The food was great value and delicious. Between us we had the prawn dumplings, pork wontons, vegetarian rolls, and chicken/pork wonton soup. Plus $8 for corkage. Total was around $60.

It amazes me that these types of businesses still operate when there are so many good quality businesses in Hobart now! Do they actually understand the power of response??

We had not visited in a while so decided it was worth a return. It was almost full on a Wednesday, which we took as a good sign.This was a mistake.Unlike others the waitress was fine, she took our orders and service was solid through out the meal. The meal though was very ordinary. Though not expensive it is not cheap. Most dishes start at 19$ and go up. Seafood the most expensive.As a party of 5 we shared several mains. The fried rice was a strange grey colour that detracted from the eating. The soy honey chicken was acceptable but had very little taste of honey. The 5 spice pork in pottery was simply bland, way way over cooked. Pepper fried beef was the best of a very average meal. The duck with sweet sour pineapple sauce was horrid. It looked like and tasted like the chef had dropped all of a bottle of tomato sauce into it with a dash of vinegar. Very ordinary.To top it off the beer was warm.Sadly will not be returning unless we here that get their act together.

I chose Hejo rather than any of the other food stalls because of the menu it presented on the night. My decision was not disappointing. Essentially a Sichuan chicken wrap with salads etc. It was delicious.Although not table service the staff worked remarkable well, and cheerfully, in serving the hundreds of patrons that nightIf my experience on the night was any guide I will find my way to the restaurant when next in Hobart
