Oriental Chef Devonport — Restaurant in Devonport

We went here for lunch and ordered plenty of food. All of them were delectable, especially the fried rice as you could smell the smokiness. I have nothing to complain about when it comes to food.

The atmosphere feels a bit old and dark but I am not too fuss about it. Overall it is still pretty clean and good. :)

The service tho, that is a different story. We came in a group of 5 adults and 2 young children. Not once there was an initiative to offer us any high chair. Barely any hospitable smiles from the waitress. But I tried to let it slide because it seemed she was on her own to tend the whole place. Until we were waiting on our dessert, we asked if we could have it for takeaway because our time was running short. The response was appalling, she just scoffed at our request. At that point, I was determined to write...

Large portions and diverse menu. Good for Devonport, however adjust expectations if you are coming from a larger multicultural city (Melbourne/Sydney etc).

We were pleasantly surprised by the hot and sour soup ~ definitely the closest in terms of authentic flavour and what we expected.

The kung pao chicken came with a warning as "hot" but we found the sweetness of the sauce to overpower any other flavours on the dish.

Mee goreng noodles were a little overcooked, and the flavours are a little different to a typical indo approach as they have put a different spin on it.

Can't complain about portions thought which were generous.

Dining in facilities were a little outdated, bathrooms definitely need to be cleaned...

Best Chinese I've had in the Burnie- Launceston Area.

Good prices, food was excellent, I recommend the Satay Beef or Honey Chicken. The dumplings were also a good size. Special fried rice was good, but a tad more flavour could be nice.

Desserts are good, banana fritter comes with vanilla ice cream and a choice of topping sauce. Deep fried icecream a good size.

Staff are very friendly and the dining area was clean and well designed, very modern. It is refreshing to not have tacky old decor.

The restaurant has toilets which were clean. Positioned in a good spot immediately next door to the cinema and Car park.

I forgot to take pics...
