I really enjoyed my dining experience here ! The staff were so friendly and answered all my questions as I was not sure what to order and what some dishes were . The sweet and sour pork was really nice but had too much batter for my liking . The spring pancakes were my favourite , I got the pork and cumin flavoured dish with less spice – it was still way too spicy for my partner tho

Local and new so worth a try. Dishes are very generous so the approx $20 per main course probably isnt outrageous but the two dishes we tried (sweet and sour pork and some sort of potato and and onion and capsicum in gravy – both recommended by the incredibly friendly waiter) were quite oily and we certainly werent able to finish them. Flavours were fair but to be quite honest it probably wasnt entirely our fave thing in the world.
When this place was opening I saw that their signature dish was sweet and sour pork. My Dad loves sweet and sour so I knew he would want to come here. We went tonight and it was quiet at first; just us and some friends of the owners but it got busy later.
We ordered the sweet and sour pork of course and to our surprise it was our least favourite dish. I liked that it wasnt an Aussie sweet and sour pork but more like an authentic type. The sauce was delicious with no pineapple in sight. Our issue with this dish was that it was too much batter and not enough pork. We also ordered the potato, eggplant and capsicum with gravy, I was a bit worried when I ordered this that it would be an egg gravy which I find bland. I was happy that it was a brown flavoursome gravy, I really loved the potatoes in this dish. Mum ordered the cumin beef which was probably my favourite dish of the night. It had a very nice cumin flavour and it was a little spicy. I really liked the onions in this dish too. We had rice with these dishes which was nice. They gave us a sample of the spring onion bread/pancakes (whatever you call them), it was nice but Id prefer to eat rice with the meals because the meals are oily and the rice cuts through it.
The people working here were very friendly and welcoming. Im noticing that a lot of the newer restaurants opening in Box Hill are being run by friendlier people which is a great change. The people here are from Harbin (North of China, near Russia). I forgot to ask but I assume the food is from Harbin as well. The owners friends were also eating in the restaurant which gave it a nice atmosphere. I did find the food a bit expensive but Id still come back and try other dishes.
