Chef Dong

Great Chinese restaurant, tables were tightly packed and full, staff were turning people away lining up outside who hadn’t booked on a busy Sunday afternoon. Parking out front is limited but there’s plenty of spots on St Peter’s street with a larger car park behind too. The banquet was excellent, good serving sizes and great to share with friends. There were lobsters fresh on display in their tanks too.

Dim sims were passable but authentic. We had a nice reunion lunch here and it was long chat slightly past the closing time of 2 30pm. The manager there was nice to let us carry on. Price was reasonable.

A$1–20

I found a new favourite spot for yum cha in Adelaide at Chef Dong. It’s a quiet, suburban restaurant that you could easily drive pass but make an effort to drop in for brunch on the weekend. Piping hot plates served as you order from the menu. Fresh fillings and ingredients make you keep ordering more. Friendly service and decently priced

Chef Dong must be something of a secret, (known only to the cognoscenti :) We wanted a light lunch and chose the steamed dumplings (two prawn versions and duck). They were delicious! Also jasmine tea and steamed greens. Waiters were courteous without being intrusive. Around $25 per person. Not bad if you don't want fast Chinese food and an intimate, take your time, experience. For those who want the upgrade to abalone and lobster and have the wallets to sustain those options, they are able to accommodate your desires too!

I sat-here for 55 minute’s waiting for my takeaway They told me I should say a number not my name. I sat there why everyone looked at me. I asked me four times what my name was I said could you please make it again they said no. It was my fault because I did not say the number, I didn’t know that you had to say the number on your receipt not my name, but no one asked me that I asked for different people where my order was, but obviously they were way more interested in the Uber drivers then people giving them money, direct I got home it was all freezing cold. I had to put it in the pan One of the worst experiences for a Friday night take out

Sensational authentic Chinese food with reasonable price! It literally made me nostalgic and homesick😂 The shallot pancake is honestly THE BEST and better than that of ANY other Chinese restaurants in Adelaide. The white bait fish was a dish I only had when I was a child. Chicken in chili oil 口水鸡 was great too, with rich and abundant numbing sensation from the flower pepper. Everything is just fantastic!

Ordered via uber eats 3 mains and 2 soups came in tiny containers and only half filled and cost $84. Beef satays came cold and chewy, inedible. Soups had no flavour other than thickner. I have been to chef dong many times and have enjoyed but this was disgusting. Unlikely to return.

Have tried dishes like roasted duck, salt and pepper prawn, fish fillets. All of them are really nice. Today we tried Salted egg with jumbo prawn which is more expensive than other dishes. It is not worth at all. Prawns are so small and taste is not good. Some of them also not fresh. Roasted duck tastes great but this time, we found hairs as shown in photo. Although tried to call the restaurant for feedback, no one responded.
