I've had well in excess of 10 meals at this restaurant over the past few years. It's always full, very noisy, you often struggle to get the waitron's attention and communication can be challenging, but when the food arrives it is always the same consistently well executed fare at a very reasonable price. This has made it one of Adelaide's... More

I have been coming to Ying Chow for about 15 years. The food and the service has been fantastic! However: the last three visits ( I keep trying) I have found the place has materially gone down hill! What's happened????? Service; slow, staff that don't get the order right, meals that just don't arrive. Staff; many staff just "don't understand"... More

This is my favourite chinese restaurant of all time. I am vegetarian but I know many non vegos who love it too. It is not a quiet restaurant to linger in but if you want delicious food, quickly at a reasonable price it is a great place to eat. Service is friendly and although it is furnished basically it does... More

Seems to be the only place open in the late hours but that doesn't have to mean bad quality. We'd ordered 3 dishes and 2 arrived ok - the chicken was terrible and was slightly redeemed by the tea smoked duck dish which we all enjoyed but we waited some time for the highlight of the scallops but nothing arrived....

Another favourite Chinese restaurant haunt! Well-priced, reasonably authentic. I've tried most of their dishes, and everything's been really good! Definitely one to recommend!

The food here is fantastic. Who cares if the decor is a little old and the service is a bit slow, the food definitely makes up for it. Can't go past the tea smoked duck and BBC, this is by far the best place on Gouger Street, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Also open until 2 - 3am, great... More

After getting a seat with a temporary and extremely wobbly round table, it took a few requests to even get a menu. On the verge of leaving, the menus arrived. Menu choices were varied and the food, if/when it arrived was good, but we finished 3 dishes 5 minutes before the 4th one arrived, although we asked several different waiters... More

The food was wonderful, and the prices were very reasonable. We arrived at 6 PM, got seated right away, and in minutes the place was packed! We are here for 3 weeks and will definitely go back.

Tonight my sister and I went here for dinner. We have been before a while ago but it has definitely gone down hill! We ordered garlic prawns for about fifteen dollars and literally got a plate with seven prawns on it! We had to ask and make sure this was the main serve which the owner came out insisting it...
