This new Chinese restaurant in Mona Vale is incredible . The chef is from one of the top Chinese restaurants in Melbourne and after trying lunch here it is clear Melbournes loss is Mona’s gain . Tried the Szechuan beef, combination laksa, and wonton soup and all dishes were superb, the Laksa being the best we have had outside of Asia . Serve sizes for the lunch specials were huge. Friendly and helpful staff. We will be back …for dinner next time !
