CHEEK AND CHONG

Fried chicken wings were AMAZING but didn't come with enough sauce.nDishes are made to share.nWe had the vegan dumplings but didn't like them.nLemongrass chicken for the main, very nice. Make sure you add rice as meals don't come with rice. We also had wok greens and had to take food home in a container as ordered too much.nnDessert was chilli chocolate fondant and that was the best I've ever had!nnStaff were welcoming and helpful.

Very nice location and food was mostly okay. However, the duck was disappointing. Flavors were nice, but what happened to the flesh? I felt as though I was picking at what was left on the carcass. Far to expensive for the price.nnThe service was appalling. No eye contact and didn't give us enough time to check out the menu. A little animation would have gone a long way.nnThe food arrived in a timely manner, but again no words spoken or eye contact. Our food was plonked on the table and she whisked herself away.nnWe will not be back. Part of the experience of sharing a meal with someone is the people that serve you - their friendliness and interest in making the diner feel welcome. This restaurant has a long way to go in this area.

We highly recommend eating here. Favorites are the popcorn prawns, kaffir lime chicken, pork belly and shaking beef. Love the tapioca as well for a refreshing dessert.nGreat customer service.nCan get a bit noisy, so it's no good if you want a quiet romantic night. We love it though. Great for groups as well.nWe always forget to take photos as we are so eager to eat the yummy dishes.

We came here during Friday lunchtime and there were quite a few tables available. The interior was lovely and the tables set up on the ceiling as installations were quite cool. We ordered the crispy Hapuka curry which was flavourful and delicious. The kingfish sashimi was also very nice and the shaking beef was a large serving and very tender with Kai lan that was cooked perfectly with the right amount of crispiness. We really enjoyed the sweet and sour pork as well. It was more sour than sweet which cut the richness of the pork belly and was served in large cubes. If we were to come back it would be for the food alone as sadly, the service made it a less enjoyable experience. Depending on who the server was, they were either uninterested or just plain rude.

The visual presentation of our choice from an extensive menu was delightful.nA blend of aromas, colour, textures and balance well plated.nOverall ambience of this establishment lacked background music to fade the noisy chatter from surrounding tables.nReasonably priced with friendly Servers.
