The family-run establishment is praised for its genuine flavors and seafood offerings, including the unique option of sourcing local catches upon request.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Darwin. The owners have been here, from Guangzhou originally, and have been operating for 15 years. Great seafood quality and selection. Can even do catch and cook. Or if you want some local fresh fish/crabs, just call and request beforehand and they will source for you. Seriously, not a fancy restaurant, but absolute top quality.

Small family run restaurant hidden in suburbs. More takeaway then dine in type of restaurant. Hence the 2 stars for atmosphere . More importantly good tasting food and proportion size. Would come back again.

A few very social and chatty serviceable staff. Very popular with locals and car needed; lots of carpark. Make a Reservation!! The food was good and not spicy (we wanted spicy). The flavours were mild, noticeable but not memorable. Still enjoyable dishes with color. Beef pepper dish was memorable, some of the grilled squids were saltier, the roast duck (Not Peking) was acceptable. Overall an enjoyable dining experience. Great for a group event, very warm and small. No bus stop nearby. Pick up orders possible.

The food was excellent and at a good price. The atmosphere is very interesting, definitely a classic Darwin experience. But think carefully before you order the sizzling beef. It's extremely sizzley.
