Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I had an amazing experience dining here! The food was absolutely delicious. Every bite woke up my taste buds and kept them wanting more. The ambience is lovely, warm, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. The location is another big plus. right on the western edge of the city, close to Chinatown, and they stay open till late night, which is a lifesaver. One small warning though: be careful with the dry chillies… they mean business! Hehe! But honestly, it just adds to the fun and flavor of the place. Definitely worth a visit! Food in the picture: - Beer Braised Duck ($30.80) - Creamy Prawn ($28.80) - King Prawn & Squid in Hot & Spicy Sauce ($28.80)"
"Our first time here and we will certainly be back regularly. We were greeted, waited on and served promptly by genuinely lovely staff. The food we ordered was all vegetarian. As soon as our waiter identified this he commented on it to make sure the order was correct. He also offered to make everything extra spicy once we mentioned loving things extra hot. The food itself.. well there's not much to say because it's hard to describe just how good it is. Truly 5 stars. Cannot fault anything. Beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended."
"To be fair, this is an out of context 5. A place that's open after midnight and has a kitchen this good, deserves a 5, but we have to keep perspective. If you're longing for real, late night, Chinese cuisine; the kind you remember from long ago or far away, this is a place you should have on your go-to list! Order appropriately, you won't be disappointed. On a second visit, I'm likely to upgrade this to a real, hard 5. First impressions were very nice. Stir fry bbc, e-shand eggplant and the Hokkien noodles, just lovely. Perfect, late night, warm hug. Good tea also. Bring 2 friends."
"I love this place. Been coming for years and I love that it’s open late. Very needed in the city. It’s seriously my fave Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. Too many fave dishes. Pete is the best!"
"the food is good for share and its pretty cozy to gathering with friends or family, love spicy pork with dried chilli"
"This pub like styled Chinese restaurant is so warm feeling. The food was absolutely amazing with dishes no lower than 9/10 perfect texture, taste all combined for an unforgettable experience. Will definitely be back & recommend this restaurant"
"Last night’s dining experience was enjoyable overall! The food was delicious fresh, flavorful, and well portioned. The service was also excellent, our server was attentive and friendly. However, the only downside was the temperature inside. While I understand it was a scorching +40°C day outside, the restaurant felt uncomfortably warm throughout our meal. A stronger AC or better ventilation would have made the experience perfect, especially on such a hot evening. Despite this, I’d still return for the great food and service just maybe on a cooler day"
"Spacious dining area with lots of seatings. Open late which is a plus. Quite a few spicy options but there are also non spicy ones. Overall tasted good. Dumplings were big but skin wasn't crispy for the fried ones and the skin is too thick. The deep fried food are quite crispy. Would say its more to the expensive side"
