Kao Yiu Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Sydney

This is your old fashion Chinese restaurant with a standard Aussie modified menu. Nothing flash or out of the box - just good old-fashioned good stuff - old fashioned Aussie Chinese menu at reasonable prices. We had a mixed entree which was a little over fried and the sweet-and-sour pork was pretty heavily battered which was not really very nice or healthy. The chicken with almonds was very nice exactly as I remembered it but it was really not an overwhelmingly memorable meal - small room, there are much better Chinese restaurants down in Penrith. We just felt like having Chinese and there was a really good one around the corner but it had gone so we tried this one. It needs a bit oftentimes improving had an upgrade of the menu to include a few more interesting items and the sweet-and-sour pork needs to be made...

Certainly an old school Chinese restaurant which judging by how busy it was is obviously popular with the locals. Our group had mixed entree, fried rice, Mongolian beef, satay chicken and honey king prawns. The mixed entree prawn toast, spring roll, dim sim, and chicken and ham roll. The prawn toast had very little prawn on it, the spring roll was predominantly cabbage, the dim sim was ok and the chicken and ham roll was mainly processed ham. All tasted of the oil they were cooked in. The Mongolian beef and satay chicken were both lacking flavour and sauces were too thick and dominated the dishes. Honey prawns were fine and fried rice was passable. Not the worst Chinese meal I've had but not the best. Staff...

this Chinese restaurant is a treasure for locals and I’ve finally considered writing a review because they deserve the compliment . If a full restaurant and customers walking in and out continuously on a Tuesday night doesn’t prove its good, I cant help you choose a better place. Have been a return customer for 5 years . Tried all Chinese rest’s in the Penrith local area.. hands down the most bang for your buck . Not full of carrot and onion . Just the only thing is they need more staff because of demand...
