Young people, take note: run far away from this place. We paid $150 per person for a total of seven of us, and honestly, we would have been better off going to McDonald's. Not that I typically eat fast food, but even their offerings are a huge step up from this restaurant. The fish was served cold and lacked any flavor, likely because it was frozen. The meat dish was so unappetizing that it wasn't fit for my dog. I often pay top dollar for great meals throughout Australia, but this was a complete disaster! I was furious! I called American Express Centurion to report this place and demand my money back.

Just some minor tweaking and the menu could be much better. Also I couldn’t fault the service, the staff were great. Entrees Squid toast awesome Tofu awesome Dumplings sauce was awesome, dumplings were bland Mains Roast duck was cooked really well but lacked seasoning. It was disappointing as it looked so good. It was basically like a really good roast duck in oil and soy. Couldn’t taste any traditional stuff like 5 spice. No sweetness. Needed way more depth of flavour but that could be fixed so easily. Prawn in Laksa the Laksa was not great. Didn’t even taste like a laksa. The prawns seemed nice and fresh, but lacked seasoning and paired with the soup was pretty average Sweet and Sour Chicken soggy, oily chossie. The place has an amazing setting and great potential. Some of the technique was done so well but some basic flavour and seasoning let’s it down. Would pass as a local take away but not an up market set menu.

Owned by Head Chef Mal Chow, it is an acclaimed restaurant with innovative modern Chinese fusion interpretation of classic Asian dishes. Located near House of Cards and Gabriel Chocolate (tip, do a chocolate tasting before your meal), Chow’s table has a welcoming, well lit ambience. Service is prompt, friendly. The dishes are designed to be shared. Which is the way many Asian diners would have their meals. You order 3 small entree and 3 mains out of the list for the whole table. There is no option to split the order(s) to try everything on the menu, although you can add additional dishes if you need to. Can’t decide what to order? Ask your waitress. They’re very familiar with the menu. Or check out their instagram for inspiration. The squid toast is a highlight. Crisp, yet not oily. A crunchy morsel of sesame, seafood filling and toast. One of the best we have had. Steak tartare was also perfectly done. Fresh and everything just perfect together. French yet instead of bread, there is a Chinese doughnut that works surprisingly well. Radish cake was crisp on the outside, gooey on the inside. The home chef in me prefers less flour and more radish but that is perhaps a subjective matter. It goes without saying that Entree was a highlight. Dishes are however, small. Mains. There is a bowl of fluffy, white rice to share. So you won’t be hungry. The Ma Po tofu. It’s a huge bowl. The tofu is made locally and so very melt in your mouth. Almost to-fu fa in consistency. The Schezuan peppercorn however gives it a kick. If you’re not familiar with this, you have been warned. Prawn laksa. A light, almost tempura batter with a large, single prawn. But please de-vein them in the future! Why go to the effect of removing half the shell (head/tail are intact) and not removing the vein? Laksa broth was light and fragrant. Pork belly mostly melt in your mouth. Though we thought the pork hadn’t quite fully integrated the flavours of the broth. I suggest pairing dishes with the Beers on offer. It is a small but well curated list. My taste buds were somewhat overwhelmed with the barrage of peppercorns and flavours that wine would have been a difficult order. We left very, very full. And satisfied. High chair and child friendly ; open grass right outside. And Gabriel’s offer a promising ice-cream or chocolate offering for after.
