We made a reservation for 10, and were considerately arranged to be seated in a private room.
We ordered 10 dishes. The prices here are amongst the cheapest, yet the quality and portions are by no means cheap—exceptional quality and filling portions!
It took awhile for the dishes to arrive, but we were completely satisfied when the first dish arrived, which was the Charcoal Fish (炭火烤鱼). It’s basically a whole fish in a big metal tray in chilli oil; perfect for a cold windy night like today.
Next was the Mongolian Lamb Chops; the plate was literally empty within 2 minutes flat. Tender and almost boneless, the subtly smokiness and slight crispness of the outer won everyone over.
Next was the Big Plate Chicken (大盘鸡), which everyone was raving about once again. Tender chicken with the chewy flat noodles—beautiful.
Couldn’t remember what came out next but everything was cooked faultlessly. And that’s coming from an extremely picky Chinese family who’s been to Chinese restaurants all around Auckland 😂.
Amongst the others we got Dry Pot Intestines (干锅大肠), Honey Garlic Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Sweet and Sour Whole Fish (松鼠鱼), Fried Squid with Salty Yolk (蛋黄鱿鱼), Cashew Chicken, Eggplant and Beans.

They gave us a complementary Fruit Platter free of charge, as some Chinese restaurants do if you have a big group and order lots of dishes.

Service was also really friendly, we got to meet the Chef himself who is very outgoing! Other than the cutlery and plates/bowls being self serviced, the experience here was good! The bill came to $210.
