Perfectly located in Stockland Benowa Gardens retail complex, tempting lunchtime students over from Benowa State School and intrepid seniors from Lady Small Haven Retirement Village, Benowa Highland Court Chinese is probably the best place for regional Chinese cuisine in this part of the Gold Coast. Popular dishes here include the Mongolian lamb (the famous house special), beef with black bean sauce and classic sweet and sour pork. Yum cha is also on the lazy susan, while other regional dishes like the Shan Tung chicken and even some random Thai dishes make the cut. Spice lovers will go for the Szechuan seafood combo, with your choice of spicy, fiery, and volcanic chilli, but you can also go for great value set meals if you’re feeling indecisive. If you’re approaching by road, look for the mall along Ashmore Road.
