Editorial Review

The usual bits of cultural kitsch adorn the walls, but this homely Chinese outlet sets itself apart from its peers by offering Hakka specialities, with ginger and mild curry favours spiking many of the dishes. Hakka shrimp balls, for instance, are cooked with green chilies, onions, coriander, ginger and garlic sauce. The fusion even extends into chow mein and fried rice dishes. Delivery and takeout are popular. Mains $8.50–$11.
