Kingsford Chinese Restaurant: Chinese, Kingsford (10 May 2014)

426 Anzac Parade, Kingsford NSW 2032

Everybody Sang Tung tonight

Surviving the test of time Kingsford Chinese Restaurant has remained popular and consistent. Sang Tung Chicken ($12) is considered by many as their signature dish and is also a family favourite of mine. Tasty with crispy bits of yumminess. Deep Fried Calamari with Pepper & Salt ($12.80) is another favourite that's been a must order any time I visit. It's tender, tasty and crispy — what more could you ask for, oh yes it's reasonably priced as well for the portion size. This time I take a gamble on ordering the Pork Chop in Vietnamese Style ($11) for the first time and so glad I did. Tender and tasty as hoped and becomes another favourite. Can this place do no wrong? Well I guess the Chinese Mushroom with Seasonal Vegetable ($12.80) isn't the most pretty of dishes. It tasted OK in its foreboding gluggy sauce and if the bulbous and slippery mushrooms were sliced up would have made it a lot easier to share and eat with chopsticks. Always gotta have me Fried Rice ($8) which was good too. 

Bill came to $56.60 for four which in my world is great value for the standard of dishes and the chinese tea is complimentary which is always a bonus for customers. I guess don't expect service to be overly friendly although this time around they were pretty nice and helpful but probably because our lunch time visit wasn't too crazy busy. Your toilet awaits through the back door, down the dreary and slightly smelly outdoor passageway, past the dirty mop drying against the fence and into the single stall complete with wonky hand gel bottle sitting inside previous wall mount ed soap dispenser. What more could you ask for besides the wall mounted paper dispenser perhaps being filled up if that's the norm.

Cheap Chinese

On any given night this is one of the most popular cheap and cheerful Chinese restaurants on the Anzac Parade strip. The food is decent for the reasonable prices you pay. Tonight they sadly had run out of Salt & Pepper Calamari which is one of my favourites along with the Sang Tung Chicken. Although I enjoyed the Salt & Pepper Prawns crispy tasty coating. Don't expect the best of service but they do a good job considering the huge turnover of predominately Asian customers that eagerly wait for a table.

Extremely Popular

One of the most popular cheap and cheerful chinese restaurants in Kingsford with prices so reasonable it'll keep you coming back for more. Two dishes I always order from here are the Deep Fried Calamari with Pepper & Salt and Sang Tung chicken which is one of their most popular dishes — watched out for the garlic factor though.
