Recommended by a local we thought we would try out the new king - seated and served real quick - quality of food was OK - would mirror other reviews of the food - charged for containers to take home left overs which I always find cheeky!!

Another Chinese that has nothing fresh in the kitchen . If you like your food frozen or pre cooked and micro waved then you'll like this place. We ordered a selection of dim sum....twelve items, all but two deep fried. A selection of the worst supermarket quality spring rolls, wontons , prawn toast etc...For mains we ordered prawns in black-bean sauce and bbq pork. No sooner had the entree arrived then the mains were plonked down. Huge portions of very unappetising fatty pork with a large bowl of industrial sauce alongside a tasteless prawn dish plus two large serves of rice. I really struggle to understand how this place has such good reviews. Oh yes the final negative , I was constantly reminded when asking for, receiving and paying the bill that service is not included.

Terribly disappointed! Read so many good reviews, but the experience today was not good. Service was quick. Ordered a dumpling soup and it came out in literally 2 minutes. Makes me think it was microwaved or it was already set up. Inside of the dumpling were mushy. It only counted 4 dumplings. Then I ordered a plate with fried rice with 3 mixed meats. Meat was dry and tasteless. Only the rice was edible. What can I say? Popular location is probably it. The food was not up to expectations and the service was kinda cold.

The egg noodle soup is a must try. The BBQ pork is flavored well. Haven't had a good wonton n BBQ pork noodle in a very long time.

My friend and I went to this restaurant after shopping. We felt really hungry and wanted to have a big meal, but we felt a little bit disppointed after tasting, because every dish is bland(maybe these are not thir speciality). The service does need to be improved. When we came in, every waiter seemed to busy too serve us.And they didn't not have the positive attitude for customers.
