  Decent Chinese restaurant. Food was tasty and inexpensive, and not greasy as in some establishments. Price was right and we were served with a smile.

  We enjoyed our experience here on a Saturday lunch. For starters we had dumplings and a wonton soup. The dumplings were nice but would have definitely been better pan fried and the soup was very peppery. I would not recommend either of these starters as they currently are - some slight tweeks and they would be great! Our mains however - were brilliant. We got French Beans, Satay Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken. All of these came with a rice side - we chose egg fried rice which was very fresh and tasty. It was a good portion per dish, you will not need any extra! The French Beans were lovely - fried beans with pork mince and chilli - absolutely delicious and I would recommend trying if you haven't. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was freshly fried chicken which was still crispy in the sauce when bought to our table - again really nice. Finally the Satay Chicken was good - if you like satay, please get this dish. The style here is a lot more 'westernised' than a lot of Chinese restaurants - chopsticks are not on the table as standard and there are western tea cups when ordering Chinese tea (lovely by the way!). The meals are designed more towards each person ordering their own meal than a more traditional - lots of plates and pick at everything eating experience. Overall I would recommend eating here as our main meals were lovely and I will be visiting again.

  I went for lunch and had the lunch special. The food was very good, I had a noodle soup thing, reasonably priced. The decor was very tired though. Service was quick. It's an out-of-place Chinese restaurant surrounded by hipster coffee shops and a fresh supermarket. It probably won't last much longer before being bought by a trendy chain so cherish it while it's there

  We do cook a fair bit of nice Chinese at home so i do not usually opt for eating at this specific type of restaurants. Just before Christmas we went out for a lunch with colleagues to Crystal Boat, and I ordered Szechuan prawns. Prawns were done beautifully but that's were it more or less ended. The sauce tasted like it was made from sweet chili sauce - nothing Szechuan in sight. I do like onion but not when it is used as a "veg" extender - beside onions there were two pieces of carrot and two pieces of green capsicum...
