Great place to eat Chinese food fair pricing friendly staff

Comfortable space with nice food and an unexpected, brief history lesson from a local about the Hexham Grey (Mosquito) - makes sense, given their mascot!

Was definitely NOT a suclent Chinese meal, the fried rice smelt like it was fried in off chicken juice witch was passed off as seseme oil. 2 plates of keow teow were put on our table and after we had eaten of both one was taken directly from our table and given to a different table as we were only ment to get one. When we complained they took one of our plates and threw it out offering no replacement or refund, all round was a terrible experience witch was disappointing even Jack Karlson wouldn't spend someone elses money on it.

Great food, excellent service! We really enjoy our visits to the Mozzie! Being a member is a real bonus and the sign up fee will probably be covered by the member discounts you get, even if you only visit once!

Excellent food - great prices- friendly wonderful staff and service. Typical of Hexham Bowling Club Management- everything has aways been Gold Standard. I have been a member for about x25 years and just signed up tonight for another x3 Years. Well done everyone. Rex

Dissappointed that it wasn't as good as it was when we last ate here. The prawn satay today was sweet and had pineapple in it. It lacked the peppery spiciness we previously loved! Was very watery. Mongolian beef, their version not to our liking, and too much onion in each dish!

A work function/training, so no drinks but the Club was very central and lunch was superb.

Stopped on the way through to grab take away as it was recommended by a colleague. I now have absolutely no faith in that colleague as this may be the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. Everything was in a pool of oil & there was no flavour other than salt & grease. The staff were friendly, but that is about all the place has going for it. You could do better yourself at home with a packet mix of seasoning, some frozen Asian veg & some chicken breast.

Great little bowling club with delicious meals both asain and Australian

Have had lunch and dinner here a few times now. The food is always good. Given how isolated this place is it's always busy. My family has been coming here for years and the price has barely changed. $12 for most lunches is a bargain especially for food of this quality.

A nice, quiet club to visit where you can relax and chat during the day without a lot of background noise. The Chinese lunches are good value for money, and are always hot due to the quick service. The coffee is good too.

I've driven past here a thousand times thinking this place looks like the kind of club you can definitely judge based on appearances.

I mean, besides a swamp, maccas, train line, and a servo, this is all of what Hexham has to offer. An insect infested club who's mascot is a giant mozzie (of course).

The eftpos was down, and as I got to the ATM a creepy female staff member came to kindly let me know the machine 'might' be out of cash. It was. She was never seen again.

The place smelt like cheap toilet cleaner, and the food is sort of like a poorly funded nursing home's attempt at chinese food.

Do yourself a favour and make your own chicken cashew nut by combining some frozen woolies brand veggies, rubbery chicken, and watery soy sauce, to save yourself the 18 bucks. Which is about the same amount of change I was given in $1 coins after paying for my order with my partner's money (cheers for that).

For some reason half the lights were turned off suddenly at 6:30pm. And the ground sort of 'jiggled' as a coal train went by, which definitely inspired my confidence in the knuckle dragging gravel munchers that built the place...

But I must admit, the band was good. Shazza and Bazza featuring the drum machine did a solid version of Go Johnny Go.

I enjoyed my combination chow mein lunch that I had there. The club has very friendly and helpful staff and also a pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely go there again

Walking in front door says it all, the brown carpets are black and sticky. Food was average lunch special which was served politley and timely. This club used to be beautiful. Hopefully, they get funds to restore it to its glory.

Long time customer of Riverside Bistro, I have noticed a decline in the quality of food since reopening after the pandemic. Ordered dinner tonight and it was absolutely disgusting. The chicken and sweet corn soup was over salted and flavourless, the garlic beef was in a sickly looking pale 'sauce' and tasted weird. Fried rice was flavourless and definitely not 'fried'.
If you are a true fan of authentic Chinese cuisine, don't eat here.
Gave them one last chance .. will never eat there again! Will not renew membership either.

Great restaurant with a wide variety of food. Also has a small indoor playground that my children enjoy, i cant keep them off it. Have been going there for years and our family love it!

The food was delicious but there was a delay in being able to place our order and the delay in receiving our order. Explained that they were under staffed and the extra number of people coming for tea. Regardless
a pleasant night.

Great club. Yes it needs a reno but look pass this and you will have a great time. Mostly Chinese food at the bistro but they do have some Australian Meals. Lots of lunch specials on the bistro menu. Staff very friendly Plenty of parking

A nice venue with good food options. Parking can be difficult at meal times. Kids playground was closed up, unable to be used, which was disappointing. Food is mainly Chinese meals, reasonably priced, very quick to arrive, and taste nice.

We had the pizzas from Ozzies cafe. (Ie order at the bar). I'm pleased I noticed the sign in the foyer otherwise we would have thought the Chinese bistro was the only option.
$14.50 for pizza was good value as we shared 2 (Chicken & Meat Lovers) amongst the 4 of us and had a few slices to bring home.
A pity they didn't also have the Korma, Lasagne & Roast that was on the sign but did offer Rissoles and another pasta dish.

What a friendly Club. The staff are cheerful and welcoming. Drinks are reasonably priced. The dining is excellent value. Friday night raffles are well worth a visit. There are plenty of prizes and the atmosphere is great.

I can't fault the food it is so yummy the staff and the service is excellent 10 out of 10. I go there every 2 week and have a meal being perfect each time I go I am very happy with all the staff. I order Satay Chicken with boiled rice PERFECT PERFECT ??'???'?

Nice meal but not as special as I've heard, yes I would eat hear again.
One other thing, didn't have to wait long for meals, which is always good, keeps me sore. Lol.

Great place for a meal. Food good, service good. Would recommend.

I went to the Hexham Bowling Club for lunch, it was there $10 special lunch menu. The food was great, the staff were friendly, polite and the food service was fast. The Hexham Bowling Club also does takeaways. The restaurant was clean and tidy and their lunchtime specials attracts a lot of customers. I had honey chicken which comes with fried rice and a spring roll.
The hole Club it's self was clean, tidy and spacious.
I would recommend the Hexham Bowling Club (The Ozzie Mozzie) for lunch and dinner with all meals being reasonable priced.
$ to $$

The food is really good, there is also an amazing amount for food for selection on the menu. I was concerned when there was a large amount of people in house but the food came out really quickly and was delicious.
There is a playground for the kids which is kept clean.
All of the amenities were clean and the staff were all very friendly. I will enjoy coming ba k here again.
I attended as part of a family Christmas party, which they were able to accommodate our large group size at short notice, but I will definitely be back with my immediate family.
Great work!

Staff are nice and warm. If you are craving for chinese food, this is one of the best places to go to. A really Good value for your money.

Great food and staff. The meal sizes are massive and absolutely delicious.Coffee was hot and made well.Kids room is quite big.

Great food. Very impressed. Will definitely come again. Thanks.

What an awesome place for the whole family
to sit, eat a great meal and unwind with the kids playing in the play area.

Hexham bowling club is 1 of the best clubs in the hunter by far and the food is I'm well traveled across Australia and I've tried a lot of different Chinese restaurants in different states and none have stood close to being as good as Ricky and lily's riverside bistro. It's always a pleasure to have a meal and a few quite drinks at the club. High-quality and highly recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food here was. If you like Chinese cuisine I highly recommend it.

Good food and Beer

Decent Australian style Chinese at unbelievable value. Top notch banquet that was $15pp and impossible to finish. Every dish was tasty. Lightning fast service and very accommodating. Huge area for kids to play as well. Check it out!
