KAI FAN CHINESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Have been coming here a couple times in a month. Every dish tastes very authentic and delicious. Definitely traditional Chinese dish here.The plating is also pretty and great for a food blog/IG photo. The service is fast and polite. Location is convenient and easy to find. Has already became my go to place before my classes. Highly recommended.

Today, I went on a trip with a colleague and discovered some delicious food. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. The staff and waiters were very friendly. The main highlight is the authentic flavors. Not only do they serve traditional Hong Kong-style dim sum, but also Hunan and Sichuan cuisine. Especially delicious is the boiled fish and the stir-fried pork with green peppers. You can order based on the photos I took. Everything is very tasty, and the serving sizes are generous, with even the noodles coming in large bowls.

I rode all the way from Sydney to Newcastle, and didn't eat much on the way. This is my first meal today. It was very satisfying and delicious.

HAO CHI NEWCASTLE REVIEWS

Customer service was on point and the food was out of this world. Every single dish had so much flavour. It was a great experience and we will definitely come back.

The views and the atmosphere are breathtaking, the food is spectacular and cooked to perfection. All around just a wonderful place to visit.

Everything about our experience was amazing, from pulling up to the valet, to the spectacular views, top notch food, five star service and sounds of the ocean while eating.

EMERALD GARDENS REVIEWS

Delicious!! We ate the prawn toast for an entree and the deluxe fried rice and the surf and turf in garlic and ginger sauce for mains - can’t recommend them all highly enough. Staff were lovely. Nice cosy atmosphere. And free fortune cookies to boot.

A very good experience with my family. Ambience was very good, decor was calm and cozy, service was excellent, food was really good. Nice choice of cutlery for serving and on table. I ordered Malaysian food and must say this is the closest to Malaysian cuisine that I have tasted so far in Australia. Not many Malaysian dishes though. Every dish was unique with flavor and texture and presentation. Portions very large and sufficient. All in my family enjoyed it. The price was another stunner. For the feel, quality of food, experience, and service it was definitely low.. Have paid much more for lousy food and quality elsewhere. Waiting to go again and try the other dishes. Surely one of my favourites in Newcastle.

Had a booking for 12 people and everything was perfect. The staff, the food and the wait time. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is the best Chinese around. All the dishes are good value and are good size portions.
