat had only 5 pieces of meat in it. I don't know what to say, but maybe I caught them on a bad day.

This is our book in Essendon. it is a mix of different Asian styles and we have not tried anything we have not yet liked. eating is always fresh and the personal friendly! don't let his station location deter it is. a real hidden gem!

Used to be excellent until new management took over. Poorly prepared meals and soggy stale prawn chips.
