Yesterday the crispy noodles were nice (Cantonese food), but the Singapore fried noodles and the char kway teow were very underseasoned, and the latter wasn't charred at all (I don't think the cook was very familiar with Singaporean or Malaysian dishes). When I last ate there a year ago, the food had more taste. The dine in noodle and rice dishes are generously portioned. I haven't tried the mainland Chinese dishes such as ma po tofu, but maybe they will taste more authentic. (What follows is the remainder of my earlier review: "This is what you can get for ~$40 to take away. The second pictures shows possibly 1/4 duck underneath the pork. The duck, roast pork and BBQ pork were just as good as anywhere else. I am not aware of much local competition, so you would probably have to go to Glen Waverley or Clayton if you wanted a whole duck for ~$32.")

Came here for lunch and ordered a rice combo (C9 - rice with Sichuan style pork slices). The staff were super friendly and the food came out fairly quickly too. When it arrived I was shocked at how big the portion is and had to even double check that it was my order. It was a giant mountain of delicious soy sauce rice with lots of juicy pork slices. The portion could easily be for two people, I could only finish half of it and took the other half away as takeaway. And all for under $20!!! What a great spot for a delicious meal that’s such amazing value!

Reservation was easy by phone. When we got there we asked for a different table because the reserved one was at the entrance. After this request, the experience was all down hill. Middle aged Chinese guy with glasses started becoming rude and kept looking at us the whole time. The way he spoke was rude as well. I mean we could have left but we already paid for the food so might as well eat it there. They’ll give you the menu and go to the cashier to order and pay. Tall, thin, young, asian lady at the cashier was kinda rude too (what’s up with this place). We came here coz of google maps search for asian food and it had heaps of reviews with a high rating but come on you gotta have good service at least. So, I guess I found out how they got heaps of reviews. There are signs in the restaurant for a free coke if you review them in google ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, go figure. We had roast duck(too salty), pan fried dumplings (a bit dry, flavor okay), Shanghai pork dumplings (okay), sliced beef noodle soup (okay), stir fry beans with minced pork (good), crispy roast pork noodle soup (pork was good, noodle and soup okay), deep fried prawn (very good). Ambience, really can’t say much other than the fact that glasses guy kept staring at us so we can’t really enjoy our food. The good thing though was there was 1 small lady staff that at least tried to smile and refill our water and they gave us free take away containers. We felt unwelcome at this restaurant just because of the overall vibe of the staff except for one. Anyway, I guess they’re the only Asian restaurant in this parts of Victoria so no choice. But, if you could find one with a better service maybe don’t go here unless you really like the deep fried prawn and you can’t get it anywhere else. Cheers. Hope this helps others who checks ratings and reviews before going.

I go to this place at least once a month and spend between $200-$350 on take away for my family dinner. Always been great. Last nite went there and the food was very very under whelming. Fried Rice used to be my favourite... now its so bland and less filling. The portions used to be full in the containers and now they're just a tad more than half full. The price increase is so dramatic and I don't mind it as long as I get the same quality and quantity. My Mapo Tofu was sinking in liquid and extremely oily as if it was an oily tofu soup!! Mongolian beef and Mongolian chicken were only half filled in the container and so much onions. Like literally swimming in onions!! Tasteless as well Brought it back and they tried to cook me another mapo Tofu and still very very oily and only a bit more than half full in the container. I told them what's going on. Do yoh hve a new chef? Manager said all staff are the same. The manager went back 3 x to try to remedy my mapo Tofu but the results were the same. His overall demeanour wasn't great. So I just took it home and can't wait any longer as I was starving !!! When you spend that much money you expect quality and same quantity especially the outrageous price hike. It's very very disappointing. My sons and.their espective girlfriend's family goes there at least once a wk to dine in and sometimes take out. Will not go back there again. Good luck is all I can say. Wendy ... the owner used to be there and food was great. Now he is not present his whole restaurant is going down hill. The ladies who works there were great tho.

ALL THESE 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE A SCAM FOR A FREE DRINK! Meals are over priced and small. No customer service at all, dodgy pay cash discounts, and FAKE REVIEWS Cane here for Mother’s Day dinner, with my 2 young children and aunty. Asked the waiter if I could swap the “stools” for proper chairs which he hesitated but did. I went to go pay and the “manager” told me that next time they won’t be swapping the chairs for me. I was tempted in that moment to not eat there, but we had already chosen and my kids were hungry. I paid CASH for a 10% discount. YAY FOR ME, NOT! I went to take my daughter to the bathroom and when I got back 5 minutes later my seat had been swapped to the stool. At this point I was angry, and I did not want to give this business my money. I went up to the counter and asked to speak to the manager and a young girl said that she was. I told here how rude that was, and she just kept saying that is “policy”. I’m sorry but that makes no sense at all. There is no such thing as a chair policy 😂 they strictly want 2 stools and 2 chairs at each table. They have no customer service skills at all. I was shocked.

It's not a weekend but Friday, as we work from home we decided to rest our kitchen and head out for lunch. Service & Ambience [3.5]. Their service in general was good. Quick is the word. I found inside the restaurant slightly tight space especially for the tables near the servinge area. What's good is we got 30% discount for paying cash. Food [3]. I would say average for now but won't rule out coming back again. The CKT (fried quay teow) portion is generous (well the price is the most expensive CKT we ever had, and lucky to have the discount). The CKT doesn't have the "wok hei" that I am after. The crispy noodle portion is also generous, again it's price is on the high side. Slightly salty. We might return for their roast duck, as they seems tasty and hanging there shouting - me, me! Eating out is never cheap and the add on of cards surcharge makes you want to bring cash to pay.
