Mietta's Review
Highly awarded Chinese restaurant with excellent food from an extensive menu and a big, thoughtful wine list. It's the added service provided by the wine list that draws the wine cognescenti in. The space is large and can be very busy, but the service is smooth and professional. There is also a noodle bar (6A Abbott St Cairns ph 4041 7077) with super fast service and very good, cheap food. Recommended.

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland Score: 15/20, One Hat "A visit to this outwardly nondescript Chinese will deliver so much more than expected on so many levels. There are two seating areas that virtually meld, though one is more casual"

Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 15/20, One Hat "Ever since the doors opened in 1996 the owner and head chef have consistently been putting smiles on their loyal patrons' faces. Raymond Li's artistry in presenting authentic Peking and Hong Kong cuisine is one not to be missed if flawless Chinese is what you're craving"
