Old street Hunan restaurant Box Hill

Taste pretty good

The food is pretty good and the environment is clean and quiet. During the weekend, it is very busy but the service is still pretty good. Will recommend this restaurant, as it is quite authentic, and the food is also yummy.

From the warm welcome to the last bite, our experience was flawless. We started with the rice noodle which were delicate and bursting with rich broth. For the main, the fried pork and beef was a revelation.The portion sizes are generous and the staff is incredibly attentive. We left already planning our next meal here. This is now our go-to spot for an exceptional and consistent Chinese food experience.

Nestled in a cozy corner, this chill restaurant offers a relaxed vibe perfect for unwinding. The menu features delectable squid dishes, expertly prepared with bold flavors and fresh ingredients. Each bite melts in your mouth, making it a must-visit spot for seafood lovers seeking a memorable dining experience.

These dishes transported us straight back to our hometown, Changsha. Every bite captured the true essence of Xiang cuisine, rich in flavor and tradition. I especially loved the stinky tofu — perfectly crisp on the outside and irresistibly fragrant. The stir-fried pork with chili, sweet rice cakes glazed in sugar syrup, tender stir-fried pork kidneys, garlic sprouts tossed with dried tofu, and the delicate black fish fillet with seasonal vegetables — each dish was bursting with authentic taste and warmth.”

If you love authentic spicy Chinese food, Lao Jie is a must-visit! The flavours are bold, fresh, and full of heat — just the way Sichuan food should be. Every dish is packed with generous portions and high-quality ingredients. The service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere feels like a lively street food corner back in China. Highly recommend the spicy chicken it’s addictive! Perfect spot for anyone craving real, fiery flavours.
