Delivery - Edit
We ordered through Uber Eats and the food arrived piping hot. Everything was very good- corn soup, shiitake mushroom stir fry, mushroom roulades. Nicely done. Flavorful but not pinch you in the face. Just very pleasant flavors. Would order all 3 again.

Madness - Edit
Way too noisy to enjoy food that took 45 minutes to arrive, staff kept bumping the table as they rushed past.Had to ask three times for cutlery and a glass of water.

Tasty Asian food - Edit
I ate really well, so much so that I went back for lunch. Delicious Asian-flavored dishes. If you go to Sydney, I absolutely recommend it! (Plus, the lady is very kind and happy to recommend what to eat.)… try pepper tofu!

Huge menu - Edit
So hard to decide what to have here. I started with the 'pork' buns which were one of my favourites before I was vegan. They were just as good as I remember. Next I had a stir fry dish with gluten and vegetables. It had a nice flavour.

Hidden gem - Edit
I've lived in Sydney for over six months and now nine years later I find this lovely hidden gem whilst on vacation here. The service is amazing. We ordered take out and got a free cup of Jasmin tea to drink while we were waiting.
Read moreThe food was full of flavour and a good portion. Not too much so we would have food waste but enough to feel nice and full. There was a lot of choice and the inside of the restaurant looked very cozy. I only saw smiling faces from the other customers.
Pros: Great food, Free pot of Jasmin tea, Lovely staff

Lovely bun - Edit
Stopped in for a snack. Had a bao bun which was lovely and filled with love. We also tried this sampler which had a spring roll and some bites of their proteins. If we had more time in Sydney, we'd go back for a proper meal for sure.

Mixed bag but when it’s good it’s SO GOOD - Edit
Firstly, shout out to the warm, lovely service - was like being welcomed into somebodies home.
Read moreOrdered a variety of dishes and it was all fair to middling, except the stir fried champing konyaku & soy pastry which was downright delicious. If I lived closer I’d eat it all the time.
Based on this being on the recommended dishes menu, I’d pick exclusively from there next time.
