Reviews for Three Leg Frog

OMG, my partner had tired legs from when we walked around checking which restaurant to eat at. Furnace was very busy and full & Keystone was fairly full and far too noisy. I decided to just go to Three Leg Frog and we walked into it not realising it’s actually a Western form of Chinese Restaurant.
So we ordered and the Steiny Pure tasted nice and then the Chicken Satay sticks were hot but nice except for too much MSG in the peanut sauce. The staff were helpful and polite all during the service.
Finally we got our mains but immediately I said to my partner ‘where are the Green & Red Capsicum that are meant to be in that dish?’ so we asked that of the waitress. They could remake the dish with Green Capsicum or else give us it for half price of the $21 original value so we accepted the discount as preferred.
My $26 main Spicy Lamb in a Garlic Jus with Breadcrumbs and Onions was a basket of battered meat where it was more batter than meat and most pieces of meat you could clearly taste the animal fat in it. I went up to pay for the meal and to complain about my poor main. They must think we are too ignorant to know tastes of meat as the waitress tried to tell me the meat is always carefully trimmed so no fat would be on it and that the taste was probably the starch that mixed with oils etc. I’m not that dumb as I grew up on a farm where we ate lots of REAL meat and I know it’s no use complaining more to someone that can’t be honest by trying to deny facts by use of lies. I felt totally let down and what was a poor meal was made worse by such bad final service of a senior staff member at the till.
We got a card where once we buy 5 meals within 6 months we could get a free beer or glass of wine. Wow how good when the meals here are a lot more expensive yet of a much poorer quality than most of the other Chinese restaurants around town. This is why you will never see Asian families dining at that restaurant.

I’m sure their food is delightful – if you can get in. We made a reservation for four on what turned out to be a busy Friday night, and when we turned up, no one seemed to know who we were, despite the fact one of us had ordered the special duck, of which they only prepare 2 per night. They were jam packed and there was no spare tables for four, although they had larger tables with only two people sitting at them and spare two-seaters. We left, thinking it just wasn’t meant to be, and we won’t hurry back.

Made a reservation to have dinner here Friday night with some friends, when we got there, the place was full except for some tables outside in the rain, the first lady we spoke to didn’t seem to understand what we were saying, the next staff member we spoke to said she could only offer us a table outside or we could try our luck in 40 minutes. We will definitely not be returning here anytime soon.

By far the best “Asian” style restaurant in Hamilton. How far? By streets.

The menu is chock full of wonderful, tasty, mouth watering dishes.

The atmosphere is electric, the wait staff are friendly and accommodating and the food is simply FANTASTIC.

One little point that they could tidy up on a little is when a wine waitress delivers a bottle of wine to your table they shouldn’t just show it to you and then place it, unopened, on the table and walk off. Just need to brush up on that a little I think. Not worth downgrading their stars though as it was a 5-star experience otherwise. We will definitely go back again and again.

Wow…..

My Wife and I went to the 3 Leg Frog for Lunch last Sunday 29th April, can’t say enough about it. Service was great, helpful, pleasant. Food was to die for, best Asian food we have had since we were in Vietnam a couple of years ago. We will be going back and are going to find it hard to look beyond the excellent dishes we both had on our first visit.

Beautiful food without a doubt, shame however that staff seemingly attempt to get you intoxicated, only makes you wonder why.

Coming into the restaurant I was assisted but was I ask if I may sit it went well.
I was carefully attended to and the meals was awesome,chicken succulent & tender, a meal to rave about which I did not expect.
One thing that bothered me was the fly/s constant around while having the meal.
I will recommend this place any time and rate it quite high, very calm and relaxing venue!

Took a gamble and it did not pay off!
The service was below poor and the food was very mediocre. It took 35 mins for our entree to come out and there was only 4 other people in the restaurant. It took another 45 mins for our mains to come! Food was bland lacking authentic flavour. The waitress was too busy talking to other staff instead of asking if we would like another drink!!
Would not recommend at all

This was a shot in the dark that really paid off. We chose it with little thought but truly enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent, the food was amazing and the ambiance allows for fine but relaxed dinning. I intend on coming back for sure.

We had a lovely dinner here. The food was very fresh with great flavours, and in a nice setting. Would recommend it to friends look for a good Chinese dining experience.

Great food, excellent service! Great to learn about the culture they are all extremely welcoming & polite. The platters are beautiful, huge in size and bursting with flavour! You must stop in and try on your way past!
