Mietta's Review
In the premises used by "My Restaurant Rules" Gigi Chan from T Chow and chef Chun Ho Lee from Ying Chow are challenging the ruling 'Italian' ethos of this good time strip of Rundle St. The purity of China town's Cantonese based cooking has given way to 'modern' Chinese food - an Adelaide version of Sichuan and Cantonese dishes. It's professionally served in a stylish up-to-date room at reasonable prices with a good wine list.
Other published opinions
Gourmet Traveller 2006 Australian Restaurant Guide "Two of Chinatown's experienced hands have moved to the other side of the CBD, setting up in the fashionable East End ... the paint job is a burst of jade and terracotta, tables comfortably spaced and the clatter muted. The food has also been refined"
Adelaide Advertiser Food and Drink 16/3/05 Score: 15 Tim Lloyd "Stylish Chinese eating in the centre of Rundle St East's main drag."
