Xing - Kingston

We came here early in the week and I must say while the food was excellent the service lacked. There was only 2 other tables and we seriously didn't see our waitress for most of the night. If the waitress had have been more available I'm sure we would have spent more and order further dishes. So instead of 4 of us spending our expected $50-$60 a head the bill was $25 per head. Decor needs a serious update. But what food we got was woderful. It does make.me think twice about coming back though.

When this changed hands (from Golden Oscar ) the Malaysian influence was a very welcome improvement. Sadly, it didn't last, and I have to say the beef with ginger was chewy and tasted of bamboo shoot, not ginger, it was inedible. Haven't been back. Have to agree with another reviewer, a light soy on the table instead of thick and heavy would better. Sorry I couldn't rate this better.

Craving some Yum Cha we decided not to go to one of our usual venues and instead to give a local restaurant a go. We ordered a number of usual staples from a good variety offered on their menu. Although the dishes presented all looked delicious they sadly lacked flavour. All were under seasoned and the table soy sauce was thick and quite tasteless. The fried dishes were too oily and the steamed ones too bland.

My son was wanting Chinese food for dinner. So we found this restaurant. I would have to say I will be back.All the options we chose were yummy. And well presented. Service was good. Please don't take much attention to the shop front. Inside is where it is at.It is a byo so that is extremely helpful.

Dubious little shop front in Mentone and the décor could do with the services of a professional interior decorator but if you overlook the dimness in this little family run restaurant you will have yourself perfectly good Chinese food at a very reasonable price. Home made dim sims and chicken dumplings were especially yummy. Service is fine, BYO licence is handy, lots of parking around, happy to let you take home what you don't eat. Will return.
