The 28 best Chinese food in Darwin

With the humidity hitting like a warm, wet hug from Mother Nature, we made our way to the wharf for lunch at Chow. We ordered a mix of banh mi, pho, duck pancakes, spring rolls, and—because balance is important—chips. Service was quick and friendly, so things were looking good. Then came the banh mi… the only dry thing in all of Darwin. Eating it felt like a personal challenge, like chewing through an edible sandcastle. Hopes were high, but reality had other plans. That said, food is subjective—maybe you'll love it, or maybe you’ll need a glass of water on standby like I did.

Great Atmosphere, food comes out fast but don't bother waiting to be served for dessert or additional food considering we where positioned right where the waiters come in and out and they could all see our meal was complete. Not a great first time experience, will not be back. We only waited around as it was my daughters birthday.

Fantastic spot with a great selection of Vietnamese and Asian dishes. The meal portions are huge - definitely designed for sharing between two or three people, which took me by surprise. I tried the Bo La Lot, Fresh Chicken and Veggie Rolls, and the Lemongrass Chicken - all were tasty, well prepared, and full of flavour. The cocktail list was impressive with plenty of great options to choose from. Staff were lovely, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. They were attentive throughout the meal and even took the time to explain how to enjoy traditional dishes like the Bo La Lot. Highly recommend for both the food and experience!

Amazing food and even better staff. So happy to find such a great place when on holiday. We went 5 times in the week for lunch, dinner and takeaway. Soooo good 😊

Laksa had no depth, tasted mostly like coconut milk. Chicken in the laksa was boiled and unseasoned. Everything lacked flavour.

This is the best Vietnamese resteraunt in town, great quality food with a great setting at the waterfront. Also great cocktails 🍸. Can get very busy at peak times though

We have been twice in the last week - with polar opposite experiences. The first time was Wednesday 26/6 and it was a 5 star experience. The service was amazing, the staff were friendly and attentive and were popping back asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Food was amazing and we loved our experience. We went back last night 30/6 and if it was our first experience we wouldn’t go back. The wait staff were rude and rushed us to order even though we arrived early and there were only a few other tables full. There was no plain rice ready so I was offered fried rice, but when it was brought out it was barely warm. Our meals were lovely, but sadly our experience was soured already so we didn’t worry about desert and headed off to get that else where. One of the neighbouring restaurants had live entertainment out front, but the staff at CHOW ! decided to put on their music and turn it up louder which made for a very uncomfortable dining experience. Overall I would possibly go back, but we were all just disappointed after last nights experience after such a great one a few nights before.

Food is amazing. Staff just ok. Restaurant looks neat. They have a dish they bring the food on a hot board still being cooked and Smokey. I couldn’t breathe as I have asthma. I had to leave. Maybe I ll come back during dry season when it’s cool I can sit outside.

If you visit here, you should try their Signature Noodle. But I recommend eating that with another meal such as Fried rice since it gets a little bit salty after eating for a few bites! Very Nice Atmosphere.

Although this restaurant is called "Noodle House," it serves a wide variety of Asian dishes, and the menu offers many options. The mud crab has so many flavor options that it is hard to choose one. The mud crab is very fresh and tasty. The staff not only provided crab crackers but also thoughtfully offered gloves and aprons, so you can fully enjoy the delicious crabs without worrying about splashing sauce on your clothes. When the crab was brought to the table, its appearance, aroma, and flavor were all outstanding, even attracting a nearby diner who asked if she could take a picture. She ended up snapping several photos of the crab. It was an excellent dining experience.

6 of us went for dinner dine in, place was quite at that moment although it was a Friday evening. Ordered several dishes as we wanted to try their options. Unfortunately, the waiter heard Garlic prawns instead of Garlic oysters. Asked about the oysters and he replied you ordered garlic prawns. The dinner looked like Prawns party but we are still happy as the food was great. It would have been better if they could have noted the order correctly as it left us a bad taste.

We loved our lunch and thought it was reasonably priced. Our bugs were delicious and so was our seafood fried rice. Staff were lovely.

Update: I've removed some stars because the most recent time that I visited Noodle House left me not wanting to come back ever again. We waited exactly 35mins at our table and not a single waiter/waitress took our order, they didnt even walk past us or make eye contact. We had reserved a table, and there were about 6 tables around us with people frustrated that their orders weren't being taken either. We sat at the tables outside - it appears to me that the indoor customers are highly prioritised, and the out-door folk get treated less-than. I have been noticing this practice getting worse over the years. We tried to get the attention of a waitstaff but they were just far too busy to even notice, yet they continued seating more people...only to not take their orders. I dont understand why they continued seating people if they couldn't even look after the current customers that were waiting for over half an hour. I stood up and returned the menu's inside after failing to get anyones attention, and walked out with my family to another restaurant down the road. The service has become so poor lately. The food is amazing, but far too overpriced; each year the food gets more and more expensive. Absolutely ridiculous for less-than average portions. Will not be returning again. This place has become an absolute joke. Again, to reiterate, it wasnt just my table that was waiting for over 30 minutes, the tables around us had been there much longer and still had their menus in their hands waiting for someone to take their order. Ps: these photos were taken over the course of a few years when I used to visit more frequently - back when someone actually took our order within minuites of us being seated.

This place was recommended and it did not disappoint. Big servings, delicious food, lots of menu options. I recommend ordering a variety and taking leftovers home. Highly recommend the Mongolian Lamb, salt n pepper squid, and the tofu and mixed mushrooms.

Booked a table on a Saturday night. I understand venues get busy but waiting for a glass of wine 15 minutes goes beyond any excuse. Mains took a good 30 minutes. Initial drinks order got an item missing, I had to double check if that was still coming however it was never sent through the system from the beginning. Service was bad and place lacked atmosphere, needs some noise distribution so people can hear conversations within their own tables. Oh and by the way, I did order the first two bottles of sparkling water but a third one was brought up by the staff without actually requesting it…. Yet the drinks we did ordered took ages to arrive at the table. Kind of weird, in the end I had to pay for it. Overall bad experience due to service being so neglective. Food is really tasty and was the only highlight to the experience! Maybe take away next time if I decide to give this place a second chance….

Food was very good, but when we arrived the restaurant was near empty and we got placed at a table next to another couple. Very close. I understand they were fully booked, but maybe spread people out based on arrival times. Other than that, it was a nice experience and we'll probably go back again.

Dropped in half an hour before closing for a quick bite and was not disappointed! Service was both prompt and very friendly; and food was exceptionally tasty! Will definitely be coming back again. 😁

We enjoyed a Friday night dinner at Moorish cafe, in July (peak, dry season). We booked a table for 2 online which was easy. The vibe is pretty young & hip, including the music, although the meals could easily cater to a variety of ages. Thete is an extensive menu & drinks list. We ordered 5 different tapas, which were all delicious! The staff were all very attentive & organised. Although we will happily award a well deserved 5 star rating, a couple of small pieces of constructive criticism though; we thought the music didn't suit the international / spanish / culture & style of the restaurant. And the order that we received our tapas was not in the order of how they were found on the menu, & felt the order in which the items were listed should have reasonably reflected the order in which they were enjoyed. We felt the prices were very resonable for the high level of the food & service. Definitely a centrally located restaurant to visit and enjoy whilst in Darwin. (PS- sorry in advance- some of the photos we had already started tucking into the food prior to photographing 🙃 as, being the usual with tapas, they all arrived separately at our table so a little tricky to remember each time to photograph)

Amazing food. Best place to dine with a vegetarian 👌 But as a meat eater, the bone marrow dish is a winner. Staff always very customer focussed and engaging.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great service and amazing food! Stella is absolutely amazing! Very professional, she serves us every time we visit for dinner and always makes the experience enjoyable. The rest of the team is also incredible, always friendly and welcoming. And the food… simply the best, and consistently outstanding! We highly recommend Moorish! 🫶

Exceptional all round. Plenty of food choices for all our group's flavour preferences and allergy quirks. Literally the only thing I can think of that would have made it better would have been to play more authentic music rather than western pop. Highly recommend this restaurant for everyone! I'll - We"ll be back asap,! Thank you!??

