Iron Chef Chinese Seafood Restaurant

This restaurant may be well known but it’s overrated and expensive. It tends to attract customers who are after «better service» but the quality of food isn’t as good as other places you can easily find in the area.

Solid authentic Chinese food in a competitive area. I’ve been here for a la carte dining as well as yum cha (most recently) and they deliver. The yum cha selection is of the standard in Cabramatta with the occasional surprise. Honestly though, that’s a good thing. In an area with a lot of similar restaurants it’s always a good test to see if they can deliver the classic dishes well. Iron Chef succeeds in that regard. I particularly enjoyed the har cheung, siu mai and duck pancake on my latest visit. Ham sui gok was a new one for me, but I appreciated the differences in texture.
The dining area is spacious, which comes in handy when dealing with the massive throng of patrons and staff. Their bar appears quite well stocked too. It’s also somewhat of a luxury that they have parking nearby and are open relatively late. Always good to know that there’s somewhere to get good food when most other establishments in Cabramatta are at slumber. I hope to return soon, either for yum cha or to sample more of their a la carte menu.

TERRIBLE!
This place is the worst.
Bad service, bad food, and its also expensive!
Normally at chinese restaraunts, pecking duck is nicely wrapped for you, but they cut it and made ud do it ourselves.
We heard a staff talk negatively about customers on the other table and they were also very angry and impolite.
Never going here again, and i would never recommend the place to anyone.

Fantastic dim sum, I’m now spoiled forever. Everything was nice and fresh, the shrimp dumpling especially stood out — so garlicky and amazing.

I’ve been there 3 times during the past 6 years and found the Yum Cha to be ok on those occasions.
Food was fine and service was good even with the Asians English being horsed.
The only problem was the parking as it was hard to locate a spot and was very packed in the back of the restaurant.
Haven’t been back there since December 2013 and not sure if I’d go back there again as I found a better Asian restaurant in the City that has the best Yum Cha.

Service is crap (parla ingles?), dishes were dirty and the food is mediocre at best not to mention expensive. Don’t come here. The smaller restaurants in the area are much nicer with prices a fraction of this place.

This is a local institution and I’m not quite sure why and yet I return quite often. It is located inside the old Stardust hotel and the entrance to the restaurent is next to the TAB area. The dining area is quite cavenous and quite nice. The service is decent and they speak a variety of Asian languages.
The daytime yumcha is of average standard but is up there for Cabramatta but there are better options across Sydney. All the main dishes are represented but the variety isn’t that great. The food is generally piping hot due to the big crowds.
Dinner service is of good quality and the resultant bill can be of very high end places. They do seafood very well and have some pretty good specials.
There is a little dodgy parking lot belonging to the restaurent behind the place that can be accessed along an adjacent laneway. There is also parking around the surrounding streets.

Went there for a celebration
We ordered lobster 2 kg
It was definitely not 2 kg I would not go back there for eating. Find a better place!

Food is ok, rude service, food carts don’t come around too often and when they do all the food is gone

Long queue on weekends, but worth the wait! This Yum Cha place is popular. I have not found a single dish that disappoints me.

If you live in Western Sydney, this place is your local yum cha. Its reputation even extends towards the rest of Sydney and many come to sample one of Sydney’s best yum cha restaurants as evidenced by the huge lines on weekend mornings, with waits of up to 1hr! But once you’re in, the food shows why people wait. Considering the frenzy and the quality of the food, the name of the place is quite fitting!
All the usual yum cha fare: sui mai, char siew bao, bak fan yu (fried whiting), ha cheung fun (prawn steamed noodle), gao gee (steamed dumplings), ha gao (prawn dumplings) are delicious. There is nothing more comforting than a weekend yum cha visit, and Iron Chef is a great option in western Sydney.
The only drawback about the place is the lengthy wait sometimes and the parking situation. Even though there is an adjoining carpark it gets full really quickly and even finding street parking is a challenge, so get here early!

Went to this restaurant for lunch since we were in the area. The food was surprisingly good, actually quite impressive. Serving was generous too. Staff was attentive. And the best of all, the price is very reasonable compared to other Chinese restaurant in the city. Maybe that explains it given the location, it’s further away from the city center.
