Mr Lim - Orange

Mr Lim's was recommended to us by a local and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Booking is advisable on Fridays and Saturdays. We could sit at the bar, which is not as bad as it sounds. Decor is stylish and service was friendly. We took the 'let Jacky feed you for $55' option. It is not cheap, but the dishes were beautifully presented and well prepared. A giant oyster, dim sums, drunken duck, Korean chicken, roasted pork and shredded beef. All up a nice selection and filling enough. We tend to prefer tea with most Asian food and their tea is absolutely top quality, as well as beautifully presented in special Korean tea cups.A very nice evening out, enhanced by a Mr Lim himself who chats with the guests.

Dinner at Mr Lim last night with our family was a great time! Food top class - dumplings, Pork Sang Chow Bow Sammy style the best! Korean chicken, steak, fried rice - all excellent. Great choice of local wines to choose from to accompany the meal. Service was prompt - only feedback we'd give is the dishes could have come out a little slower between courses to be able to enjoy each one before the next. Then the karaoke! This was something we didn't expect but what great fun! Sammy has the personality (& a great voice) to get you involved & not feel self-conscious. We had a blast & was the last thing we expected to finish the night. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Book & go eat some of the best Asian food around (better than big city restaurants offering the same - trust us!)

The restaurant is well fitted out, nicely finished, it is just a pity that they can't keep the back door closed and stop the cold Orange air coming in.The restaurant was only 20% full when we arrived and the staff were all standing around the bar area, when we finally got their attention to place a drinks order (2 beers, soft drink and a bottle of Chardonnay) it took a full 20 minutes for drinks to arrive in dribs and drabs, and then the wine was warm, placed on the table with the top left on. My expectation would be that the wine was cold, and if you are paying $50 - a staff member would remove the top and poor wine for the guests... when we again got the staff's attention the warm wine was replaced and again plonked on the table.Overall the Food was ok. Pork bun flavoursome, San Choi Bau - good however short one pancake ( we were six, the menu said six and we were delivered five....) we asked for one more and it was delivered and also charged to the bill!! kingfish sashimi was ok - a bit bland, steak with vegetables - steak was beautiful, vegetables a bit under cooked.the restaurant took two sittings - 6 to 8pm and then 8 onwards - the first sitting was full and it was clearly more than they could handle and the staff were trained for. A pity - the place has promise and their sister restaurant Mr Sushi King across the road is a great success

Mr. Lim runs a flawless service. The food was divine, every dish was prepared and served with care and look impeccable. The restaurant decor was stunning and wouldn't be out of place in Sydney's restaurant scene. The wine menu was extensive and featured a number of local wines. The service was kind and attentive without over crowding. We were out celebrating a birthday and there was another birthday party at a larger table. Before we knew it, Karaoke came out of nowhere and everyone who was relaxed enough to let their hair down and have a go thoroughly enjoyed it. I would happily recommend and visit again.

Mr Lim's is a great place for dinner - the food is utterly delicious and, with its emphasis on native ingredients and sustainability, also highly creative. The decor is funky, the staff are friendly and responsive, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough, even in Orange, where visitors are spoilt for choice for good places to eat. Sammy is funny and entertaining, and has time for a chat, even when busy. Try the housemade pomegranate and rhubarb ice cream - delicious!
