"Friend in JB brought us here. Surprisingly authentic taste from China. Lady boss and boss is really kind and helpful. We went for second time before heading back, to have their sour vege fish （酸菜鱼）and the chili fried chicken (辣子鸡）. It’s really good and portion is so much that we have to pack it home. Dropby anytime if you are somewhere here and craving for authentic Chinese food."

"I only took the photo of the vegetable! But the Chinese food here was actually very decent! I loved the 辣子鸡 as it was very very crunchy and juicy! There was also a very good spice to it! And the chicken actually came in big big chunks. I also like the green chilli in oil (I forgot what the name was). But that was also very good as it was homy and cozy and tastes like home This Chinese restaurant may sound suspicious, but it is actually not bad. Try it!"

"We had lunch here in a group of 5. We ordered the 酸菜鱼，辣子鸡，虎皮青椒，some tofu dish & some 笋 dish. The parrot fish used for the 酸菜鱼 was soft & paired perfectly with the soup. 辣子鸡 was very crispy. The other dishes were delicious & went with rice well (their rice is also nice ). It is nice to interact with the owners who are more than willing to share their thoughts & stories about their food. We had a good time. Only downside is parking is very very difficult during lunch time. Excuse me for the lack of photos. I was too busy eating. I will take some photos the next time and upload them."

"Delicious Chinese Cuisine which is reminiscent of simple and tasty 家乡dishes. We ordered mainly simple dishes on our first visit and liked the fact that the food are nicely seasoned and not too oily. 云南辣子鸡is a must order here and 云南凉杂菜is good, so are other dishes. Highly recommended for people who need a fix for Chinese Cuisine to try it out"

"11 Mar 2023. My loved one found this nice restaurant. First time we came to the restaurant but the place was fully booked. We managed to convince the owner to spare us a table at the side of the restaurant. Turned out the side of the restaurant also good as we were the only table. We ordered the sour and hot fist pot, incredible spicy and big portion for just two of us. But taste fresh and really tasty. Owner also recommend another veggie for us and told us enough dishes for us. Owners super friendly. Definitely a place to revisit."
