How we read reviews →Malvern's family-run Cantonese kitchen delivering classic dim sum, Peking duck and live seafood with genuine warmth.
A neighbourhood Chinese restaurant with about 15 tables, Chinese landscape ink paintings along the walls and an unhurried feel. Lighting is bright, décor is modest, but the family hospitality. led by host Tina and Chef Neil Huang. gives it a genuine warmth that draws loyal regulars and large group bookings.
Live fish and lobster tanks on-site. Private room available for milestone events (accommodates up to 70 guests). BYO wine welcome. Dan Murphy's is close by. Family-run by Chef Neil Huang (kitchen) and wife Tina (front of house).
Described by reviewers as China-style Cantonese rather than the sweeter Westernised versions. Chef Huang's cooking reflects classical technique. roast pork rendered to crispy crackling, Peking duck with traditional pancake service, and Cantonese dim sum prepared fresh.
Mixed sentiment. supporters praise quality and value for money, particularly for non-premium dishes (around $30-$38 for mains). Critics flag portion sizes and prices for premium items (live lobster $88+, eye fillet $38+). Best value strategy is to avoid live seafood and focus on roast meats and stir-fry mains.
