Marina Crest Chinese Restaurant
Dinner was great. Arrived just after 6pm, we had three adults, one young child and one baby in the pram. They said pick whichever table we preferred. The waitress could answer any question about items on the menu and was very helpful. They were great about making sure nothing too hot (such as tea) or breakable was in front of the child. They brought him a kids spoon for his food. The food itself was really tasty. The entrees came out one at a time, with a bit of a gap in between which wasn't ideal but the entrees were lovely and hot, so the pause between the entrees being served was good to allow it to cool down. We weren't sure what size fried rice to get for all of us, so the waitress suggested the small. She said if it's not enough, they can make a bit more and get the large. The small was definitely enough. The mains were all nice and hot as well and again, brought out when they were made instead of getting it cooler waiting until all the meals were ready. We got containers to take home what we couldn't finish. There was quite a lot cause it was really filling.They were prompt at taking plates away and didn't hover, which made it a very pleasant night.They had a long stream of people taking away, so obviously a very popular place.I will definitely be eating here/from here more often.

The food was very yuk. Coconut curry with scallops that were not fresh at all. Tea that came in a dirty teapot. Water glasses that were poorly rinsed and had a sour taste on the rim. Chicken chow mein that was very sloppy and slimy. Fairy lights flashing outside on the balcony are not suited if you have light sensitivity issues or epilepsy. The 4 waitresses were all high school kids and only one of them was acting professionally. Way too expensive for the quality. I do not recommend. Also the location is wrong, thus place is just off the Esplanade next to groundhog.

Very disappointed with the lack of food hygiene and customer servive at this restaurant. BEWARE of flies or small cockroaches in your food. We ordered a large takeaway meal and unfortunately for me I had the EXTRA floating in my soup. After phoning to advise the restaurant we had no phone call back and no refund for the dish that was contaminated. They obviously don't care, and we will be avoiding this establishment for ever more.

The food was very poor quality, I’ve lived in manly for a year now and trying all Asian cuisine as it’s my favourite. By far the worst I have tasted and by worst in SE qld. What a shame!! Mongolian Lamb - not one bit of sherry taste with old veggies and our rice was dark brown in colour (not sure who old the rice was). Positive, the honey chicken passed. We ordered 3 dishes and the rice!! Very disappointed experience.

After reading all of the negative reviews, I was pretty sceptical trying Marina Crest. I fancied some Chinese food however, and it was the only place open for delivery on Sunday night so I decided to give it a go. Arrived on time and hot. Food was lovely. Not the worst and not the best, but definitely not worthy of the previous reviews. I’ve heard rumours there are new owners so perhaps they’ve turned a corner.

The staff were so accommodating during this lockdown- they were more than happy to deliver the takeaway down to the car park so we didn’t have to climb up the narrow stairs. The Duck is always very generous and the combination fried rice is superb. Definitely give them a call and get a great Chinese takeout today!

Very good service. Long established restaurant in a perfect location in Manly Village. I have enjoyed several Chinese meals here. Family friendly.

I haven't been to this restaurant in a while but I always use to love their Peking Shredded Beef and Chicken Chilli and Basil, so I decided to treat myself. Unfortunately when I arrived home neither meal was what I ordered and the quality of each meal for what they were was not even close to the quality I have come to expect. Things have obviously changed here and I will obviously change where I get my Chinese.

Terrible. Firstly they managed to switch our order with someone else(this happened again whilst we were waiting to collect our replacement), so we got home from collection and realised we had the wrong food. After calling the restaurant they arranged to redo our order for us to collect. This took a further 45 minutes, meaning our total wait time from initial order was an hour and 20 minutes. When we finally got our order and began to eat it we were completely disappointed. We’ve never had a Chinese meal with such little flavour. The ‘chow mein’ we ordered tasted like packed chicken noodles, the chicken dishes were slimy and the Mongolian lamb had no flavour. We left most of the food as it was inedible. Glad we got a discount on this order as there was no way it was worth even whatwe paid. So disappointed.The staff were rude, unorganised and clueless. There were about 6 other customers waiting for an order and all had been waiting over 30mins after their collection time.
