I would say it's a Chinese restaurant I would visit again in SB. When you taste the common dishes most of other SB Chinese restaurants make, it's like you ask someone to scratch a specific spot your back but they never reach the right location you want them to. But at this restaurant they actually do a good job. Not the best but good enough to be rated top notch Chinese restaurant in SB.
It was my first time, so I ordered small quantities of food. Shrimp with vegetable and a small bowl of chicken soup. The food is healthy. It tastes like homemade food.
Amazing food and the service was brilliant
