👍👍 My go to Chinese Restaurant in Rotorua. It's centrally located and perfect after visiting the Polynesian Spa around the corner. The dumplings are so tasty, with lots of different flavours to try. You can have them boiled, steamed or pan-fried. The noodle dishes are also really good. Great value for...

👍👍 My wife and I have always been fond of their food. The consistency between their different shops (both Dominion Road and Albany) is great. Their authenticity of Sichuan taste is incomparable. Friendly and efficient staff providing excellent customer service. Highly recommended if you haven’t tried....
