My first impression of the place was the curt and, frankly, grumpy older staff member who took us to our table. Otherwise the food was fine and served rapidly but the tables where we sat were too close together. Just as well we don't consider COVID a thing anymore.
Good service, great food. Very busy restaurant. Pan fried pork dumplings,sate chicken,veggie fried rice,salt & pepper squid,honey chicken,slow cooked pork belly Taiwanese. All food came out quickly and tasted great.
Great restaurant if you want real, fresh Chinese food. The service is very fast but not very welcoming. Some waiters barely speak English. The overall experience is not very "elegant" BUT if don't care about esthetic and you want good food at the right price, this is the place to go. The steamed and pan fried dumplings are to die for!

Right in the heart of Canberra CBD. It may get busy during holidays; hence, not too fast service.
The place has a nice atmosphere, though.
The food is very good. Good dumplings experience - both fried and boiled.
The hotpot tasted nice as well with the rice. It was beef with brown sauce.

Rushed in after waited for half an hour, got told by the usher to finish within an hour.
Ordered fried pork dumplings. š„ showed up, not handmade, the small-around size indicating they are mass-produced frozen dumplings boiled first then pan fried.
No black vinegar on table, only red vinegar available.
Also ordered chicken-veggie stir-fry and a beef dish. Both average 6/10.
Maybe itās the lack of local competition, otherwise I donāt understand why the place is so busy.

We went there for the first time. We tried the duck pancake, Shanghai dumplings, combination pan fried and beef boiled dumplings. All were nice and delicious. Beef was definitely the winner. Duck was okay, donāt have to have that one again. The Shanghai dumplings are juicy and freshly made. The service was friendly and fast. The restaurant itself is a bit packed.
