Nice Chinese food. The menu has all the key dishes - Sizzling steak, chicken, prawns, sweet and…read moresour pork and fried rice. The dishes are a decent serving size and the staff are generally quite nice. Pricing is on par with what you would expect. The food quality is good and there are a lot of flavors. Vegetables are generally pretty fresh which is also a positive. The steak is flavorsome however seasoning and sauces on some dishes can sometimes be a bit bland for my taste. The store is well positioned in the heart of McLaren Vale by the caravan park and is good for a quick dinner. Meals are $11 to $16. Personal favorites from the menu are Pork ribs in plum sauce, sizzling pepper chicken, satay chicken and lemon chicken. Rice is sold separately for $3 and is generally nice fluffy. Medium serves are not that much more pricey.

So after struggling to find a decent Chinese restaurant in the berbs, I did have high expectations for this gem. Although the street appeal probably isn't anything to woo at, and inside is a tad bit dated, yet is still humble in a family restaurant kind of way. I feel it may have been the owners who were working the front of house, and they were both lovely. They clearly have been in the business a while and did a good job and making us feel comfortable, and giving us a little giggle as well. The menu had heaps of choose from. Seemed as if there were a few extra options compared to other basic Chinese restaurants, including a traditional and western dessert menu. I had the Chicken Satay dish off the chef special menu. It was amazing. The sauce was flavoursome and certainly didn't seem like out of a jar type of thing. It was served with broccoli pieces as well as a little burning flame in the middle of the plate. My partner had the Sizzling Steak Mongolian style dish and the pieces were tender and juicy, with lovely sweet and tangy Mongolian flavours through-out. The plate was also served with vegetables. I love this place. It's my new found gem. I've been searching a while for a nice place to grab some quality Chinese food, and I think I've found my stop. This place isn't anything designer or high-end perhaps, but it still possess a charming old-school look and humble home-style meals, which is something I look when dining at Asian restaurants in the berbs.

It's take away only, the young ladies on the front counter know their menu. They are willing to share ideas and although not totally clear on the menu - the vegetarian options are excellent. The price structure is on point. The portions are very satisfactory - we chose 7 dishes and were able to spread it across 2 meals amongst 4 adults. A gem of a place and is firmly our favourite Chinese in Victor when next we come and stay next.

Ordered takeaway at 7pm on a cold Tuesday night & was back in my car driving home by 7:15pm.

What I loved was the friendly prompt service, the free prawn crackers thrown in & the fact that after eating it I felt good. No trace of MSG. Nothing to complain about here. Will definitely be going back :)

First time here. My friends recommended we dine out here as they have been here a few times…read morealready. The restaurant is positioned facing the beach. However, it's hard to notice them as they are not near to any other retail shops at the beach road. It's kind of funny because as you turned right driving from beach road to Esplanade, the first few buildings are actually residential houses. That kinda led me thinking... did i missed the restaurant, but as you drive farther down, there it is, 37 Esplanade. The restaurant itself isn't big, but it can still sit about max 40 pax I think, judging from the amount of tables they have there. During our 2 hours there for dinner, the restaurant managed to fill up about 1/3 to nearing half the number of tables there. Today we ordered Deep fried fish fillet with cream corn sauce, Mandarin pork chop, sizzling mongolian beef, curry chicken, and peking duck and special fried rice as the starch for the meal. We didn't have to wait long for the food. While we were still chatting away, the food started arriving one after another. That's a plus. Now for the food tasting.. Among the six dishes I've mentioned, I like the Deep fried fish with cream corn sauce. Followed by the peking duck.. The duck itself is tasty, but because it's peking duck, there's only really a few pieces of meat. We should have ordered roast duck instead. The fried rice is rather good too. I will say the curry chicken is alright, even though it's not the type of curry that I'm hoping (think it's green curry), I'm not a fan of the mongolian beef and the mandarin pork chop. Really, I can't tell the difference between those two dish, as the sauce taste similar, and the texture of the meat felt similar as well. All the dishes though are good in the sense that they aren't too salty or sweet. So when we finished all the rice, we can still eat the meat dishes on its own. To be honest, there's a few yays and a couple of nays. And while there's not a 3.5 star available for rating, 4 star is still acceptable for the overall value, taste and service provided.
