Nanking Woodlands - Mount Saint John

Every Australian town has a Chinese restaurant and this culture has been refined to favourite Menus where numbers are used - this is one of those tasty places - we had a great takeaway from here - nice Spring Rolls

Small family run business. Always happy, always friendly and never had a bad meal. Food is fresh and delicious.

When i lived locally i would go here every tuesday night. was in the area the other night and couldnt pass up the chance for "nanas" (as we in our house hold affectionatley call the owner lady) sweet and sour pork. Just as amazing as it was every other time i've had it. I have never had a bad meal or bad experience here.

My wife really wanted a Chinese Takeaway for our Friday night tea and as the Nanking was our local and we had not been there before we decided to give them a go.We ordered Sweet & Sour Prawns, Scallops in a Satay Curry and Coconut Rice.We were firstly surprised to see a carton as one of our containers but were assured all our order was correct. When we arrived home the carton contained battered (very thick) prawns with a small container of sweet & sour sauce which we combined with some store sauce so we had enough. The rice was plain rice with a bit of coconut milk poured over it (this is sure not how it is supposed to be made). But the big disappointment was the Satay Curry and what was supposed to be scallops but they were small hard bullets about the size of a ten cent piece (just) they tasted fishy and were very hard. I returned with these the next night but were assured the bag from the supplier was labeled scallops, she tried to tell me the large scallops were artificial and I explained I have dredged and had scallops myself and know what they look like and taste like. As I was not going to get anywhere I told her I would not be back and left.If you go there don't order the scallops....actually I'd advise to bypass this takeaway.

I have had take away from them on several occasions, can't fault it. Great food, great service and very friendly. Will be back again next time in Townsville.