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would like to take a moment to share my experience at Dragon Court Restaurant during our visit today. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff presented themselves with professionalism and genuine hospitality. When placing our order, they thoughtfully explained how many dishes would be suitable for our group, which we truly appreciated. After serving, the staff checked in with us to ensure everything was to our satisfaction and to see if we needed anything further. The attention to detail and level of care provided was exceptional. A special mention goes to the manager, Nisha, who managed the team and the overall dining experience remarkably well. For our first visit, the service went above and beyond our expectations. Truly outstanding customer service, keep up the great work!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Dining Experience Me and my partner went for dinner at Dragon court restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. The food was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The staffs were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. Some of the best customer service I’ve experienced — it really made the meal special! On top of that, the ambiance was warm and inviting — perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent service in a lovely setting.

Great service! The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was good, but it was quite standard. While everything was prepared well, it didn't stand out or offer anything unique. Still, a solid choice for a reliable meal.

I went there for my yearly birthday dinner. The service was great but the food was not very good. When ordering I asked for the wings but they didn't have them even though it was on the menu, therefore the substitute was pork which was pretty bad. I also ordered the spring rolls which were strangely watery inside but the waitress asked if they were greasy. Again not a good choice. My main dish was the orange chicken which was unevenly cooked where the larger pieces were doughy (not cooked inside). Definitely not impressed and will never go back again. The best part of the meal was the bottled sparkling water. The next day I went to Happy Garden for a tenth of the price and I was very happy. I really was expecting better food. The strange thing was the questions from the staff like what exactly did you not like. I felt like a guinea pig for the restaurant which I paid $70 bucks to be experimented on. Dragon Court you must do better.

This is situated within the Casino and is very cosy. Best to buy just a few dishes and share them amongst a group which we didn't realise when we dined. It was $200 for 4 of us with drinks and we didn't finish all our food. The service was a little slow, we had reservations, but stood out the front for about 5mins waiting for someone to seat us (maybe some CCTV feeding into the kitchen from the front door or a bell might be a good idea?). Would go again, but order less next time.

Dragon Court is truly an outstanding restaurant. Located inside Mindil Casino, it offers dishes with excellent presentation and remarkable taste. The staff provide attentive and warm service, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I will certainly return to this restaurant in the future.

Great food and service. Crispy beef and pork ribs top dishes. Great cocktails too. keep up the good work Chef Yuke and Manager Nisha. Highly recommended

The food are really delicious, I like the duck and wet fried rice. Perfect.

A bustling neighbourhood Chinese restaurant, like you used to find in other major cities years ago. Fantastic food, efficient no frills service. As another reviewer noted, you do pay a premium for food here but I felt like it was worth it and a full house on a Wednesday night suggested the same. Expect long waits when it's busy.

Have heard from my friends abt this restaurant and today I tried it, and it's the best!! Especially their Hokkian Noodles & Spicy Salt Squid, delicious!! Also, their super big bag crackers only for $3,love it!! Definitely will come back!! 😁👍

We had a great vegetarian lunch. Mixed veg In Oyster Sauce, Tofu with veggies and vegetable fried rice. It was one of the best Chinese meals we have had with good size helpings. The eat in menu is a little more expensive than the web menu which they said is the takeaway price. Very good. K&L

Friendly staff, great food. Bit on the pricey end

Been having take out from this venue for past 3 years and always been good but yesterday food was terrible rice and main dishes were very salty to the point we struggled to eat them , paid 65.00 Which is very expensive for 2 mains and 1 rice which most of it ended up in the bin, if I was in their restaurant it most definitely would of been sent back. Will not be ordering again from here. Pick your game up Hingston, serving food like this will not do you any favours.

I don’t get it. 1 hour wait for takeaway. This wasn’t clearly communicated either as it sounded like 15mins so were surprised to hear about lengthy wait for food. Don’t come here if you want food quickly. Seriously. Even the busiest of restaurants generally let you know clearly when there is a 30 minute wait. But ask yourself if the food here is worth waiting an hour for.

You would think you are eating food from a high end restaurant in Sydney or Melbourne when you sit down to enjoy your food from Roast & Noodles. It’s honestly amazing. We wandered into the galleria on our way to the waterfront before Roast & Noodles opened for the day- as soon as I saw all the roast ducks hanging up I knew where I was getting lunch ! We ordered the large combos- one roast pork and one roast duck and we loved absolutely everything about our meals. The roast duck was amazing, absolutely beautiful and the roast pork was succulent and full of flavour. Chicken and corn soup also came with Kori meals and it was absolutely lovely, one of the nicest souls I’ve had in a long time, the flavour was incredible. I also ordered a serve of the dumplings, one thing I’ve noticed in Darwin is that fried dumplings are huge here- double the size of the ones we generally get back in Brisbane or from the Asian supermarkets, and the dumpling sauce is spicy and bursting with flavour. It’s a shame Roast & Noodle isn’t open for dinner because I’d be back for sure !!

The flavour of the duck roast was delicious and the quantity is sufficient for a hungry person. Choice of rice or dry noodle or soup noodle.... tasty. Staff is efficient, fast service and clean. Popular with locals and tourists. Central to arcade, walking distance to bus stop.

Delicious yummy dry noodle with roasted pork belly! The food was delivered so fast. Only 7 minutes and my food was ready. The staff was also friendly. Thank you

Okayy, trust me friends. They have the best roast duck noodle in town with affordable price. They have so many options from noodle to rice and I highly recommend you try the dry noddle. So delicious.

As a Hong Kongnese, I can vouch for the food here is authentic and fantastic. I tried the beef brisket noodle, and the bbq pork, roast pork, and roast duck. Let me tell you it's not easy to make these dishes good consistently, and they have obviously mastered the trick. It looks very clean. And the store layout is well thought out. They serve the food very quickly and it even looks good!!!

The food was good, abit too salty, service was fast. Atmosphere was casual dining was we were in a food court in the city. We ordered roast duck with rice and green veggies.

This restaurant serves Cantonese or Hong Kong Style roast duck, barbecue pork etc. It is really good. Highly recommended. If you look closely at what the diners in this shopping centre are eating. I countered that more than half of them have bought their food from this outlet. It speaks for itself.

We visited this restaurant after hearing great reviews, and we were not disappointed. The ambiance was great, with comfortable seating and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they made sure that we were well taken care of. We started with crab and corn soup and steamed oysters with ginger and shallot. The crab and corn soup was more of a chicken corn soup with very few pieces of crab meat. However, the oysters were delicious, and they were some of the best I've ever had. For mains, we ordered steamed barramundi with vegetables and small seafood fried rice. The barramundi was cooked perfectly and the serving size was generous. It tasted great with the garlic sauce. The fried rice was decent, but it was not as good as the barramundi. The staff were lovely and warm, and they were always willing to help us. The price was a bit higher than other Asian restaurants, but it was worth it for the quality of the food and the service.

