XinFengMao Chinese BBQ — Restaurant in Howick

Bad service. Giving them one star is too nice. They keep on assuming I speak Chinese and not a single thank you or hello, even when I said it. No mention where water or cutlery are - probably think I will just figured it out like how I figure Mandarin out. Serve food with no cutlery, no cup, and no water offered or direct me to where I can get them.

Meats are dry and over cooked. It was super hard to swallow although I was starving. I ordered enough for 2. I came alone and thought I tried out the food. Asked for takeaway boxes at the end.

We grabbed a few things to share. Their BBQ skewers were really nice. It has a nice charry flavour and is quite tasty. The other items weren't bad. The special spicy chicken with noodles was nice but the chicken was boney. The skewers here are nice but a bit pricy so it can add up pretty fast. It is worth a try...

The restaurant shines with its budget-friendly lunch and dinner specials. These meals are incredibly affordable, offering a complete experience with soup, rice, and 3 main course at $9.9.

Despite the affordable prices, the restaurant doesn't compromise on taste or quality.

The restaurant's popularity is evident during lunchtime, with a steady stream of customers seeking its affordable and delicious fare. While the restaurant has ample seating, it's advisable to plan your timing accordingly, especially during peak hours. Arriving slightly earlier or later can help you avoid the lunchtime rush and ensure a smoother...
