For me this is the definition of your average Chinese food. And I'm saying this as someone who really enjoys Chinese food. This is a small eatery that serves authentic Chinese but just like every cuisines here are different levels. For me this is the pub food of Chinese shops, far from high end cuisine but still full of flavour.
The dishes are served in plain plates and there is no decoration or any attention to presentation. My friend asked why the menu photos looked bad and after we got our food we realised that they looked exactly like what you get; well cooked tasty food that looks like it was cooked and plated by your mom, not a chef.
I did enjoy my lunch though and I'd happily eat there again but when you visit keep in mind that you are going to a neighbourhood eatery not a high end restaurant.
I'm Chinese and had my doubts about this place, but finally decided to try it after my flatmates' raves about it got to me. I got some soup dumplings, which were too thick-skinned and rather tasteless, but the broth and the price made up for it. Generous quantities, not so much quality - but that's what you'd expect from the looks of it anyway. It's owned by Chinese people but features all sorts if pan-Asian dishes, some of them not really Asian at all. Can't say much for the authenticity but I guess it could be much worse.
