"We Stopped in for the first time and tried their sweet and sour chicken which was delicious and nice small crunchy pieces and their combination fried rice which was really good too. The service was good. The food didn’t take very long to come out either."

"On holiday to New Zealand and finally found a spearmint milkshake here after searching for years!!! Massive range of milkshake flavours, all ginormous and soooo tasty - finished before we got back home lol. Fish burgers were crispy and delicious, cheeseburgers about what you'd expect from a coastal takeaway, but the main attraction was the AMAZING fried mussels !!! Crispy and not oily at all, will be yearning for them forever. Customer service was amazing, everyone was super attentive and friendly. Amazing end to the day :)"

"It does what it says. The food is good but the atmosphere is cold and toooo quiet. Maybe a tv or radio in the background would improve ambiance."

"It’s not a fancy atmosphere but food was really good. My husband and I walked in just before it was about to close and they still accommodated us and prepared 2 meals for us. One of the tastiest Chinese I have had in my life. It was a very quick service, humble staff and welcoming. I will highly recommend this place."
