    We had a table of 7 and everyone enjoyed their food. Dishes are very reasonably priced and was good value for money. Rain was torrential and staff did their best to make sure people got in and out of the restaurant ok. Staff were attentive and couldn’t do enough to help us. Highlights were the fried sesame prawn dish, the scallop gow gee and the broccolini. Salted caramel fried ice cream dessert was really yummy, a little overpriced at $18 but tasted great. Will definitely visit again

    The food we had was beautiful (oysters Kilpatrick, duck and salmon). The bowl of fries were overdone too crispy and not hot. It was a busy night and staff were run off their feet, but very friendly. The noise was so loud my husband and I couldn’t hear each other to chat. But, we would dine there again- maybe on a dumpling night.
