Tong Lok Chinese Restaurant - Monash

For 2 years this place has been visited and it has become my family go-to place for good Cantonese cuisine in a family-friendly environment. recommend the taro yam dee, deep roasted chicken ribs in golden egg yolk and the deep fried flounder in spicy salt. vincent in front of the house always offers a quick and friendly service.

This place has risen in recent years. as a cheap local Chinese restaurant, eating is fresh and crisp and the personal fantastic. encourage them to eat to experience eating.

I came to had early dinner with one of my group of people. The menu was too many items which takes some time to order. Had my spring roll taste as a frozen items, the Mongolian beef was good, the prawns was too oily,...calamari is tasty. BYO wine for per person is fair. Overall, although the taste was not the best but the atmosphere was good. Hope this restaurant can open until midnight as we live close in the area and we love to eat Chinese foods instead others establishment in the area

Arrived to pick up telephone order. Restaurant was only quarter full with patrons. No staff in sight. After a few minutes I was greeted by a waiter who then wetn out to kitchen for my order. Returned a nfew minutes later to announce that they...had run out of plain rice. New batch would take a further minutes. Agreed to swap to fried rice. He went out to arrange that. A couple arrived for dinner and were left standing for over minutes, while waiter served tables. Another patron arrived to pick-up ordered take away. Another staff member came out and attended to him totally ignoring the couple standing there. Eventually they were seated at a table set for Waiter brought out my order, but then had trouble working out what was in the containers which were clear plastic. While he was doing that a patron who he had been serving at a table came up to complain that they had not been provided with plates to eat their food from and a meal which was supposed to be served first had not been served at all. He was speechless. She was disgusted and walked back to her table. I paid and left with my order. Food was ok but not as spicy as the menu suggested. No surprise that it was only quarter full on a Saturday night.

This occasion take away. We rang ahead told would be minutes. Fine. Took minutes. Food okay but service is non-existent. No real apology, I won't be back.
