I would like to share the experience of my first meal in Queensland as a first time traveler in the sunshine state, decided to visit boa boa hoping for a good Chinese meal, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing from start to finish.
The first red flag came as soon as we sat down. From underneath the lazy Susan on our table, a cockroach scurried out. Needless to say, that didn’t set a very appetizing tone for the meal.

I asked a few questions about different dishes and the waitress was able to answer them all. Food delivered very quickly and portion sizes very big. We had to take a lot with us (always a good thing, means another meal the next night!). Thought the food was very yummy and could not believe the value. Paid the bill, got to the car and went back to check they hadn't undercharged us. Asked them to add up the bill again, but it was correct. Highly recommend. Staff very friendly. Heard other customers say they were back for dinner for a second night in a row, and I...
