   Our server was so friendly and even brought out a complimentary dessert with sparklers for my friends birthday! Was also delighted that there were excellent vegan options on the menu. Highly recommend :)

   Nice atmosphere, however the vegetarian dishes we ordered were underwhelming. There was no heat across the dishes, and they were generally underseasoned. Pickles and salads were the same across dishes, and the vegetable san choy bow filling appeared to be a frozen peas/corn/carrot mix with some onion and cabbage added. A dish from our order was missed by the person taking our order, and service was slow with limited staff on the floor. Cocktails were also average, the Mango Tango had no chilli flavour to it despite this being listed in the profile. Dishes with meat or seafood dishes may have been different, however the vegetarian selection we experienced was bland.

   This is a nice place and busy. Great dumplings!! Pretty good value and good drinks too. The service was lacking tonight unfortunately. It was was very slow and our server was absolutely disinterested. She also left my main off our order. Which was disappointing as I was very keen to try the kingfish. Overall, it was a lackluster experience tonight. Disappointed…

   I wasn't super impressed with the dinner here unfortunately. I called up early to check if we could come at 6pm as our booking was for 5:30pm and the lady on the phone was quick to answer that they were booked out for the night. When we arrived there were hardly any people there until when we left at 6:30pm. The duck pancakes said that they camewith chinese brocolli and instead came with iceberg lettuce and fermented cabbage which wasn't in line with the menu. We ordered a cocktail as a virgin cocktail and were still charged $20 for it even though it didn't have alcohol in it. Usually mocktails are a lot cheaper than cocktails. We had the duck spring rolls and the duck meat was very fatty - more like minced duck with a weird taste. Kung Pow chicken and fried rice were good but not what you would expect for the price you are paying. I saw a lot of positive reviews which is why I was keen to try this place. Would say that the cauliflower was the best out of what we ordered.

   We were greeted with open arms thanks to Fletch!!!! Very attentive service. The food was reasonably priced, not a generous serve, but suited the volume of food presented. The only mishap was that we ordered a bowl of plain rice to have with our meals. We had finished all our meals and the rice was an no show.

   Expected Asian. The chefs were not Asian. The food took a long time. Staff very friendly. Liked the honey lemon prawns. The sizzling steak had no flavour

   Great food, great cocktails, great service. Highly recommend Hizola's! The team went out of their way to make my birthday lunch extra special. We'll be back again.

   Staff were extremely pleasant and attentive, food is very reasonably priced for its high quality. We particularly liked the Pork belly char-sui with apple ginger and the king pao chicken. The restaurant is tucked away from the traffic and it was enjoyable to dine and converse with our guests- sometimes restaurants are too loud. We enjoyed our dining experience and would recommend.

    Excellent meal, just as good as the Burleigh Heads Restraunt. Good selection of food and nice wine, will be back
