This restaurant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. There was plenty of choices on the Chinese Restaurant's menu, and we were seated and served our meals promptly. The restaurant has a lovely setting, however as we were there at night, we did not get to enjoy it as much as lunch time diners would. Decoration is very... More

Excellent Chinese food; outstanding environment; good air conditioning. They also provide for takeaway Chinese food and we took advantage of that service as well as the dinning in - over two nights.

Very poor service, meals took a long time and weren't all brought out together. We were at a table of 4 with 4 different meals and nobody enjoyed any of them.

This is supposed to be THE place to eat in Bowen and we had high expectations due to its location on a gorgeous part of the Coral Coast. Unfortunately the food was very average Chinese, staff efficient but not friendly and overall an underwhelmed experience. Location is superb and the wedding venue would be exotic but the food would be... More

The setting is awesome but when you walk in and the waitress hands you a can of bug spray you know something is wrong. We seated at an outside table all ready to watch the sunset and very fast, even with the spray, moved indoors. However, you still needed the spray to prevent being bitten by the sand flies and...

We had high expectations when we were told by a local that it was 'the best chinese' she had ever tasted. We were sadly disappointed as the food seemed to be the same ole take away food I get at my own local Thai/Chinese restaurant. There was nothing at all inspired by the menu. We were very confused about what... More
