What to Order
Egg Rolls
These are not your average egg rolls; they are praised for their exceptional taste and are made from scratch, including the plum sauce.
"Our first time, food was delicious, we will be back, best egg rolls we’ve ever tasted."
Christine Gargan
Ginger Scallion Lobster
A highly recommended dish featuring fresh lobster, often sourced directly from fishermen, stir-fried with aromatic ginger and scallions.
"We had reserved the lobster stir fried with green onion and ginger and it was amazing! The lobster was fresh off the fishermen's boat a few hours before dinner, and it was flavourful and tender."
Alice YB
Dry-Fried Green Beans
These green beans are a standout side dish, often prepared with pork and Szechuan sauce, offering a burst of flavor and perfect texture.
"Get both the Dry-Fried Green Beans and the Salt & Pepper Squid; the only way to choose one over the other would be by coin toss and now is no time for scarcity."
Lewis MacPherson
Sweet & Sour Pork
A classic dish elevated here with a perfectly balanced and deep flavor profile, avoiding the overly sweet pitfalls of lesser versions.
"Yang Chow Fried Rice was more than the sum of its parts and the Sweet & Sour Pork was perfectly balanced and deep."
Lewis MacPherson
Braised Pork Belly
This rich and tender pork belly dish is a must-try, often served with unique accompaniments like celeriac puree and daikon.
"Do yourself a favor and get the braised pork belly and also try the egg roll! But honestly everything in the menu is fantastic go in with an open mind and be ready to be amazed"
Ross macdonald
Peking Duck
Whether as a full experience or in creative forms like tacos, the Peking Duck is consistently praised for its outstanding quality and preparation.
"His peking duck is outstanding."
Erin Leith
Chili Oil Wontons
These wontons are a flavorful appetizer, highly recommended for their delicious taste and the kick from the chili oil.
"Great service, fantastic food - lots of tasty options. Be sure to try the chili oil wontons!"
