Mietta's Review
Tasty, interesting and budget priced Chinese food that doesn't pander to ideas of what non-Asian palates expect. Many dishes feature the stomachs and the tongues of various beasts, but there are also roast ducks and chickens and suckling pigs. Canberra's best roasting shop.

Other published opinions

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 "Canberra's first Chinese barbecue shop still bustles with locals addicted to the red-tinged pork, excellent duck, and the sweet, whitepeppered gow gee that bob tantalisingly in the specialty - clear soups"

SMH Good Food Guide 2006 "Whole roast ducks and chickens hang next to sides of crisp-skin pork at Canberra's best Chinese BEG joint. Take away or eat in for lightning fast service and great value."
