This place is fantastic. If the queue out the door from 8 - 10pm doesn't tell you something I don't know what will. The service upstairs is 10 times better than downstairs - book & request a table upstairs - the airconditioning is on upstairs and they don't try and move you on quickly (like they do downstairs).

The food is very hard to fault and having visited China earlier this year, I spent some time talking with the waiters about some dishes that were not on the menu - ask and you will receive - water spinach with garlic (only when it is in season from September) and chilli chicken (served with whole chillis and only for lovers of hot dishes).

From the menu we ordered an absolute feast - chicken with ginger and shallots, black pepper beef, honey king prawns (the biggest prawns I have seen), salt and pepper squid and my all time favourite dish - you have to try this - grandma's bean curd - fresh tofu served in a bowl of thick paste with chilli and shallots - unbelievable.

The food is outstanding and I can't wait to return.
