    Queen Chow Enmore provides an outstanding Chinese dining experience. The Merivale team have created an enchanting venue with no expenses spared. Walking through the hotel is visually delightful with each different room adorned by unique exotic decor. We ordered and shared the delicious banquet which was well paced by the friendly staff - there’s no rushing guests out for a second seating and we were able to enjoy our dining experience at our own pace. The DJ played cool funky music creating a chilled vibe while we sat back chatting and sipping on great cocktails! Thank you 🙏

    We went for NYE and picked the set menu and it was delicious! We got dumplings, king fish sashimi, scallops, soft shell crab, duck pancakes and more! Service was beautiful and venue is unique. Really feels like a hidden gem. Would definitely go back and would recommend!

    This place is awesome! The atmos is awesome, the food is awesome, the vibe is awesome. Staff are attentive, the plates are generous and the cocktails pretty amazing. My first visit to Queen Chow for a low-key birthday lunch with a couple of mates. We ordered the prawn and wild mushroom dumplings, both were outstanding. The Queen Chow fried rice was delicious, the fish throughout was generous and silky. Also ordered the sweet and sour pork - yum! All three desserts on the menu where good but the young coconut, mango pudding with lychee granita was outstanding. Definitely save room for that! Can’t wait to visit again 👍

    Totally worth the trek through the torrential rain for some delicious food. Everything was super tasty and beautifully presented and needless to say the atmosphere was splendid (I've never seen such huge fiddle leaf fogs, amazing!). Must try: prawn toast, burratta and black pepper Wagyu beef

    My cousin booked dinner here on my trip. I think it's best to make a booking ahead of time as it appears to be quite busy. The ambience was quite nice (other than the loud music) and there is a mix of seating available upstairs depending on whether you just want drinks and nibbles or dinner and drinks. I think the fried rice and salt and pepper squid were the highlights for me and I also really liked the Roku gin and tonic I had. Dim sum platter, BBQ chicken, prawn toast and asparagus noodles were also ordered. No room for dessert tonight! Wait staff were nice and the bartenders were friendly and chatty (had a couple of drinks at the bar after dinner).

    Food was decent enough - nothing really special. Was told it would be a 45 min wait give or take 10 mins either side. Ended up being over an hour and a half. Ended up being about 80pp which was expensive for what we got - plenty of better options near by.

    Cool vibe and decor. Delicious food. Friendly service. Food is Cantonese cuisine with a fusion twist. Recommend the burrata, salt and Pepper cauliflower, prawn toast, deep fried pork buns (wow), coconut dessert. Cocktails are also fantastic On the pricier side (as most merivale venues are) but you get what you pay for - overall a good experience and place to hang out with friends

    We dined for lunch and had a great time. Pork buns are good, dumplings are fresh and tasty. The kung pao chicken was hot and spicy and the duck noodles was really nice too. Fried ice cream was my favourite. The staff are very friendly and the service is fast and efficient.

    I had a fantastic dinner a Queen Chow. The service was truely amazing and the crew extremely attentive and friendly. The food is sourced from quality ingredients. I would definitely recommend trying the Stir fried black pepper wagyu beef and the queen chow fried rice (with typhoon shelter)

    Update-we revisited Queen Chow a month ago, it seems that they have improved. The score has been updated to reflect the positive effort made by the restaurant. Absolutely loved this place. Been here many times. However our recent visit is such a disappointment. $110, 3 main dishes, both of us feel hungry afterwards. The Angus beef only had 8 small cubes. We used to pay $55pp for set menu. This place is going downhill, very disappointed, won’t come back again!

    I booked a table for dinner yesterday night and Maya was our waitress. She got as a drink and a few really good recommendations always at time and with a smile on her face. Food was amazing, her service was even better. Keep going what you are doing and you'll get high! Thanks for making our experience so incredible. Also I wanna thank the chef's for the Amazing food and Jack for the drinks, it was good to see you again. Sergio and Edurne

    Very nice environment wait staff are great decore great . If you want the terrace book early. Went for lunch had the dim sim, steamed and fried. Very nice, I would say not as nice as Chinese dim sim. But very nice any way. Easily come back here maybe for dinner so much more on the menu that needs trying. I've rated 4. I would say 4.5, I don't like giving 5s on the first visit. It's not cheap eats but not over the top for the quality

  • 5/5 Niamh M. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing! My fiend and I went last night. Food was amazing and the service 5 star!!

