    We did the Yang Banquet Meal with the wine pairing and it was sensational. We dined on Valentine’s Day and it was a full house. However our food was delivered in a timely manner and to an impeccable standard. We loved every dish and we found the wines accentuated the flavours in each dish perfectly. Was a magical experience and would happily recommend and dine again in a heartbeat! Service too was attentive, professional, warm and friendly. Loved everything about our Valentines dinner at Mamasan! Thank you to all.

    Great food served by friendly helpful staff. The place had a good vibe - not surprising as every seat was full when we got there. Music loud enough to enjoy but still able to talk. Not the cheapest but some of the best Japanese we have eaten in quite some time.

    If you're looking for a burger experience that ticks all the boxes, this spot in Surfers is a must-visit. The burgers here are not only large and incredibly tasty, but they also offer great value. The side dish of macaroni cheese is a delicious addition that you won't want to miss. To top it all off, the staff are super friendly, making the overall dining experience fantastic. 🍔🧀👍

    Suzanne and Teddy are fantastic hosts as always! We were in one of the private rooms and 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed every single dish of the Peking Duck Banquet for my Son's 13th Birthday. The food is up there with flavour and portion size and is as good or better than any major capital City in Australia. Have also had the salt and pepper mud crab and it's the best I've ever had. Well done Suzanne and Teddy for putting the GC on the map for brilliant Chinese food. cheers Matt