Best Chinese restaurant in Darwin City. Steamed Fish with Ginger and shallot is so good. Not fishy and very fresh. Their mud crab is also fresh and they have a tank of crabs for display inside the restaurant. Pie Pa Tofu is a must try. Very unique and tasty. The staff and owner are very friendly and welcoming. It tastes like home cooked food , full of warmth. The price is affordable as well. It's definitely a place you can't miss !!!

Came in about 6pm and it was quiet and empty. Ordered Sweet corn chicken soup and Lemon chicken. Soup was great but the lemon chicken was amazing. Still crispy batter despite the sauce on it. Tasted amazing. About 7 pm it started to get very busy and loud.

Was craving Chinese cuisine as a tourist and chanced upon this place. Average in taste and decent quality. Sadly, not much of Asian vegetable dishes to choose from. Waitress also doesn't speak Mandarin.

I got the food here takeaway, twice, out of convenience since I was staying at the Novotel. Speed and service was a 5/5, but the food is quite expensive for it being oily and subpar; vegetables in the stir fry a little raw, and just not a worthwhile satisfying meal. I finished my meal regretting I had gone here. For future reference, next door inside the Mercure there is an awesome poolside bistro which is much better.

The best meal in Darwin! After spending a week having average meals, we finally found an amazing feed at Loong Fong. We shared hand made dim sums steamed, prawn toast, satay sticks, Mongolian beef, Szechuan chicken and pork and black bean. All were a taste bud sensation yet the Mongolian beef was a stand out along with the chefs satay sauce. I was traveling with a qualified chef and food reviewer, and both gave the chef their thanks. Even if you are a local, this place is worth a trip to the airport to experience. Along the pool at the Novotel.

Dropped in on a whim for a quick meal. The whole experience was a pleasant surprise, the service was good, the food was excellent and the price was more than acceptable.

Food is nice but the service is pathetic. First rang and told 45 mins. I said, I’ll call back in a couple of minutes with my order. Then told 1 hour wait for pick up. So I turned up at correct time and told another 10 minutes. It’s been 20 minutes and still waiting. It better be worth it. Also no discount for cash $107, just opened the cash drawer and took the cash, no GST collected. Don’t ask for discount, you won’t get it. Total wait 1 hour and 25 minutes since ordering!!! Doubt we will be back!

Ordered the Special Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Pork and the Beef and Black Bean, my trinity of Australian Chinese food and it was on point and would definitely go back

Bloody good Chinese food Juicy and crispy Roast pork delicious so was the sweet and sour chicken The service is really good, very friendly The prices are fair, almost every main dish is 20 bucks and they are massive portions I highly recommend this joint for either takeaway or dine in. It’s a classic Aussie Chinese joint that doesn’t disappoint.

Very good local Chinese restaurant. It is located in the casuarina region in the suburb of jingili. Take the bus from casuarina to airport and stop at Puma petrol station. A little walking distance. Family run business, manager is very friendly and witty, staff are nice, food is delicious. Popular takeaway food. Nice simple humble setting with tasty dishes. BYO licensed. Good for a date night.

Just average level, order three different dishes and the taste are similar, it’s like spend triple times of money and enjoy one dishes.

Ordered take away today was disappointed 1. $20 or more advertised free delivery... no driver so couldn't deliver... false advertising 2. On line menu said $20 for sweet & sour barramundi but was charged $22 as was told price had gone up and website not updated... false advertising 3. Said food would take 45mins but took an hour....unsatisfactory 4. Ordered 2 dishes but one container was smaller than the other... wondering why. Also mentioned not too much cauliflower or broccoli but the mixed veg was full of cauliflower 😞😓 as in photo. The sweet sour barramundi had only a limited amount of vegetables as well 😞😓 Don't think we will be going back there and will not recommend either.

Food is so great if compared to other Asian restaurants in Darwin. A must try for everyone and staff are very friendly.

Quite good if your ok with self guided. There was a lot to look at and the information was good but you need a fair amount of time to read everything. The interactive screens are good and the show was informative but left out a lot of details, leaving you searching for more info. I thought I would have a better understanding of the history leaving the theatre, but then found it in pieces while walking around the property.

The Darwin Military Museum is a must-visit if you’re in Darwin! 🇦🇺✨ I found it fascinating because it really brings the city’s history to life, especially the events of 1942 during World War II. Walking through the museum, you get to see an impressive collection of army trucks 🚛, uniforms 🎖️, and historic weapons 🔫. The displays are well set out and give you a real sense of what Darwin went through during the bombing raids. The multimedia presentations and exhibits make the history feel alive — it’s not just reading information, it’s like stepping back in time. If you love history, the military, or just want to understand Darwin on a deeper level, this place is definitely worth the visit. 🙌

WOW. This has to one of the best museums I have visited in a long time. The cinema was so great and the movie was very well made. Displays were also well worth the visit, and as someone coming from Europe, it was nice to see all the exhibits and get a view on the war from the other side of the world. We spent good well over two hours and we would definetely come again. Thank you

Awesome museum. Lots of cool displays and there's a huge outdoor area. Lots to learn from WWII and the defence members who were part of various wars.

For the war historians this museum is a must. Be prepared to spend at least half a day there. There is an interesting film presentation which should not be missed and a number of interactive panels to explore.

Great history, vehicles, remembering our defence forces and an amazing display and memories from Holocaust survivors. It was the usual hot day, but really pleasant covering the acres through shaded paths and gardens.

Visited as part of WW2 Half Day Tour by Land & Sea recent Fri 25/7. Blown away literally! Only visited war memorial museums previously. This is on the actual WW2 Fortification heritage listed site on Darwin's military zone East Point area. The best part is outside - Armoured tanks & military vehicles, Bailey Bridges, recreated living quarters, Gun emplacement building on its original site with exhibits in bunker area surrounded by memorial plaques outside. Plus Holocaust indoor mini complex - it is a huge area set amongst gargantuan Banyan trees & nature's camouflage. So our allocated 1.5 hours was never going to be enough. I watched the Defence of Darwin experience when the war siren activated. After this - did a quick whizz inside & headed out. Covered almost all outdoor exhibits & military fortification by speed reading & taking pics to peruse later. Thankful indeed to live in peaceful times but also in absolute awe of the might, size & sheer intimidation of the military vehicles & equipment of yore. The Furphy water tank in good condition was another highlight- the phrase "to spin a furphy" originated!

Lovely staff and location. Highly recommend the slow cooked pork bao buns. The seafood paella was very flavourful, the crispy barramundi fell short with it being quite a bland dish. Wouldn't deter me going back though.

Pleasantly surprised! Stumbled upon Snapper Rocks while strolling at Darwin Waterfront on a Saturday evening. Decided to give it a go because we spotted the fish wings on the menu. We were quickly shown to a bar table, service was fast and friendly. The the fish wings, snapper in beetle leaves and papaya salad were all delicious. Nice Asian flavours and just enough chilli kick. Nice cold glass of SA to go with it. Highly recommend, it’s rare to find quality food in high tourist areas.

