    Incredible. Even my teenage son wants to go back. Simple and delicious. Possibly the best chicken we have ever had!

    My first time at this restaurant. The food is simple but delicious. The duck is brilliant. There are not many staff members, so you need to order and pay at the till. You also help yourself with drinks and cutlery. Overall, everything is great. I would love to come back again to try more dishes.

    A bit tucked away next to the bustling market, this place is truly a hidden gem. Simple settings but very clean and welcoming. Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the food here. The highlights were definitely the “soft noodles” on the menu - which was stir fried noodles with your choice of meat. We had ducks, pork belly and charsiu. The duck and pork belly were amazing, charsiu was just okay. You get 5% off the total bill if pay in cash. Highly recommend.
