Ants Bistro

Absolutely love this place, best dumplings going around! Makes for a great start to the night.

Second time visting, had to come back for the dumplings! It does get a bit hectic and busy, but so worth it!

The food was as great as I remember (10ish years ago).

Actually took my girlfriend here with me! Its a busy place but the food is really good, try the dumplings! just be prepared to wait a little while for service and to be seated!

Absolutely disastrous the moment arrived without any staff greeting us to direct the reserved table. The vacant table was pointed out for us, awkwardly stood by the table waiting for staff to set up. Food items on the menu are no longer served without crossing out, of which were once my favourite. Waiting time for food to come out was longer than the Great Wall, not only that but 2 items on the order didn't even make its appearance on our table, we weren't informed by the staff at all. Lastly, bill was presented to us with the total amount of all items ordered, including those weren't delivered. The cashier acted surprised and reduced the unavailable items on the total. On a cold winter day, main door was left open for chill wind coming through was another highlight of my disappointment with the restaurant.

Great food and service. The atmosphere is pretty basic but the food more than makes up for it.

The most authentic place for CHinese food in CHina town.

had a family gathering at the place. the food was amaxing value.

What a great experience having my bday party held here. Food was great and the service was so attentive! Loved it!

The food is always delicious and the welcome always friendly.

Great food in a comfortable space. Try the cocktails! Yum

Visited Sunday 19 January. Service was way below its usual standard. Possibly because there was no supervision.

Excellent service by friendly staff and Tasty food. No long waits. Online booking is easy with great loyalty points

Great food, great price and great service would highly recommend

Great food at reasonable prices. The only issue is you need to be straightforward in communicating with wait staff, otherwise the message can be lost in translation.

Good service & Great Food! A very enjoyable dinner experience!

Too many items listed on the menu were unavailable when ordered, these included the cold lamb entrée, entrée soy beef and the Peking lamb. I will not be going back with all the other restaurant options available in China town.

Good and well priced food, friendly staff in handy location.

Great customer service - prompt! Very delicious food - great price!

Great place for any type of social gathering. A bit pricey.

Delicious food and excellent service. Been multiple times and ants never disappoints

Service was rubbish. Changed hands never going back there. Young kids running the show. Use to be packed but we were the only 1s in there and people queued up for other restaurants. Action speak louder then words.

A bit quite but the food was good and service efficient. Would recommend..

Booked a table for 10 before matinee show, we were the only ones there on a Sunday at 12.30. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Will be back.

Yummy food and nice service. Will go there again definitely.

Food was amazing as always! Great place to go when craving for some yummy Asian food.

Great service and delicious food. Interior a little dated. Recommended

The food is consistently amazing, good size meals & beautiful flavors.

Excellent Food and service at very reasonable prices. A good place to eat.

We had a great time at Ant’s Bistro. The no frills restaurant is perfect for a laid back, BYO dinner. Would definitely visit again!

Great food and staff coped really well with taking our order for 10 people. The only let down was the final wait on our last two mains as there was a decent gap between them arriving after our rice and other mains. Will happily go back! Good price for our meal too.

Loved the food. Service was good. We are regulars to this restaurant and always enjoy it.

We had a great experience and the food was outstanding.

food great access poor location good forth visit food as good as the first visit

Service was good, food was delicious!!!! Will definitely be back!

Had dinner first time in nearly 10 years. It was still good. Ordered stir fried spinach and young bamboo, but not much spinach and young bamboos were tough.

Great food at reasonable price, and excellent service and hospitality as always.

Great restaurant. The food and service for our party of eight was excellent. We find out together on a regular basis and will certainly be returning to Ants Bistro.

Beautiful food and service. We often go to Ants and are never disappointed. The staff are always helpful and the prices of both food and drinks are very reasonable.

Great food that is not the usual "Chinese" with friendly, attentive sevice. The salt and pepper tofu alone is worth a visit. They will cater for food restrictions.

Four of us had a lovely meal before the theatre. The food was tasty and service quick and friendly. The duck spring rolls were yummy.

Very tasty authentic chinese fare.Good service and well priced. We had BYO and do not think we were charged any corkage for 12 diners. A big Cheers to the restaurant.

Service was poor. Had to wait an hour for food. Restaurant was not busy. Waitress forgot to order one of the main courses. Food average

Average at best. Nothing extraordinary. Friendly staff and atmosphere ok. If you are wanting a unique dining experience or looking to impress, this isn't it. Same Chinese food you would get at your local restaurant.

Staff were friendly and attentive. A new waitress took the order but the senior waitress checked the order. Food and drinks arrived quickly. Black bean beef and chilli prawns were tasty. Although chilli prawns were not very hot.

Great food, excellent service and terrific value for money. What more can you say when it comes to really enjoyable dining experience? Will definitely be back.

Nice a little bit pricey for what it was, but the staff were very nice and the service was fast. Open late midweek which was a real bonus.

The table service and staff were great and the actual restaurant space is welcoming and has a relaxing appeal and with the added BYO aspect, this is somewhere to really consider. The range of food offered is very wide and experience of returning to eat here would perhaps make for some better judgements as to what goes with what. Overall, with one visit here, one might conclude that the approach is to impress by volume on the plate (can be off-putting!) - as against a more modest amount of food and it being of higher quality (eg tenderness of meat).

Food amazing and tasty but service very slow...actually think our mains were forgotten. Waited an hour for mains until we queried where there were then arrived swiftly.

I enjoyed Ants .Very tasty and authentic Chinese Food in a very relaxed enviorment .The servings were quite large .Nice service too .Great place to meet up with friends .
