We stumbled across this restaurant, looking for a place to enjoy some Chinese food. Jilin Family Restaurant is situated off the main street (Victoria Ave) in Chatswood, but the place was PACKED when we walked past. What better place to enjoy great Chinese food than a busy restaurant full of Chinese people!
Being the only white people in there, I think the manager felt like he needed to come over to re-assure us - and he was so helpful and friendly. He explained the cuisine, how the province of Jilin is in the Northeast part of the country, so it has influences from Korea and also Russia.
The food was fantastic (and reasonably priced) - we could not eat it all so took the rest home in a doggy bag. The next day I made some rice at home and heated up the leftovers and enjoyed the meal all over again! They need to get a website, or at least a facebook page - this is definitely a restaurant where I would make a "check-in" to publish it on my fb timeline.
