<update>Since the original write up, we have been back many times and have always enjoyed their food. I have had their Hot Pot and that is fine. Their salt and pepper squid is always the first thing we order.

They are good value, take it from me. The bowls of soup noodles are also huge.

Be aware that spicy means spicy there! This is more Southern Chinese cooking rather than Cantonese.

There's like a little Chinatown/Asiantown thing going on near the train station, with a Chinese noodle bar, Korean restaurant (Happy House) and Oriental supermarket already there.

There is newish Chinese cafe/restaurant there called Little Asia. It was a recommendation from someone who has picked up on eateries from my web site. He also laments the change in management of Ocean City and was looking for other places to try. this place doesn't do Dim Sum but has a wide range of dishes and they do Hot Pots.

I haven't tried a hotpot yet, although you do all the cooking yourself it's nice to have a wide range of ingredients instead of having to buy it all at home.

We went late one Sunday afternoon to give it a try. There were a couple of dishes I wouldn't get again namely the Roast Duck Cantonese style, as I really just wanted a plate of roast duck and not have sauce all over it and the sweet chilli chicken.

What I definitely would have again is the Malaysian Seafood Ho Fun. And I will be going back. Very good value.