We had a later booking on a Saturday night but we were received with a warm welcoming smile & never made to feel that we should rush before the kitchen closed. Snapper Rocks has become a firm favourite of our circle of friends for its fresh delicious flavours & great service & tonight was no exception. Simone, the floor manager is flamboyant & passionate about great food & great service & when there was a slight issue with our order, he rectified the situation quickly and kindly offered us a complimentary beverage for the inconvenience. We are working our way through trying all the small plates each visit because it’s fun to do. The bugs were sweet fleshy buttery garlicky delights, the betel leaf wrap up morsels of cerviche snapper limey peanutty & heavenly & the sticky beef salad just so refreshing. This is all we had time for but we will be back. Congratulations Snapper Rocks. You certainly deserve your awards.

Waitress was rude when all we tried to do was get water for the table. We tried to let her know that three out of the six glasses had lipstick stains and we would like new glasses, but she quickly walked away when we were in the middle of asking 🙃. Drinks wait time took roughly 10-15 minutes, which is alright considering it was a Saturday lunch time and the waterfront was packed due to DAAF. The French waiter was nice and polite. He ended up serving us for the rest of the duration. He was attentive and made sure we had drinks. FYI it’s table service only, so you can’t order at the bar. Food wait time was roughly 30 minutes - not too long. We ordered the jackfruit bao bun - it was mediocre and could use with some more seasoning. Grilled chicken with cous cous - absolutely delicious, I would definitely order again. Lemongrass chicken skewers - dry and needed salt. It was alright once you squeezed lime on it. Fish (snapper) and chips - very nice and the sauce was full of flavour. Oysters - beautiful 👌🏾.

Delicious fresh food, quality wine list, excellent friendly service, great indoor and outdoor seating options. We keep returning for the small plates, especially the seafood options. The bugs, prawns, snapper ceviche, squid, crocodile... All are beautifully presented and super tasty. The bao buns are also excellent. Highly recommend.

Wow, what a fantastic place and so busy! Amazed at the staff and food especially considering how crazy busy it it there. Beautiful location, comfortable seating even outdoors with fans and cool mist running. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Darwin!

Very nice place with friendly staff and excellent food. We had a selection of small dishes and the charcuterie board. The crocodile was exceptional. Good selection of draft beers and tasty cocktails. Nicely situated at the Darwin water front.

On Saturday afternoon, we visited Rendezvous Café. It wasn’t too busy, and we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were very friendly. The café has a pleasant atmosphere and is kept clean and tidy. The service was impressively quick. I highly recommend trying the satay chicken with peanut sauce—it was absolutely delicious. The special fried rice and the combination dishes were also excellent. However, the seafood egg noodles were a bit too salty for my taste, and the seafood quality didn’t meet my expectations. Many people rave about their laksa. While I’m not a fan of laksa myself, it might be worth a try if you enjoy it. Overall, it was a good experience!

We were staying at the Hilton Darwin for one night and chose this restaurant for proximity to hotel and previous reviews. We were not disappointed. Lovely staff and fantastic food. It's BYOB but they told us that when we phoned to book so bought a bottle of wine to take with us. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

My partner lived in Darwin over 10 years ago and used to visit this restaurant all the time for the Laksa, at its old location. She wanted to bring me here for dinner and to enjoy the Laksa again. I had chicken and beef Laksa and it was phenomenal. Flavours were fantastic and the beef was so tender and basically melted in your mouth. Only in Darwin for a week but going to be stopping back in here for sure.

I celebrated my birthday there and another amazing experience! lovely and excellent staff Wendy and Masa! exceeded our expectations! thank you for the surprise dessert given by Gloria(owner) for free. Highly recommended! We will come back again as the food is very scrumptious! thank u again!

Well balance and lovely BBQ pork laksa. Can’t wait to return and try the rest of their menu.

I ordered the won ton soup with extra won tons. When it came it had 4 won tons in it. I asked if they forgot the extra won tons- I get 5 won tons and an extra 5 at another place, which I prefer but they happened to be closed that evening. No you got your extra won tons was the reply- so I then clarified- so your WON TON SOUP only has 2 won tons? Yes was the reply!!! Absolutely embarrassed for them and won’t go again!!!!

We had our dinner here yesterday and it was great!!! It exceeded our expectation!!! Delicious meal!!! Wendy is very professional and polite. We had Masa who assisted us as well and was very helpful. We will come back here again!!!! Superb!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Never have anything bad to say about their food and staff honestly love eating here or take away so worth it

Food didn't taste or look fresh. Raw onion in the prawns, other vegetables watery and tasteless. Not what we are used to getting from this place, gone downhill a lot

Awful. We ordered from the menu and asked to dine in. $35 for oily rice and sweet and sour chicken. I would have thought I'd get a proper plate and cutlery! 🤔

Called in today to get hubby a take away prices are way to high not affordable

Plenty of parking. Fast service and you get what you paid for. Delicious and fairly priced.

Good was absolutely awesome. Great service and we didn't have to wait too long to be served.

Economy rice in Darwin! Must try their fried chicken wing, sensational

Really disappointed in our take away dinner tonight. The honey “chicken” barely had any chicken in it and what was there, was dry and terribly overcooked. Satay combination was pretty much all Celery and carrot. Won’t be back

Ordered a wonton noodle soup and chicken noodle soup tonight and honestly never been so disappointed. It tasted like nothing. No flavour in the broth or in the wontons, it was like the food was dipped in boiled water and added spring onion and fried shallots for garnish. Tried making a dipping sauce to mix in for flavour but didn’t do any justice. Do not recommend buying any soup here!! 👎🏼

Very nice restaurant in the centre of Palmerston. Food is very good. However, the crocodile meat is tough, Fired ice cream is delicious. If you want grog, bring your own.

We’ve ordered through uber eats we ordered special fried rice sweet and sour pork combination of black bean sauce when we get the orders they put it in the Cole’s bag? Really? And the sweet and sour pork soggy and leak looks like someone tasted it first before us we won’t be ordering again with this mob

Hi red lantern. Not sure who came up with the seafood laksa recipe but why so many fillers? Please make it authentic and take out the vegetables that should not be in there and spice up the soup. The soup was pleasant but lacked flavour and spice. The fish didn't taste great either. The rest of the seafood was good and the noodles cooked well. Darwin has a high standard when it comes to laksa and unfortunately, this is the worst laksa I've ever had. Sorry!

We had dinner here last sunday, my wife had a wanton noodle soup and I had seafood laksa. Both soups taste blant, especially the wonton, I want to fix the dumplings taste for my wife so, I asked the staff for a slice of lemon and soy sauce because dumplings is always nice with dipping sauce and I was surprised to know that the chefs has no lemon in the kitchen. What an absolute joke for a kitchen not to have a lemon. Chef, if you don't want to provide your guest a lemon, you should at least make your soup base better.

An Asian institution in the heart of Palmerston. One thing that was a real stand out for me was their laksa. All the great flavours you would love from a regular laksa however with a twist of sweetness from the use of onions makes this definitely top 5 in Darwin. One of the rare moments where I take a photo after eating and not before. Family friendly, relaxed dining experience. Staff are very friendly and eager to please.

Had birthday dinner there. The service is very nice. The place ambience was great. We had chicken, sourdough, and spring rolls for entrees. Steaks, asian noodles and chicken salad. Everything was really good except the chicken was very dry and hard to eat.

