Mr Lei

We have a bizarre relationship with China. Racism covers like a cheap suit in a downpour. And Chinese restaurants have had to Panda (yes, I did that) to our narrow view of Chinese food. But we are all grown up. And so is mascot. Once a wasteland of derelict buildings"

Had crispy pork noodles and roasted duck rice set for dinner and they didn’t disappoint. The price was decent given that the portion was quite huge. You get to have discount if you pay with cash.

I am in love with their congee. It is well flavored yet not overly seasoned and the rice is soft and creamy. It is such a hearty meal.For the rice set, the chicken is quite salty but the pickles kinda balances it out.The Hong Kong crème brûlée is amazing. It doesn’t really taste similar to the classic Hong Kong Milk Pudding, but I really like their version!

It was a dish cooked with no sincerity and no skills at all. They basically whip up the sauce and pour it over the rice noodles. They were hard, clumpy, tasteless and most of all under cooked. They were very understaffed and foods took pretty long to arrive. Will highly not recommend this place or especially this dish - beef hor fun.

Mr Lei - Literally a hidden findWith the construction and revamp of Mascot’s train station we have been introduce to the walls of Mascot. Although certain parts are unpleasant with the constructions, it’s always good to find your way through to Mr Lei restaurant for your local Cantonese BBQ/Roast meats and cuisine!Highlight:The Signature Black Cha Siu! I will go into detail a bit later but this is a must have! That being said, it is also one of the better Cantonese restaurants within the neighbourhood (Eastern Suburb surrounding area) and it has a clean and up to date aesthetics that not many have.Review:BBQ Combination Four - $49.90Recommend. A selection of Crispy Pork, Soya Chicken, Roast Duck and their Signature Black Char Siew. Each was done pretty well and the condiments including their plum sauce is bloody addictive! However as mentioned hands down the Black Char Siew had stole the scene and won its way to my belly. It’s different than your regular Char Siew as it uses a Pork Belly piece rather than the shoulder, so you get those layers of meat then fat then meat and then that juicy sweet and soy flavoured skin *Chefs kiss* I feel like I am definitely hyping this up but it just is a different experience, which I go back after again and again!Stewed Beef Brisket with Chu Hou Sauce - $28.90Recommend. For those Beef Brisket lovers this is a go to, and even if not a whole dish but with Dry or Soup Noodles you with enjoy it. You can taste the quality of the brisket as it’s not over cooked and just right. The Chu Hou sauce (spiced soy bean paste) is not overwhelming that it mask the beef rather blend quite well together. There is also some radish.. which I completely forgot about.. ^-^;Supreme Broth Braised Tofu with Mixed Mushroom - $25.90Recommend.. on a good day. I really do enjoy this dish however it can be a hit or a miss when it comes to sauce. Some days it’s well balanced and other days it can be a bit watery so I believe the day I went was a miss. The dish is made with a soy based broth that covers the lightly fried tofu and the medley of mushrooms (King Oyster and Shitaki), it’s amazing when done right!—Will return! - TESTEDbypanda

Best options the Cha Sui set. It comes with broth, Chinese broccoli, ample rice and tasty Cha Sui. Most mains are priced for sharing. Quite authentic flavours. Could offer smaller side dishes.

It feels like this shop has changed hands. Food is still reasonably ok, but the front counter staff are so unpleasant to deal with and i was clearly bothering them for ordering food there. Shame

Food is alright but waiting time is way too long.I ordered their signature set food but waited 20 mins. All food are pre made but I think waiters just forgot my order.Portion is way too little for the whopping $29 price tag. I think it’s the most expensive Cantonese bbq shop in Sydney.Overall 2 stars dinning experience. Won’t come back again for sure:)

The black chashu was fatty and soft, and it was really delicious. Got it with the egg noodles which provided a good balance of heavy and light/simple dishes.Price is a little on the high end at $21, but well worth it.
