"Sometimes a restaurant weaves its way into your heart for eternity. For full disclosure, you should know that this tiny Chinese restaurant is one of those places for us due to its close proximity to our former student halls. Tears were shed here, kisses we thoroughly regret happened outside, and biblical hangovers were nursed at the back table over a quarter crispy duck with pancakes. It’s very much a casual affair and permanently packed with local students, but when it comes to a quickfire meal in the area involving seaweed, crispy duck, and their winning beef with black bean sauce, it’s perfect. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Don't let the interesting name steer you wrong. This is definitely Asian food culture! We had great service from our server, Kevin. The food literally came out from the kitchen in 5 minutes. Wonderfully fresh and authentic. One dish we tried was the chicken chow mien. Noodles were soft. Onions cooked with a perfect crunch, and the sauce complimented the chicken well. The second dish was spicy Szechuan prawns that had just the right amount of sweet heat paired with fried rice. The restaurant was very clean with 5 tables occupied on a Monday night. Kevin took time to answer all of our tourist questions and was a joy to speak with. I will definitely try this place again before we leave! I hope it will warm up to enjoy their outdoor seating area.

Delicious, hot Chinese food with speedy and friendly service! Generous portions for a great price. Great variety of Chinese dishes and I look forward to returning to try more. Highly recommended if you are in the Waterloo area!

Fantastic gem of a restaurant in a lovely little spot near Waterloo Station. Always look for an excuse to pop in or grab a takeaway. Staff extremely pleasant once they get used to you; I like that better to be honest, rather than false friendliness

Great customer service, speedy service too. Affordable prices. But sadly the food wasn’t as good as I was expecting. Egg fried rice and sweet and sour chicken was good portions. The vegetable spring rolls tasted off? And I noticed my glass had an odd smell. Four stars as the main dishes were okay & as mentioned, the service was very good. I would return but perhaps try a different fish and avoid the spring rolls

Food: very tasty as if we are back in Asia. I don’t think msg was added at all. According to my hubby, the laksa seafood noodles tasted like what he used to have in Burma. I love their **super tender ** beef belly rice. Services: the owner is from HK years ago. Super friendly and patience to introduce the dishes. The waitress is very attentive to guests Atmosphere: best family and friends gatherings place after work.
