The standout feature of The Rodney is undoubtedly its food. Diners rave about the Hot and Fresh meals that consistently exceed expectations. Popular choices include the Chicken Curry and Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, both of which are crowd favorites. Guests appreciate the generous portion sizes, often noted as perfect for sharing, which adds to the communal dining experience.
The friendly staff further enhances the dining atmosphere, ensuring quick service even during busy hours. Regulars highlight the joy of discovering hidden gems on the menu, such as the Deep Fried Chicken with Hoi Sin Sauce, which is a circular staple you cannot miss.

Most Disliked
Occasionally, diners may note that the exterior of The Rodney is somewhat unassuming, leading to some misconceptions about the food within. Some visitors believe it lacks visual appeal, which can discourage potential patrons from stepping inside. However, many agree that looks can be deceiving, as the quality of the dining experience far outweighs initial impressions. Additionally, a few reviews have pointed out that on busy weekends, reservations are a must. A couple of guests experienced minor hiccups related to booking, highlighting the importance of confirming reservations in advance. This ensures seating and prevents potential wait times, especially for larger groups visiting for special occasions. But overall, these small issues do not overshadow the restaurant's popularity or the quality of the offerings.

The outside is nothing major to look at and I think was a conversion of different building. Don't let that put you off. The food was fantastic, we just walked in. The service was friendly and pleasant. Forgot to take some pictures of the dishes. We had one of the set menus. Very full and content when we left Plenty of parking and easy wheelchair access. Views of the local part of town, and many window seats. We arrived just after they had opened, did not book and the service was quick. We would certainly eat there again.

Food was awesome, Hot and Fresh, we telephoned the order through and got a call back to say it would be ready sooner than time given to pick up which was a nice touch so you could make your way to get it so it was not just sitting around getting cold, everything was presented well and plentiful, all in all a great experience would highly recommend,

8 of us on a golf weekend. Booked months in advance but on the night they had no record of booking. Fortunately, even though it was a Friday, they weren't busy so could fit us in. We chose the banquet for 8 (c) and the food that was served up was amazing. High quality from the sweet and hit soup, to aromatic crispy duck pancakes, starters and many, many main dishes Serve throughout by the waitresses was excellent. Highly recommend.

Tried them for the first time tonight when we bought dinner for a friend's birthday. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it was probably the best Chinese we have ever had. Had a wide variety of items including beef with tomato, orange chicken, young chow rice, egg fried rice, pork balls and chicken balls. Among other menu items. All was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Will be frequenting regularly and highly recommend.
