β β β β β Possibly one of the very few places open on Christmas Day. Typical Chinese joint with overworked and angry workers who couldnβt seem to care less about service. However, they do their job and thatβs all. It took them 5 mins to notice our presence and another 10 mins to order. The 15% extra charge was clearly stated at the entrance which we have no objections.
Had the venison ginger and spring onion (it was okay but lack of ginger), sweet sour pork (delicious crunchy pork but tad bit too sweet), veggie which was just greens anyway, sour spicy soup. It was more of the comfort food than anything else...
I was super thirsty though after dinner. Drank so much water so I suspect the MSG and sugar used is really, really high. For that, I canβt rate them more than 3 (including the average service).

β β β β β Have been hearing lots about this place, this is my first time actually eating here.
Order some typical yamchar dimsum, honestly, not very impressive.
I think the biggest advantage is the location so they have very good market demand during weekdays.
Don't get me wrong, tastes good, just not impressed to me that's all.

β β β β β Enjoy traditional Chinese cuisine.
Too bad some vegetables are not available in NZ. (e.g. capsicum is used instead of bell peppers).
Up to 10 people can dine at a round table. It is more enjoyable than a regular square table because you can talk while seeing each other's faces and talk together as one group.

β β β β β I have tasted and sampled food from various countries in Auckland but this one caught my attention, as it is considered one of the best Chinese eatery in the city. Located in the heart of CBD, this one I went is an extension to the fine dining restaurant tucked behind this food court facing joint. The mini joint is haven for someone looking for quick lunch and authentic taste of China.
My review of the place: Oh boy! I am happy I made the right decision, the food was scrumptious ? and affordable( cuz it is part of the food court). I have changed my mind with regards to Chinese food (the ones I ate in Mumbai, India is Indian Chinese which caters to the Indian palate). If this is what Chinese food taste like, my next dream destination is Shanghai! (IF we overcome the pandemic ;) PS: The lady who serves there is absolutely courteous and knows the food business!

β β β β β Outstanding Restaurant! We have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. We love this restaurant so much. The food is consistently delicious! We are treated like members of the family! The staff and owners greet us by name, the staff rarely change, they remember what we like on the menu. The best spicy Szechuan style salt and pepper chili dishes: squid, prawns and tofu, and mixed Chinese vegetable dishes. Feeds vegans and meat eaters alike. Great for little kids, families and fussy eaters! Converted our brother who was little Macdonalds Kid at the time to a Chinese Foodie! Highly recommended! A+

β β β β β Service was okay. I find it expensive and servings was small. But the taste especially the beef pepper was really nice.

β β β β β This restaurant was one of the few that were open late on Elliot Street which was convenient. The waiter was very attentive and the food was pretty good but lacked flavour. There were a few vegetarian options on the menu but vegan ones werenβt labeled clearly. One thing that was not ideal is that we were charged an extra $2.50 for rice that would have normally come with a Lo Han Jai (monkβs dish) at other restaurants. The price is also a bit too steep for a restaurant of this quality. Though the venue is quite nice the portion sizes and quality of food served does not quite match the high end dining prices.
Actually the first thing I noticed was that this restaurant serves shark fin and the live lobster tank was at the front of the restaurant so right off the bat I was a little bit repelled. I didnβt ask the staff about these dishes so I canβt comment further on how ethically these were sourced.
Normally I wouldnβt give 4 stars but all things considered this is the most accurate rating I can give.
