Hong Kong Chef Kotara

Netty. Was. Here. It’s been a hot minute since I had Yum Cha! After travelling throughout SE Asia I was a little unsure if I would ever enjoy dumplings western style but this place does deliver! Wasn’t too impressed with the Sui Mai as it could have been worked into a paste more, was a bit chunky for my liking. Otherwise perfect! This whole set up was $83AUD!

I stumbled upon Hong Kong Chef Kotara and it quickly became my go-to spot for Chinese food. The flavors are authentic and mouthwatering. The staff is attentive and goes above and beyond to make my dining experience enjoyable. The cozy ambiance adds to the charm.

A hidden gem in Kotara! The food was top notch. the service was great. The menu is extensive and full of beautiful dishes. A must visit for anyone looking for a good meal in Newcastle!!!

The crispy salt and pepper tofu is the best thing I have ever eaten , the flavor is delicious and the crispy batter is immaculate. I treat myself here at least once a week with the salt and pepper tofu. Even if you aren't vegetarian try it, it's absolutely delicious 😋 love this restaurant. Staff are wonderful and service is fantastic.

The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are enormous! Service was very quick too. It was a little noisy at peak hour, but totally worth it!

Everything is amazing and reasonable prices with a huge selection. Something for everyone and every taste.

Another new favourite restaurant found now at the rooftop, Kotara Westfeild. An extensive menu on offer with nothing but the tastiest authentic cuisine as found in Hong Kong. Lots of variety for all to enjoy. Lunch for one or son at for 10 they have plenty of tables to cater for all dinner guests. Dim sum fresh lly made to order and kung pao chicken is a chillie stir fried chicken dish recommended u try. Also we love the mini pork and prawn dim sim. Look at photo. The hot pot tofu and combination is also a most satisfying dish and a great one to share along with your choice of rice or noodles. There are the more common Chinese soups like chicken and sweet corn soup and short soup and hot n sour. Or soups to share. There is a section with broth noodle soups whereby u choice which meat you would like along side. Such as duck, bbq pork, chicken, beef?? Hong Kong Chef is also licenced and offers a wide choice of beverages including beers, soda, jasmine tea and even freshly squeezed juices. This restaurant is a must try.

Came in for yum cha today for the long weekend. We should have known how busy it would be we managed to get seated pretty quickly. The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The cherry on top was the service throughout the whole experience. The staff were attentive and absolutely lovely. Definitely coming back here again.

Delicious food and friendly service. Loved our meal here!

Visited this restaurant and was greeted with warm smiles and promptly seated.
Each dish arrived very promptly, the food was very authentic, most certainly delicious and left with a full belly.
Great experience, will definitely be back!

Great meal, love great service ❤

Ordered Menulog, waited around 2 hours for driver to be assigned. Called up to ask if I can collect it myself, manager offered to drive it to us. Very grateful, great service.

Excellent value for money. Quality food and service

Really nice restaurant. Great food (try the dumplings)
The real highlight is the staff! They are amazing
Love this place

Great tasting variety of food.

Great place for family, awesome food 👌

We often come here when visiting Kotara, and it never fails to satisfy. Good Hong Kong yum cha - the highlight of this visit was the "lor bak goh" (fried turnip cake with nuggets of chinese sausage) with crispy edges - I like it with some chilli oil. If you haven't tried HK Chef yet, go there! And have a portion or two of the lor bak go.

Lovely food, especially Rainbow beef & Salt and pepper squid. Highly recommend. Yum!!

Walked past a lot, but today, we stopped for lunch. We have been missing out on great food. Absolutely loved it. Wish we lived closer.

Tried and trusted, great food and great value. They will always find a place for you and it's super quick.Good to eat here weekly.
