Service:
Well it was not too brilliant, I think the waiter must have been a student as he did not know very much. Ordered a bottle of the Wyndham Estate 1828 Semillon Blanc and returned with a Wyndham Bin 555 Shiraz. O well no problem the 555 is a very good rich plum Shiraz so we had that instead of. Wine glasses were more like large port glasses. This was going to be an interesting dinning experience. The service was adequate but far from professional, well if I am going to be a snob this is Mudgeeraba after all. ( yer I will get into trouble over that one )
Presentation:
The food was as good if not better than I have found in Hong Kong or any Chinese restaurant I have found in Sydney or the Gold Coast . We ordered a combinations of dishes including a chicken beef cooked in the Szechwan style ( always my favorite ). The menu also supported Thai and Malaysian . The menu was very good and wine list was not that bad either.
Wine List:
Reasonable
Value for
Money:
Prices were very VERY good for meals of
this quality. Nearly all the main courses were near $13 or $14.00 . Great value.
Ambience:
A little dark and eerier , it was not too bad, it was just that there was nothing great to talk about . Very much the typical red decor.
The feel
good factor:
Absolutely terrific food at great prices. Would I come back ! You bet I would just to pig out. There is nothing too sophisticated about the place but you can not beat the value for money. When I need a fix of Chinese cuisine you will know where I will be.
( It would have been 5 with better
service and ambience.)
