Mr. Stonepot - Chatswood

What can I say... this place offers a HUGE variety of all kinds of dishes hot and cold dishes at a decent price. I like how most of the dishes are smaller and cheaper so you can pick and choose and order even more. We ordered around 10 dishes between us to share and they were all dishes, filled with flavour and seasoning and yum.

Came here for lunch in a group of four. Within walking distance to Chatswood Station and located in a busy shopping strip.<br/ <br/ Ordered lots of yummy food at a very reasonable price. To those who enjoy boiling hot single-serve soup, this is definitely the place to go. Also do not forget to order one of the stonepot meal!

Mr Stonepot is a master at interesting food and heat management.<br/ <br/ I get the appeal of the pan baked pork bun. It was like a xiao long bao, gyoza and char shao bao got together. Crunchy base, hefty size and oozing soup.<br/ <br/ Also my first time trying sea urchin (served with tofu). It tasted like anchovies which is not for everyone but I’m glad I tried it. <br/ <br/ Bit of a wait but the dishes are served piping hot and they stay hot till the last bite.

Came here on Tuesday night and was very packed. We made a booking for 6 people but that was really a noted status, as they did not reserve a table anyway. The table turnover rate was quick enough so we did not wait too long. <br/ <br/ We ordered way too much food as the portion was not small at all: chicken with vegetable sauce, xiao long bao, pan fried dumplings, bread with condense milk, stir fry rice cake, stone pot rice with garlic prawns and mussels, sweet and sour pork, deep fried eggplant, and this lemongrass beef.<br/ <br/ the dumplings and xiao long baos were really nice, bursting with flavour and the skin thin. <br/ <br/ I find the lemongrass beef and sweet and sour pork quite average. They put stones underneath the food, presumably to keep it warm, but the presentation made it hard to fish for food.<br/ <br/ The stonepot rice was unique, it was smoky but not a must-try for me, portion was very big but quite heavy (with the cream sauce). <br/ <br/ It was a cheap meal considering the amount of food we ordered. Minimal service because it was so busy.

The food here is simply amazing, so many variety and different from your standard chinese restaurant. The fried bao is a must order everytime we visit!
