    Lunch box special. I was sorely disappointed. Portion size was great for the cost. However, taste was way off. Noodles were fresh. Had to search for morsels of chicken and what I found was grizzle. I kid you not!! It wasn’t thigh pieces nor chunks of the breast, but grizzle smh. On the upside I called ahead, ordered and upon arrival my meal was ready for pick up. No waiting.

    The staff here was very pleasant and courteous from the security at the entrance to our server Moleeka... even the chef came out to do his check-in. The serving portions were quite generous and we had extras to take home . We had soup for starters ( chicken and sweet corn for me and beef and ginger for him). For the main course I had the four meat choi fan and my husband the special chop suey. To top things off I had a melon beer and he had a limeade . If you are in Kingston it's worth a visit.

    The decor is pretty typical similar to other asian restaurant and has a decent size dinning space. The food is pretty much the same variety, its good but could have been more flavourful. The customer service I experienced is top notch and there is adequate parking available on the property.

    Went after church on a Sunday because Mom had a fond memories of the place but it wasn't the best dining experience.😑 It was basically empty but some COVID protocols observed. 1. The building is outdated and needs a makeover. 2. The waiter was messy, unprepared and mixed up our orders. However the waiter had a great personality and we enjoyed the food.🤷🏽‍♂️

    This place is a staple, was my favorite Chinese restaurant for years before I migrate, but had to do my pre birthday dinner, it was just like I remembered.

    Overall a good experience. I got the mallah chicken and the flavour was good. I had asked if it was deboned and it was, but it's not all breast meat which lowered the food score. Would have expected deboned breast or primarily breast quarters. Would return to try another dish. Atmosphere is great and chopsticks available if you ask.

    First and foremost I am an avid asian cuisine eater. I've had hot and sour soups in MANY places. This establishment has presented me with the BEST HANDS DOWN version. As I arrive i have one, and one to go. Never have I done this anywhere else. EVER. Currently hooked on Roast Chicken, Sweet n Sour Lobster (when u can get them 😔..they go too fast) Stew Pork and the special fried rice. #1 Chinese Restaurant in my books. Roast pork is crazy too. They know what they are doing your money will go far here. FRESH.. Nothing reheated (yeah i know that rice trick, they dont do it) I drive about an hr just to see them from Ocho Rios. That says enough. Nothing in that city touches their standard. Once i wrote about you either your excellent or needed to be avoided. These guys are PHENOMENAL. ****MAKE SURE GET THE HOUSE MADE HOT SAUCE****

    Reasonably priced menu. Warm and friendly environment. Nice place for family and friends to dine and talk. The food was tasty.

  • 1/5 Patrice L. C. W. 11 months ago on Google
    This place has been a name from my childhood but I tried it again this year (2023) and was devastated by the experience. The service remains impeccable, everyone is friendly and there wasn't any wait time. I wanted to love the food, however it was very disappointing. I ordered take out so I can't speak to the ambience but the general area looked clean and typical of Chinese restaurants. Both the special chop suey and lo mein were over cooked, soppy, everything tasted boiled and it was drowning in liquid. The mallah chicken tasted like chicken boiled in ginger water with red colouring and the curried shrimp was equally tasteless and boiled in yellow liquid .... It was supposed to be a dinner for a special day and turned out quite disappointing for the whole family.

    Never disappointed

  • 5/5 Danielle S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Lunch box has only a small amount of meat. So better you buy the meal.

  • 4/5 Claudia M B. 2 years ago on Google
    Ok. So the food is on the pricey side when compared to other Chinese restaurants in Kingston but the food I got was great! I haven't had a bad meal from here yet and I enjoyed the options that I chose.

  • 4/5 Evan R. 10 months ago on Google
    He ambiance was nice and even though it was take out, I was greeted with a level of respect that was good. It's kind of expensive if you're on a budget but the box i got was loaded.

  • 4/5 Zasha M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice here. It was ok. I liked that even though it was near to closing time, they still allowed me to dine. The waiter was also pleasant.

  • 5/5 Zany Artsy (. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been me and my mother's go to spot for the best in authentic Chinese food for over thirty years and the quality of the food is always top notch in comparison to any others we have tried. Yes the prices may be a bit on the pricey side, but the food is worth it and the customer service has always been amazing and friendly whether collecting takeout or dining in.

  • 5/5 Gillian F. 2 years ago on Google
    Always great food and service....Great Jamaican Chinese food that has stood the test of time.

  • 5/5 Michelle B. 11 months ago on Google
    This is my favourite place to have lunch. Spacious, friendly and immaculate dining area. The staff including the owners are professional and comes back to check if the meal was okay and if we needed anything else. Best and only place for real choy fan.

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a good place to have a quiet meal. Love the ambiance and oh, the meal is great!!!

  • 5/5 elaine a. 2 years ago on Google
    I am from New York, and this is the best Oriental restaurant, hands down. The food was superb and our waiter, John was very professional. I shall surely return. Great service and very clean.

  • 4/5 Sydorney E. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delicious, wait time was long, there were a lot of diners, some even had to wait to be seated. They don't do reservations, bartender looked like he was going to break because he was on his feet for so long serving up the orders. I would go back.

  • 5/5 Coreen D. 1 year ago on Google
    Attended a wedding reception there. Talk about patience with a smile! It rained so the bridal party was late in arrival. During the wait, the staff served us water and kept us entertained with background music. After the party arrived and they got the cute to start serving, I was happy that the meal was still warm. And the serving portion! My goodness! Lots of food!! It just kept coming and we just kept eating 🤣. It was sooo good especially the sweet and sour fish! That disappeared in a flash! Will go back when I return to Jamaica! Sorry I can't add pictures as they may invade other person's privacy.

  • 4/5 Keisha W. 1 year ago on Google
    An old family favourite and we were not disappointed. Attentive service, quality of the food was still good and portion sizes were very generous. The earlier closing time was an unwelcome surprise, however I hope this will revert to the norm soon as we felt a bit rushed. They also aren't open on a Sunday anymore.

    Hands down the BEST Chinese food in Kingston. The staff are super friendly and the owners are very integral in the business which makes it a plus. Best Hong Kong Chow Mein I've ever had !!!

  • 1/5 CLIFFORD C. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was not up to par at all. I ordered sweet and sour pork with white rice n had to give it away.

  • 4/5 Dawn D. 3 years ago on Google
    Very satisfied. No temperature check but hand sanitizing and mask mandatory for entry. Ordering for takeout was very efficient, waiting time was reasonable, adequate seating in waiting area (although not spaced for social distancing but wasn't an issue due to intermittent traffic) and signature fish tank seemed to cut wait time in half. Food was delivered hot, well-packaged for travel, tasty and nuff (had leftovers)! Adequate parking, fair (moderate-to-high) pricing - this is not fast food! Adequate room for socially distanced dining although I would not choose to dine-in in any air-conditioned dining room.
