Airlie Wok Inn - CANNONVALE

Phoned and made a booking and when we arrived at the booked time the restaurant was closed but the Thai restaurant that was adjoining was open and the waitress rushed across to us and explained that the Chinese was closed but they had their menus and the same chefs and had our booked table ready for us. The food eventually came out with extremely small portions, and was cold! We complained and the waitress removed our plates and said she would sort it out ... she never returned so we just walked out. Definitely would never recommend this restaurant to anybody. Prices were about double what you would pay elsewhere, portions were 1/3 the size of elsewhere ... all in all it was just a big letdown to a special father's day night.

Inexplicably horrific. Terrible food to match the horrendous prices. Service was sloppy and aloof, and showed no interest in the 4 diners in the restaurant. Our food was somehow sent to the wrong table, with no apology nor rectification. I highly disregard this restaurant, and have no problem in saying it is the worst establishment I have ever dined in, and would not wish upon anyone to try their luck here.

Worst chinese i have ever had. It was dry, flavors weren't there. Such a disappointment. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

What can i say about a place that has such disgusting food at prices that will make your eyes water (and your wallet scream) ?Well,the best i can say is this....STAY AWAY,STAY FAR AWAY.We came here after a long day of catching flights,walking to accommodation and generally settling in.We had a craving for some Chinese food,so came here...what a mistake.First off,the place was shut for renovations,so we rang the number and received no response.After a while,the Thai restaurant across the floor saw us and said we had to go there to get fed,as the kitchen there was being used by the Chinese place.We went over and waited ages to be served,and when that did happen,and we later (much later) received our food,we were shocked....tiny,tiny portions of almost inedible food,rice sold by the handful (over $4 a handful mind you) and less than cold drinks.As we were starving,we reluctantly ate,but it was a mistake we will never repeat.After we paid the bill,my husband told me what the bill was...i almost died.I had to go back up and query it,but yep,$70 was correct for a saucer plate sized portion of beef and blackbean,same size portion of sate chicken and the aforementioned handful of rice each...washed down with 2 diet cokes (i thought there must have been a charge for eating on a Sunday,as i know there sometimes is,but NO,that was usual cost.Being from Sydney,we had a general idea of the cost of this meal,as it is a regular meal for us here,but this was extortion at it's best (no wonder the local pizza shop,with it's $5 pizzas was making a killing with backpackers).The restaurant itself seemed a little dirty,had no aircon (yep,over 70% humidity and 30 degree heat still saw no aircon) and was very cheap looking (that's all that was cheap).Do check out another Chinese restaurant up at Cannonvale if you have a hankering for this cuisine,it can't possibly be any worse.

We went to get a carry out and it was our first experience of "Chinese" in Australia so weren't 100% sure on the menu! Eg the closest or thing to what we would usually order in the uk! When I asked about a honey chicken dish with cashews I was looked at Astho I spoke German to her then asking for chips took around four attempts were we almost had prawn crackers ordered??? They had ZERO time and we felt extremely rushed so ended up asking what one dish was and them taking it that that was our order! We were then told a 30min wait only to have the food sitting on there desk for 10 of those minutes meaning food was cold at home and hard little to no taste apart from the honey chicken tasting like a pancake SOAKED in hunny.I was soo annoyed it prompted me to write my first ever review to warn people of our mistake DONT waist your time here!
