Had dinner with hubby and son here for the first time. Service is good , food were generous portion , delicious and reasonably priced. The chilli pork rib was good, love the special spicy slight numbing flavour. Will return to try other dishes in near future. Despite many negative reviews about this restaurant, we decided to give it a try ... am glad we did.
