"Easy to notice from road side.. 1st time having dinner at this resto. Been there with group at boxing day.... few tables occupied and take quite long time for them to serve what we ordered. Is it because of boxing day or ...? Steam Fish is good, while others is so so..."

"As a Hong-Konger, I cannot believe I can find the most authentic Cantonese cuisine during my trip in New Zealand. I am pretty surprised that this restaurant did not get enough attention in the town. Maybe the decors and vibe are not that appealing compared to the modern standard but I guarantee you will get a good food experience here. Language could be a bit difficult for ordering traditional Cantonese cuisine though:) The dim sum and night dishes are fabulous with very reasonable price and portions! I went back 3 times during my 6 day trips around Hamilton!! Hopefully they receive much more support from town as it will be a great loss if these traditional Cantonese cuisine disappears one day:("
