Great Century Restaurant

This restaurant is above board. Authentic Chinese food that can not be found anywhere else. The sweet and sour pork was to die for, haven't had anything nicer. The Peking duck was very nice. Overall this restaurant knows how to make Chinese food and I think a lot of other Chinese places need to take lessons from this one.

Nice dishes and reasonable price.

We went for yum cha over the weekend and the food was average but expensive (normal dim sims were considered "special items" and seemed smaller). Little variety, slow service and dull ambience. Very disappointing.

Over charged having to dispute the charges, embarrassing moments with their service, won't come again. Our bill came to $170.00 been charged 26 items when is should of been 16 items on the menu. They gave us dumling to substitute their dishonesty. Very poor service. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Delicious fresh fragrant seafood delicately dribbling down my oesophagus 🤤 friendly staff and all food served classic chinese style with invigorating ingredients

The food selection is not varied and the price is pretty high. The staff is friendly but they are in middle age and slow. When the restaurant is occupied with many customers, the waiting time is immense.

Great place to have a weekend out with friends and get served some hot plates 😁.

Yum Cha and the food is great here always enjoy sssoo good

The ambiance is little dull, however the food is very good

So I went to Great Century on the weekend and I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this place. I liked that they had Karaoke upstairs, although really expensive, I liked the decor, song selection and rooms. The restaurant itself was nice, but not in a "nice fine dining" sort of way, it reminded me of something out of the 80's that was distinctly Chinese with a western influence - some people might not like this style, but I enjoyed it. The chairs and tables were a little awkward, and the sitting arrangements were a bit jagged and strange. The waiters were really forward, a little too much so, I felt slightly uncomfortable - they literally charged us down like a rugby team! It felt chaotic and awkward, unbefitting to the venue and restaurant. Instead of making us feel welcome and at ease, showing us the menu and prices, they pushed us to order and explained things very poorly. This made us feel a little stressed out and confused! The food was decent but not great, basically no menu, but authentic Chinese food made in the right way. Was it the best Chinese food I've had? No, but it was okay. I didn't really like the chili sauce I thought it was terrible, but the dumplings were decent and the speed of delivery was fast. The teapot they gave us was awful, we kept spilling tea on the table and I felt really bad, and there was no filter for the tea, so the tea leaves and bits ended up in our cups. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, I liked the Chinese movies playing in the background, It really felt like a Chinese restaurant experience in Australia, quite unusual but interesting. They were also really nice to let us stay beyond the closing time to finish our food, I have to give them credit for that. Overall they need to adjust their prices and the Karaoke upstairs needs to be cheaper - they seem too expensive for the area! At the end of the day there is a lot of competition nearby, competition that serves better quality food and is less chaotic, but despite that I would probably frequent here again, at least to see if anything has changed!
