If anyone wants to wait for more than 1 hour to get a simple meal severed, this is the right place. I tried to get the order done quickly by walking to the counter. But I was told to go back to my seat, it had to be a specific person to take the order. Finally this important lady turned up at our table, and told us that we have to wait until the other guests finished their orders since we arrived after them. 2 entrees and 1 dish were started to be served after 40 mins slowly in different time. After 1 hour or so this order-taking lady came to tell us that the fried rice was missed out.

This very good new restaurant is so popular we couldn’t get a table the previous weekend, so this time we made a booking! Four of us enjoyed a range of shared plates. In particular, we loved the salmon ceviche, the dumplings and the beef brisket.Service was excellent. Only one minor drawback: This restaurant has a lot of tables - both upstairs and down - in a modern space with no soft furnishings so it is quite noisy (not ideal if you are older with limited hearing) But We loved it, and will certainly return soon!

China Grill Chinese Restaurant & Bar

Established in May 2017, brand new decorated and set up. Selections on the local wines, and imported Chinese beers to go with our delicious food.

Went for a meal with friends, had entrees and mains. The food was not overall up to a standard expected in a Chinese restaurant and I cannot recommend it to anyone. Some dishes were OK but most were not nice. The tempura prawns were good but the other mains were not. The beef stew was mainly potatoes and had not been cooked long enough, the sweet and sour pork sauce did not taste right . They made a big thing of the squid ring entree being real squid rings but they were small and there were only six which were overdone. I would not recommend this restaurant one of the worst Chinese meals have had anywhere Hong Kong to Dunedin !
