Nan Yuan

Went here for the New Year's Eve dinner this time. The food was average and there was nothing amazing about it, but it had a festive atmosphere. The restaurant also specially invited dragon and lion dancers to perform, which brought the dining atmosphere to its highest point.

The food display is impressive and celebratory, but it comes with a higher price and the quality doesn't quite match up proportionately. Still a good food experience here.

Went to the restaurant for a family dinner. We have been before so we already knew the food was going to be great. We ordered quite a bit of food. Unfortunately there was a bit of confusion and some of the dishes were forgotten. Meaning we had to wait quite a while to get all of our dishes served. Regardless the owners came out and apologised, offered us a discount and a few drinks on the house.

Not many businesses offer this kind of service after making a tiny mistake. It was so incredibly kind of them to do. I would highly recommend giving them a go.

Great people and great food!

Had a Banquet for my partners sons 21st. Food was plentiful. Staff were very accomadating would highly recomend. Good service.

Lunch on a Saturday. Quite a few tables when we arrived. Only one staff member visible. He did a fabulous job of seating people, taking orders, answering the phone and serving food with a smile and pleasant interactions. Tables weren't cleared as quick but with one person that's to be expected. Food was incredible. We had Peking duck, crispy, not fatty, and then the fried rice option which was amazing. Great flavour, not oily or soggy. Stir fried veg, crispy and with lovely garlic flavour. And the best spring rolls we've had in years. Can't wait to go back!

Thoroughly impressed after our first visit. BWent tonight without a reservation, turned out to be a very busy night and we had a gig to go to. The host was brilliantly accommodating in getting us in and out super fast but the quality did not dim one bit. Best hot and sour seafood soup I’ve had and the soft shell crab was incredible. Looking forward to returning soon and taking more time to pore over the huge menu!

This is the second time that I have come here. We had a family dinner at Nan Yuan and the food was fantastic.

James is very good. He’s very attentive and accommodated to our dietary requirement.

Thank you James for your good customer service!

3/5

CNY dinner

The food wasn’t bad however it wasn’t exceptional, especially for the price tag of $988. The atmosphere was good, however for the service you would expect something better eg not needing the guest to transfer the soup into bowls, and deboning the fish themselves. All these little things add up to he experience and I think in the end of the day this is what made the difference between a 3 and 4 star experience.

Went here for CNY dinner and pre-ordered dishes. Also had to put a $100 non refundable deposit.

The Peking duck skin was crispy and nice and fatty. The pancakes were a bit dry on edges because it had probably been sitting out for a while. 7/10
Duck fried rice was nice.

Taro duck was ok but a bit oily and bland. 6/10

I ordered steamed fish with soy and ginger but I’ve never seen this as a stirfry with veggies. It was ok.

Golden kimchi is nice and different, and chicken jellyfish were nice as starters.

The best dish of the night was salted egg prawn! Very crispy, not too salty it was delicious. 9/10

Service wise, they are quite friendly when spoken to, but at times we were left alone trying to look for attention whilst they were clearing tables (and was not too busy).

Overall, it’s an ok Chinese restaurant if you live local to the area. Not much I would go out of my way for again.

A Chinese restaurant filled with mostly Chinese people is always a good sign in my book. Pretty white-man kind of food, but good nevertheless. It'll make you happy.

Great food. Good size serves. It's not cheap but it is good. There were about 80 customers on a Monday night! You can take home what you cant eat!

We also had high hopes for this place but was quite disappointed with the food. The beef was so dry and overcooked, and the Thai spicy fried chicken was too sweet and dip in the sauce. Salty yolk prawn was in decent size but taste oily. Golden kimchi was full of garlic flavor. Jellyfish had too much pepper. Overall, all meal we ordered today were unbalanced and not good tasting.
Maybe the Peking duck and the pork belly bun will be better?
Oh by the way, the meal served like we were in a takeaway shop

Delicious food and exceptional customer service. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Thank you to the lovely gentleman for assisting me with the birthday cake today, your service was beyond amazing! Highly recommended!

Peking duck is sooooo good. The sauce and crispy skin are way too yum, and it’s the best in Adelaide. The manager recommended us 5 spice squid and seafood tofu which are amazing. Fried rice just average level. But the rest we had are soooo good. Worth to try them!

Decent food depending on what you order. Good variety of dishes. Very good chicken soup!
A bit pricey.

Edit June 2022:
Used to be a fan of their food. They have changed their menu a bit and changed the way of cooking for some of my fav dishes as well as increased the prices. Unfortunately, I do not enjoy their food now.

Food is yummy, tasty. Friendly attentive staff. Looking forward to dine in, in future.

Great place to have meal with friends. Sorry no 5 stars for my Taiwanese picky tongue. Taste is still good but not my type.

We ordered 4 dishes, took 2 hours got the last dish. The duck too less and got a green worm on it. The chicken wasn't cook well, it is raw!

Today I ordered duck same as many times. But the duck is really less and less pancakes. We asked is this a whole course or half. They bring the duck bone which got lots of meat left and didnt cut off properly, normally you can bring the bone with you, but they won't allow us to bring bone with us. Because the reason is the bone may goes into the bin. Food over cooked, and this eggplant normally got a mushroom in the dish as well. Taste very different from what we always have. Never ganna come back any more.

Love this place! Been back twice now and very happy with both times. We don't live nearby but every time we're on that side of town at mealtime, we will be heading there. Great assortment of high quality dishes.
