Sandgate Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Brisbane City

• Last time I tried to order from here in Jan 2023 the restaurant was closed completely ‘due to a family emergency’ and there wasn’t any info on when they may reopen. Can anyone confirm this place has reopened? *

When it comes to getting Chinese for dinner, this IS the ‘go to’ restaurant for my family for well over 20 years now (including all my extended family that live locally as well). Even when I moved closer to the CBD several years ago now, and after giving my local Chinese restaurants a go, I was disappointed to find that all the dishes I love never came close to being as good as they are from here! :D So now, when it comes to Chinese night (which unfortunately isn’t all that often) I will literally drive all the way to Sandgate and back simply to have the best,

Over the years as a family we have to have tried many of the dishes on the menu and never had an issue (maybe apart from wait times occasionally) but all in all I can very much vouch for the sweet and sour pork (one of the only restaurants I’ve found that actually serves their pork in the sauce, not separately), the beef and black bean sauce, the lemon chicken and also their honey chicken. The honey chicken they do a bit differently where it’s more like a crumbed breast of chicken cut into many strips with the chicken swimming in lovely honey sauce and also served in top of those fried noodles. The special fried rice is also heaven! To me one of their most tasty offerings are their vegetarian spring rolls for entree which have this flavour to them I’ve never tasted before in any other spring roll, but I love it!

Ok, so the restaurant isn’t much to look at, is maybe kind of small quite warm inside, and I’ve never really wished to dine in, always opting for take away, so you wouldn’t automatically look at this restaurant and think “awesome Chinese food” but it is awesome, like a hidden gem hole in the wall restaurant :) And as they can be quite popular, especially around certain events and holidays, it’s always best if phone in your order a good 30 mins+ ahead of time. Best....

My home town in NSW has the most traditional Chinese restaurant you will ever eat so when i moved to Brisbane over 10 years ago it took a long time to find a great Chinese Restaurant until a couple of years ago i was introduced to Sandgate Chinese. This food is as close to my home town as i could find. They look a little "dingy" as some would say but thats how traditional ones look. During busy times you have to wait but thats ok, you just plan for that, most great restaurants have a long wait when they are busy. Sometimes they don't perform to perfection but hey, that also happens at every restaurant, even when it isn't perfect its still yummy. I now recommend Sandgate Chinese to anyone that asks. Thank you for keeping your restaurant traditional and not conforming to...

I'm so disappointed I have been coming to this place since I was young with my parents. I went there yesterday 19/10 and purchased 2 curried beef and rice (no vegetables) with the intention of having a meal for tonight 20/10.

After opening my 2nd curried beef for the first time tonight, I find a fly burried in the meal 😭 i wish I could attach a photo to this review.

To the owner's credit he did offer a refund but I would rather just leave this be, as his response that he can't stop flies getting in made me slightly more angry about the whole situation!

I would like to know, what is the food rating is for this business if anyone is aware as it...
