China Sea: Bringing Popular and Authentic Cantonese Cuisine to Milton

Ever since it moved to Park Road in 2005, the family-owned Cantonese restaurant China Sea has supplied the Milton community with elite and authentic East-Asian dining experiences. 



Veteran restaurateur Stanley Cheung has owned China Sea since the ‘80s. In the past, the restaurant was based in Brisbane’s Chinatown located in Fortitude Valley, where it operated from 1980 to 2005. After 25 years of running a successful restaurant, Stanley opted to pack up and move to Park Road, Milton. Today, over 30 years later, the restaurant’s still standing strong with the help of his family. 

Stanley’s sons, Jason and Philip Cheung, are established chefs in their own right and work to deliver fine, authentic Cantonese cuisine to the China Sea’s customers. The restaurant takes pride in its menu, serving a huge variety of dishes such as peking duck, chili mud crab, honey sesame king prawns, and hokkien fried rice.

For those with dietary restrictions, the restaurant has a gluten-free menu with options such as gluten-free ma po tofu, bok choi with garlic or ginger, or crackling roast pork. Desserts are also among the restaurant’s specialties, offering deep fried ice cream, panna cotta, and banana fritters.

Reviewers on Tripadvisor raved over the restaurant’s seafood-based dishes such as the salt and pepper calamari and the prawn dumplings. Service was also spot-on, according to numerous customers who left the restaurant with five-star reviews, lauding the Cheungs for being welcoming.