Travelling solo worker just wanting a steak and veg and boy did they deliver. The best Wagyu beef cooked perfectly medium rare just melted. Clean steamed veg. Tasty salad. Super friendly staff. A diamond in the rough. Well done Madame, well done! (Picture taken after I already dug into the veg cause I was hungry as)

We had an amazing dinner at Madame Za’s. The food was delicious and the service was great. Mitchell, our server, was attentive, polite and made sure to check-in with us about our meals. We weren’t left waiting long to order our dinner and food came out promptly with some delicious sorbet delivered to our table between entree and mains. Will definitely be going back.

Service was really lovely. Our server isa tonight was super helpful, friendly and thoughtful. Food was tasty! Update: Second time staff were still amazing! Sarah was wonderful and very subtle about not singing happy birthday, very light-hearted and playful whilst maintaining professionalism. Marta was equally as wonderful and had a beautiful sense of humour. Thanks again all! Loved the food and the updated desserts menu is great!!

Thank you to Marta & the team at Madame Za for a wonderful dinner experience. Marta was especially so helpful & lovely when booking a large 18 person group, ensuring everything was handled perfectly by taking a preorder. Was also very sweet of them to give me a birthday dessert surprise. A few steak orders came out over done but they quickly rectified it by getting the kitchen to do new orders as priority. The dishes were yummy especially the scallops. Would recommend a visit here.

My partner and I came here for dinner and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Our waitress, Sarah, was fantastic she provided excellent service from start to finish. We asked for her recommendations on food and wine, and every suggestion she gave us was spot on. I highly recommend La Madame to anyone looking for a great dining experience. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Sarah, you’re in for a real treat she truly went above and beyond. That girl deserves a raise!

Our family had such a wonderful dining experience at Madam Za's. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious with so many flavours to enjoy and beautifully presented dishes that we all loved. A special mention goes to our waitress. Beth, who made the evening extra special. She was attentive friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and well looked after. Her genuine, warmth and professionalism really stood out and made the experience memorable. We can't wait to return to Madame Za's for another fantastic meal and delicious cocktails. Recommend to anyone looking for a great night out with excellent service.

I had BBQ fried rice and my partner had sweet sour pork and hot sour soup, everything was delicious, hot and fresh, very authentic Chinese flavor. The servers were very nice and friendly. Highly recommended.

We were visiting Darwin and really started missing Asian food — so we were very happy to find Zhen’s Kitchen. The food was consistently tasty and comforting, and we ended up eating there several times during our trip. One of the highlights was when Jason’s dad, the chef, made a special order of Hor Fun (rice noodles with gravy) for me — it was absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. You can tell they care about the food and the people they serve. Big thanks to Jason and his family for being so kind and welcoming. Their thoughtful service really made a difference and added something special to our visit. Definitely a place we’ll remember fondly!

It is one of the better places I've eaten in the city of Darwin. The food dish I ordered was some of the best tasting Chinese I've had (chicken and cashew). If you're looking for a decent meal, come to this place. The main dish was $23.

I bought the crispy beef with plum sauce it was okay big portion for the price $23. Friendly front staff worker. I would go try other things on their menu.

We are very very happy that Zhen's Kitchen is back!! The food quality is awesome like it used to be and very friendly owners :) We especially recommend Char Kuey Teow (my family's favourite dish) and Crispy Beef with Plum Sauce, which were amazing!! We will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal ^^

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in Darwin. The food is always fantastic and Servers are also polite and kind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zhen’s Kitchen to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in the city!

We ordered mixed vegetables with garlic (no capsicum), prawn cha kwei tau, prawn & vegetables, beef with scallions & ginger and 2 small bowls of steamed rice, 4 beers and 1 apple cider AND had the best authentic asian style meals. They were NOT over sauced which was such a wonderful change, unlike some Asian restaurants where the meat is often drowned in some unknown sauce. All our dishes were tasty, and recognisably Asian. Jason, our waiter was great: charming, polite and helpful.

As other people said, the beef ribs are amazing but it stops there. I tried the friend rice, it was okay, the rice is a bit old. The pork ribs plum sauce is nice but coated in thick flour so the pork is only 10% of the whole portion and it has some pork skin and bone shard. The noddle is a bit weird. They are either have soggy style or crsuty deep fried noodle, no stir fried noodle. The service is ok, the room is very echo-y so not suitable for a big group if you want to have nice conversation as you can't hear clearly. The place is clean, no oily smell coming out of the kitchen. The price is very reasonable, especially the take away prices. Dine in price is about $7 extra per dish but the dish is also bigger. BYO, bring your own wine glass as they don't have BYO charges.

A few very social and chatty serviceable staff. Very popular with locals and car needed; lots of carpark. Make a Reservation!! The food was good and not spicy (we wanted spicy). The flavours were mild, noticeable but not memorable. Still enjoyable dishes with color. Beef pepper dish was memorable, some of the grilled squids were saltier, the roast duck (Not Peking) was acceptable. Overall an enjoyable dining experience. Great for a group event, very warm and small. No bus stop nearby. Pick up orders possible.

The food was excellent and at a good price. The atmosphere is very interesting, definitely a classic Darwin experience. But think carefully before you order the sizzling beef. It's extremely sizzley.

Very authentic food cooked with fresh ingredients and passion . Everything was delicious and very generous portion . We will come back with more friends Thank You Nathan Rebecca and Jasmine for the great service and to Mum and Dad for the beautiful food

Meals were more expensive than listed online. Both entree and main dish were severely overcooked and tasted strongly of dirty deep fryer oil. Was only think U could taste, made me feel really ill

Love this place! The food tastes sooo good *authentic Chinese flavour and so affordable!! I bought their spicy salt squid, fried rice & noodle soup, and it becomes my favourite till now!! 🤤

A little restaurant that serves authentic & amazing Chinese food with affordable price. Might be the only place I will go to if I want some Chinese food in Darwin.

The layout and atmosphere are great. Has that modern neon Asian 80s vibe which I think is cool. The food is quite delicious and some amazing flavours going on. It’s definitely more a special occasion Asian style food. More up market for what you get. But if you want a bulk plate of crispy pork belly then there’s plenty of that around elsewhere. But here it’s nice to bring friends relax and take in the pink and the sunset.

Everything about this place is amazing, the pink aesthetics, the food is so tasty and the beautiful presentation. The staff are incredibly friendly. Try the mango tini cocktail it’s so refreshing. Overall 10/10

A memorable dining experience and the perfect way to wrap up our 5-day road trip from Alice Springs to Darwin! The mud crab with Singapore chilli sauce was absolutely delicious — cooked to perfection with bold, rich flavours. Presentation was equally impressive, complete with delicate carrot garnishes that added a touch of artistry. Combined with the serene views and warm, inviting atmosphere, the entire meal felt truly special. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. At $120/kg, the price is on the higher side — likely due to the prime location — but the quality, taste, and presentation absolutely justified the cost. As a lovely bonus, we also received $20 off for posting this review. Highly recommended, especially for a special occasion.

Overall, wasn't a bad experience. The staff were friendly and service was pretty good. Location was really nice, great spot for a sunday evening dinner! Unfortunately the food quality vs price is where it fell over. We ordered the sizzling beef, honey chicken, pork dumplings and 2 serves of steamed rice. Both the mains were tasty, but nothing amazing or different. The dumplings tasted good but were quite dense (only got 3). Steamed rice was very close to being under cooked, nearly crunchy, and may have been sitting out for too long as it was very dry. Perhads I should have tried the crab or something but went for the more standard options. Certainly not saying the food was bad, but for the price vs what you get. A local Chinese shop does the same stuff but cheaper.

