Great atmosphere in this little place. There are a couple of restaurants inside with tables and chairs, like a mini food court. Cheap, with good dumplings and a variety of yummy hot soups/curries. Quick service, get in for a quick easy lunch. The Peking dumplings are sensational as were the steamed chicken and prawn. These dumplings were delicious and huge! Generous portions. Very friendly service. Most meals under $10 - cheap and cheerful. Meals served quickly, tea is complimentary. Kids will love it.

Food is yummy and authentic. It is very cheap and cheerful, just walk in and first in first served. Decor isn't fancy BUT the Tea-smoked duck, salt-and-pepper squid, salt-and-pepper tofu and asian greens ROCK and are the best in town!! Their carafe of white wine is pretty good too surprisingly!!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. The artists that perform here are around quite a bit before and after shows in the bar. Really quirky and casual with a broad selection of beverages at great prices. Five star reviews!! Cool place that is very easily missed, find the stairs!
