Love the food here. We ordered the chicken pot and skewers with no high expectation and were surprised by the flavour - well-cooked and skewers were never served with charred. What we experienced were completely different from the negative reviews. Changed owner/cook? Anyway, this place is now my only go to place for Chinese food.
