Food is delicious, generous portions and service is fast and friendly. Favourites are the sweet and sour Barra, duck pancakes, and Sichuan green beans. Tonight we had sweet and sour Barramundi, Chinese greens, and vegetarian fried rice. Perfect! A restaurant like this deserves a better location! Street noise is always terrible, the engine noise of motorbikes and suped up P platers is amplified on this street. I think there is always a fire siren.
