    this establishment is quite the experience as i attended with a family of five including me my mother my father my sister and brother and as we came to the end of my meal i the solo survivor was the only to return as the little Asian woman butchered my whole family so i could eat some pricey dimmys 10/10 would recommend if your are looking to extinguish your family members the attached picture is the remains of my brother

    below average asian food. noodles had an unpleasant texture, broccoli had clumps of these weird jelly like globs on it that looked like vaginal discharge, extremely offputting. wouldn’t recommend

    Today for lunch I ordered a small rice and beef in black bean. The meat was like leather and before I finished eating the rice I was vomiting. I will never eat there again

    Not happy with the food or service provided.. Honey Chicken was hard as hell, probably could injure someone's forehead if thrown at them. Fried rice was equally bad

    The atmosphere was top notched, The service is somewhat okay, but the only thing was their food !!! We ordered two orders of large takeaways, we expected the food was really good, turns out we were eating a very hard to chew chicken, orange chicken, lemon chicken was very dry too. I am so disappointed. my jaw still hurts from chewing the food while writing this email. Hope you guy can take this review positively and improve your food. Thanks

    Looks nice with a lot of options of food. Had mix of sweet and sour chicken and honey chicken with egg fried rice and wasn’t too bad but could have been better. Service was okish and price for that serving is overpriced for a food court.

    Not bad for decent Chinese, the selection they have is fairly basic but good enough if you want decent asian takeout, you can get specials during closing times.

    Service is terribly slow and food is horribly bad. Waited long for my food. ordered mee goreng and made nasi goreng for me and insisted that it was mee goreng. Come on. would never ever spend my money here again. not worth it at all.

    Quite busy, but it is the Melbourne Central food court. Prices are high for the serving sizes. Standard chinese takeaway food that is enjoyable. Nothing more than a 4 star

    For the price you pay, the servings are small. The dish was luke warm. Every element on the plate of my "hot meal" of chinese food was almost room temperature. And while the food looked good in the store, it was extremely poor to eat. The beef was stringy - literally several pieces were attached as a giant clump. It was inedible - once again literally, since no matter how long you chewed it, it wouldn't break down in your mouth. The beef was quite under seasoned and unpleasant. The fried rice was really dry. Room temperature, and dry. 0/10. Would not eat there again.

    Terrible service. The lady never smiles and didn’t even say thank you after giving back my change. Will never come back.

    The Sweet and Sour Chicken and Szechuan Chicken, both with rice ($12 in total) wasn't that good. I only bought them because it was night and they were giving out the food at lowered prices. Even then, the taste wasn't that great.

    Ordered a large box of honey chicken at around 2:20pm today. Almost $20 for very dry and tasteless food. Would like to request a refund ASAP.

  • 3/5 Zhu H. 11 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Chucked entire onion in it 😂 maybe should chop up and spread out? some dish is not bad, quite unique actually, price is 33% more expensive, but understandable as it’s in a prime location. Could make use of more variety of food, didn’t have any choice other than chicken and beef.

  • 1/5 Jenny H. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Omg I nearly died when she told me The price for 3 dishes and 600ml coke. I get similar at home for $17. This cost me $35. And I must say it’s not the best I’ve had. Wouldn’t recommend unless u where desperate

  • 1/5 Yasir S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really tiny servings , I had the largest serving they have (rice + three dishes) . They didnt mention they will put on a tiny piece of each dish on a bucket load of rice lol. And the lady serving me didnt know english so I spent a minute guiding her down the fridge shelves so that she could give me a bottle of sprite. I came here hungry and now I am still hungry AND embarrassed. Will not try it again.

    My wife ordered Honey Chicken with rice yesterday and it was completely nuked. The chicken which should have been soft was hard and crunchy. My daughter had a taste of the chicken and she could barely eat it. Needless to say my wife broke her tooth not long after eating the food. My family had arrived to eat at 12pm, which should mean that the food would be fresh. A very unpleasant experience.

  • 1/5 Nicole W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the medium size plate and my god very very very tiny amount of food for $13.90 and left me still hungry. DO NOT BUY FOOD FROM THIS GREEDY PLACE.

  • 2/5 Brendan T. 5 months ago on Google
    Ordered Honey chicken and fried rice from the cabinet at 4:45pm. It was tough like rubber couldn't even stab it with a fork. Fried rice was ok.

  • 1/5 Mr P. 3 years ago on Google
    DO NOT EAT OR BUY!!! If i could give 0 or negative stars i would Majority of my rice was UNCOOKED and my chicken was all batter i barely saw or tasted chicken. It wasnt hot it was cold straight out, nonono i did not wait 30 mins to eat straight away. It was hard, clumpy and disgusting. If i wasnt in a rush i would of thrown the food. Absolutely disgusting. Not the mention i payed $15 for a "large" thats a small where i live in beautiful wollongong. In a nutshell if you want to get good chinese, dont come here and save your stomach. God bless u all and avoid eating here

  • 1/5 Jack M. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could give a 0 stars I would! We ordered honey chicken and they put gravel in our bowl! Felt like we were eating tar off the road it was so hard. The service was really rude and they were inappropriate to my partner. Absolute disgrace

  • 1/5 Catherine L. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst honey chicken and fried rice I've ever had! The chicken was overcooked, dried out, hard and very chewy. The rice tasted smokey. My husband had pork and reported similar. Terribly expensive too.

  • 1/5 Carla vivanco d. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could? I would have given 0 STARS. The food is really bad (not fresh at all) plus they don't treat their staff fairly (payment and working rights conditions) so I will never support a business where they treat their staff in such a way.

  • 1/5 Srujana S. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the “special offer “ where we get rice/noodles with 2 dishes which was for $15. We asked her to serve the fresh honey chicken which was just sitting there in front of us but she started serving the crumbs of the previous batch of honey chicken and said it’s the same (even though it was clearly NOT) and the portion was so little. Most of what she served us wasn’t even chicken it was just fried flour. Get your food from somewhere else. Not worth the money!

  • 1/5 Jeremy X. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant has the audacity to charge almost 15 dollars with such pathetic portion. Not to mention the food they served is COLD. Avoid this restaurant at all cost!

  • 1/5 Derek N. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    It was the most terrible experience, service and food I have ever had in Melbourne. The food were cold and the price was over priced even compared to properly dine in restaurants. I spent $32 for a cold premade food which I could get a better meal from other shops where they cook by order. I will never come back and would not recommend anyone to come and try food from here.

    Ordered the honey chicken with noodles, and it was extremely old and chewy and the noodles were dry. I felt sick later on after eating it.
