“ Good ol fashion Chinese restaurant with lots of seating. Service was fast and all the food we had was tasty, felt like home made and has a great variety of food. A side of extra garlic and green chillis of you so desire. I would recommend the signature Tofu dish. Sweet and Sour pork was cooked perfectly and ironically the Lemon Onion rings and Chicken was great too. ”
“ Best chinese fare in Penang - a must try! Been heading here for years, always happy with the food. This time we had the signature bean curd (they do it with local bean curd too instead of the egg tofu - tell them your preference), steamed sliced grouper with spring onions and sliced ginger signature pork ribs, fried eggplant. Everything was top notch. Just go, don't think twice! ”
“ This is one of the best Chinese restaurants that I found in Penang. It is a large restaurant with a big banquet hall and a few private rooms. The restaurant is good for big banquet, company dinner, and private gathering. It was very popular on the day that we had our dinner. It was full house. It was definitely under staff for serving the tables. However, the kitchen was very efficient and our food came soon after we made our order. We ordered their signature pork spare rib which tasted very good. The sour and spicy soup is also not bad. It is slightly different from that I had in Hong Kong and China (上海酸辣湯)。 The claypot Tofu is also good. However the 魚香茄子 (eggplant) is not that good. I could taste the flour for the deep fried eggplant. The dry shrimps （蝦米）fried with the eggplant were very hard. Nevertheless, the overall impression is good. Will come again to try other dishes. ”
“ Very accommodating service. Food was good as expectable for a restaurant Parking could be tight. ”
