Average food. But always friendly staff. Sometimes they are busy and it takes more time. Also it depends if you order lunch meals(usually better price) or main course. Not many tables to sit so if they are busy the only way is to order takeway and eat it in park(awesome option during sunny days) or home or office. Portion are good so you will not be disapointed if you are looking for something to stop your hunger. I visited this place many times always during lunch times. So during lunch they have good portion for not so much $. What i like in here are Singapure noodles and Mongolian chicken. (You can order extra meat portion in meal for $1 or $2).

Botany Chinese Restaurant Review -1 star as the dine in was closed and we had to walk to Booralee park to eat however the walk was brisk and pleasant (see my Booralee park review) Ordered the 4 in 1 meal, king prawns in Szechuan sauce, and spring roll ($$$$) The 4 in 1 box was more of a 3 in 1 + 1. Nice curry sauce, more chilli to balance. The king prawns are not king prawns and the Szechuan sauce was sweet and sour sauce. The spring roll sauce was watered down bbq sauce. But the rolls are crunchy. I feel sorry that Irish people consider this Chinese food ( see my review of Ireland)

The food was absolutely delicious and served with little waiting time. The service was also impeccable and it was a pleasure to be able to eat with such kind and caring staff as well as to learn about some of the culture.

The lunch special is now $9 for average serving. $1,5 for water and be careful with the bottled water because if you don’t pay attention (like me) when grabbing the bottle, you can end up with the sparkling and be charged additional $2 (which makes the bottle $3.5!!!). This is a rip-off. If I go back there (not sure though because I think they could be clearer about the drink and even communicate it to customer while ordering) I would take only the food special for $9 without add on.

Prices do not reflect the quality. King prawns were not the size of king prawns.. so I don't believe they were. Canned mushrooms in the vegetables. Fried rice was decent but needed more salt/soy. I MUCH prefer the Cantonese joint across the road.

Decent takeaway chinese in Botany. Had the sweet and sour pork lunch special and it tasted good and piping hot. Serving size is fair and price affordable. Fried rice upgrade wasn't worth it for me as it's just soy and egg.

Ordered takeout while visiting Sydney. Been watching those British Chinese vids on TikTok and wanted to try this place out. Had the 4 in 1 with Curry Sauce. They replaced prawn toast with crackers instead. Worth a try!

Family run - a balance of fresh quick SIMPLE food that knows its market - not fancy- simple chinese food and family that runs it well and hard. Honest and simple that is so rare these days! No arrogance- no private equity fund acquisition- not complex- hey its not meant to be! Consistent as well over the last 4 years

Possibly the worst meal we have ever received. Took 3.5 hours for food to come from Uber eats. Delivery driver was there waiting for 2 hours before receiving the food. The food that came was cold and tasteless. Never ever will be back or recommend to anyone.

Ftiesh and fast, they are a classic Australian take away. Great service over the phone and everything you need on the menu. Honey king prawns are always fresh crispy and delicious. Would recommend if you are in an indulgent mood!

Popular restaurant had the fried rice, Mongolian chilli beef and the Sweet and sour pork (this was my favourite)...terrific dishes I didn't think too much of the crispy chicken..I would get that at the local Botany Cantonese restaurant otherwise I would definitely go back

Was going to this Chinese restaurant since moving to Botany nearly a year ago, this was my go to place. While the food was ok... the service is basic to rude - then they upped the prices & reduced the size of the servings. Even tho they're my closest - I go elsewhere now

Best Chinese in Botany, certainly the most popular. The best sweet and sour pork outside of Chinatown and the pork spare ribs are a favourite of ours.

Worst service, ordered a laksa and prawn crackers. Waited an hour before I asked what's going on. They gave it to someone else who was just standing there. Then took another 20 minutes to cook it again, by that time there was no prawn crackers left.

After having lived in Botany for nearly 6 years, never noticed this place until last week. Was blown away by the cleanliness of their place and the food options that reminds me of a home cooked meal. A new fav place for Authentic Chinese cuisine.

Great local Chinese restaurant. Friendly staff and great food.

Typical old school Chinese here. For us, it was not the best or the worst just in the middle. We had fried rice, Mongolian Lamb, prawns and veggies and some honey pepper pork ribs. Reasonable prices. We called and ordered and collected.

Haven’t tried the food and tbh completely put off trying it due to customer service. Maybe you should get better staff. I called up as a new customer and the girl who answered was so rude. She told us the wait time and because I didn’t

Best Chinese around! Absolutely everything is fresh and delicious with very competitive pricing and friendly local owners preparing, serving and delivering everything personally. Free delivery for orders over $30 in local area.

I have several times waited outside for opening,always a sign idecating at a minimum 1hr wait even for 1 dish,rude and lacklustre service! Avoid like the plague.

4 in 1 was lovely, noodles had little taste to them but were nice mixed with satay sauce, had to pay for extra satay even though there was minimal on the plate.

Spring rolls were delicious and crunchy Dimsims were a very generous size and good. The short soup and long soup were pretty good. The laksa was ok.

Great place with specials for lunch (cash only) and a wide selection of full meals. Inside seating, with friendly staff and quick service

What an awesome old school Chinese restaurant! Nothing has changed in 30 years...all the classics are here at great prices.

Not going to win any culinary awards, however great value for money, friendly staff and cooked to order, can't complain.

Excellent restaurant particularly well set up for take out. Best to order on the phone, wait time is about 25 mins.

Super slow... And this was for pick up, got told 30 mins over the phone, food still wasn't ready an hour later

Cheap delicious Chinese food. Very busy at dinner. Competition with the Chinese restaurant across the street.

I ordered Honey Chicken with rice. Did not expect it to be fried chicken with a pot of honey on the side.

New owners lovely people, great food, great service, air conditioning would be great, excellent takeaway.

Lemon chicken, Mongolian lamb and fried rice all very tasty and the flavours were not too overpowering.

3 large boiled rice for $18 that is an absolute rip off and that took 1/2 to prepare. Never again!!!!

Very delicious sweet and sour pork close to what you get at an authentic HongKong restaurant

Always excellent food. Love the rainbow beef, salt & pepper squid and beef and black bean

It's great. Fast and friendly service. I highly recommend it it for a weeknight takeaway.

Friendly staffs, good food, great value. Came yesterday, come back again today.

Love the Vegetable Steamed Rice with garlic sauce from the lunch special.

Been coming here for 20 years. Great little place. Good food.

strongly recommende sweet and sour pork. and also laksa.

Hmm I have had better
