Chinese should have fresh veges and fresh meat. Dont bother waisting good money on rubbish.

The business is closed on Mondays. Recommended for a flavourful meal. One of the best in the area.

The Mongolian combination was delicious, as was the sweet and sour pork. I'll visit again if I'm down that way again.

I recently moved and needed a quick dinner, so I ordered fried dim sum, garlic king prawns, chicken and corn soup, and special fried rice. The special fried rice was anything but special—just some frozen diced ham thrown in. The soup was inedible; it was tasteless and had a gelatinous texture that I couldn't finish. The prawns were frozen, which is surprising considering there's a prawn co-op right next door. What are they thinking? This will definitely be the last time we order from here.

They also gave us a bag of prawn crackers, which didn't last long on the way home! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. My only complaint was that the special fried rice had very little added to it—just a bit of sauce and some chopped ham. There were no vegetables, no eggs, and no prawns. It was still tasty, but it really lacked substance. Despite that, I would definitely return. Additionally, the young girl who took our order was very efficient and did a great job; she even offered to bring our food to the car. Our order was ready quickly, too.
