Dongsheng restaurant 東昇 — Restaurant in Launceston

This place made a lovely first impression ✨ the decor is dreamy and photo-worthy, perfect if you enjoy beautiful spaces and a bit of artistic flair. 📸 The staff were warm, welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable from the start 😊

The Seafood on The Tree was fun and creative ，visually impressive and definitely a talking point. However, the beef dish, while nicely presented, arrived only warm, not hot. At $39, that was a little disappointing. To their credit, the team was quick to respond and kindly reheated it after we mentioned it. 👍

It’s clear this is a restaurant that’s trying to create something unique ，blending art, atmosphere, and generous portion sizes into a memorable dining experience. 🎨🍽️

That said, with the premium pricing, we feel the food itself needs to be a little more refined to truly match the overall concept. If flavours are elevated and details like food temperature are consistently managed, it would make the experience feel much more balanced and worth the price.

✅ Beautiful decor ✅ Friendly, caring service 🔧 Room to improve on flavour and consistency 🚻 Bathroom cleanliness could also be better

We can see the potential here ，and with a few small improvements, it could become a truly...

Your a new restaurant still learning but I’m going to be brutal Fist of all fix your door no point putting a sign up no one reads it just fix it. Secondly get some staff that know what they’re doing nothing kills a business quicker than having inexperienced staff. Rang bell on my table still no one came by the time I left. Why have it? Thirdly I don’t think the beer is suppose to be warmer than the food so you need to fix that before someone gets sick from eating cold food and drinking warm drinks Fourth what kind of bar doesn’t have lemonade? Fifth you need to get better shades in your windows I noticed a lot of patrons sitting at table with sun fair shining on them very annoying Six I’m sorry but your food well the stuff I had wasn’t very good I actually chucked it in the bin when I got home your fried rice was the best part. I had wings very boring in flavour, seafood medley still trying to find the assortment of seafood and lamb ribs these were so dry I nearly choked on them. Ribs should be juicy full of flavour but yours were just dry and tasteless. I’m all for giving a place a second chance but if you don’t fix the above issues I don’t think you’ll be in the business very long. Sorry not worth the...

Unfortunately our table of 6 had an extremely disappointing experience. The wait staff were very slow and did not explain the options very clearly. 2 guests asked for a main sized meal of a couple of entrees but they turned up as entree size and they were both exceedingly small and dry! Some of the other meals were tasteless and gooey. The dining room is reasonably well appointed but very noisy! The following day I was extremely unwell and whilst I was assured there was no MSG or emulsifier used, my body strongly disagreed. I awoke with a pounding headache, sweats and kidney pain and an extremely dry mouth. I phoned the restaurant and was told no MSG was used and maybe I needed to go to a doctor!!! I do not go out for an evening meal only to end up extremely unwell and told I may need to visit a doctor!!!! I have spoken to other diners who have experienced similar symptoms and experiences! Unfortunately I would liken the meal to a very cheap takeaway place. Another visit from this group of diners is definitely off the menu!!! If you rate your business as a top dining experience, I think you are deluding yourself and you definitely need to find some really good wait staff and a...
