One absolute gem of a place in Newcastle. I have been here so many times that I have lost the count now and I have recommended this place to a lot of my friends in NCL. I absolutely love their Chinese food and the ambience is so peaceful and amazing. All Chinese food lovers, please visit this place for the love of food
Stumbled across this place on a hungover Sunday afternoon. I’m not local so I didn’t know where to eat. But my god was it a good choice. Hands down the best Chinese I’ve ever eaten. Once I walked in and was offered a Chinese or English menu and the place full of Asian families enjoying Sunday dinner i knew I was onto a winner. Super clean open kitchen too. We stuffed ourselves and didn’t feel overly full or thirsty like you do after a Chinese. All the meat was fall off the bone tender and fresh. Duck was amazing.

I am looking for "authentic" Cantonese style food in Newcastle. The 1 other "recommended" restaurant inside Chinatown was booked for a wedding. A local Chinese told me to visit this restaurant a short walk from Chinatown.
I ordered exclusively 3 seafood dishes: scallops, Rock crab, and shrimps. The scallops are cooked as good as anywhere else (if not better). The rock crab is only OK and spicy for a Cantonese person. It stayed in the oil fryer too long and meat is very dry and it took away from the crab flavors. I asked the shrimps peeled (otherwise they come with shells). The shrimps are so salty that I only ate a few.
Being over-critical and a bit unfair to the restaurant, I do believe the food is "authentic" Chinese. If I ordered careful and communicate my preference better, I do believe that I can have a better experience.
One side note. When paying the bill, the waiter told me that they only accepted cash or debit. I rebutted either credit card or not paying; he reluctantly agreed to let me tap with my credit card. He did add a surcharge to my bill which isn't a big deal to me. I believe what the restaurant did is totally against Visa/MC policy.
