Enjoy Inn Hamilton — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Had the most disgusting meal there today. Made the mistake of not sticking with 'the usual' yum cha dishes. The deep fried pork ribs were super greasy due to the fact that they were cooked in oil that was far too hot, as was evidenced by their dark mahogany hue. Some pieces were actually dripping oil. As to the noodles with ginger and shallots - well, where do I start? Firstly, they came swimming in a watery soup which was a mixture of soy sauce & the water the noodles were cooked / warmed in (no draining happening here). They were certainly not 'gon lo' (dry mixed). It was obvious that the cook (I refuse to call this person a chef - even calling him/her a cook is elevating him/her) had not bothered to drain the noodles, tossed them in sauce, dumped them on the plate, forgotten the ginger and I had to look very hard for the shallots!! Honestly they might as well have put it in a bowl and served it as a wet dish!! Admittedly when I complained (something I've done only twice in the decades I've been eating out) they did try and rectify it but no one in the kitchen was listening unfortunately. When I didn't eat it and was told I'd still have to pay for it, I packed it up so I could photograph it to show the owner. Had it been a 'hole in the wall' dining establishment, I would not be writing this. But guys, your prices aren't exactly cheap and you obviously aspire to being a bit above the average Chinese restaurant, so either lift your game or lower your prices, respect your audience, most of whom I would say have discerning palates. I was a regular but I don't know if I will be hurrying back...

Pop down to the Enjoy Inn at Port Side Hamilton for a takeaway Monday evening. We weren't overly hungry so we simply shared steam dim sims, sweet corn and crab meat soup and chicken chow mein. The steam dim sims were a little bland and rather tough/chewey, possibly over steamed, however the sweet corn and crab meat soup was delish. Unfortunately the chicken chow mein was far from what I had expected. I have enjoyed this dish from various Chinese Restaurant and take-a-ways over many years and normally I have found it to be served with an abundance of vegetables, chicken and broth, with the noodles, generally crunchy, on the side or for takeaway in a separate bag. The Enjoy Inn version consists of a lot of long thin noodles very few vegetables and some chicken, not at all your regular chow mein. I found it reasonably tasty however I was very disappointed with the dish. I have since read a number of reviews on this restaurant, a lot of them good, but regrettably quite a few not so good, most relating to very poor service and lack of customer respect. I found the staff quite good, however I only rang and order a take away and collected it, all done without any hassle. It was around 6 o'clock however, prior to the restaurant being busy. My suggestion would be, when ordering, either dine in or take-a-way, to ask the ingredients of your choice of dishes so your not disappointed when you receive your meals from this restaurant. Bon...

Went along on Saturday evening with a friend who considers this his favourite Chinese restaurant. He dines here frequently. This is a large restaurant in the typical Chinese style with plastic tablecloths and a very extensive menu. Certainly the menu features great sections of duck and seafood! All l the usual dishes one would expect were there.. and some great things Peking duck, soft-shell chili crab, etc.

The staff were quite efficient and polite. The food was certainly fresh and tasty. We had salt and pepper quail which was quite small but hot and crisp. Our prawns were very freshand plump-the texture fantastic! Also a beef dish which was really stunning in its delicious Peking sauce. This restaurant has a liquor licence and there were the usual drinks on offer. The wine selections were more appropriate than usual to a Chinese restaurant featuring wines that complemented the food. This isn't often the case in Asian restaurants.

The waiter was attentive and asked us about the timing of our dishes from the kitchen. He checked which ones we wanted first and which ones served together and if we were ready for our next course etc. A nice touch when you are ordering banquet style. All up, great food, good service and the presentation and attention to detail of the dishes was very good compared to...
