You can always (most of times) believe in a owner chef. He will try to bring out his best for his restaurant. 4 start for the flavour and plus 1 star for hardworking chef - each serve is hand made in the open kitchen.
Authentic stir fried takeaway restaurant with nice wok hey. The chef is good at controlling temperature and brings out good texture of the ingredients and the carbs (can be different kinds of noodle and rice).
The ingredients may not be the best - most of them are frozen or marinated for quite sometime (apologise if I’m wrong), but the price is reasonable and most importantly each serve is hand cooked.
Can be a bit smelly to dine in because the open kitchen, would be alright to take a sit on Botany Rd for a quick bite and just bring home to enjoy with ice beer.

The best salt and pepper squid I've ever tasted (and trust me, that's a lot!), the honey chicken and honey prawns are to die for and the sweet and sour pork is just awesome! Freshly made, piping hot and consistently amazing! Don't let the decor or the facade of the shop put you off!

The laska here is fantastic. Used to have it 15 years ago and recently remembered and came back. Great value and unlike other laksa's in Sydney, plenty of vegetables so you're actually full after finishing. More

The food is so good! Lady Ann is very friendly and always serve fruit as bonus IF there is in her kitchen. Waiting time can be long because there is only one chef. Recommend you to make the order via phone first.

Boy! We are so glad that we tried this place.. The prawn laksa and the sweet & sour chicken are the best we ever tasted 👏🍜😋.. Authentic and very delicious with big servings. 🤩 The crew are nice and accomodating with the order placement.. They don't accept credit cards though, it is a small family owned business.

This place has been doing the BEST freshly wok cooked takeout for years. The pork Singapore fried rice is a personal favourite, haven’t found a better in Sydney.
