Harbour Inn Chinese Restaurant

The restaurant used to be known as Harbour Inn before it became Seaview. The food used to be good, but now it is terrible - the chicken satay skewers were deep fried as if they had been dropped in dirt and left out in the sun. The special fried rice seemed to be made with frozen vegetables and the duck was very fatty. We will not be ordering takeout from here again. It was a complete waste of money.

Got takeaway from here and it was lovely. didnt have to wait long. only complaint would be is that it was quite expensive, $15 for chicken curry and rice was extra

Now called "Sea View Chinese Restaurant". A large eat in or take away restaurant in the heart of Altona. Have dined here many times with the old name and now new. Always found this to be a reliable restaurant with nice typical dishes to be expected at a reasonable price and pleasant atmosphere. The staff are always nice and helpful the meals are always sufficient. Not a restaurant to write home about, but if it's regular Chinese cuisine you want you won't be disappointed with this one. Was pleasantly surprised to be given a complimentary glass of port at the end of my last visit. I will go back and do recommend to others to try. The Chef's suggestions page on the menu is always a good choice.

My family ate in this restaurant when we first arrived as migrants in Australia. We celebrated my dad's first pay check. That was the first and the last (1989). This time around I brought my own family. Surely by now everything would have changed. The room was clean and comfortable. There were mirrors on the wall that made the room feel bigger. We were greeted with a friendly face as soon as we entered the foyer part and welcomed to a table with menus in our hands. The were prawn crackers for us to help ourselves with on our tables. Food I think we had stir fry and fried rice. My husband had soup. A glass of wine and coke. The food quality was nothing exceptional. It was edible. After so many years the physical appearance of this place had improved a lot but the food remains the same unfortunately. On check out, they happily charged our credit card and said good by until my husband asked for a tax invoice then panic strikes and suddenly they were all speaking in another language. Called out the manager they are all confused all of a sudden. A few minutes later the tax invoice finally printed and a handful of cash was handed to us. With apologies left right and centre saying 'we are so sorry we charged you for the wrong table' suddenly we were $30 richer. The manager adds 'never mind that we took it out of the credit card you have cash now'. Just as well we asked for a tax invoice otherwise they would have been happy enough to charge us that much extra on our bill. Maybe I'll come back after 30 years.

The honey chicken here is amazing. At first I did not expect much on entering the restaurant but when I sat down, the merry go land began. It was amazing! The food! The service! I was so happy. The rice is also good. The portion size was also good. What more could you expect? Really. Food = Excellent. Service = Excellent. Thank you. I wish other chinese restaurants could follow your example.
