As a previous reviewer said, this is hidden away and the food is delicious! Sadly the waitress forgot to put through the order for our second dish but we were full enough with just the one, so decided not to wait for the second one after all. Very handy across the road from the caravan park

Classic country town Chinese Restaurant. Couldn't fault the food, tasty and generous portions. Stand out for me was the Sweet and Sour Pork, perfectly simple. Patrick was great, took good care of us. Only thing missing, music, lacked a bit of ambience. We loved it anyway, clean, convenient and tasty.
