Was Anonym at Gum Hon a mag?
The food is always delicious here. On one occasion, I requested a dish that wasn’t on the menu, and they graciously prepared it for me. If you appreciate traditional Chinese restaurants with Laminex-topped tables—remnants of a bygone era in Australia’s dining scene that remind us of a time when we first embraced international cuisine—this place is definitely worth a visit.

What Anonym dislikes about Gum Hon:
That was, without a doubt, the worst Chinese meal I've ever had. Not only did it take 40 minutes for the rice to arrive, but when it finally did, it was the blandest Chinese food I’ve ever experienced. The sweet and sour chicken and the special roasted rice tasted solely of sugar—completely flavorless. It was a total waste of $25. View all feedback.
Dim sims were charcoal , fried rice was gluggy , the pork in the sweet and sour was so chewy , worst Chinese I have tasted I won't be back
This is by far the best Chinese in Lake Macquarie. Family owned business. Not the fanciest restaurant out there but the food is unbelievable. Worth trying. For the satay lovers out there they have the best satay chicken you have ever tasted.
Very friendly family business,the food was ready really quickly.Ive travelled china,hong kong etc the food here is to a very high standard,absolutely beautiful food,also reasonably priced
This Classic Chinese Restaurant with low prices is a hidden gem. This restaurant is an institution. It has been there for around 40 years and is part of local history. And the food is excellent. I just had the satay beef/steak for lunch with fried rice for ten bucks (though night prices are more and they also have around 10 meal choices for a $9 lunch), and it was the best satay I have had for years. I split the meal as it was a big serving. The food is always delicious. Once I phoned and asked for a dish they did not have on the menu and they very kindly made it for me anyway. If you like the traditional Chinese restaurants with laminex topped tables that once covered Australia and showed us there is more to dinner than meat and three veg, then this is the place for you. It is at restaurants like this that we discovered and learned to love foreign food. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch Price per person: A$1–20
