The Cherry Blossom - Essendon

The Cherry Blossom has the best Chinese food in Essendon and the surrounding area!! I know, big call. We're very fussy with our Chinese other dining), and tried a number of Chinese Restaurants in the area before stumbling upon this tiny gem of a...restaurant tucked away near Essendon Station. The food is sooo yummy. Too many good dishes to list Mongolian Beef, spicy salt calamari, beef cashews, dim sims, garlic prawns....and on it goes. The prices aren't the cheapest around, but they're still very affordable and the food it worth it. The wine by the glass is extremely affordable too.....and enjoyable. And the owners are the most friendly people you'll ever meet. We feel like one of the family. Since we've been eating in or having take away once or twice a fortnight for the last 4 years, it's not surprising that our 8 year old daughter is very at home here and we're all made to feel so welcome. They're not located where you would notice them just driving by. They're in a corner position next to the railway carpark entry. PLEASE don't get them confused with the Chinese take away that's opposite the bus stop at the station but in the same street) that one looks a bit like a laundry. Go to Cherry Blossom and you won't be disappointed!!

This was a favorite and has changed last? Eating is not so good and it was fantastic earlier. a real scandal! Maybe new owners?

Now, people, uncharted territory for me. that is not a great review. it's not all bad, but something has changed at this place. the whole roasted eating as really oily and pork in the diligent had very little boar in it. the fried rice was burned and stirring meat had only 5 pieces of meat in it. I don't know what to say, but maybe I caught them on a bad day.

This is our book in Essendon. it is a mix of different Asian styles and we have not tried anything we have not yet liked. eating is always fresh and the personal friendly! don't let his station location deter it is. a real hidden gem!

Staff were pretty rude. Typical Chinese joint. Shouldnt have gone there but was dragged by my partner. Wouldnt recommend it.
