Mr Charcoal - Albany

We didn't get the table we booked, and they missed our order20 mins? until we asked them why is it so late, but the food was yummy. THEIR FOOD IS GOOD.

About three years ago I stayed in a nearby hotel. Feeling hungry I went to Mr Charcoal for dinner not realising that the restaurant catered for mainly Chinese patrons. The menu was all in Chinese, so I did what I normally do when travelling overseas, I let the server decide what I’m going to eat.nnThe food was absolutely delicious. So I took a photo of each dish and each time I visit I show the photos to the server and there’s no confusion.nnIf you like delicious Chinese food Mr Charcoal is the place to go.

Perfect spot for group gathering to nibble and drink. Various dishes to choose from chicken, pork, beef, lamb, squid, noddles, rice…, we went on a weekday but it’s quite busy, better make a reservation if you plan a weekend visit.

Looking for other places to eat at 8 in the evening in Albany, we found this place full to the pack. Good thing, a table was available. Noisy but ambiance was upbeat and crowd of almost yuppies. Service was fast and came in no time. Food was delish so as the price. Would recommend the place to friends.

I recently tried the skewers and sweet and sour pork and I must say I was quite disappointed with the overall taste and quality. The skewers were served cold, which significantly affected the enjoyment of the meal. The sweet and sour fried pork was especially underwhelming; the pork slices were extremely thin, almost resembling fried paper. The lack of thickness and texture really detracted from the experience.nnI had high expectations for the flavors, but unfortunately, they were quite average and failed to leave a lasting impression. I was hoping for a more satisfying meal, but it fell short of my expectations.nnIt’s essential for restaurants to maintain consistency in taste, temperature, and portion sizes, and I feel that this particular visit did not meet those standards. I hope that the management takes this feedback constructively and makes the necessary improvements to enhance the dining experience for future customers.
