Customer Review Summary
One reviewer calls the salted egg prawns the standout, with an evenly coated yolk crust on crispy deep-fried prawns. The roast duck had an authentic flavour, though its skin was less crispy than expected, and the Yangzhou fried rice and claypot three-cup chicken seemed fairly average. Another reviewer mentions crispy wontons, and a birthday diner describes patient, friendly staff bringing a surprise dessert.

“The roast duck tasted good and had an authentic flavour. However, the skin wasn’t as crispy as I expected, which was slightly disappointing. The salted egg prawns were the biggest surprise of the meal. The salted egg yolk coating evenly covered the crispy deep-fried prawns, making the dish rich, flavourful, and very satisfying. It was definitely the standout dish we ordered. The Yangzhou fried rice, claypot three-cup chicken, and braised tofu with mushrooms were fairly average in comparison. The atmosphere was relaxed and stylish, and they also had a cool bar area. The fluorescent lighting on the walls gave the restaurant a modern Chinese dining vibe.”
