Flourishing Cafe

We had lunch and dinner at this restaurant serveral times. We came back for dinner recently. On arrival, we found that the restraurant was pretty crowded and of course noicy. However we were not disappointed. The service was still good and friendly. The waiters and waitresses were friendly and helpful. As for the food they still maintain the same quality of taste. If you are keen to try some Chinese dishes, this will be a good place to start with. No language and parking problem.

Sometimes the food is really good sometimes it’s really bad. They last time I went made me decide never to go again. Staff should be able to describe dishes to customers. Utensils where properly washed and looked old and all scratched up. The soup was really nice but I have never seen wontons like the ones they serve in my life.

Nice clean environment and friendly prompt service. Don't order the wontons as they are oily and paper thin with the tiniest smear of filling. Hot pot was tasty with a good variety of meat and seafood but more than half tofu and just a few veges on top. Fried tofu with Maggi sauce was yummy and a huge portion. Both these meals suffered from a lack of seasoning however. Vermicelli noodles were a lot drier than we expected but tasty and pleasantly spicy with plenty of meat and shrimp. Glad we had so much leftover as otherwise this would have been a very pricy meal.

My favourites were the fried wontons and the lunch special Roast Duck noodle soup. Such good value for the noodles and very hearty servings. The fried wontons were a bit different to what I was expecting, in fact much better. I only wish there was more filling to get better value. The other dishes we had were cooked so perfectly, even the prawns. The only thing I disliked was that there was a lot of fried onions and not many other vegetables to fill up the prawn and pork dishes. Other than that, 5 stars for quality and value of food, service was decent and fast on a Monday for lunch. Just wish I ordered more fried wontons to take home lol

Came here for a birthday celebration. Excellent Service. Very friendly and cheerful staff. Great quality food.

A good place to have a quality Chinese food. Compared to other Chinese restaurants I tried around new Lynn , this place is great in terms of food and service. Loved the sizzling beef and chicken. Better to order steam rice which is 1.50$ and go ahead with different dishes. Better to book in advance as it tend to get busy in the evening. As it doesn't have much space , restaurant tend to be noisy when crowded.

ok food relative to price. But the sevice was so poor that I will never come back here.

Yuck atmosphere with no music, old carpet, just overall a dirty feeling. The worst part of it was the absolutely horrible rude lady serving. She would not even give me an itemised receipt. She ruined the whole experience for our group with her attitude . The men cooking were nice even if they’re back of house. Will never come back.

Really disappointed with the food , atmosphere and overall presentation of the place! Heard so many good things about this restaurant, but was really let down . Food was bland , was like sitting in a big empty warehouse. Such a shame. Lady who looked after us was nice , but that's where it ends. Definitely won't be back .

Could not eat 2 boxes of $60 worth of takeaway food as it was given in a very thin cheap paper box and it broke and had to throw it away. Other 2 boxes of food were given in plastic containers and was very good and tasty. The lady at the counter was very rude as well. So I have to give one star.
