“ Delicious, hot Chinese food with speedy and friendly service! Generous portions for a great price. Great variety of Chinese dishes and I look forward to returning to try more. Highly recommended if you are in the Waterloo area! ”
“ Fantastic gem of a restaurant in a lovely little spot near Waterloo Station. Always look for an excuse to pop in or grab a takeaway. Staff extremely pleasant once they get used to you; I like that better to be honest, rather than false friendliness ”
“ Don't let the interesting name steer you wrong. This is definitely Asian food culture! We had great service from our server, Kevin. The food literally came out from the kitchen in 5 minutes. Wonderfully fresh and authentic. One dish we tried was the chicken chow mien. Noodles were soft. Onions cooked with a perfect crunch, and the sauce complimented the chicken well. The second dish was spicy Szechuan prawns that had just the right amount of sweet heat paired with fried rice. The restaurant was very clean with 5 tables occupied on a Monday night. Kevin took time to answer all of our tourist questions and was a joy to speak with. I will definitely try this place again before we leave! I hope it will warm up to enjoy their outdoor seating area. ”

“ Food: very tasty as if we are back in Asia. I don’t think msg was added at all. According to my hubby, the laksa seafood noodles tasted like what he used to have in Burma. I love their **super tender ** beef belly rice. Services: the owner is from HK years ago. Super friendly and patience to introduce the dishes. The waitress is very attentive to guests Atmosphere: best family and friends gatherings place after work. ”
“ Love this place, been coming here for years whenever I am in the area, usually going to the Old Vic or the Young Vic. I always get the fried green beans to start and then Singapore Noodles as my main. Everyone's got their favourite -- my friends get Ho Fun or black bean beef. The staff is always really nice, and our waitress triple-checked that our veggie dish person would be OK with eggs. The kitchen is fast and they cook to order. Excellent value and a happy vibe in there because everyone is having delicious food! ”
