DOMI SICHUAN SNACKS/哆咪四川小吃 — Restaurant in Christchurch

I really liked when I first walked in, the atmosphere, from the walk hangings, the quirky seats and tables, from the antique sewing machines, so much personality and interesting things to look at.

DOMI Sichuan Snacks serves up some seriously delicious food I had the Kung Pao Chicken, and it was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and left me wanting more. The staff were incredibly friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
