A great cute venue in a quiet part of East Maitland, really great service and the food is very fresh and tasty. Very much traditional Aussie Chinese menu but everything a step up from most Chinese takeaway is done really well. We had the oriental platter , satay king prawns , fried pork with plum sauce and fried rice - everyone was awesome and good portion.
