Fortune King Seafood Restuarant

With one side of King Georges Road lined with Chinese restaurants, we decided to investigate why Beverly Hills is such a mecca for Cantonese cuisine. Selecting Fortune King Seafood Restaurant almost at random, we uncovered quality Cantonese cooking in a dining room ringed by gold-tipped white swallow wall lights. The well-decorated menu is supplemented with a list of chef’s specials. Pipis in syrupy XO ($43.80) served on a crisp noodle base are a must-order. Steamed silver thread loaf ($4.50) (or the deep-fried golden version) will help mop up any remaining XO; and the thread-like construction of these buns makes them fun to pick apart. Crunchy green capsicum provides a great counterpoint to tender slices of Sichuan-style beef ($22.80). Shandong chicken ($22.80) presents a generously proportioned crisp-skinned bird in a fragrant sweetened vinegar sauce. With its amped chicken flavour, it eats well on a fairly plain rendition of the chef’s special fried rice ($26.80) where scarce tiny scallops and pale pink prawn meat are the only bright spots. Fans of the full-service Aussie-Chinese dining experience will no doubt appreciate that complimentary orange and watermelon wedges and gold foil-wrapped fortune cookies arrive as a matter of course. BYO is also welcome.

Excellent dishes, amazing people and great ambience, my favorite go to for a quick easy Chinese dinner. I have been going there since my grandparents generation and it's definitely not going to go away. The dishes I would highly recommend is definitely the crab with vermicelli, roast pigeon, and the lobster noodle.

Located in Beverly Hills, Sydney, this Seafood Restaurant serves a variety of Cantonese style dishes. Like most traditional Chinese dining, dishes are shared communally using round tables. They have off street parking as well as 9 parking spots at the rear of the restaurant. My favourite dishes so far: lobster with ginger and shallot, honey & black pepper pork ribs and salted egg calamari. It’s worth to mention that all dishes are generously portioned so you won’t leave hungry. Oh, and one more thing. Their xo sauce is top notch!
