Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the authentic Chinese cooking, with several pointing to Cantonese style flavours and one saying the restaurant reminds them of Hong Kong. Diners call the menu far from the run of the mill, and describe the food as delicious, yummy, well presented and hot, with praise for the portion size too. Close behind is the staff, described repeatedly as friendly, attentive, helpful and accommodating, with one reviewer noting the team worked hard all night and never forgot to smile. Several call it their favourite place to eat and say they will return. The only caveat comes from one reviewer who finds prices higher, though they feel the quality of the food and service justifies it. Another reviewer singles out the set lunch, where soup arrives in a separate bowl with prawn crackers, the main courses come on heated plate warmers, and plenty of Chinese tea is included.
