Nihao Kitchen reviews
34Excellent! Clean, spacious and extensive menu. Waiters and waitresses were very very attentive. Always checking on us every five minutes. Food was served pretty quick and tasty. Thumbs up to all working there as we enjoyed ourselves very much. Sufficient carpark behind the restaurant. Well done!
Great food, location. Ample parking around. Price us on the higher side. But worth checking it out.
One of the best place to have a gathering with your family and friends. The food are great, friendly staff with a good service and cozy environment.
Visited NYE 2021 for dinner. Now normally on these occasions, the wait staff and kitchen are all dying to get home and you can sense the lack of care and the general feel like they're trying to shove you out the door. But not here. Nope. Amazing attention to detail and service from all wait staff and the kitchen put out absolutely top notch food. According to family who had been previously, it's of the same standard as always which speaks volumes for the chefs and management. Food was AMAZING.cannot recommend it enough. Ordered 9 dishes. Every single dish was on point and perfect. I'm definitely coming back.
We come to Nihao fairly often.
Food is always delicious and flavoursome.
Staff are very friendly and they always have the masks on.
Restaurant is spacious.
I would strongly recommend to all those who love authentic Chinese (Cantonese) cuisine
Best value and great quality food, rare authentic Cantonese dishes. Love to come here weekly at least.
Had lunch with a few friends here, cashier overcharged our bill. The manager took over and no word of apology, only a sulky look on his face. The miscalculation seems to be deliberate with the guilty look on the cashier's face. Poor customer service, never returning!
Excellent Cantonese fare at reasonable prices. Basically pacific seafood but $20 cheaper pp.loved the beef dish and the crab + noodles are flavoursome. Fish was really nice.
Very good food, very attentive staff
Recommendations: quail, salted egg chicken ribs, honey vinegar pork ribs, white bait, chicken tossed in dry chilli, yuxiang eggplant
Great food, service and pricing from team at Nihao, Jaaan, Casey, Nikki and Mia are fantastic in service. Food quality was fantastic and pricing very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Friendly staff, very kind and polite, and the food was delicious, fresh and not oily. The attentive staff even gave us takeaway boxes for what we couldn’t eat without us asking, which is a great principle against wastage. Will definitely return.
Very friendly service with more than decent food. Felt like I was back home in Malaysia as waiters were mostly Malaysians.
We were also served complimentary banana fritters which brought the meal to an end on a good note. Will return to try the other dishes.
I don't normally give negative reviews however the service was very rude and we spent over 90 per head. There are much better Chinese restaurants out there.
Nihao Kitchen at Kew
Visited on 21/5/2021
I had meals at this address on several occasions when it was under different owners and management, but this is the first time under the name of Nihao.
There are sufficient carparking spaces on the narrow side street, and at the rear of the restaurant, provided the restaurant is not completely full.
The restaurant has undergone substantial renovation especially the first floor. The ceiling of the front portion of the restaurant has several lit up boxes with some Chinese characters, including the famous Hong Kong night-life street named Lan Kwai Fang.
I have a wonderful evening to celebrate the birthday of our friend whom we know for 50 years.
This meal is a treat from the birthday lady, who took the trouble in organising every detail, including the selection of the dishes.
It is a pity while I was taking photos of the first floor, the first course of the dinner, Eight Treasures Duck, arrived and the waiter completely "destroyed" the beauty of the artistic work of the chef by opening up the belly of the duck to expose the eight treasures within, before I had a chance to photograph it.
The duck was meaty, and yet tender, or strictly speaking soft. The gravy complemented the duck well.
I can bet my bottom dollars that there are different cooks cooking tbe Baby Pea Sprouts and the Eggplant E-Noodle. The former dish has hardly any salt, while the noodle is a bit spice hot and very salty.
Steamed Full Range Chicken is correct for the na e of the dish, but it is not quite right to be called and served as 贵妃鸡 or Favourite Concubine Chicken, and charged as so. Concubine chicken has distinct flavour of ginger, orange peel, certain spices, which the dish served by the restaurant lacked. I have to give it a border line pass for the flavour and price charged by the restaurant.
Unfortunately, like many Chinese restaurants, most dishes are poorly presented and garnished. Just take the Sweet and Sour Pork in this instance. Not only the deep fried battered pork pieces are of various sizes, but also topped with a few pieces of chopped onions in the most sloppy manner. The pork pieces were a bit over fried, or the oil required to be filtered.
Overall the food is better than many restaurants.
