    We had a table of 7 and everyone enjoyed their food. Dishes are very reasonably priced and was good value for money. Rain was torrential and staff did their best to make sure people got in and out of the restaurant ok. Staff were attentive and couldn’t do enough to help us. Highlights were the fried sesame prawn dish, the scallop gow gee and the broccolini. Salted caramel fried ice cream dessert was really yummy, a little overpriced at $18 but tasted great. Will definitely visit again
