Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The restaurant is small (capacity of around 40), but it was full. One lady served all the tables with a smile on her face. We took Salt and Pepper Prawns. Serving was big, and taste was simply the best beside quite big Prawns. Lemon Chicken...was good, too. Serving was big. Prices are reasonable. I will highly recommend this restaurantMore

Surprisingly, their website doesn't have either a dine-in or takeaway menu. I was staying in an Airbnb nearby and called in to pick up a menu when attending nearby shops. If dining in, the restaurant is very small, so booking would be essential. The food...is excellent, reasonably priced and the takeaway containers were full. The steamed rice is excellent value at $3. Tasty good value food.More

Very good food. The dumplings were as good as in Hong Kong. You feel like being in Hong Kong, the people there are very friendly.

If you are a meat eater - plates overflowing but sadly the vegetarian option ( tofu costs far less than meat ) was only 5 small pieces drowned out by a few limp vegetables. Service was super friendly. Lovely woman who took care of us....Much appreciated.More

We’ve been ordering takeaway from Tim Hei since 1 Feb (Chinese NY): lobster yee mien though expensive was perfect for celebration. They are so kind that they will even cook off the menu dishes, given notice. I thoroughly recommend Ah Ching’s cooking and Becky’s service.

This is a cafe style resteraunt that is spotlessly clean, has great service, has amasing food and is extremely well priced. A resteraunt for those looking for authentic food. It is BYO and has water glasses for all drinks. I strongly commend the resteraunt to...those seeking a great food experience.More