First time diners & as we left we booked another visit, The food was terrific, as was the service & atmosphere (outside). There were 6 of us & we each ordered a dish & shared. That way we got to try many dishes & all were excellent.

Amazing food and beautiful atmosphere. Staff are friendly, only let down was our fried rice was forgotten and arrived much later after we had to follow up a couple of times.

This place was so yummy! We had the seafood platter and the chefs sauce is just AMAZING! Sweet chili-ish and couldn’t get enough!!

Use to love the dishes Now there is no meat and no veggies. Pay more and get less One dish had 3 bits of meat with 1 tiny bit of broccoli rest just under cooked Noodles. Pad Thai was flavourless and chicken under cooked

Was stuck for something for dinner so gave this place a shot had good reviews from friends. Got in just after opening ordered yummy noodle 3 meat combo, and spring rolls, the food was fresh, hot, tasted great,.large portion value for money. Staff were professional and polite. If you are after a quick meal for the evening give this place a go hopefully you will not be disappointed.

Lots of Asian dishes available to choose from. Busy, efficient and friendly restaurant. A few seating facilities. Vegetarian Singapore noodles, was ok ($12.5). Dumplings noodle soup is more flavorful (14$). You need to ask for the vegetable plate (15$) is great and healthy. Good for date or hangout with friends.

We ordered Pad Thai expecting a delicious meal, but what we received was far from it. Despite the quick 5-minute preparation, the dish was a major disappointment. It was 80% noodles, with the other ingredients barely noticeable. This was one of the worst Pad Thais I’ve ever tasted—definitely not worth the money.

Amazing as per usual would also like less spicy options but very amazing food

I ordered Tom Yum Soup & Nasi Goreng by delivery. It is sooo nice!! And the portion also big, so worth it!! The delivery process also very easy! Will definitely buy again :)

i ordered the pork and egg noodles, it had barley any pork and a piece of metal in my food, very disgusted. usually come here but never again.

China Bar offers an extensive menu, featuring everything from dim sum to barbecued meats and rice dishes. The food is freshly prepared upon order, delivering an authentic wok hei experience. Today, I tried the sweet and sour pork with fried rice. The fried rice was fragrant with egg and each grain was perfectly separated, showcasing high standards. The portion of sweet and sour pork was generous, with a crispy exterior that paired beautifully with the tangy sauce—absolutely delicious. My only minor critique is that some pieces of pork were a bit too lean; using a mix of fatty and lean pork would enhance the dish even further. Overall, a satisfying meal❤️

Great elevated interior and authentic Chinese cuisine. Lots of great options to try, and the bubble tea drink store attached is an excellent addition. The service feels minimal, quick and straightforward. No complaints here - staff were friendly and cleared empty plates. Prices across the board are higher than average, and with card / weekend surcharges it can be expensive. We tried the beef and veggie stir fry and rice dish, which could use a bit more umami on the beef, but overall delicious. I got the small combination BBQ with roast pork and roast duck. I highly recommend trying their roast duck - perfectly done, crispy flavorful skin and tender juicy meat. I paired this with the veggie fried rice. Some of the pork had less crunchy crackling, which may be due to the savory sauce it comes with that it absorbed. We also got some drinks from Chachago - Iced Osmanthus Oolong, Strawberry Fruit Tea with Milk Foam and Popping Pearl and a Mango Yoghurt Tea. All were delicious. Osmanthus Oolong is more of a traditional-tasting tea, albeit very refreshing.

China Bar offers a well-designed, spacious interior, providing a comfortable dining environment. The food is of good quality, though slightly on the expensive side. Additionally, there are surcharges applied for both weekend dining and card payments, which may catch some off guard. The service is decent—not exceptional but adequate for most diners. A standout feature is the wide variety of milk tea flavors available, although the prices are a bit higher compared to the taste and quality offered. Overall, it’s a pleasant experience with some room for improvement in terms of service and pricing.

Staff is very nice. Menu is amazing. Price reasonable. Only problem the restaurant is too cold for me. I wanted to eat fast and leave.

What a wonderful first impression! We thoroughly enjoyed the seafood fried kway teow and roast duck with rice; both dishes were delicious and excellent value. The smoky kway teow was delightful, and the roast duck boasted a crispy exterior and tender interior. While a slightly bolder marinade would have been preferable, it was still quite good. Adding some chilli shrimp relish would further enhance the flavour. Well done!

Just came from the restaurant. One of the restaurant you need to visit when you are in darwin. Usually i order Fried rice but i order something different today. As you can see everything taste really nice and looking real good 😋 will definitely come back

Food is abundant and great tasting, our serve was quick although the restaurant was busy. Must try crispy pork, roast duck and passionfruit tea!

I recently completed a 2-night business stay at this hotel, and overall, it was an OK choice, particularly due to its prime city location, which was incredibly convenient for my meetings. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. I also really enjoyed the food, which was of good quality. A major plus for my stay were the fantastic gym and swimming pool facilities; they were clearly well-maintained and a pleasure to use. While the room itself was simple and adequate, I found a couple of areas that could significantly improve the guest experience. Firstly, the shower pressure was quite disappointing, making for a less-than-ideal start to the day. Secondly, the in-room TV felt a bit dated, lacking the smart features and streaming apps (like Netflix) that are common expectations in modern hotels. Thirdly, the look of the hotel, from the outside, leaves much to be desired. Despite these minor drawbacks, the superb location makes this a solid option for business travellers needing to be in the heart of the city.

I had such a brilliant stay at the Hilton DoubleTree Darwin. As a Diamond member, I would have loved an upgrade or a room with a view, but I understand the hotel was under construction at the time. The first night was a little disruptive, but thankfully no work happened over the weekend. From the moment I checked in, the welcome cookie was a nice touch, and breakfast was incredible—especially the juice station and being able to enjoy it poolside. The pool itself is fantastic (the best in Darwin, in my opinion!) and the gym, while small, was well-equipped. My only issue was that the gym key card was faulty—I had to get it replaced three times in a single day. The room itself was comfortable and well-kept, and overall, I loved my stay. For comparison, I also spent a night at the Hilton up the road, which was nearly double the price. Honestly, the DoubleTree was far better—friendlier service, a pool about four times the size, and a nicer location. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

A very comfortable stay. Well located and the staff are all lovely and very accommodating. The room was spacious, spotless and the bed/pillows were comfy. I had a stunning view across the Esplanade to the water, with amazing sunsets each evening. Bathroom was clean and very spacious too; just give the shower a few minutes for the hot water to come through. The exterior could do with a face-lift/upgrade. The swimming pool is on the ground floor (you need to walk through the restaurant to get to the pool). Free underground parking is very convenient.

Location is fantastic. Rooms a little small for a family room. They obviously thought 2 towels were enough for a family of 4. No spare pillows in the room either. Service is particularly poor ( I’m still here) queues for tables for breakfast, shortage of food, which is often cold, no mugs for tea and coffee and when you can find a mug, large queues for the 2 machines. If you need a towel for the pool, get them early, the response when you ask in the afternoon is ‘towels? No towels’. Final night and will be glad to continue our Australia adventure elsewhere. Definitely not a 4 star hotel by my standards, lucky to be a 3.

