    Ask the boss Wilson for his suggestions. This is very good value chinese food, and tastes great.

    There is no effort put in to decor and the food was average and well overpriced. I would not eat here again.

    A great little chinese with fresh food and fast friendly service. Decor is not fantastic, though in summer it's nice to sit out on the terrace.

    Very average. Sometimes that's what you're after when you want a quick takeaway but there's better and cheaper down the road.

    This place used to be great. It's now no more than an average take-away joint. Fab position above the street on the terrace, but the love has gone from the kitchen. Don't bother.

    Went there a few days ago with a large table of 8. The service was ok, the food was great and full of flavour the barramundi was so moist and tasty. The sizzling beef was great every body was happy with this place. Worth the trip to balmain.

    Pretty good food, but very small portions. The service is great, very friendly and prompt staff (but this can be expected with very few people in the restaurant!). Value for money is quite low, we got 3 small dishes with BYO and paid over $50.

    5 - 5 - 5 - 5.....not much more to say than that really - mediocre. We don't normally visit Chinese restaurants outside of Chinatown, but we thought we would give this place a go as it was local. The food was average as was the whole experience.

    Not bad if you want a quick bite, but I would head to Chinatown if you are after something more than average.

    The service was fine, staff quite cheery. Shame the food is of takeaway standard. The love was missing in our dishes.

    I ordered to takeaway on a Thursday night. It was 40 minutes before I left with only two dishes, in saying this there was only one table being occupied. Not sure what was going on. Anyway, the food was very, very average! I ordered Salt and Pepper squid and fried rice. Not happy. Crap batter and the squid was really hard.
    Way way overpriced.
