Description

A beloved local spot in the Timaru/Temuka area, this casual Chinese joint is praised for consistent, affordable food, generous smorgasbord nights and friendly, bubbly service. Standouts include tender lemon chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, beef with black bean and surprisingly good fish-and-chips. Perfect for family takeout or a buffet treat, it draws customers from afar. Minor downsides reported: some frozen vegetable use, occasional inconsistency (wontons) and an isolated report of post-meal illness, but overall the value and flavour keep patrons returning.
