But ... service as soon as we arrived was outstanding. Friendly, but professional. We started off with vegetarian spring rolls which were your basic spring rolls - tasty, not greasy at all. Wine list was quite extensive too, which is a bonus! For mains, we shared the BBQ Pork Ribs with Plum Sauce, Satay Beef and Sizzling Chicken with Garlic. My partner's 6 year old ordered what all 6 year olds would probably order ... chicken nuggets and chips. No, not very Chinese, but I guess the restaurant knows what a good kids menu should include! All our main meals were outstanding - and yes, I was surprised! Especially the BBQ Pork Ribs, which could be 'cut' with a spoon (and had hardly any bones). I swear the meal wasn't as good as this last time we visited (which was about a year ago) - I am seriously impressed, and already planning a return visit. Oh, and 3 adults and 1 child for a total of $85 (and that included a glass of wine for each adult) - well, that's even better ;)

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.

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.

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.

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.

It does get busy as they are very well known in this area but you still don't usually have to wait long. They do have a beautiful restaurant here with dishes they bring out still sizzling on the plates. They also do great banquets if you are having a funtion or celebrating something here. You can get pretty much a bit of everything for a very small price for a proper restaurant meal. For example their 9 course banquet is under $25 per person for 4 or more (but the 8 course banquet can cater for as few as 2 people and has fried ice cream!!!!). The best and most popular part of this place is the takeaway noodle bar. You can get 2 main meal dishes with either rice or noodles for only $10.80 at dinner time and $9.80 at lunch. There's a great choice of dishes, you can choose just what you want for yours and everyone else can do the same, it's usually all ready to go in the display and you rarely have to wait for more to be cooked. If you do it doesn't take long though. You can also get spring rolls and both fried and steamed dim sims from the take away bar with specials on those as well usually if you buy a few. And of course with all good chinese - don't forget to grab a pack of fortune cookies and some prawn crackers off the counter too!
