After what I experienced a few weeks ago at this shop, I definitely would never recommend this place to anyone who wants a decent overall service. What you get is what you pay for. There's absolutely nothing positive about the shop's service. They have a few tables outside the shop and they are mostly dirty and full of grease. It looks as if they have not been cleaned or wiped for ages. Seriously, if I am to dine there, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I would just change my mind and leave. There are birds feces or poops everywhere on every tables. They looked like they had been there for a long time. But nobody seems to bother to clean the tables so that customers can sit down and enjoy their meals. Totally unacceptable.
If you are not too fussy about the quality of the food and hygiene, you can certainly have it there. Just don't expect friendly customer service and certainly don't expect too much from them in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.
[redacted generalisations] There are other Chinese restaurants very close by around Eastwood that offer much better quality and services overall.

*The name of this eatery is K & J Chinese Takeaway.

This is one of my Sydney haunts (which I frequented up to 2011) that I miss terribly, a popular takeaway at a busy Eastwood street corner with efficient service and good value food.

They have so many dishes that I always had enormous trouble deciding what to order. I like their chicken ginger shallots with rice, the braised beef with flat rice noodles, the country style noodles (Chinese version of Singapore noodles), poong gong noodles, Fukkien style fried rice and Zhe Chuan stir fried chicken/capsicums with rice. I also tried the salt and pepper pork chop with rice which I'd heard was very popular. I got a surprised look from the staff when I first ordered it, presumably due to me being non-Asian. It was a little heavy on the garlic but I quite enjoyed it.

The most memorable dish that my partner and I have had here has got to be the bitter melon. After ordering the same choices week after week we got adventurous, went out on a limb and tried the bitter melon options, never having eating Asian style bitter melon before. They do beef and bitter melon with black bean sauce, and also have fish (fried or braised) with bitter melon. These dishes are served with rice. We preferred the beef-bitter melon combination but the braised fish is good too. The first couple of times we ordered this the staff were like, “Are you sure, it is bitter,” and we were like, yeah! It may be an acquired taste but if you're looking for something different from the usual Chinese takeaway, you might like this.

Our other standout dish was the seafood fried noodle. In the menu this is actually the thin egg noodles however I prefer wheat-free dishes and asked for rice noodles instead. I was surprised to find out how delicious it was. We've tried both versions of this dish and we preferred the rice noodle option by far.

There are a few tables on the street corner but this really is a takeaway. They don't have any tables inside. Open every day from 11 am to midnight except Sunday when they close at 7 pm.

Approximate cost: $9-$13 for most dishes

An interesting review- you've convinced me to try the bitter melon and beef combo too! :)

Hope you like it as much as we did! The melon is bitter but not as bitter as bittergourd. Now that really is hard to eat.

They usually offer quite large size of meals with reasonable prices. The quality are ok and we are happy with the size of the food.
