is quite difficult to review some chinese restaurant in perth. It seems people do the restaurant bussiness for only residential requirement.. therefore i will discuss about "roast duck restaurant" in this year, 2007.
There are some chinese restaurant in perth, which had been there and famous with the roast duck dishes.
From people opinion and and research from the duck supplier, i got several restaurant which are contentable in my review.
1. The Good Fortune Roast duck house, City of Perth, William st.
2. The Chin Noodle house, Leeming shop centre, Melville
3. The Four Seasons roasting duck rest., Northbridge, William St.
4. The Good One, Victoria Park
5. The Silk Road restaurant, Applecross ~ I won't review deeply on this point coz i'm working at this restaurant.. :)
Ok..
first ~ The good fortune
This restaurant is quite old restaurant, one of the famous duck restaurant. It used to be the best in perth. My visit was on sunday morning, because they don't sell any dim sum, makes this restaurant not in busy hour in lunch time.
Believe it or not, the standard is down.. the noodle, duck and the sauce was edible but it was not tasty, noodle overcook, presentation minus ( i got the chopped duck all over the plate, it didnt arrange neatly on the plate), and sauce - nothing special ( simple chicken stock and fat dripping from roasting)
place ~ old chinese fashion
price ~ $ 8 something
patron ~ good, all patron using uniform and the chefs wore hat.
food ~ nothing special
service ~ it's good, coz the waitress were able to speak english fluently.
total review ~ 3 stars
second.. The Chin Noodle house
My visit on weekday lunch time, I got the info that the hongkong celebrity chef whom i know he was a best duck roaster working in it. The food was good, but the service and place... was not cozy. It was busy for them, we ordered spring water, but we did receive chinese tea..quite funny though.. after we got the food we dont get any cutlery, so we wait for 8 minutes until i took for myself spoon and chopsticks....
The presentation was nice, everything arrange neatly on the plate..the duck was cut nicely,but the sauce was edible but i got it less tasty..the noodle was perfect al-dente.
Place ~ chinese style old fashion
Patron ~ all using the same uniform
Price ~ we have the lunch special for $8 something
Service ~ the service wasn't good
Food ~ Good, only the sauce less tasty
total ~ 3.5 stars
third.. The Four seasons
I had been told from our duck supplier that this restaurant were selling a lot of duck, so my first conclusion is they are doing very well on selling the duck..
My visit on weekday lunch, they have a dimsum on that time so we ate a prawn and scallop dumpling, pork and chives dumpling and steamed pork buns as entree. The dumpling was good, but not the bun(char xiu bau). After that we order 2 type dishes of duck, teow chew soya duck and roast duck noodle.
The service was very bad, they can't speak english fluently..the worst, they keep asking in chinese.. The person who in charge in counter, maybe part of owner or manager.. he doesnt smile at all to customer..maybe that day was very hard for him... Not a single or simple greeting form the patrons..
The food was good or nearly perfect, sauce was good and tasty, the chopped duck were arrange neatly on the plate, The duck were tender, but the noodle was a bit overcook..nice..nearly perfect
Price ~ A$12 for the duck noodle
Patrons ~ they all using the same uniform, but the i got the roaster who send my duck to my table.
Place ~ new place, but the arrangement old style chinese restaurant
Food ~ NICE, very good, only the pork buns and noodle were make it slopped down.
Service ~ Geez ...MINUS...
Total ~ 3.5 stars
The Fourth.. The Good One
I got few conversation with ladies and man around my life area(school, work, and house) they recogn that the good one serve best duck..
My visit on sunday lunch time, they open on 10 30 am. so we were the first customer. I were expect the fresh roast duck. BUT i got the chewy duck, horrible sauce... lack of service, worst place to go...
Place ~ Old fashion chinese restaurant
Price ~ $ 8 something
Patron ~ they using same uniform, and the chef wore the uniform and hat
Food ~ edible but it was not delicous..
Service ~ minus...
total ~ 2.5 stars
fifth.. The silk road restaurant
I wont review this restaurant coz i'm working in this establishment...but the best part of duck noodle is the duck were serve boneless..and this restaurant is not a chinese restaurant...
So... i did some research ... the conlcusions and reviews were come from my point of view as a chef to give an info about dining in PERTH , Western Australia..
cheers...
