A Taste of China 🇨🇳 中国风味

Tried the wonton, braised beef brisket noodle and scallion oil noodle. The wontons had a meatball‑like filling wrapped in soft skin with soup that felt oily though the preserved veg gave a refreshing crunch. The noodles were decent though flavour leaned on the lighter side.

Overall, portions and flavours were decent but average. Nothing bad but nothing memorable either.

They only serve two types of fish, sea bass (small) and limbo (big) with flavours like Sichuan green pepper, Chongqing, hot mala, sauerkraut, Thai style, tomato and garlic.

I went for the limbo fish with their signature green pepper flavour. It came out freshly grilled, smoky and packed with that addictive Sichuan spice kick. You can add on sides starting from $3.20 or just grab their “nutritional combo” at $9.80 (2 veg + 1 meat). I topped mine up with sweet potato vermicelli, enoki mushrooms and luncheon meat, the perfect mix to soak up all that flavour. Besides the fish, the shredded potato (土豆丝) was a nice surprise. It looked fiery red but was actually pretty mild with a fragrant touch of sesame oil.

Overall, this spot is a gem for affordable Sichuan grilled fish. Tasty, filling and won’t burn a hole in your wallet.

The textures were good with plenty of crunch and that familiar mala stir-fry char. Heat was decent but the spices weren’t very fragrant and the overall bowl leaned too salty which made it less enjoyable. Still works as a quick mala fix but not one that stands out among stronger, more balanced bowls 》$17

Plenty of variety on the table from crisp bites to smoky skewers and garlicky veg, the lineup was hearty and satisfying. The spice and smokiness carried through most dishes nicely, making it a lively meal to share. The only miss for me was the mouthwatering chicken but everything else came together as a flavour-packed spread that felt balanced and fun. A spot that delivers on bold flavours and makes group dining feel like a proper feast.

The spicy chicken cubes (辣子鸡) never fails. It’s crunchy, fiery with chilies, peanuts and sweet onions that round out the heat. The shredded potato (土豆丝)is my other staple, crisp and tangy with that addictive bite.

First time adding mapo tofu to the mix . It’s silky smooth and savoury, though lighter on the numbing spice than expected. Still, it’s a gentle balance to the bolder dishes.

This was a complimentary dish from one of the lovely staff and it turned out to be a highlight. Silky poached chicken, chilled and drenched in fragrant chilli oil with crunchy peanuts, cucumber and mashed garlic. It looked fiery but wasn’t overly spicy, bold, savoury and beautifully balanced 》$10.80

These wantons looked fiery in its deep red broth but the spice was surprisingly gentle. Each wonton was plump, silky and filled with well‑seasoned meat, soaking up just enough of the fragrant chilli oil to stay flavourful without overwhelming. A dish that balances comfort. Bold in appearance, mellow in taste and easy to love 》$8.80 / 8 Pcs

Lightly crisp florets with a touch of seasoning and savoury depth. A simple, comforting side that balances out the spicier dishes, making it a quiet but essential part of the spread 》$13.80

Fried till crisp, tossed with heaps of dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. Crazy spicy, crunchy, aromatic and addictive. The kind of dish that keeps you reaching back even as the heat builds 》$20.80

This grilled fish was highly recommended by the staff and it didn’t disappoint. Served bubbling with onions, beansprout, green and red chillies. The fish was tender and soaked up all the flavours beautifully.

Though it looked bright red and fiery, the spice was actually well‑balanced. The mid spicy broth was drinkable, making the whole dish comforting rather than overwhelming. A dish that’s easy to enjoy and share 》$29.80 / Limbo Fish

Skewers aren’t the main draw here but they’re worth a try. Had the lamb, pork and mushroom skewers, all grilled to tender perfection with char and seasoning. It’s been a while since skewers felt this soft, tender and satisfying.
