Stopped in here on Tuesday night between 8-830pm. The shop is in the middle of the street, no drive through or anything like that, and since it wasn't a busy night there were plenty of spaces on the street right in front.
A big thing to note is that this place is cash only. They do have an ATM onsite in case you need it. This is actually a quite big restaurant with at least 8 4-top booths and additional tables and chairs set up in the middle. The restaurant is very likely family owned - while I was waiting an older gentleman came out from the back carrying a baby, and sat down at an empty table to play with him.
I walked in and got an order of Mongolian Beef as takeaway, and it ran about $11 AUD. What was awesome was that the kitchen is open and all the veggies, etc are displayed in a deli case, so you can see how fresh everything is as it's going into your dish. They also have two TVs set up. I just watched the older guy play with the baby, they were so quiet I really wanted to take a picture to show my friends that have kids how it's done! In any case it didn't take long for my order to be done, especially considering they cooked it right then.
It took me about half an hour to get home and start eating my dish, but it was still piping hot - too hot to eat even. It was in a plastic bowl with a plastic lid, and they supplied a plastic bag that's very clearly labeled as being reusable. Considering most places in Queensland make you pay for a bag, this was a nice touch.
Overall the food tasted good, but for Mongolian Beef I was expecting a bit more of a kick of spices or something. The noodles were good, but I wish I would have just eaten this at the restaurant, because I think that having it in the bowl and waiting for so long before I could eat it may have impacted how well done they were. Very good portion size.
Bottom line: definitely worth a return visit as it's fast,...
Read moreMy partner and myself have just recently moved to Caboolture and have been on the hunt for an amazing chinese take away restaurant.
Belly god was recommended to us by a friend. The first thing we noticed was the pricing, as with all chinese it's rather average so cant complain there.
We ordered delivery which was cooked and delivered in quite a timely fashion. ( Probably about 25-30 minutes)
It looked and smelt amazing. The portions were pretty average again. Was slightly disappointed with the serving of meat in most dishes. Appalled at the serving of honey chicken.
Unfortunately the noodle was extremely bland, lacking flavour in every department and the other meals were just too salty. The honey chicken also lacked in flavour and was quite soggy.
When you are spending $70+ on food you would often have everyone once in blue moon. You want it to be perfect....
Read moreI don't know when these people stopped caring about the food and their customers, but it shows. I bought special fried rice (which I can't comment on yet) and combination noodles which were literally swimming in oil. Vegetables were cooked to total mush and were unrecognisable, and all meat content (excluding the two prawns) was that processed, flat, rubbery stuff that comes frozen in blocks. Customer service was cold and detached, and I didn't even get a half smile. They used a leaf flower to clean the floor while I was in the restaurant; incredibly loud and blew debris on me twice. This is the first time I've had "Asian food" in Caboolture as I just moved here and I genuinely hope that this isn't the standard. If you have other options, I implore you to try them instead. To the staff and cooks: you have the capacity to do MUCH,...
