Flavor — Restaurant in Sydney

I love this place! I have been a fan of Chinese food since I was a kid. I’ve eaten it all over the country - and overseas - and it is my favourite cuisine. My parents lived in China for a number of years so I have been privileged to eat authentic cuisine all my life.

The owner Rose is not only a beautiful person, she honours her heritage in the best way possible - through her restaurant’s cuisine.

The menu is very broad and exciting. It caters to both mainstream and adventurous palettes. There’s some really interesting dishes to be found here along with some classics and old favourites done with an exciting twist.

My wife and I eat here, or get takeaway, every couple of weeks. We have our favourite dishes like the fried salt & pepper flounder, pippies in ginger and shallot, Mongolian lamb, pork mince with eggplant and sweet & sour pork - the most unique interpretation we’ve had! I’m getting hungry writing this review…anyway, the service is always friendly - despite the occasional language barrier - and the food is as generous as it is tasty. To a white man like me, who lives Chinese food, the barometer of success I have always applied is the number of Chinese people who regularly dine in the restaurant, and Rose’s is no exception. The local Chinese community in Wolli Creek clearly appreciate the quality of Flavor’s cooking because they are there every single night ensuring Rose and her staff are always busy.

Flavor is a true diamond in the rough and one of Wolli Creek's hidden gems. If you want authentic Chinese cuisine cooked with a lot of heart then this place is worth your visit.

Do not be dissuaded by the humble appearance, for it offers great food, variety and generous portions. Of all the proteins, Flavor are the masters of pork and I would recommend anyone to try their Pork in hot chilli oil.

The adage that you should eat where the locals eat rings as...

First time coming here today and to preface this review, I am a Chinese person that really likes pan fried pork buns. Ordered 3 other dishes and they were fine, not great but not bad. However, these pork buns were of a kind that I have never seen before. The meat was exactly the size in the photo (about a third of what I usually get from other restaurants) and it tasted concerning. If you come here, it's fine but do not order...
