The place is very nicely decorated with water pond of swimming fishes and has private rooms for diners too. Staff were attentive and service was prompt. We ordered a local stir fry vegetable, deep fried bugs... More

Excellent food and freshness. The staff were very helpful, explained everything well. Wouldn't say they were overly friendly, but very efficient. Good atmosphere, with lots of people, don't let them put you in the quiet room. biggest crayfish Ive ever seen. Very fast service as well.

A helpful waitress assisted in choosing or dinner, which included lobster, tiger prawns and sea bass. All were excellent. Also had the crab... More

Wonderful freshly cooked seafood. A bit pricey - about A$35 per person, but we did have lobster and beer! Best deep fried fish we've had since Vietnam in the Mekong Delta

Now we can understand the different reviews totally, ecept for Peter the waiter the rest of the staff have an attitude problem which reflects in their performance and shows straight through to the customer. In relation to the food we had a... More

A very convenient seafood place to go in the city. We went there on our last day in KK and was pleasently surprise for the selection of seafood. We were told that it was a chinese food establishment and the price was fair. We had crabs, prawns, clams, some vegetables and noodles and drinks for 3 persons and paid RM280... More

Nothing special and expensive. We got charged for some peanuts they brought to us and nobody asked for and also for the paper tissues they gave us to clean our hands!
