Best roast duck, roast pork and roast meats in Richmond!! Went to restaurant late in the evening, as most roast goodies were sold out, ordered other dishes instead. Dishes ordered were just ok, not extraordinarily good and slightly pricy. Will be back only for the roast goodies!!
Spinach with Salted Egg & Century Egg $21.00 A nice unique taste combination - Salty egg, alkaline century egg and spinach! |

A very popular restaurant in Box Hill. Love the food. Always top quality and freshness.
Unfortunately dining experience on Saturday night was a huge letdown. The rice vermicelli in both Bu'n with Char-grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Singapore Noodle were in broken little pieces. Not quality cooking. Left restaurant feeling very disappointed. Hope kitchen was just having a bad night, an off day!!

Nice deco. It's an Asian, Malaysian and Thai restaurant. The dinning experience from the 4 dishes ordered for the evening was hugely disappointing. Non-conventional style cooking. Will not be back.
