Easily walk in and take a seat by the window, enjoy the colorful glasses of the time reflections, breathe in, prepare a few minutes for your order.

We ordered 5 different dishes and shared. Everyone was happy on all counts. I was given a menu handout that I will try to attach. It is not quite the same as the "working menu", but it will give an idea of the variety of food and the prices to be expected. Rating this as a "Chinese restaurant in Oamaru", I will stay with 4 stars. Otherwise, I'd give it 3.
