Nothing beats this restaurant. They have a dish on their menu that not many Chinese restaurants have - Beef Brisket & my favourite. It was so tender & smashingly delicious. I ordered it as a standalone dish & separate rice. They were generous with the lettuce provided underneath the piping hot beef large cut. It went so well with the rice which was cooked perfectly - dry, soft, hot & fragrant.

Approximate cost: $13

Our favorite restaurant at Kensington was closed. What a disappointment. But it was late & we were hungry so we drove further down & found Kingsford Chinese Restaurant. It was crowded & we waited for a while before being shown to a table. The setting & service were pretty similar to our favorite restaurant and we were immediately put at ease. We ordered Shangdong Chicken, Salt & Pepper Squid and Hotplate Tofu. Everything was delicious, in particular the squid. It was tasty, crispy on the outside, soft & firm on the inside. The 3 of us almost fought over the last piece of squid. Hot tea was provided. We will return.

Approximate cost: $44

I would give zero star for the service if I can. Their staff are just horrible. They will show you their "don't give a damn care" face all the time. I still remember one time they forgot about my husband fried rice and we kept asking the lady boss about it but she just said "wait ok", at the end the chef didn't even know we are waiting for the fried rice, then she just lightly smiled and said cooking now. Their Sandong chicken is quite nice but the rest are just bad.
Bottom line, if you like something quick , cheap and taste not bad food then you probably can give it a try.

a good place to have a cheap yet nice and big portion meal. Shandong chicken is a must order dish. you will see every table has shandong chicken as this dish is their signature dish and i have to admit it really living up to its name. but the service..hmm..umh..very very bad. horrible service, They don't really care if you have been waiting for very long time for your food, they just keep saying to you to wait and wait. don't expect to receive a nice smile from them.

A solid meal for the UNSW student community living off $5/day, you get what you pay for here - dishes that taste like a$$, service thrown out the window, staff who swear in Cantonese thinking you don't understand, and an environment packed full of students who don't care about the above negatives due to the food being incredibly cheap and the Shandong chicken, which actually tastes okay.

Hmm, I am not sure I would appreciate being sworn at in another language, there is no justification for that kind of behaviour. Thanks for sharing, even though its cheap, I will not be visiting this restaurant.

Although the service is quite bad, and my friend told me that the kitchen is not very clean, I like their fried rice. There are few fried rice that only cost $6.8. Great place to get takeaway when dont wanna cook at home.

Approximate cost: $6.8

The Thai spicy fried rice is quite nice, the salted fish fried rice as well. The price is quite cheap as well. Most fried rice is just $6.80. It is quite hard to get this price nowadays. However, the attitude of the waiter here is very bad. But I still like to get take-away from here.

Approximate cost: $6.80

You don't come here for the non existent service - you come here for great value high quality Chinese food! Our favourite dishes are the fish fillets with corn sauce and the beef noodles with xo sauce. Definitely one of the better restaurants along Anzac Parade.

Approximate cost: $10

Back in uni days, this good value chinse restaurant was always worth to visit. Being a uni student with limited budget, the big serving is a must. Famous for its salt and pepper calamari and snake beans with minced pork.

Approximate cost: $10-15
