The Century - Pyrmont

I had to ask the locals about where to eat in China town here in Sydney, and it led me to this restaurant! Everything was fresh, and the service was great!

I won't comment too much on the food (which has consistently been pretty decent) but the SERVICE we experienced on Saturday night was atrocious.

4.5 stars We came here because my dad and the original owner were acquaintances back in Hong Kong.

Mâncare frumoasă și un mediu mare. Am găsit acolo la eticheta CNY, bucătăria trebuie să fie foarte ocupată, deoarece timpul să fie gata să fie gata să fie mai mult decât celălalt restaurant chinezesc. Ne-a plăcut mâncarea, dar este scump să comparați cu alte restaurante chinezești.

So Christmas day and I had originally planned to got to the Golden Century but I need to move the booking a half an hour earlier due to a quick and timely reminder that small human don't do tired well. The Golden Century was booked out so I decided to move it to the Century instead. We arrived a little bit early. That was OK we got seated straight away. The small male human unwrapped a Christmas present at the table. While this was happening I ordered wine, tea and tap water (which was to dilute the tea). The drinks arrived. We all got glass of water. The adults got the tea and wine glasses. My son got annoyed because he didn't get any tea and I was slowly going crazy.   I ordered the steamed dim sim platter for the small male human. He said it was the BEST ever except for the couple he didn't like which were the wontons. This was 100% predictable. The deep fried salt n pepper prawns were awesome. The Beef with black pepper sauce was boring. The gai larn in oyster sauce was OK. We ordered steamed rice and  the waiter served it once but I wasn't sure of the etiquette and I was already embarrassed by some bad manners so I ignored lack of rice. (Basically small male human was wearing sushi chef bandana, board shorts  given by the Japanese side of my ex-husband's family). Over all I was very disappointed in the whole experience but the Century bad is a fair bit better than most bad places. I still prefer chef's Gallery.
