About Jilin Family Chatswood

Chatswood’s destination for hearty Northeastern Chinese comfort serves up massive sharing plates packed with bold, homestyle warmth. Regulars book ahead for the signature tie guo dun—a giant iron pot bubbling with meats and vegetables directly at the table, finished with fresh cornmeal buns stuck to the rim to catch every drop of braising broth. The rest of the menu runs just as deep: crispy guo bao rou coated in tangy glaze, rich braised pork bones served with disposable gloves for tearing into with your hands, and thick-skinned pork dumplings landing piping hot from the kitchen.

  • Communal Iron Pot Stews: Slow-cooked table-stove iron woks lined with steamed cornmeal bread, available by pre-order for groups.
  • Hands-On Braised Pork Bones: Tender braised pork bones arrive with disposable gloves for mess-free, hands-on eating.
  • Oversized Dongbei Classics: Generous platters of crisp guo bao rou, sauced stir-fries, and thick-skinned boiled dumplings made for big tables.

  • Communal Iron Pot Stew Experience

    Pre-ordered table woks simmer hearty chicken, mushroom, or rib combinations with steamed cornmeal bread stuck around the rim to soak up the sauce.

    The cornmeal buns around the pot were great for soaking up the stew, and the portion was huge.

Hearty, authentic Northeastern Chinese specialties crafted for sharing

  • Iron Pot Stew (Tie Guo Dun)

    Tried their Iron Pot Stew (Tie Guo Dun). We had the chicken and mushroom stew today and it was amazing! The mushrooms were super tasty and full of flavour, and the chicken was tender and comforting — just like real northern home-style cooking.

  • Guo Bao Rou

    The sweet and sour pork (Guo Bao Rou) was crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the portions were generous.

  • Braised Pork Bones

    My boyfriend absolutely loves the braised pork bones from Jilin Family, but he works in a town two and a half hours away from Sydney.

  • Di San Xian

    Di San Xian (potato, eggplant, capsicum) is silky and smoky, and the sauerkraut pork stew with glass noodles tastes like a winter hug—sour, savory, deeply warming.

Before you head over

Essential planning tips for sharing hearty Northeastern stews and dishes

  • Pre-order the Iron Pot Stew

    The signature iron pot stew (Tie Guo Dun) takes extended preparation time, so reserve your table and place your stew order ahead (ideally 1 to 2 hours prior) to enjoy it as soon as you arrive.

  • Bring a Group for Large Servings

    Portions are generous and the jumbo stew pots easily serve groups of 4 to 8, making it best to bring a party or be prepared to take extra food home.

  • Plan Ahead for Peak Times

    The dining room gets very crowded and lively during lunch rush and weekend evenings, so arrive early or expect a line if you don't book ahead.
