Hong Feng Restaurant

I came here for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant was really quiet for lunch time. There was only my table and another table of people eating in. The place is nicely presented, the tables are properly set with fancy chairs and looks like a fine dining restaurant.
There are 2 menus. One for dine-​in and one for take-​away. We ordered from the takeaway menu but were able to dine in… The takeaway menu has all the dishes you’d expect from a Chinese restaurant and really cheap! Around the $ 10 mark.
We ordered pork with sweet and sour sauce, spiced salt and pepper pork, fried egg noodles with vegetables, fried chicken and also steamed dumplings. All the food was really good and beautifully presented.
The service was really good and I’ll come back here again.

You’d think that a Friday night a restaurant in the city would be prepared for a busy night — but you might just be wrong!
Granted, we walked in, a group of 9 without a booking however the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. They had room for us, and after a few short minutes with the menu, wanted our order — we had to tell the waiter to back off a little! We placed our orders a little later, excited by the prospect of what looked like an interesting and tasty selection.
After we’d ordered food, several in our party decided to grab a couple of bottles of white wine — the only problem was that they only had a single bottle of sav blanc cold. So one bottle was shared between us!
Maybe 15 minutes later, a few dishes began to arrive — and it wasn’t necessarily entrees first. Over the course of the following half hour, an array of dishes hit the table at varying times. My first serve of steamed dumplings arrived still frozen at the table — and granted the waiter was apologetic and a steaming hot serve was returned — about 10 minutes later.
The food was good — when it arrived, but dishes being served over that space of time really just isn’t great. It causes people to feel rude if they begin eating before others and then others to feel even hungrier than when they began.
I may return if it’s just myself and my partner but definitely wouldn’t bring a group back!
