Food and service excellent.. Great night Staff friendly and polite
Food was fantastic and seafood was so fresh! Would definitely come back!
The service is always very attentive..sometimes too attentive!! The food is always excellent and very generous servings which is good as the dishes are expensive compared to most Chinese restaurants. We had the salt and pepper prawns and they were so good! Would recommend to all who like good Chinese food. The Vat 47 Chardonnay is also excellent value and a top drop!
Food delicious and brought out in a very timely manner. Staff exceedingly attentive. Many different rooms to offer sense of privacy to diners.
Good food and reasonable prices Very busy but the service was prompt
Fast and exceptional service by the staff. They knew we were going to the Lyric Theatre after so the food came out incredibly quick and the food choices were mouth watering. I would go back there again in a heartbeat.
Too expensive for chinese food and extremely expensive wines - poor
A great lunch with the family. Great service and food! Price a little bit expensive but it was a nice experience.
Great food at The Century. The atmosphere, however, was a little cold.
Great food just need to notify customers that XO sauce has bacon and pork. It's just in case people don't eat it.
Service and food was immaculate! Was a beautiful and pleasant experience.
Extremely poor and rude service. Food did not live up to advertising hype. Avoid.
Staff very pleasant. Entrees (dim sim and dumplings) seemed undercooked. Main meal came out while we were still eating the entree.
We all really enjoyed the food and service at reasonable prices for what we chose. Our waiter was very good at helping us with our selections.
Absolutely beautiful, will go back with the family again 👌🏼
They served mains before starters..all at once. They forced the pace to try rush out the door in one hour. Not worth the price. Never going back.
Very professional restaurant and the food is amazing it’s alwsys fresh and tasty. Would love to go there every week and have dinner with my hubby
Prompt service and good food. Wait staff efficient, pleasant and helpful. All in a very good dinner. Will definitely return to try other dishes on menu.
Very poor food, average setting with no atmosphere. Overall very substandard. I’ve had better chinese takeaways for 1/4 of the price. Don’t waste your time.
Disappointing and confusing would sum up this restaurant. The food was average for big Chinese restaurants. Quality produce adequately prepared to a standard Chinese menu. The service was another story. Confusion and unprefessionalism would define the wait staff. An abundance of staff who meandered aimlessly whilst our drinks went unpoured, dirty dishes uncleared and napkins not delivered. Not worth returning to when there are far better options in the city. Places like Zilver, East Ocean and Phoenix come to mind. Such prime real estate in The Star is wasted on such a lacklustre example of Chinese cuisine.
Live Pippies in Xo Sauce was as amazing as their Golden Century headquarters, perhaps overly efficient service doesn’t leave you alone long enough to enjoy your meal :-)
Highly recommended restaurant. The best Chinese restaurant in the town.
The service was excellent from start to finish. All courses from entree to dessert were amazing. This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants. Love it
A nice meal, but really quite expensive. We chose this as we were seeing a show at the Lyric theatre. Lots of staff on the floor, not the most relaxing experience, being surveyed by the wait staff lined up along the wall!
Excellent experience there, good service, decent atmosphere, delicious food, gonna go there again.
Waiters hovering and rushing us. Not very pleasant, felt pressure to eat and run. Food / wine was very nice but couldn’t relax because of the hovering. 5 dishes didn’t need to come out all at once, they get cold. The price is $$$.
Fantastic service, abundant and prompt staff. Food was terrific! Food was delivered fast and a great selection of dishes was offered. Great environment also! Thank you
Great food, average service though. Staff were unhelpful at times and language barrier was a little frustrating. Wouldn’t pay that much again for that level of service.
I found the all experience to be a little to rushed, it felt that the waiters where pushing the food quickly to get rid of you . It was my greatest restaurant experience, I would not go back
Excellent service. Friendly and well trained staffs. Mouth watering seafood especially pipi in xo sauce. Rice bubble biscuit was a nice yummy surprise to conclude the evening
The food was wonderful however the setting is far from the hype set out in it's website. There's nothing flash about it and certainly no WOW factor. It's a standard Chinese eatery set in the Casino premises with great food. The place was quite drab and boring. It felt as though it was in a temporary place awaiting renovation.
Food average but very expensive & service was below expectations wait staff only comes on ur call. I wouldn’t go back again & will not recommend friends
The waitstaff was lovely and very knowledgeable about the menu. Food was AMAZING!!! Only wish we could have eaten more. We will come back again and again.
We always go there when we are in town the meals are always first class we had a few different things this time and it was allgood
We booked in for Yum Cha on Sunday morning, as advertised on the website. Once we arrived we were advised that there was a yum cha menu but they weren't doing yum cha today. We were the first sitting, and they had run out of Prawn dumplings already, the only dumplings on the menu. The food was fantastic as it always is, however a Father who LOVES yum cha was left feeling dissapointed on Fathers Day, when we could have gone elsewhere had we known in advance.
We arrived at the restaurant and basically got seated on a table that couldn’t fit 6 children on it and shoved in a room with 2 tables that had 20 people on each. Not a good way to start a special night and would think about coming back here again.
The service was impeccable Wide selection of menu options The honey chicken literally melted in your mouth The satay chicken was cooked to perfection, and the satay sauce was light The fried rice needed a little more seasoning I have to say, I have say, it will be difficult to enjoy Chinese food anywhere else now that we've eaten at The Century. Highly recommend
great food good service, will recommend to every one to go and try the food location and the service which is better than any other
Food was great, service was great, however a little rushed, felt like they were rushing us to get the next sitting on our table! Would go back for the food, and order entree first and say we will order main when we get the entree.
Food was fantastic, however the wait time was not so good. We waited over 1 hour for our table even though we had rang through and advise them that we were stuck in traffic and would be there in approx 15 mins.
