[Review] Jockey's Wok'n'Roll

When I first heard the name of this restaurant it didn't inspire me with much confidence. Despite the funny name, it is pretty decent Chinese food. I've been here for yum cha and also for dinner. The yum cha selection is pretty limited - at least they have the staples; har gow, siew mai, char siew bao etc. Sometimes the steamed dishes are only luke warm though.

When I went for dinner the other night we went with the 'lobster special'. Basically we got to choose 2 dishes from the menu and receive a 'complementary' lobster dish. We ended up choosing salt and pepper squid & roast duck. The lobster was done with ginger & spring onions. All the servings were pretty large and at the end we were all pretty stuffed.

Service 2.5/5
The service is ok. Nothing special, sometimes their a bit slow.

Food 3/5
Pretty good food. Yum cha is ok and the dinner dishes are well cooked.

Value 4/5
This place is good value for money. Yum cha typically costs just under $10 and the lobster dinner special set us back $20pp including bubble teas.

Overall 3.5/5
The yum chas isn't anything to write home about and the dinner is good value. However this place is the best chinese that I've had out here in the 'burbs. It's a bit of a compromise to driving to Chinatown. Recommended.
