How we read reviews →Long-running South Yarra Cantonese with crispy roast duck, crackling pork and live seafood
Old-school Cantonese dining room that is busy, loud and no-frills. Tight seating, tanks of live seafood and a brisk, get-on-with-it rhythm rather than a romantic or refined mood.
Live seafood tanks (barramundi, crab, lobster), a roast meat counter, complimentary hot tea, rice served in pots, lunch deals and a broad menu of roasts, soups, dumplings and wok dishes.
Reviewers repeatedly call it authentic Hong Kong-style Cantonese, including visitors familiar with Guangzhou and Hong Kong, though one such diner found it below par.
Roast meats and lunch deals are praised as good value. Others find prices have crept up: a $48 fried rice, market-priced crab that inflated a group bill, and a weekend surcharge drew complaints.
