Absolutely disastrous the moment arrived without any staff greeting us to direct the reserved table. The vacant table was pointed out for us, awkwardly stood by the table waiting for staff to set up. Food items on the menu are no longer served without crossing out, of which were once my favourite. Waiting time for food to come out was longer than the Great Wall, not only that but 2 items on the order didn't even make its appearance on our table, we weren't informed by the staff at all. Lastly, bill was presented to us with the total amount of all items ordered, including those weren't delivered. The cashier acted surprised and reduced the unavailable items on the total. On a cold winter day, main door was left open for chill wind coming through was another highlight of my disappointment with the restaurant.

Visited Sunday 19 January. Service was way below its usual standard. Possibly because there was no supervision.

Great food at reasonable prices. The only issue is you need to be straightforward in communicating with wait staff, otherwise the message can be lost in translation.

Too many items listed on the menu were unavailable when ordered, these included the cold lamb entrée, entrée soy beef and the Peking lamb. I will not be going back with all the other restaurant options available in China town.

Service was rubbish. Changed hands never going back there. Young kids running the show. Use to be packed but we were the only 1s in there and people queued up for other restaurants. Action speak louder then words.

We had a great time at Ant’s Bistro. The no frills restaurant is perfect for a laid back, BYO dinner. Would definitely visit again!

Great food and staff coped really well with taking our order for 10 people. The only let down was the final wait on our last two mains as there was a decent gap between them arriving after our rice and other mains. Will happily go back! Good price for our meal too.

Had dinner first time in nearly 10 years. It was still good. Ordered stir fried spinach and young bamboo, but not much spinach and young bamboos were tough.

Great food that is not the usual "Chinese" with friendly, attentive sevice. The salt and pepper tofu alone is worth a visit. They will cater for food restrictions.

Average at best. Nothing extraordinary. Friendly staff and atmosphere ok. If you are wanting a unique dining experience or looking to impress, this isn't it. Same Chinese food you would get at your local restaurant.
