Chungking - Burwood

The customer service was the worst thing I've ever seen. I waited minutes to realize that I was not willing to serve that forget my order and did not seem to apologize!

We went there recently and were highly disappointed. The stream pork ribs were nothing but bones. The chicken dish was absolutely the worst dish we have ever had in our lives! There was not a single piece of visible chicken...instead small sharp bones all over the plate! It cost us $20...only worth $5 max! The beef potato noodle soup...the fattest beef you can get...the most oily soup you can imagine...then dessert...shocking again! We ordered a bowl of black sesame sticky rice balls. First bite there was a solid piece of sugar in what suppose to be very smooth black sesame fillings...overall very unpleasant and expensive dinner. Definitely not going back ever again!!!

Wasn't expecting much from Chungking but we were pleasantly surprised. It was a random pick for dinner as we saw a short queue outside. Put our names down on the waitlist and were seated in about 15 mins. Nice interior with plenty of space between tables; if anything, I thought they could have fit more seating! Food was tasty and I really liked the barramundi that was braised in a slightly spicy black bean based sauce. By far, the most popular dish here seems to be the fish soup with pickled vegetables which seemed to be on every other table. Regretfully we didn't try it this time but it looked great. Service was efficient and I'd return.

The best under -rated dish in the menu is actually deep fried corn with salted egg yolk Guys, you should try this! You know, the sweetness from the corn and the saltiness from egg yolk was a really great combo. Tried the jelly fish cold dish over ice bowl with cucumber and wood ear mushroom, with some vinegar dipping by sauce. The rest of the dish were good too.

I've been here many times and have not ever been disappointing. It's very reasonable priced and tasted fricken amazing. Highly recommend the fish soup, pig trotters, pork hock, and clams.
