    Literally I was vomiting after I had cold noodle, lamb skewer , BBQ chicken wing; can’t believe how hard to eat them. No favour on any food, the worst worst Chinese BBQ I had ever. Never back this pace

    Heavy flavour and oily, good for those occasional times. Friendly staff that calls you back 5min before your take away is ready. Quite pricey for what you get.

    Came here for the Guo Bao Rou and fell in love with the pork trotter. It’s one of the best pork trotter that I’ve had. Really enjoyed the meal and will be coming back again. I observed that other tables take a while to get their dishes (we were early) so better go earlier otherwise the wait time will probably make you frustrated.

    It’s alright, below average. The pork is not crispy at all.

    Stir fried shredded potatoes with green capsicum was our favourite dish here! Sooo good that we kept ordering it every single time, and it never failed. They're under same management with the BBQ restaurant next door, we can order BBQ at the same time which made it really convenient! ( Their BBQ are really nice too! )

    The restaurant specializes in northeastern Chinese food which is savory but not spicy. Pork in sweet and sour sauce is a must-order signature dish. Portion sizes are quite big as in northeastern China. We spent $32 per person but had quite some leftover for takeaway. It's busy at dinner time so booking is a good idea.

    Big and tasty dishes. The lamp dish is very good but spicy

    Got takeaway dumplings here tonight, and they were delicious! It’s a limited selection of dumplings, but we got chicken and prawn, and pork and cabbage. Would love to come back to try the rest of the menu, so many amazing looking Northern Chinese dishes on the menu and the food on the tables looked fantastic! PS to order takeaway scan the image attached!

    Food was so so. Decor Reno was OK. Service was not very well as they don't do first come first serve. They served food according to dollar value. If you want to get your food quick, prepare to pay big buck. Otherwise, be very patience then.

    We had 2 dishes from the Lunch Special: 回锅肉饭 $14.90 and Fish fillets with hot chilli oil on rice, 水煮鱼饭 $15.90. Super yummy and authentic. Big portions as well. They are a bit slow but definitely worth the wait. We had it extra spicy and it's perfect. Saw some negative comments. One said it's a bit oilly. Do remember this is northern Chinese food so of course it's a bit more oilly, it's not going to be the same as Cantonese food.

    The food here is absolutely amazing and so delicious. If you asked me one thing I could eat forever and never get sick of, it would be the fried rice served at this restaurant. 🤭

    Tried placing order for fried rice take away. After 7 attempts she finally understood. Waited 30 minutes for this 1 dish and could have made it better myself. Not going back

    One of the restaurant we found open on a day with 20k new cases , great job and thanks for your bravery. The owner gave us a hand sanitizer each to take away at the end.

    Food was ordered thru the internet ordering system. Service was slow. Food variety was good but a tat salty. Price is very reasonable. Was there for lunch.

    Very slow service. We waited for an hour for 4 dishes to all come. Would not come back again.

    We chose this restaurant because we wanted dumplings and given the name we figured it would be a good choice. However nobody is the restaurant was eating dumplings and we were told we would have to wait 20 minutes to get dumplings. We waited and they were quite tasty. When we arrived we were told there was no table available for 3 and we were offered take aways. We suggested adding an extra chair to a table for 2 which they did. So not the best experience.

    Misleading and below average food. We ordered a lamb chop in chili sauce, the image used for the digital menu was completely different to what was served. We thought it was an entirely different dish until we checked our order again. When we raised this to the staff they said the image used was before it’s coated in batter and fried. Not sure what type of excuse that is, as you can just use the photo of the finished product instead. Because why don’t restaurants just start posting pictures of dishes still being prepared as the final product, pretty dumb. Other dishes we ordered also tasted below average. Would not recommend or go back again.

    Food is good, but it takes very long time (more than 40 mins) to serve if you dine in . They always have a long list of takeaway orders.
