One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chch, really recommended “Kung Pao Chicken” and “Small potato big dish Chicken ”

If you’re like me, sometimes all you want for lunch is a hot plate of rice with a few hearty, familiar dishes. I found just that at a humble Chinese restaurant in Christchurch — and the best part? It was only $10. Here’s what I had today: • 🔥 Mapo Tofu – Silky soft tofu with a light kick of spice and that signature numbing flavor. Not too oily, super comforting, and perfect with rice. • 🥬 Stir-fried Celery with Pork – Crisp celery and tender pork slices cooked simply but full of wok hei — tasted just like home cooking. • 🥔 Braised Beef Brisket with Potato – The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the potato soaked up all that rich, savory sauce. It honestly felt like something that had been simmering for hours in a family kitchen. 🍚 Served with a generous portion of steamed white rice, the whole meal felt hearty, warm, and deeply satisfying. No frills, just honest-to-goodness food that reminds you of a meal back home. 📍 If you’re in Christchurch and craving a real Chinese lunch that doesn’t break the bank, this spot is a hidden gem. The dishes change daily too — so there’s always something new to try.

First time to red bowl and had yum cha lunch there. Food is ok but not fantastic. Our pork dumplings(Siu mai) are very dry. Bbq rice vermicelli roll doesn't look very nice. Prawn dumpling taste the best among all those dim sum we ordered.

Excellent Well presented and keenly priced authentic Chinese food. Well worth it.
