We ordered Combination Chop Suey $22.00, Szechuan Beef $22.00 and Special Fried Rice $13.00.
My first impression of this restaurant was that it was old and dingy. There were quite a few people there, a large table of birthday revellers, and a number of smaller parties, all seemed happy, enjoying their food. We did notice that patrons didn't hang around, once their meal was finished they left fairly quickly.
The waiter was eager to take our order for food and drinks. No water was served at the table, however we were able to order from a small selection of soft drinks. Our meals were served quickly, within 10 minutes of ordering and the waiter served us up some Special Fried Rice. We were then left to enjoy our meals. I had a quick lesson on how to use chopsticks and managed a few morsels before I gave up and delved into the food with a fork.
Two words summed this meal up for me. "Fairly ordinary." I was a bit disappointed as I'd had this restaurant recommended to me by my son.
The Combination Chop Suey had an unusual tasting meat in it, I thought it was pork, however the waitress told us it was chicken. There were no prawns in it, such a disappointment. This meal didn't do much for me at all.
The Szechuan Beef had a delicious sauce; a subtle spicy dish. The strips of meat were extremely thin, with a crispy coating and had obviously been deep fried. It was only the tasty sauce that saved this dish.