Stayed 23/10/25 and I want to commend the service we received. We had a bit of a traumatic incident happen to us and the gentleman looking after the front desk was incredible. He went out of his way to help us and showed us so much empathy and care, absolutely above and beyond in the early hours of the morning. Beautiful rooms too! Thank you.

We are regular customers at Double tree Hilton all over the world. After reservation was made in Darwin Esplanade, I called. Nothing was mentioned about the construction and the consequent noise and view blocking. Guests are entitled to know what the real situation is to make their choice. When we arrived late from Sydney, we discovered our room on the first floor with scaffolding, and we filed a complaint and we were ready for another hotel. However, the morning after, Erica at the reception was extremely helpful. She gave us a suite on the fifth floor with unobstructed view. Her help changed everything and we had a wonderful stay. We want to thank you personally. The buffet is always the best at Double Tree and it was at the Darwin Esplanade. This stay will give us good memories.

Loved my stay at doubletree hilton. was welcomed by Todd and Erica such a warm welcome and very helpful .i wasn't disappointed with the room.and the bed was extremely comfortable 😴. amazing meals which we had breakfast and dinner every day . and if you had a slight problem at all staff were there to sort it for you straight away all and all a great stay .yes there is renovation going on and I can't wait to return and see the end results. all in all I had anamazing stay at doubletree hilton thankyou one and all ❤️

The staff who worked here were helpful and friendly. The room was good but I wish it didn't have 3 beds as I just booked for one person. Very convenient location close to everything. However bring you ear plugs as the nightclubs near by make lots of noise Wednesday to Sunday nights!

Service could be better. Very little room service for the 6 days stayed ..using the same towels as when I arrived. Would not give out change for using their dryer. Other than that pool is lovely and the hotel very clean. The location however is the best aspect.

Room itself was good and clean. What I had expected - value for money. But there was a lot of noise overnight inside the hotel. Room door was not well sealed and thus I heard people walking along corridor, noises which may have been sewer pipes or something else at 2am, 4am. Not good for light sleepers or bring good ear plugs. Window shutters to outside very good for noise and tropical sunlight. No outside traffic noise was noted all night. Good service at reception. We stayed 2 nights so room did not need servicing. Centrally located - it was why I chose this hotel. Easy to walk everywhere - to many food options, shops, Mindil Beach. There is even eating option downstairs called Makan Stop. Had Asian breakfast there.

Rooms were good, showers were useless.. very noisy from other guests staying in rooms next door. Shutters are a brilliant idea on the windows. Toilets could've been cleaner.. a good stone throw from the main street.

My wife and I arrived at the Darwin City Hotel at the end of a cruise from Broome to Darwin in July. The hotel is situated in the centre of Darwin within easy walking distance of shops, parks, beaches and restaurants. Hotel staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, affording us an early check-in at no extra cost and managed to book us in for an extra day. Our suite on level 2 was sparkling clean and comfortable with a large TV, plenty of drawer and wardrobe space, a fridge and an excellent shower in the bathroom. Double glazing and electric shutters meant that the room was quiet 24/7. A lap pool on the ground floor was great for cooling off!

Convenient location in walking distance to shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Quiet rooms and comfortable. Additional cost for on site secure parking of $15 per day. Does not have any onsite options for breakfast or dinner but cafes close by.

Room was disgusting. Cleaners’s swept all the junk from previous guests under my bed. Used underwear, condoms, trash, deodorant cans, glasses etc etc. Was so loud with people in rooms next door getting drunk till 5am & having prostitution sessions. Never again. They tried shutting me up with a free bottle of wine. 🤮

OMG! What a place! What a food! Yummmyyyyy 10919 times! If you want to try the real Darwin food, here is the place! The rules of the house is that the minimum you have to weight is 350 g. $0.60 for additional 100g. Is worthy! You came to try and share with friends. Place very welcoming! Love it!

Absolutely LOVED, My visit here. Was my first time, The Food is priced by weight. They offer assorted meats. Kangaroo, crocodile, deer, camel, along with the usuals as well if you're feeling a bit Vanilla ;P. So you pick your meat. Pick your veggies or whatever you feel like from the selection (I'm amazed they have almost all my favourite veggies.. Pick your sauce, pick your extras. They also offer 2 different soups. They offer assorted kinds of noodles. You basically pick all your ingridents and it'll be cooked up and brought to you. The lovely waitress is so kind and helpful! They serve alcohol here too! I feel it's pretty cozy. Not too many tables but I think it's great! I'll definately be going back again!! 5* though it's pricey... It's well worth it! Very happy customer.

Highly recommended! What a great concept!! Make your own noodles just how you like it!! A big thank you to Julie our waitress - she was wonderful with us and helped us enjoy our first wonderful dining experience at Magic Wok whilst holidaying in Darwin - thank you from Queensland 😀

Fresh food fast, hidden away in a Darwin back street, choose your ingredients from a buffet of everything from Baby corn to Crocodile and Deer, hand em to the chef and watch them being cooked. Great service, a little pricey but good food and service make up for it. Need to have more restaurants like this in Sydney and Melbourne!

Food was nice and yummy. Could have had 4 or maybe 5 start but.... the gentleman was using his bare hands to sort out the vegetables and other things. Single use gloves are a couple of bucks per 100 pack. Please use them!

Great Asian dining experience where you get to pick your own ingredients and flavours then watch the show as their expert cooks wok-toss your meal to perfection over fiery heat! A great spectacle but the food is also fresh and top notch.

Always love coming here. Have been many times. I love the setup where you can choose and have complete control over what you put in your meal. Very lovely and friendly staff who always give me another glass of water before I'm even finished.

the last time we had our breakfast there i found i small black curly hair in the baked bean. it was okey if the hair was from our head but its not. apparently i have eaten half of my meal already, when i saw that thing . we immediately call one of the staff and removed my plate. After that experience i have never been there again.

Australian-ised version of Thai. Reasonably priced for the area. Recommended.

Cheap and friendly

I highly recommend this place for a gathering! The food is delicious with a mix of Vietnamese and Cantonese flavors, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The prices are affordable, so you can order a variety of dishes without overspending. Plus, the cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for spending time with friends or family. Great choice for a relaxed and tasty group meal!

Sliding doors moment. If not to stop to look at a building opposite, the bossman wouldn't have had an opportunity to invite us in. Absolutely one the best laksas I've had. The heat in it was spot on, for me, and the sauce, noodles, and pork was divine. The duck pancake was also the best. I'm not normally a duck eater, but this was cooked just right. My wife can only have GF and that was no issue. Lots of options. Just moved to Darwin and this is on the list of local places to visit and visit and visit again.

Yum! Service was friendly and inviting. Restaurant had a nice feel a decor and playing recent music with nice table settings. The siu mai and wontons were so goooodd!!!!! Honey chicken was also battered, seasoned and cooked deliciously with a great tangy sauce. The fried rice and Mongolian lamb were a good serving size but lacked depth and I would skip the Barra next time. Would come back and order heaps of entrees as they were good 👍

Had their soft shell crab (entree), Peking duck three ways (poultry), kinto pork spare ribs and spicy salt squid. The soft shell crab was okay. The legs were good but as you keep eating to the main body, you can taste a really fishy smell that not even the dipping sauce could cover. The Peking duck three way was amazing. The pancakes were warm, the duck meat was good (though the skin could be crispier) and the sauce was amazing. The duck soup is really nice to drink. The duck fried rice is what you would expect of a normal fried rice. The kinto pork spare ribs is the star of the dish for me. The ribs were fried to perfection and the sweet tomato sauce goes so well with it. Would definitely recommend this. The spicy salt squid is the star of the dish for my partner. I loved it too. I'm glad it had a slight kick to it as I couldn't see much chilli on it and thought it was going to be a plain salt and pepper squid dish. Overall fast service despite being full house. The waiters were friendly too.

