Mr Stonepot Chatswood: modern Chinese in Sydney, get ready to line up

Chef Vincent Lei has always been a legend among Chinese foodies in Sydney. After he left his well-known Burwood restaurant Mr Stonebowl, he moved on to open this brand new Chinese modern cuisine restaurant called Mr Stonepot. Located in a food court of a Chinese shopping mall, the restaurant is not large but with a bright kitchen, very neat and clean. We were lucky enough to come here really early during soft opening to avoid the lines. What we could tell from all the friends social media sharing these days is that the lined up crowd have pretty much taken over the whole food court. Menu is big, a mixture of all kinds of Chinese cuisines with other Asian flavours and Western twist, half are new innovated dishes, half are the upgrade versions of his previous signature dishes. Price is very good, actually for the food quality, efforts and thoughts that's been put into it, the price is quite cheap.

What we ate:

Caviar, Seaweed, Cucumber & Chicken Fresh Spring Rolls
鱼子酱春卷 $8.8

Marinated Tender Chicken in Vegetable Sauce
魔鬼嫩滑鸡 $8.8

 I think there’s a secret amount of wasabi in the sauce, giving it a pleasant hint of heat.

Traditional Pan Fried Pork Bun (9)
老上海生煎包 $8.8

Xiao Long Bao (9)
灌汤小笼包 $8.8

Super thin skin, very soupy inside, consistently good, the pork stuffing is not as sweet as the actual Shanghainese version from Shanghai, which is good cause more people here can accept the flavour.

Jinsha Eggplant

金沙茄子 $13.8

Deep Fried Eggplant in Bread Crumb, STAR DISH, MUST ORDER!!! So addicted.

Garlic Prawn & Green Lip Mussels with Stir Fried Rice in Squid Ink Sauce
石锅招牌墨鱼汁饭 $18.8

Singapore Style Barramundi in Stone Bowl
石锅招牌星洲鱼 $18.8

Grilled Lamb Chop in Red Wine Sauce with Dried Rose Petal
碳汁红酒玫瑰羊排 $16.8
