Golden Boat Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Queensland

After years of refusing to eat here (totally undeserved and clearly an ignorant belief on my part), my family and I came for CNY eve dinner.

To my absolute surprise and eventual delight our dinner was the highlight of the day.

We had a live coral trout cooked with soya sauce and shallots. It was flavoursome and the left over sauce...well let's just say there wasn't any left over.

This was followed by lobster on Tong hun (glass noodle) and salt and pepper lobster both were delicious.

The glass noodles alone had a morish taste that kept you coming back for more. Too bad after serving everyone there was no more :(

A token sweet and sour pork for the kids was standard.

Next, watercrest (Kang Kung) stir fried in fermented beancurb paste. Yes I know, doesn't sound like something you'd actually order let alone eat but again the chef delivered a top notch dish that was easy to swallow.

The meal was topped off with the chef's special golden boat seafood tofu. This was the crowning jewel of the night. Who would've known that tofu could taste this good.

Happy to stand corrected on my previous stance about golden boat. Currently, they top my list for the best Chinese food in...

Absolute rip off & worse Chinese food both my wife & myself have ever experienced so would NOT recommend to anyone if considering dining here. Our starter of Prawn Toast consisted of four tiny paper thin triangular pieces, tasty enough, but my God you would expect to order at least a dozen to feel nourished One main of Stir Fried Veggies was totally tasteless uncooked Bok Choy, nothing else, whilst the other main of Sizzling Garlick Prawns was unseasoned & again TASTELESS, yes the steamed rice also ordered was edible & helped earn the orrnly star we could give. Thankfully there was a McDonald's outlet close handy to help with our starvation concerns on leaving this...

Came for dinner and it’s a Pretty authentic Cantonese style seafood restaurant with live mud crab and coral trouts in the tanks. Steamed mud crab in Chinese wine (花雕蒸泥蟹) and Cantonese style steamed coral trout (清蒸東星斑) were very tasty. Broccoli with shrimp cake was recommended by the waiter and although the cake was a little salty but you can actually see the shrimp chunks and the Chinese broccoli were cooked just right. We also ordered Peking pork loin (京都排骨) which was very good too. Price for the fresh seafood was on the high end compared with other restaurants in the neighborhood. But it’s worth the try if $ is not a problem for authentic Chinese...
