Despite there being only one other table with diners when we arrived, our food never arrived despite tables arriving after us getting served and takeaway orders being fulfilled. After more than half an hour and a couple of attempts to follow up on our order we had to concede defeat and left.

  • Jessie W

Very overpriced for its small dishes. The weirdest dish we had was the sweet and sour pork. For some reason, the pork was deep fried and served separately to the sweet and sour sauce with veggies. Definitely doesn’t seem like very authentic food. Go to Chatswood or Eastwood instead!

  • J G

Foods were quite authentic Canto flavour. Happy hour $5 beer is awesome. Dislikes: foods were served in tapas sizes.The 3 of us spent $92 (only 1 beer and no other beverages) yet we left feeling less than full. Bill is definitely 20% overpriced. Worth a try but no more next time.

Very unpleasent experiance, the food is rather genuine Cantonese somewhat, but the attitude of its owners is shocking to say the least, especially when I speak the language and understand what he was saying. He is not in Hong Kong, but Sydney Australia.

  • J Choo

we had steamed giant oysters, pippies with fried bee hoon, stir fried seasonal veg & a soupy beef & tomato omelette. Every dish was good! the complimentary milk tea was strong and tofu-fa was silky smooth, both not too sweet which was great.

  • Stephen Lloyd-Jones

A very handy venue for a Monday night. Tucked in behind the old Gordon GPO there's a good selection of Chinese classics served by friendly staff. Take advantage of Dine and Discover vouchers and a half-price Happy Hour Cocktail. Or have two!

  • MomoBB Rodriguez-Bean

Forgot 4 of our dishes, were out of stock of many things, cocktail bar was shut, and we were lied to about how many items were included in the yum cha dishes and service was incredibly slow. We were a large table and we saw many many tables

  • Tegan Fairleigh

Although it's a little pricey for portion sizes, the staff are lovely, the food is amazing, and it's all served quite quickly. We also had a coeliac in our group and they were very well informed about their food - not only was the soy sauce

  • Marco Lopresti

There are so many things going against this place. Location. The fact that they haven't touched the fitout since taking over. The menus are confusing and there are too many of them. But damn the food is good. Best Chinese food in the upper

  • Rudy Gunawan

This is another attempt to have a bar and restaurant at the site, this time with pan-Asian cuisine, though with a hint of Cantonese style of cooking. The menu is short but they provide variety of alcohol drinks if you'd like to have some.

  • Tracey C

We are seriously considering taking legal action against this place and its owner for extreme racisim, over 1 hour waiting to be served, while every Asian customer was seated, served food, we waited , waited and waited, we confronted the

  • Dennis Wan

Went on a Sunday lunch, it was relatively packed. Food was coming out fairly quick but found taking the order quite slow and had to get their attention 3 times (1 person serving and taking orders).

  • Richard Hutchinson

Good quality Chinese food (Cantonese) at a reasonable price point. All of the dishes we’ve tried have been good. Not too oily nor too salty (like most of the restaurants in Chatswood).

  • Lei Pei

Ordered delivery, some of the dish portion between the delivery and dine in is half the size but the same price, also didn’t received part of the order. Misleading menu.

  • Tom Li

Below average food with hiked up prices. 70$ for a chicken dish where the potatoes weren't even fully cooked, mid vegetable dish and 1 bowl of rice. Not worth it. More

  • 金三順

Very expensive and pay card high surcharges fee, Foods Taste so so ,Hong Kong style tea restaurant food but high-end restaurant charges, lower service. More

  • Wulala Asabulu

Had Set Menu B, volume is generous that feed family of four well, but the quality of the ingredients were not compromised and we were very satisfied!

  • David Matthews

Only bar we could find in Gordon that was open by the station. Surprisingly good, nice layout inside or shopping centre. Friendly service too

  • feli -_- city

The food wasn't horrible but it took a really long time to arrive. It was my second time eating at this restaurant and I was disappointed.

  • RedMi Note4G (JF)

In my opinion this restaurant is a mixed bag due to only one reason - too small a kitchen for the number of tables they have.

  • WanLi Ho

Food are all very delicious and big portion. Very authentic !! Will definitely go back again and again. More