  • 3/5 Ross M. 3 years ago on Google
    Cocktails weren't done well. Service was great to start with but the small tables and share plates filled up pretty quickly and we had to put plates to the chair next as service wasn't fast enough. Not what you would expect for th price point

    Absolutely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Venessa D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service and food!!

  • 3/5 El A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food at Queen Chow is made well and everything tasted nice but I don't believe it's worth the price point. The dim sum was good but for $38, it seemed too ordinary. The same could be said to all the dishes. The service was friendly enough but it got too much after drinks were served. I can't remember her name but it was one particular server who came to our table after every dish was served, sometimes twice after a dish was served, to ask if everything was ok. It felt a little OTT in my opinion, like she was expecting something to be wrong. Everything at Queen Chow was ok but I don't think I'd be rushing back any time soon.

  • 5/5 Antonella B. 1 year ago on Google
    The dumplings are heavenly, it is one of those places that you know no matter what you order you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend the prawn toast, pork hock and fried rice!

  • 4/5 Gary S. 3 years ago on Google
    Intriguing decor. A really appealing menu. Very attentive table service.

  • 5/5 Tj C. 3 years ago on Google
    One of our go to places for special occasions. Food and service is amazing. Great Chinese & seafood menu. We usually get the Crab when we go there & had 2 lobster when we were there last for my bday. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

  • 4/5 Vivek B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious. We went there on a Thursday and the place was fairly busy. Live music playing and a warm ambience. The service was a little, well not putting, but lacking as there were few miscommunication between the service, the ordering and the kitchen. That kind of felt like a bit of a bump with otherwise would have been a 5/5 experience. Give yourself plenty of time to find parking, specially if you are going there for dinner cause parking is very hard to find around Enmore..

  • 5/5 leanne j. 3 years ago on Google
    Yum! Friendly staff and delicious food - prawn toast and the mixed dumplings are a favourite.

  • 5/5 J M. 1 year ago on Google
    An awesome experience from start to finish. The dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious with the dim sum collection an absolute standout. The black Angus pepper beef was juicy, peppery and spicy complemented by the flavoursome friend rice. A bit on the pricier and more ‘fine dining’ side but definitely worth it for a great night out!

  • 4/5 M K. 9 months ago on Google
    great food but portion size is small for the price. plenty of seating, quite during the weekday. good alcohol drinks, very westernised asian dishes. friendly staff. was so confused when i was finding it because it’s upstairs of a bar.

  • 5/5 Kieran E. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious Peking duck pancakes, crispy and golden fried cauliflower, inventive fusion burrata, and explosive Szechuan fried chicken -- Queen Chow delivered on a stunning, delicious array of dishes the other night. The service was fun and professional with a great interior to enjoy while chomping down on some top grub.

  • 5/5 X O. 1 year ago on Google
    Ye. I can't fault QC. Staff are so nice. The bars are beautiful. I had to ask: 'Is this a Hemmes establishment?' Of course it is. Staff are always attentive, but they are busy everything is just so. Got the duck, rice, noodles. Hemmes knows how to keep a simple menu, but make it great. People are there for the drinks, and they have a container load. Yes, it's expensive, but what delivery, atmosphere, calm with blues music .. well, half the time. I admit my bill was covered by someone else, and I could've gone nuts, but it was so good. Food, and living somewhere quiet, are true signs of wealth. OK, and the motorcycle to get to these places ... I highly recommend going to Cow and the Moon Gelateria after. You will not get better gelato in Sydney.

