Kariong Chinese Restaurant in New South Wales

"This is a calm, quaint little restaurant that is full of simplicity and warmth. The food is not rich, simply made and tasty and fresh. It's popular for take away orders but I enjoy dining in. The restaurant has simple, neat decor and is very well lit. It's good for a large group, with prior reservations made. It is also a good stop for a quick lunch or dinner when travelling up the central coast. The restaurant can accommodate small modifications on their dishes if you have dietary restrictions or requirements. All dishes are made to a certain standard of taste and freshness so I am not particularly recommending any. I can confidently say that all items on the menu are flavourful. The kitchen is right next to the seating area so you can get all the fragrance and the smell of cooking sometimes It is not annoying but keeps the experience real. I don't mind it but it's there! The drinkware, crockery and cutlery are very clean and spotless. Love that! Overall, it offers a good experience for a very reasonable price. I keep visiting time and again. I recommend the in-person dining experience more than home delivered food from them. The restaurant usually closes at 8pm."

"I had only tried this place once before and it was a long time ago so I thought id try it out again for my lunch, I am so thrilled with the quality of food that I received, it was a great price for a good serving, I had the Singapore noodles and it brought me back to a small Chinese restaurant ive been craving for the last 6 months! I no longer have to travel to sydney to get a good meal, yummy!"

"Its definitely a hidden gem! Probably the best chinese restaurant in terms of taste and value for money. We ordered the lunch special oyester sauce chicken and the super yumm salt and pepper pork, both with fried rice. Taste was absolutely devine. And its very good value for money. Quantity was great. Will definitely go again. Update: went again the next day and ordered a whole dish of the salt and pepper pork and chilli chicken. Yumm!!"

"We recently moved to Kariong and gave “the local Chinese” a go and so glad we did! We have had takeaway delivered from here a few times now and I’m absolutely blown away by the service every time. Such a lovely experience from start to finish. (Not to mention quick) As soon as I opened my door, I was greeted with genuine warmth. (By not one but two people, one introducing the new delivery driver for the restaurant) Was great they even gave my dogs some attention which is rare for when you have food delivered. How cool. We ordered satay chicken (so flavourful and tender!), prawn omelette (light and fluffy with juicy prawns), cheeseburger spring rolls (my kids loved these and they were surprisingly delicious), and honey prawns (crispy, sweet perfection). Everything was fresh, hot, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are equally fantastic — we’ll absolutely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Had lunch special today with sweet & sour pork on fried rice, including a can if soft drink. Only $13.8. Good quality for the money."

"Great little restaurant. I live in Newcastle and wanted to meet friends from Sydney for lunch. Did a google search to find a restaurant half way to meet. Found this little gem and wasn’t disappointed. Food was so fresh and tasty. Service was great and prices reasonable."

"Had dinner here. Ok chinese dishes a bit too sweet. Nice staff and environment"

"As a local that has recently moved into the area, I was looking for a chinese restaurant that delivered everything I had in my previous local spot - This place succeed expectations. The service here is fantastic – the reception staff were incredibly courteous and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The meals were absolutely delicious, with the hot chips cooked to perfection and the Thai fried rice packed full of flavour and freshness. It’s clear they take pride in the quality of their food and service. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Kariong Chinese Restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal with friendly service."