Love Lazy Susan’s. Have visited a few times for dinner; the food is always fresh and tasty, and the service is top notch. Today we visited for Yum Cha (Sunday brunch). We booked a table at 11AM (booking is advised). Thoroughly enjoyed the brunch experience, food was delicious (as always). Highly recommend the Spicy Salt Squid and the Fried Wontons. Also loved my coconut crushie (natural), if you want a non-alcoholic drink; it was very refreshing after walking around in the heat. Looking forward to our next visit! Thank you.

Fantastic restaurant! Cocktails were very clever, a must try. Ordered chicken wings and softshell crab starters, and pork, ribs, duck curry, and beef for mains. Food was perfect. Best restaurant experience during our Darwin holiday, highly recommend!

How good that a restaurant does evening yum cha on a Sunday? The crispy, roast pork was sensational and I’d go back just for that. The page is absolutely packed so make sure you book a table.

Disappointing meal. The dim sum were soggy and the meat varied in colour. The bbq pork soup was very salty and the quality of the meat was poor. For the price, this was a very disappointing Uber eats experience.

Delicious food served by friendly/ attentive staff. There are a lot of options and the portions are great. Speedy service without dropping on quality, will definitely visit again.

Food leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t know whether the cooks ever taste test their food? I literally tasted no flavour in any of the dishes. The honey chicken tasted only of oil… no honey. The Mapo tofu was so far from traditional; it had no Szechuan in it at all. Just very BLAND. Very ordinary food at a pretty high price. We won’t be returning.

3stars for affordable food and 1 more star for portion serving. Buffet range is acceptable for a person on budget in Darwin. Highly frequented by locals, this place is busy, mostly take aways so u should be able to sit down and enjoy your meal. Large portion (14.99$) includes a soft drink of your choice. Walking distance to city, not far from bus route, Zhens corner is a place to try for a filling meal. Great fast service with a smile.

3 stars for convenience and friendly, timely service. Sadly I found the curry quite tasteless and had poor quality meat. I think for the same price I would rather eat at the cafe next door.

Order Chicken Singapore Noodles & Spicy Chicken Wing via menu-log, To be honest there is no any test on food, my wife cook better than this, west of money and obviously food as well. Never try again.

Great little Asian food with in-dining and takeaway. Had chicken with ginger and spring onion. Quick and delicious. Recommended

Happy to have golden star for home cuisines! This pipa tofu is sick. It’s basically dried tofu that is mixed with shrimp or other ingredients. It’s perfectly cooked. Delicious. We ordered the fried noodles and beef, which are also tasty. Service is fast even in their busy hour. Will definitely come back to miss home.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Darwin. As a Chinese, the dishes in this restaurant are traditional and yummy with nice staff. My family always go there for dinner. Highly recommend its’ Peking duck, roast duck and fried rice.

YUM!!!!! An impromptu stop after spending the day exploring Litchfield, and we were NOT disappointed! A group of us ordered so many different dishes off the menu, and while some were better than others, all dishes had positive feedback. We will be back next time we’re in Darwin!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Darwin. I strongly recommend their roasted duck (the picture is chicken, but duck is better) the source is rich and flavorful! Also their sour and sweet pork is well cooke that pleasant aftertaste in your mouth👍

Stopped in as someone had recommended this place.Ended up ordering the Pork Spare Ribs in Peking sauce & veggie fried rice. It was full of flavor, great portions and friendly family ran restaurant. I’ll def be back, sooner than later. Updated TRY THE SPICY BEEF soup, oh it’s so authentic and delicious.

Best Chinese food in darwin. Their braised pork is a must. The eggplant is so good as well. I'm a regular and this is the best Chinese food I've had in Australia. 👍👍their fried rice is also big portion and smells so good. Don't underestimate the look of the restaurant. The food is the bomb.

Delicious and worth the drive. Peking Duck! Huge serving of three dishes. Grilled Duck with tortilla-type wrap with dark sweet sauce, light soup (no salt or overwhelming flavours, and wide rice noodles with duck meat. One Peking Duck dish is enough for 2 or three. I ordered the pips beans and had to take it home. Pre-order the Peking Duck and book large table, a table for two will not be enough. BYO possible, great for catching up or Foodie dates.

I wish I could give 0. Disgraceful. Ordered laksa and was given a Chinese soup. Honest mistake no problem but this was in a plastic bag so not noticed until I went to eat at home. Called to get replacement and berated by staff who admitted they had given the wrong order but asked that I take the noodles and veggies out of the soup and then into a fresh laksa soup after I drove the 15 mins to get it. Not willing to give me the replacement laksa soup with veggies and noodles. Insane. Then spoke with manager who had similar argument. No problems with stuffing up an order, but to get angry on the phone, while admitting you know you got it wrong and then not replace is disgraceful.

Lovely little take away and restaurant in Parap. Service is decent and food is fantastic. Whether a sit down meal or a take away lunch, these guys feed you well. You'll not go hungry as portion sizes are ample.

The best food court Chinese in Victoria, QLD and NT. Actual Chinese ready to eat, without sacrificing texture or taste! Well done.

Great food, great service, good value for your money

best Chinese food in Darwin. Favourite dishes are: honey chicken, green vegetables in oyster sauce and wonton soup.

awful! the way how their worker treat customers (probably not all, but me myself suffered twice), unacceptable attitude of a particular male worker which is disrespectful toward me! Oops Chinese...nothing to say...I swear never come bank and never recommend any of my friends!

I just recently got food poisoning from eating their chicken (that's all I ate that day, before I got sick), had to go to ED because of it. Won't be going there again. This was the Cas store.

Good prices. Good delivery. Average food. Fried rice very salty. Mongolian lamb didnt have much taste to it and neither did the beef in black bean. The only thing that stood out to make known which one was which was the black beans. Otherwise neither of them tasted anything like they should

Don't waste your time. We are regulars here and tonight we were so disappointed the meal was inedible. I phoned up to express my disappointment and the worker just said new management. We got sweet and sour pork and it was 90% batter, 7% pork fat and 3% pork meat. The sauce tasted like pure tomato sauce nothing sweet and sour about it and it was runny not thick and glazy. It was inedible and I hesitated feeding it to my dogs. The peanut satay tasted like peanut butter mixed with water. It was as thin as water and had no flavours at all except a slight taste of peanut. The fried rice was the best part about the meal. I should of just flushed my 40$ down the toilet.

Food here used be good and consistent, over the past 3 months it has become far from that I just ordered a laksa that is more a noodle soup probably a packet the chicken definitely is not chicken! Never eating here again. Putrid

Unfortunately average. The vegetables were really good I would almost give a four star just for that but the sauce and meat tasted cheep.

Had Mrs Wong last night and it back to it's best. 12 months ago was disgusting couldn't eat it. Very pleased with the food.

Very close if you live in Stuart park/ gardens area, excellent food, excellent prices, home delivery, one of the best undiscovered Chinese eat in or takeaways in darwin

This was a five star rating but since new management it has gone down hill 😫 please get the old cook back I love my Wongs it would be a shame to see those good recipes go to waste 😤