  • 4/5 Holly F. 8 months ago on Google
    A bit confusing to find the place since it was located above a bar but got there in the end. Pretty nice outdoor atmosphere with succulent decor. The interior was quite nice too with Asian inspired wallpaper. Staff were really accomodating with decent knowledge of the menu. Starting off with the steamed scallops. Very tender and silky, paired with the right condiments and plenty of coriander. Moving on to the Peking duck. Quite standard. Just wish the skin was a bit more crispy. The meat was a bit tough and chewing too. Onto the lobster noodles as the main. The waiter recommended this dish and said it was really popular so we decided to give it a go…wasn’t great. The noodles were like the ones that you get in packeted instant noodles and there were very limited pieces of lobster meat in the dish. The bits of meat that were in there were very tough to the point where it felt like it was over cooked…the rest of the meat were in the lobster and had to break each leg with our hands to get to the meat. Quite disappointing as it kind of ruined the fine dining experience. Finally onto desserts, got the fried ice cream, pandan pudding and crème brûlée the fried ice cream was quite standard as the ones you would get in other Asian restaurants but the thing that made it stand out was the butterscotch sauce!! The pandan pudding was nice but it was lacking some texture since the cake was extremely soft as it was soaked in liquid, and hence the whipped cream wasn’t the perfect match. The crème brûlée tart was the best dessert we got but just wish the portion size was a bit bigger since the tart was really thin. Overall it was a decent experience and might consider coming back in the far future.

    Service was noticeably friendly. Food was utterly amazing! My new favourite local place to bring my friends and family to.

  • 3/5 Moony D. 8 months ago on Google
    Really nice ambience and interiors inside. Very quiet during the afternoon lunch peak hour too (though for good reasons). Biggest gripe with this place though is that the costs of food is pretty overpriced. It was around $40/pp or you could opt for the $100/pp banquet.

  • 5/5 Michael N. 3 months ago on Google New
    Queen Chow has become my local - the place I go when I want a really good meal, and a really good cocktail. The food is always excellent - big flavours, fresh ingredients, just delicious. Try the dumplings, the prawn toast and the sweet and sour pork (yes, I know... against all odds it's really very good - crunchy and sweet and fresh from the pineapple). Desserts are also top rate. The staff are delightful and incredibly easygoing. A seat at the bar on a Sunday afternoon, some dumplings, a cocktail to two. This is the good life.

  • 5/5 Jackie S. 4 months ago on Google
    For some reason, Queen Chow has become my happy place restaurant. My personal Top 10, whenever I feel like good food and a place that makes me happy. Whether it is lunch or dinner, I love the different vibes each visit. The consistency is always the fun, happy music in the background, great food - no matter what I've ordered so far - and fabulous service. I absolutely love the decor and set up of the place. Peking duck was delicious, although the pancakes were slightly thicker than usual. The highlight of the night was definitely the lobster. It was super delicious as the Chinese said - it has the heat and fire from the wok. You would think it is easy to do.. heat from the stove and wok... toss it around. I'm telling you it takes skills and practice and years of it. Great wine selection and the desserts were distinct in flavour and absolutely beautiful. Rich flavour from the deep fried ice cream followed by the palette cleansing granita. Is the best combination to end the night with my family. Thank you for looking after us. We had a great night.

    Best food I've had in a long time. The quality of the food and unique flavors are such a hook. We'll be back for sure. Really good service and drinks as well. I recommend the burrata and tuna ceviche for starters and the beef and queen fried rice as the main. You'll probably need a reservation if it's a Friday or Saturday. You gotta give them a try ❤️

  • 4/5 erinxeats 4 months ago on Google
    Dimsum is delicious and the burrata is uniquely divine. Mocktails were great and so was the tuna Ceviche. Duck pancakes were good but some duck pieces were tough. Overall a little expensive but guaranteed a good feed. Check out my food Instagram @erinxeats for more!

  • 5/5 Saki M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Everything was so delicious and big portions. I highly recommend going there with a big group, so you won't miss their menu 😊

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 3 years ago on Google
    These guys are without a doubt the most helpful when dealing with food allergies and intolerances!! I'm a low FODMAPer and mainly stick to no onion or garlic when eating out. When eating at Queen Chow staff will let me know if there's any in the meal, including sauces or seasonings, and will remove it if possible. I'm so glad that I live just around the corner and their food is delish too :)

  • 5/5 Veronics A. 3 years ago on Google
    I took my partner here for our 2 year anniversary. He's a proper foodie and I'm always a little worried of the places I take him in case it's not his liking. Not only had he already been but he again was so excited and loved it. All the dishes were delicious and fresh. The staff were attentive and very friendly. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 John M. 3 years ago on Google
    We ate here for the first time and will definitely be coming back. This is now my favourite restaurant. 5/5 for service, quality of food and ambience.

