We had a banquet which was average. The service was slow and the place needed a good clean. The atmosphere was good and it was very busy but for me the food was not good enough to make me want to go back.

We wanted to try different restaurants. Da Hu appealed to us because it was different from the usual Cantonese restaurants. This place specialised in Peking, Shanghai and Szechuan style cuisine.We ordered half a Peking duck, squid in salt and pepper, chicken with Szechuan chilli sauce and seasonal chinese vegetables in oyster sauce. service was prompt and quick. Food was good... More

Talk about turning over tables, we were only half way through out Peking Duck entree when our mains arrived, we stated that we weren't ready but the waiter insisted on putting the plates down even though there wasn't room. The duck was actually quite tough. The Szechuan sauce was too sweet and quite unpleasant. Won't be back!

Our last visit was a major disappointment as the quality of service was non-existent and the food a mixed bag. Our waitresses seamed distracted for the entire night and we got sick of having to ask for drink service every 10 minutes for a group of 9. The food was indifferent. The Peking Duck was nice, the Szechuan chilli prawns... More

It’s been almost 12 months since our last visit and the quality and quantity has not changed. We had the Duck Banquet again as its still great value for money. A whole peking duck between 2, Duck san choi bow, duck soup and a choice of duck fried rice or duck noodle stir fry. Everything was delicious, and the leftovers... More

Have just read some of the recent reviews and I would have to say it almost seems as though we are talking about different restaurants - foodwise. Sure, the decor could do with a freshen up, and the staff seemed a little distracted, however, the food was great! Peking Duck was delicious and on the night we visited it seemed... More

Can't believe people think this is good Peking duck! The rest of the meal was equally awful. Nothing fresh or MSG free it seems. Unbelievably awful. Couldn't eat it.

Certainly popular, especially wth Chinese clientele. Did notice the "worn grubby carpet" on entering and climbing the stairs. We were introduced to this restuarant by family members who live in melbourne and have been a few times before. Certainly should take notice when the wait staff mention a dish is "very" spicey...because the chili beef was really hot. The rest... More
