This is one of my favourite restaurants and the food is consistently good and well priced.
Its not quite as profound and complex as Atom Thai, but they are 2 different cuisines. The food at Tai Pak is rather simple, but the flavour of their sauces are superb for Chinese.
In terms of value they are so far ahead of any restauant ive been too.
If anything Atom could be a tad overpriced. As a comparison u may pay almost double per head to eat at Atom Thai. You wont find the complex entrees you find at Atom, but the mains taste bloody good. I must have eaten at Tai Pak now for over 15 yrs im sure, maybe its longer.
That Chef must have been working there the same time too lol.
Tai Pak is like the 1 constant in the ever changing universe lol apart from Harry Callahan and myself lol... Very reliable lol
As i said to Nerida on the way to La Shish lol If that restaurant sucks and were still hungry we know where to drop in on the way home LOL
here is my review:
Its very seldom to get a restaurant where the value is a perfect 10, but Tai Pak pulls it off. Ive been eating at Tai Pak for several years and they seldom disappoint.
Tai Pak serves the best modern Chinese food I have tasted. Their Mongolian combination and Mountain Chicken is second to none.
Ive never been too keen on their fried rice, in fact I havent come across a fried rice at any Chinese restaurant lately worth noting. If their fried rice was good, id have given them 10 for food.
I also like their prawn cutlets, and prawn toast.
The service can be a little indifferent on some occasions but that isn't a major concern, because you come here for the BEST food at reasonable prices. The service is a bonus and on most occasions its pretty good.
Last time they brought out a special ice bucket on a stand, and a second one for our rice so we had more room on the table.
The owner Jenny, is always friendly.
For such a humble establishment its one of my favourite places to eat, and one where u can have an entree and 3 mains plus dessert for around 25 dollars per head.
Their fried icecream is good too. I dont like a huge thick crust on my battered icecream, and this 1 is nice and thin, with a nice coconut infusion of flavour.
They always finish with a modest serving of fruit, fresh wet napkin and a fortune cookie. fortune cookies seem like a dying race these days.
One of my top restaurants!