  • 4/5 james h. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. We shared as a group of 4 and had more than we could finish plus a bottle of wine for $65 a head. Staff were very accommodating and pleasant. Definitely going again

  • 4/5 Fei 3 years ago on Google
    Really good Kingfish sashimi and other dishes were not bad at all. The whole experience couldn’t live up to the price though.

  • 5/5 Rach J. 3 years ago on Google
    The restaurant's vibe is different than any chinese restaurant I have been to, mellow/old school but also modern. Definitely the best prawn toast I have ever had, almost as good as the live seafood we had. The glazed pork was cooked to perfection and is a must try. The staff is super friendly and helped us order the right amount of food.

  • 5/5 I Am S. 3 years ago on Google

    Food presentation and taste was fantastic. The entire establishment was very aesthetically pleasing. Wait staff were prompt and courteous without being overbearing and interruptive.

  • 3/5 liam S. 3 years ago on Google
    Had my 21st there Amazing food but I had really bad customer service we had a 2 hour time limit for Covid restrictions. But the hole time I was there I was getting pushed to hurry along we could not enjoy our meal in peace. In the end we were having cake we asked for 5 more mins and the staff said we couldn't have cake after paying over 500 dollars on food there felt like a fast food restaurant.

  • 5/5 Miss D. 4 years ago on Google
    Located within close proximity to the Enmore theatre, this was a great place to grab a few drinks and food before a gig we went to. We ordered the food & drinks at the bar and the food came out super fast! Food was great, especially the salt & pepper squid! Service was friendly as well! They do 2 happy hrs in one night! 👌🏼

    Good food

  • 3/5 frosty t. 3 years ago on Google
    Overall it was a decent experience. The food is quite overpriced for Chinese food. Firstly if you have large groups you are forced to get a banquet, which is generally okay but one of the dishes served is a tray of steamed dumplings. The issue is there are 4 different types of dumplings but they only serve enough where you can only try 2. (Overall though the taste of the dumplings are quite good, well balanced flavours). The entrees of salt and pepper squid and cucumber salad were all good and at that point I thought maybe it is worth the price. Then came the mains.... the fried rice was relatively standard and the parrot fish fillet was very disappointing... it was actually quite dry.. I would say probably overcooked. The snake bean stir fry witg cuttlefish was not bad. Later we got sweet and sour pork which was disappointing; lacking in flavour, probably due to the size of each piece. The steam greens... which were rather bitter, probably cause the greens were a bit old. The dessert was very average too... it came as large deep fired ice cream... which looked impressive... but the ice cream itself was bland which is disappointing... it was also a tad in the ice'r side instead of being creamy. Overall I would not recommend the banquet. If anything for a la carte and focus on the entrees.

    Food is really good and good selection of beer, even had Wayward raspberry berliner Weiser 😊

  • 4/5 Alison G. 3 years ago on Google
    Not bad, as a modern western style Chinese restaurant, flavour was generally good, tho not perfect. I love the whole decoration in this place and service was friendly. However, for a bottle of still water charged $10 was really a ripoff.

  • 4/5 Adam A. 3 years ago on Google
    The burrata was the standout. Lovely vibe too.

  • 3/5 Rita A. 3 years ago on Google
    Very pricey. Also their fried Dim Sim platter is not a platter of Dim Sim. It had spring rolls in it. How are spring rolls Dim Sims??

  • 4/5 Adrian T. 3 years ago on Google
    Came for dinner on a Sunday and the restaurant was quite busy. A good menu with variety of options, with a separate section for different types of roast meat. Everything we ordered was tasty and the portions were decent. With that said, in my opinion none of the dishes were groundbreaking and not sure if it's worth the price point when you can get comparable dishes at any decent local Chinese restaurant. Also, to get to the restaurant you need to walk through the bar section which we thought had better atmosphere. We would choose to dine there instead next time.
