Ding Hao Restaurant

Undoubtedly the worst Chinese food/restaurant experience I've ever had. We had the silver banquet option and almost every dish was lukewarm. Waiters brought soup to our table then took it back and began looking through it with a spoon for some reason. That had us worried. Then when the crispy pork came out stone cold we asked them to heat it up and they must have just nuked the whole plate because the lettuce garnish was completely wilted when it came back. When one waitress brought out one of the sizzling dishes she slopped it in carelessly and spilled a lot of it all over the table, no apologies were made. It was a complete shambles. Honestly appeared to me that all the staff were new and had no experience at all. For the dessert we asked if we could swap the mango pudding to the fried icecream, it came out as a single rectangle on the plate with no sauce and tasted stale and like it hadn't been cooked at all... we were told that's how they serve it there. Prices are cheap but you get what you pay for. Don't waste your time and money going here.

Our go-to place for yumcha / dimsum 點心 on weekends. It gets really busy as soon as it opens. The dishes come out from the kitchen hot and fresh. Service is great and has greatly improved through the years. It's a great, no-fuss, all-about-the-food type of place. Tip: Ask for extra chilli oil to dunk your dumplings in

I was really expecting more with this restaurant. Atmosphere’s good and great hospitality. Was abit disappointed because the crispy chicken we ordered was not fresh, too dry and hard. Second dish is the crispy garlic pork ribs, portion was small and not enough flavour. Disappointed but I would still recommend them because of their hospitality. I’m coming back next time with different dish.

I've heard the yum cha was excellent so we thought the dinner experience would be great too. Unfortunately that's not the case. Service was okay. They have 5/5 service for the white folks, but for us Asian folk, I don't even think they knew we were even there. At one point I asked for assistance and the server replied to me without even looking at me. Her concentration was 100% on ... Yeah. This would all be excusable if the food was good. It wasn't. It was horrible. We ordered the two course Peking duck. Peking duck was dry and they gave us such a small portion. The pancakes were bland and stale, coming from the freezer no doubt. They even used prawn crackers to make the dish look bigger. And guess what, the prawn crackers tasted like they were a few days old. They weren't even arsed enough to cook us a new batch. If you've cooked prawn crackers before you know it takes like a few seconds to cook. The second noodle dish was bland and had few pieces of duck sprinkled over. We ended up taking it away. The next day I tried to eat it but... But I ended up throwing it away anyway. For the price we paid, you are far better off anywhere.
