Very traditional taste! Large portion! And the pan fried dumpling was amazing! Not too greasy and light! Highly recommend!
Harriet Zhao, 9 months agoWe had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, everything felt just right, clean, cozy, and welcoming. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish we ordered was full of flavor, freshly prepared, and served hot. The portions were generous, and the menu had a great variety of classic and authentic Chinese dishes to choose from. You can really tell that quality ingredients and attention to detail go into every plate. What made the visit even better was the amazing service.
cc clothingph, a year agoAbsolutely what I needed after a freezing cold night in Christchurch. Busy restaurant bustling with Chinese people who know authentic food. Ordered a bubbling pot of prawn and pork congee, which was perfect. Jealous of all the good food Other tables were having. Looked like authentic chao zhou dishes
