Toi Shan Bendigo, Bendigo (Chinese Cuisine) - Order online from our menu

"This place looks dark and dingy but the awards all over the front door tell a different story. The food is very tasty and presented at a minimal wait time. The prices are pretty good and the staff are friendly, not much to complain about here, though the restaurant looks a little outdated. One of the better Chinese restaurants in Bendigo

"Great country town Chinese food cobbas. Honey chicken, sweet and sour pork and Mongolian steak all bonza. Ripper of a prawn cracker as well.

"Not to happy with quality of food, very rubbery and flavourless and dry! definitely not worth the 70$ i paid , but i did get free prawn crackers so that was nice

"This review is in two parts. 1: Food (1 star) 2: Covid-19 responsibility 1. The food. This meal was one of the worst I've had anywhere. I'm pretty sure the chicken in my noodle dish was not chicken (if you use tofu-chicken: say so on the menu. I pushed it aside because I didn't want to eat food I don't recognise). The dish was greasy and left me with a coating of oil on my mouth I wasn't able to wash away for several hours. 2. Covid-19 This is the first weekend restaurants have re-opened after the Pandemic shutdown. This was the only place I visited which did not ask to sanitize hands as I arrived (there wasn't even any available). The did not ask me to record my name and phone number to aid contact tracing (a legal requirement). They did not wipe down the tables fully ie. edge to edge and they did not use disinfectant spray; only a wet cloth. The menus had not been cleaned between customers - mine still had fresh food smears from a previous customer. And when the waitress placed cutlery and glasses she reached acoss me inches from my face, putting both of us at risk. Also, there were 16 people in the back room which felt like way too many. It felt crowded, which did not feel safe.

"Love this place. Every meal I've had here has been brilliant. I particularly loved the hokkien noodle dish.
