Being a Bendigo local you sometimes forget about places that have been around for a while, but so glad we went tonight. As soon as we walked in the door, we were made to feel welcome and promptly seated. The service we had during our dinning was excellent and attentive.
Our food was fresh and very tasty across appetizers and mains. with one of the standouts on the specials board being the 8 Tresure's Duck, so full of flavour and you could tell the effort that the chefs put into the dish.
Overall a great dinner.

Would give 6 stars if we could! Just enjoyed a fabulous meal and outstanding customer service at House of Khong. Can’t recommend them highly enough, we will definitely be back next time we visit Bendigo!

This Chinese restaurant is not authentic (I'm Chinese and can cook Chinese food). Although the decor looks like the kind of Chinese elements that Australians imagine, authentic Chinese restaurants wouldn't look like this. The dishes came out quickly, and the owner was very friendly, but the quality of the food was only average, below average even. We ordered many dishes, and I could only accept about half of them. For example, the Mongolian beef was overly dark and salty because of too much dark soy sauce. The fish portion was very small. The fried rice was greasy and definitely not authentic Chinese fried rice. This experience taught me a lesson: if a menu includes a lot of non-traditional Chinese dishes, it's likely a pseudo-Chinese restaurant, and I should leave immediately. If I lived in Bendigo, I wouldn't go to this restaurant again. Out of courtesy, we told the friendly owner that the food was good, but I am leaving this review in the hope that the owner will consider changing the chef.

Thank you for your candid reply. I appreciate your recognition that the food may not be "authentic" Chinese cuisine, which can’t always meet the expectations of those seeking traditional Chinese flavors. That’s exactly why I shared my review. I’m not trying to demean your restaurant—clearly, no chef or restaurant can please everyone. Your dishes might appeal to many, though they didn’t meet my personal standards for Chinese food, given my 38 years of experience eating it. 😊
Lastly, I wanted to clarify that we finished all the dishes simply out of dining etiquette—we don’t want to waste food, whether at home or in a restaurant.
