We were greeted by the owner as if long lost friends. The food, authentic and of the highest quality. I loved the S&S pork and the Chix-noodles best, but was all top notch. Food came out fast and hot and at a fair price. I live in another city but have my Christchurch Chinese go-to now!
Really special place we’ve been going to for years. The owners are lovely. One of them is the chef and they make sure everything is fresh and the oil is changed regularly and the front desk lady is welcoming and always remembers your name
Excellent restaurants serving high-quality noodles. The chicken dish was a bit dry but had a unique flavour, and I especially enjoyed the Korean-style black bean noodles. The owner was very considerate and kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Absolutely impressive 100% recommend! As a Taiwanese native tongue, I found the dishes not only suited to Asian tastes but also appealing to Eastern palates in general. The flavors were so authentic they reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. On top of that, the host was incredibly hospitable and kind, recommending many great places for us to visit. A truly wonderful experience! I will rate 10/10 of my experience in Aussie and NZ.
The owner is so friendly and welcoming, the food was made quickly and tasted so good, 10/10 recommended!
Wonderful place~ Slow music and real flowers on the table. Definitely will pop down here again ~
Korean style chines food like black bean noodles and spicy seafood noodles were good with sweet and sour porks.
If your looking for good food your at the right place! Really AMAZING place! The food is out of this world, Great wontons,spring rolls, fried rice, fried noodles, lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork! And lots of other foods! The staff are so lovely and they enjoy having customers and making you feel so welcome! Been going there for 16 years!
Very nice and pleasant serving lady, felt very welcome. However, as a SE Asia tourist having a quick bite, I might have ordered the not so popular dish. The stir fry beef flat noodle is too oily, and the beef slices were a bit over cooked and tough. Their business was not bad, most probably they have their own popular specialties that appeal to the local.
