Benny’s Inn is the typical suburban Chinese restaurant. Located in the Boonooroo Park shopping complex, this small restaurant is a little drab and run down looking but they serve up tasty affordable Chinese food.

The shopping centre is located near the highway, rail line and Nerang so the customers often have mullet haircuts and wear flannelette shirts. When we went this week there were young kids hanging out the front of the fish and chip shop next door swearing and smoking and tradies were burning around the carpark.

We normally get take away from here but as an excuse to get out of the house we decided to dine in. The decor is run down but the staff are always friendly and the decor is what you’d expect from a small neighbourhood Chinese.

We ordered soups for starters - short and long soup $3.20 and Tom Yam chicken soup $4.50 which was spicy the way it should be. The short and long soup was tasty but the noodles tasted and looked like the cheap variety.

For main we shared red lamb curry $14 with an order of mixed vegetables $8. Both were very nice and were decent serving sizes. We couldn’t finish them off.

As I mentioned, the location is a bit rough but the staff are always friendly and hard working. If you live locally it’s a good take away restaurant.
