Absolutely horrible service. Waiter spilt food all over me, slammed all of our food on the table and we had to ask him multiple times for things. Horrible.

The best Chinese restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The Chilli mud crab was to die for. Will definitely go back again

Reasonable variety of dim sums for the yum cha. Service can be improved (missed orders, lengthy periods before dirty dishes are collected etc but still much better than it's sister restaurant in China Town)

Delicious seafood! Made with expert precision! Simply the best Chinese seafood restaurant in Australia. Service is top class. Very respectful waiters and managers. If you take into account the live seafood being prepared with the best ingredients and with the best skills it’s not too expensive. After I eat here I don’t want to eat live seafood elsewhere.

Staff were rude and took our plates away while we were in the middle of eating. They didn't know their wine list when we questioned them on certain wines. You would think that it is important to train your staff on their wine list. food was average

My husband's food was great - I ordered the wrong dish - it was described as broccilli with crab meat. The crab meat was white liquid mush - just awful. Lesson learned for me is to only order dishes that they show photos of. The staff also did their best to get us in and out as quickly as possible. Not very relaxing

We ordered basic Chinese food and it was ok but pricey for what we received. Maybe next time we will order seafood. The tables for two were quite close together so we could hear their conversations! Staff were lovely.

Our group of seven chose from the yum cha menu. Food was prepared freshly for the table .It was a little strange receiving one dish of vegetables and then having to wait ......wait .....wait for the other dishes to be delivered. Food was tasty and good value . We left feeling fulfilled and without feeling as though the food was heavy .

There was nothing gluten free. I had to have the steak which came on a bed of about 4 onions - disgusting and so unsophisticated.... they made a sauce full of cream. I cant have dairy either. Such a disaster.

Excellent quality Chinese Restaurant downstairs at the Star Casino. Lots of fresh seafood options and they do the basics well. Not cheap but quality is good. Gets very busy on weekends in particular so it pays to jump online to secure a booking.

Well let’s see 1st up we where put on a 4 seater table there was only 2 of us, and the other people next to us where a group of 4 which they sat on a 2 seater table. 2nd after we ordered our meal the waitress set out the table and chipping the bowls before serving the meals, when the meals came out we had to wait for the rice which came 5 minutes after the meals came out. When we had to pY we felt pressured in giving a tip with the waitress hovering over us. The next day I woke up with a massive headache and dioreha Not happy.

The food there was less quality and quantity than what we usually get at this restaurant, A rather disappointing dinner experience for our oversea visitors. The Century needs to improve on the quality of food and also serving sizes to be more consistent. Thank you.

very good food, however, they did bring the wrong dish and it took three waiters in succession​ before one could establish it was the wrong dish!

Overrated average Chinese restaurant, got seated next to clearing room with the constant clanging of plates and cutlery. Steamed dim sims were inedible, crispy skin chicken was mainly bones with no enough meat. Bill was $200 for two, mich better Chinese restaurants in the suburbs!
