Nice dining area

I've eaten at the Randwick and Maroubra Wokmaster but I find the Bondi Junction shop is the nicest of the 3 locations. Plenty of seating which isn't as crowded and squeezed together as the Randwick shop and no sign of pigeons which unfortunately seem to scavenge the outdoor tables for left overs at the small Maroubra shop (a health regulation warning waiting to happen I fear). The salt and pepper squid looked promising although I still prefer the crisp coating style of Golden Swallow and Pho 236 — Wokmaster version today is a little bit too floury. I much prefer the deep fried dim sim than the steamed version which is a bit bland on taste. The Chinese broccoli is good, although you can't really go wrong with this dish I guess. It's a shame you get charged for tea which is usually complimentary at many Chinese restaurants.

For dinner I order the $7 window special of pork fillets for the second time. Fills the appetite for a quick and simple late night dinner when cooking is not on the agenda and it's pretty good value. The sauce of the stir fried mushroom and vegetables dish is a little thick on the corn flour but the vegetables are fresh and plentiful. A very cheap and cheerful place and I noticed on the website there's also one in Maroubra.

This recent addition to the main strip of Randwick seems to be gaining some popularity as a cheap and cheerful eating spot. Squeezed in seating is clean and casual, service very efficient and I noticed in the window display some meal specials as cheap as $6 and $7. I think the food is a bit above average from what you'd expect from a place like this and serving sizes seem generous. This is the second time I've eaten here and would visit again when it's late and I'm too tired to cook something at home.
