We think this is the best Chinese in Townsville. The only place we feel like going to since moving up here from Melbourne. If you come early enough you may even hear the chef sing :-) The chef knows all the tricks required to prepare quality Chinese food, this is not your fast-food shopping centre style, amatour cooking.
p.s. I recommend that people read the menu before ordering and commenting, as some of the negative reviews on here are like from bogans complaining that wine tastes too grapey lol There is "Fried Rice" and there is a "Special Fried Rice", both of these have steam rice in it, it's actually healthier this way.

Overall it was the worst Chinese Meal we have ever had. Completely...
