Hidden gem downtown! I passed in front of this place sooo many times & never knew what I was missing.

Went for lunch with collegues. We shared 2 starters & 2 meals. Mouth watering chicken, fried chicken with sechuan spices, the beef rice bown & the dandan noodles. Service was quick, everything was great!!

Favorites were the fried chicken & the dandan but you shouldn't sleep on the rice bowl, the crispy rice at the bottom is worth it.

Wow! Boyfriend brought me cause he wanted to eat. I wasn't even that hungry & I ate quite a bit of the beef & crispy rice bowl. Easily one of the best dishes I've ever had. AMAZING!

We found this restaurant by chance, & it turned out to be a great surprise. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, & the prices were very reasonable.

The Cold Chicken was our favorite. The flavorful oil sauce was absolutely delicious, & we even poured some over the Clay Pot Rice, which made it even better. The rice was well seasoned, & the crispy layer at the bottom was the perfect finishing touch.

The Fried Pork was also excellent. Instead of the usual soy-based dipping sauce, it came with a seasoned powder that was unique & surprisingly tasty.

Overall, we had a wonderful meal & will definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommended!

This place definitely needs more hype. We were kinda hoping it will taste good because it was literally no one there when we got here, but the food is amazing!! The Hainan Chicken with rice is so good, I even want to have another dish. Price is also very good & makes us full for a whole day.

Recommend if you want cheap & delicious Chinese food! 😋

We stopped here on vacation & got the spicy beef rice (pictured) & clear broth beef noodles. In the soup, the broth was delicious & the beef tender. The rice was a tasty blend of textures. My spouse said it was'what every rice bowl I've ever had wishes it could be!' It was already spicy & flavorful on its own, but I added some of the homemade chili oil & that was also incredible! I would come again if I lived nearby!

Very good Chinese restaurant with lots of delicious options, I would recommend the clay pot rice with spicy beef. The menu is also helpful as there are symbols next to each item, making it easy to tell whether the food is spicy or if it has certain ingredients like peanuts, beef, or chicken.
